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

Yeah, there's a certain profile of corner speeds where it's not quite as high speed as Silverstone.

They obviously struggle with the...

They're very low speed, like Monaco.

The high speed, like super high speed, I know that's a bit of a misnomer in this era of Formula 1, but let's go with it.

But here, in the Sector 2 profile corners, which are between those two extremes, they're much happier.

Obviously, they had the new engine as well, more reliable, can be run a bit harder.

Yeah, and they're starting to get more of the tools in terms of – this is something that's been a bit vague, actually, in the explanation, but Stella has referred to it.

They've got better new simulation models or tools to prepare themselves to operate the power unit.

So obviously there's been some technology they've had to build up.

So I think they're getting there on that score, and that's just helping them start the weekend on a stronger foot, knowing what the power unit's going to do up to a point when there's still other elements that are obviously baffling everybody.

And Norris had one of those really clean weekends where everything just seemed to work for him.

Obviously, he didn't have any of the weird deployment stuff that Piastri had, so that helped him.

Had he not had the grid penalty, which obviously is a function of taking the engine because of the battery problems earlier in the season.

Yeah, and he needed to take one, but obviously having lost ones earlier in the season.

So he had to take the grid penalty.

They decided to take it here.

Had he started where he should have started without a penalty, Stella reckoned it should have been P2 that was possible because Verstappen, he felt, was an interloper in the front because he got towed to the front row of the grid by his teammate.

And in reality, the Red Bull pace was more like fifth or sixth.

So, yes, he thinks Norris would have had a really strong race.

Doesn't see how he would have beaten Antonelli.
