via f1oversteer.comFerrari fear ‘complex’ Baku issue could add to Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s woesFerrari is apprehensive about the upcoming 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, particularly regarding potential tyre graining issues that could affect both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Despite having a strong qualifying record in Baku, the team has never secured a victory at this circuit, and they are aware that finding the right car setup will be crucial for success. The team is also concerned about the grip levels on Baku's city streets, which are rated low by Pirelli. With the softest tyre compounds being used for the race, Ferrari understands that managing tyre performance will be essential. Previous races have shown that any issues with tyre graining could further complicate their chances, especially given their struggles with straight-line speed compared to competitors like Mercedes.

via f1oversteer.comJolyon Palmer has worked out just how many points Lewis Hamilton has lost at Ferrari this yearLewis Hamilton is currently 101 points behind Kimi Antonelli in the Drivers' Championship, with Jolyon Palmer attributing part of this deficit to Ferrari's strategic decisions. Despite outscoring teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton's hopes for an eighth World Championship in 2026 appear slim due to Ferrari's lack of pace and ineffective race strategies. Palmer analysed Hamilton's performance and suggested that with five optimal race weekends, Hamilton could have gained an additional 39 points, reducing his gap to 62 points behind Antonelli. The ongoing tension between Hamilton and Leclerc, coupled with Vasseur's reluctance to implement team orders, complicates Ferrari's internal dynamics as they navigate their championship aspirations.

via gpfans.comFIA penalty points: Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli update ahead of Azerbaijan Grand PrixAs the Azerbaijan Grand Prix approaches, both Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton have only one penalty point each, following recent expirations of their previous points. Antonelli's points were reduced after incidents at the Dutch and Monza Grands Prix, while Hamilton lost points for failing to slow under double yellow flags at the Dutch Grand Prix last year.

The FIA has been more lenient this season, with many drivers seeing their penalty points expire, which is crucial as exceeding 12 points results in a one-race ban.

via f1oversteer.comLewis Hamilton is realising his ‘dream’ move to Ferrari has turned into a Catch 22 situationLewis Hamilton's transition to Ferrari, which he viewed as a dream move, has become complicated as he grapples with the team's struggles. After leaving Mercedes at the start of the 2025 season, Hamilton initially showed promise with podium finishes and a race win, but subsequent strategic errors from Ferrari have led to frustration. Hamilton's desire to implement changes within Ferrari has met resistance from fans who believe he must first prove himself with consistent success.

via f1oversteer.comLewis Hamilton’s former Mercedes engineer always knew he would be back to ‘200%’ in a ‘winning’ carLewis Hamilton has demonstrated significant improvement in the 2026 Formula 1 season, achieving 191 points with 10 races remaining, surpassing his total from the previous year. He has won a race and secured five podium finishes, marking a notable turnaround after a challenging 2025 season without a top-three finish. This progress is attributed to both Hamilton's driving style aligning better with the new cars and Ferrari's advancements with the SF-26. Former Mercedes engineer Philipp Brandle noted that Hamilton tends to perform at his best when he has a competitive car, suggesting that his motivation has increased this year. Despite Hamilton's insistence that he always gives 100%, his performance at Ferrari indicates that he may unlock greater potential when contending for victories. With Ferrari positioned as serious challengers this season, Hamilton's commitment and performance could further elevate if the team provides a title-contending car in the future.

via RacingNews365Verstappen crashes after life-threatening blowout as Hamilton suffers 'magic button' mishapDuring the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Max Verstappen experienced a life-threatening crash when his left-rear tyre exploded at high speed, leading to a collision with the wall. This incident occurred on lap 46, and Verstappen reported feeling no prior warning before the blowout. Pirelli later investigated and found no manufacturing defects in the tyres, attributing the failure to the specific running conditions on the track. Simultaneously, Lewis Hamilton faced his own challenges when a switch on his steering wheel caused him to lose control at Turn 1 during the race restart. This mishap resulted in both championship contenders failing to score points, leaving the title fight unchanged but highlighting the precarious nature of their competition. Following the race, Mercedes made adjustments to their steering wheel design to avoid similar issues in the future.
