You won't believe how much Lewis Hamilton was over the pit lane speed limit. Was this the harshest penalty of the 2026 Formula 1 season so far?

🏆 5 wins in a row for Kimi Antonelli. 68 point lead. In full control of this championship now

George Russell will be out of the points here. 68 point gap to Antonelli if the Italian wins. That’s going to be hard to turn around

Charles Leclerc may actually be the most unluckiest driver on the F1 grid. Closing in on 2nd - safety car - Hamilton loses his 5 second penalty.
Then Stroll crashes because of the broke up track - no red flag - then Leclerc crashes & that’s the one that that prompts the check💀

Red Flag on Lap 68. Likely due to the tarmac on the final corner. Leclerc’s car has been cleared

Charles Leclerc is OUT from P3. Devastated for him

Bernie Collins is absolutely brilliant at what she does. She’s been fantastic at explaining every detail throughout this race👏

This has worked out beautifully for Hamilton. That should cement P2 for him

There has to be something wrong with the pit lane sensor. I’ve never seen this amount of speeding in the pit lane.
Just scrap them all!

That Mercedes powerunit may be the best, but it is definitely not bulletproof. Someone seems to have an issue with it every weekend
