The Late Braking F1 Podcast · Revisiting our 2027 F1 grid predictions: What's changed? · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

I think Verstappen is the only one.

Where I would maybe slightly update my prediction from April is that back then I said, I don't think Toto Wolff would sign Verstappen just based on his uncertainty about being in the sport long-term.

I've actually changed my mind on that.

I think if he was available, I think he would get this done.

And I know a Verstappen and Antonelli lineup would bring other questions.

I still reckon he would do it.

What's interesting is on the form, whilst the three of us are unanimous on this, it's very close.

So 49% of respondents said it would be like us, Antonelli and Russell.

41% saying Antonelli and Verstappen.

So those were the two very clear winners, but it was much closer on that poll than maybe what we've gone with in terms of our suggestions.

This one might be quite quick.

Ferrari.

So Lewis Hamilton believed to have a contract until 2027.

Charles Leclerc got a contract until 2082.

So of those two, 2029 I think is the actual answer on that.

So back in April, I predicted it would be unchanged, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.

I'm not changing that.

I still think it will be Leclerc and Hamilton.

You both said it would be Leclerc and Behrman.

Sam, any change to that?
