via PlanetF1Lewis Hamilton blames F1 power unit rules after Liam Lawson near-missLewis Hamilton has attributed his near-miss with Liam Lawson during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice session to the current Formula 1 power unit regulations rather than a mistake on his part.

Hamilton explained that the extreme closing speed between drivers on different energy deployment strategies contributed to the incident. He expressed hope that drivers and the FIA could discuss the issue in their upcoming briefing to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

via CrashLewis Hamilton blames F1 rules for Baku near-miss: ‘Not the drivers’ fault'Lewis Hamilton has attributed his near-miss with Liam Lawson during the second practice session at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to the new engine regulations introduced for the 2026 season. Hamilton was on an out-lap and harvesting energy when Lawson, on a hot lap, had to take evasive action to avoid a collision, leading to Lawson's furious reaction over team radio. Both drivers have been summoned by the stewards for an investigation into the incident. Hamilton explained that the current rules leave drivers with significantly reduced power during out-laps, which can create dangerous situations on track. He expressed his frustration with the lack of guidelines regarding closing speeds and suggested that discussions should take place among drivers to address these issues. Hamilton hopes that a solution can be found to prevent similar incidents in the future.

via the-race.comWinners and losers from Baku F1 practiceGeorge Russell topped the timesheets in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice sessions, showcasing Mercedes' strong early-2026 form. Despite the team's assertion that their performance gap was not fully representative, Russell's position is promising, especially with teammate Lewis Hamilton facing issues. Meanwhile, McLaren struggled with their new bodywork upgrade, finishing 6th and 8th, while Pierre Gasly's solid performance in 7th placed him as a contender in the midfield. Other teams faced challenges as well, with Audi and Williams finishing low in the standings despite bringing upgrades. Esteban Ocon had a decent outing in 10th, while Lewis Hamilton's practice was marred by a summons for impeding another driver. Sergio Perez's performance in 13th suggests potential for improvement, especially with the aid of a tow during his fastest lap.
