The Race F1 Podcast · Belgian GP: Antonelli heaps more misery on struggling Russell · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

Am I not real?

All that stuff.

the world now we all feel it this obviously dominated post-qualifying where russell himself had been saying well they told me it was the brakes then we decided it was my driving i've been trying to adjust my driving now they tell me it's not my driving i don't think it's the power unit what's going on let's look into it then they decide yeah it's the power unit then it seems to be an aspect of the power unit that nobody understands and doesn't predict properly it's machine learning that's learning on the job and there are certain inputs that affect that

that they do know about then there are others that they can't measure properly that is causing obviously Russell grief because he's been kind of gaslit a bit by Mercedes in recent rounds where Total's been dismissing the engine straight line speed deficit as a thing and

and then has suddenly gone this weekend, oh, no, that is a thing, and we need to look at it.

But it doesn't account for the full difference.

This seems to be the thing.

Andrea Stella talked very eloquently about this both evenings, Saturday and Sunday.

And he was saying, well...

There are difficulties modelling what you expect is going to happen with these power units and their complexity.

But there are certain characteristics you know coming in that you can model, like where the compressions are in the track, how that will interact with the power unit.

They're consistent lap to lap.

We identified three things that are not consistent lap to lap or session to session.

Wind.

Track grip or tyre grip on that interaction.

And then what the driver inputs.

Yeah.

Because they can vary lap to lap, run to run.

Well, they must vary.

And they do vary.
