Kimi Antonelli

The Mercedes gun has ticked the first box in his quest to secure a maiden world title this weekend.

As the rest of the grid flounders, Kimi Antonelli could rewrite the history books as early as Austin.

Lewis Hamilton accepted ‘full responsibility’ of his own strategy call that ended a podium charge in Singapore.

The runaway championship leader was forced to watch the rest of the session from the side of the track.

As street circuit Baku looms ahead, the 2026 Formula 1 championship can be wrapped up in three races.

The lack of excitement surrounding F1’s 2027 line-ups coincides with teams finally reaping the rewards of their fine-tuned junior programmes.

Oscar Piastri has once again fallen narrowly short of his goal, while a Mercedes star took home the Sprint race overnight.

The Aussie has been a non factor in this year’s championship battle. And when you dig a little deeper the picture only gets worse.

Kimi Antonelli snatched his sixth pole of 2026 while Australia’s Oscar Piastri could only place himself in seventh for Sunday’s race.

The Aussie spent a chunk of the day watching the action from the pits as his team fixed an issue, but at least he didn’t crash like one rival did.
