Kimi Antonelli

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.

A record-breaking weekend for Formula 1 ended in crushing disappointment as the British Grand Prix finished behind a safety car.

Lewis Hamilton continued his long love affair with Silverstone as McLaren lagged behind.

The four-time champion’s representatives met with McLaren before the race in Austria, adding more fuel to the fire.

As Kimi Antonelli races away with the F1 championship, his teammate is falling behind with paddock figures sending their warnings.

They’ve dominated the start of the F1 season, but Mercedes has been given allowance to ‘catch up’ to its rivals.
