Gwen Lagrue joins Red Bull as junior programme directorGwen Lagrue will join Red Bull Racing as the junior driver chief starting in 2027. His appointment follows his departure from Mercedes, where he led their junior programme.Autosport+ 1 moreMon 27 Jul · 12:29 UTCRacing Bulls pair go viral on budget flightRacing Bulls teammates Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson gained attention after sharing a selfie on a budget EasyJet flight from Spa. Lindblad, a rookie driver, expressed his preference for regular flights due to financial reasons, stating he is happy to save money whenever possible. The duo's choice of travel stands out in a sport where many drivers typically fly privately or in business class. The flight experienced a two-hour delay, departing at midnight. Lindblad humorously recounted how he ended up sitting next to Lawson after switching seats with another passenger. Lawson confirmed that he also frequently travels in economy class, highlighting a more relatable side of their lives as professional drivers.grandprix.comSat 25 Jul · 12:25 UTCHamilton skips key FIA meeting over Spa penaltiesSeveral Formula 1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, missed an important FIA meeting in Hungary that addressed driving standards and stewarding decisions stemming from the recent Belgian Grand Prix. The meeting's significance increased following Hamilton's penalty for a collision with George Russell and the subsequent incident involving Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri, which drew criticism for the lack of punishment against Leclerc. Hamilton commented on the situation, expressing that he prefers to move forward rather than dwell on past incidents. He acknowledged the FIA's efforts to maintain consistency in their decisions, despite the challenges they face in achieving it. The absence of multiple drivers from the meeting highlights ongoing tensions regarding penalties and race conduct in the sport.grandprix.comSat 25 Jul · 12:23 UTC"You're not allowed to make a difference" – Verstappen says the fastest F1 drivers are penalisedMax Verstappen has voiced concerns about the current F1 regulations, suggesting that they penalise the fastest drivers and diminish their ability to showcase their talent. He highlighted that the gap between team-mates has narrowed due to these penalties, which affect how drivers manage their performance on the track. Oscar Piastri also criticized the 2026 power unit's self-learning algorithms, indicating that they complicate energy management for drivers. Verstappen believes that while casual fans may find the racing exciting, true racing enthusiasts recognize the shortcomings of the current system. He expressed frustration with how overtaking has changed, often relying on battery power rather than traditional racing skills, which he feels detracts from the essence of competitive racing.AutosportThu 23 Jul · 17:03 UTCMercedes Addresses Engine Issues Affecting George Russell's PerformanceGeorge Russell is optimistic after Mercedes identified a software issue with his power unit that impacted his recent races. The team aims to resolve these problems before the upcoming Italian Grand Prix.theguardian.comThu 23 Jul · 16:32 UTCRussell: Data shows software calibration behind recent F1 struggles, not driving styleGeorge Russell has pinpointed software calibration issues as the reason behind his recent performance struggles in Formula 1, rather than his driving style. After a disappointing race at Spa-Francorchamps, where he faced difficulties with battery deployment and finished significantly behind his teammate, Russell analyzed the data and concluded that the problems were linked to calibration rather than hardware faults. Russell expressed relief at discovering the root cause, stating that it allows him to focus on driving naturally rather than adjusting his technique. He believes that with the calibration issues addressed, he can perform better in upcoming races, emphasizing the importance of simplicity in driving for optimal performance.AutosportThu 23 Jul · 16:08 UTCMercedes identifies Russell's F1 power unit software issueMercedes has pinpointed a software issue in George Russell's power unit that impacted his performance during races from Silverstone to Spa. The team ruled out power loss and top speed deficits, instead finding that the software was deploying electrical energy too early, leading to an imbalance in energy distribution throughout the lap. The team has already made a correction at their Brixworth facility, but the true effectiveness of this fix will only be confirmed during the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The conditions at the Hungaroring and Zandvoort are not suitable for testing the fix, leaving Russell to focus on the race weekend without the pressure of performance concerns related to the software issue.AutosportThu 23 Jul · 15:08 UTCBelgian Grand Prix: Mercedes' dual sides, Ferrari'...The 2026 Belgian Grand Prix showcased Kimi Antonelli's dominance in the season, as he secured his sixth win and extended his championship lead to 45 points. Despite facing challenges earlier in the season, Antonelli's consistent performance has positioned him as a strong contender for the title, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc emerging as a notable competitor after a strong showing in the race. George Russell's race was marred by technical difficulties that hindered his performance and led to a collision with teammate Lewis Hamilton. The article also highlights concerns regarding the impact of the new engine regulations on the racing experience at traditional circuits, suggesting that the excitement of these venues has been diminished.espn.comThu 23 Jul · 13:47 UTC

Every position taken on track, from the timing feed. Pit stops and lapped traffic are excluded, and a place that changes hands more than once — a DRS train, say — counts each time. That makes this a larger number than a broadcast overtake count, which measures something narrower.

Stop is the car stationary in its box — the figure the sport quotes — and is recorded only from 2024, incompletely. Pit lane is entry to exit, runs from 2011, and depends on the circuit as much as the crew.
