🚨 | Santi called Hamilton in for intermediates earlier than radio clips suggest due to a 5–6 second broadcast delay. Lewis had time to pit.
However, four laps earlier, he’d been told the rain would remain steady. More information during the pit call could have eased his doubts. Still, staying out was a mistake.

🚨 | Claims that Ferrari should stop developing its current car to focus on 2027 overlook the importance of testing future-oriented upgrades on track, especially in the first year of new regulations.
While other teams have struggled with updates this year, Ferrari has done the best development work among the top teams, with every upgrade working well.

🚨 | Ferrari’s radio communication raised concerns in Brazil after Hamilton missed a pit stop and Leclerc questioned a call for fresh soft tyres.
Ferrari correctly predicted heavier rain but gave Hamilton no further weather update before calling him in. Leclerc’s decision to stay out was later supported by the team.

🚨 | Ferrari replaced Hamilton’s entire power unit after an FP3 issue involving hybrid-system temperatures. The ICE itself was not damaged, and the issue was not directly linked to the new engine.
With a back-of-grid start already inevitable, Ferrari fitted a sixth ICE, fifth turbo, fourth battery, control electronics unit and MGU-K, among other components.
Some were replaced as a precaution to reduce the risk of further failures and penalties in the final races.

🚨 | Toto Wolff on potentially using team orders to help George Russell finish P2 in the championship:
“I haven't thought about the Drivers' Championship yet.”
“But clearly, we absolutely want him to score the maximum [points] and hopefully finish second.”
“We need to think about what we're going to do about it, but it could be a possibility that we're giving it all the force.”
🚨 | Official: The FIA has released the results of the third ADUO analysis period, covering races 12–18.
Although the performance gaps between internal combustion engines changed, no additional homologations were granted to any power unit manufacturer.
Lewis Hamilton has reportedly arrived in Egypt ahead of a planned visit to Rafah and aid facilities supporting Gaza.
He is expected to visit logistics and storage sites to see how humanitarian supplies are prepared for delivery.
🚨 | Ferrari’s SF-26 struggled with drag, power and tyre management in the wet at Interlagos.
Active aerodynamics were locked in maximum-downforce mode for all teams, keeping the Macarena wing closed.
Ferrari’s lower aerodynamic efficiency and available power added to its disadvantage, potentially offsetting gains made in corners.

🚨 | Ferrari may have used unusually high intermediate tyre pressures on Hamilton’s car to generate grip quickly.
The gamble helped him gain 11 places on the opening lap, but the tyres soon overheated and degraded, costing him those gains as the track dried more slowly than expected.

🚨 | FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem plans to abolish the 75-year age limit for office holders, with a vote scheduled for next month’s General Assembly.
The proposal follows the removal of leadership term limits six months ago. Critics argue the changes could allow him to remain president for life.
