The Late Braking F1 Podcast · Malaysia is hosting the 2026 Bahrain GP?! Our reaction · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

Lewis Hamilton in 2021 can't remember what happened with that one and 2017 Sebastian Vettel when Ferrari pretended to be good for half a season yeah cool the problem is those three points advantages were 9 to Piastri 8 to Hamilton 14 to Vettel it's going to be it's a bigger job than that that these rivals have yeah it's a lot more to close down isn't it yeah

Do you think Antonelli might be vulnerable to either Ferrari driver, given, and these are just rumours at the moment, potential aero upgrades coming at Zandvoort, potential engine upgrade, the next one coming at Monza, if those two work out?

Yeah, 100%.

I think Hungary for Ferrari was sort of, I was going to say equal parts, it's not equal parts, but it was part encouraging and part frustrating.

So Fred Vasseur after the race was quite clear that everything went wrong and they made too many mistakes.

And he's absolutely right, because after being 1-2 earlier on in the weekend...

the fact they weren't on the podium was really disappointing.

There is at least some encouragement to it that if you are strong at Hungary, there are some tracks coming up that I think you can be strong at as well.

Certainly Zandvoort, but also Singapore.

Singapore is tough to judge, but in theory, maybe Singapore as well.

Madrid is an even bigger unknown, but based on what the track looks like, that could be quite beneficial to those with good cornering speeds.

Ferrari will need to improve, though.

And I mean the team, but I also mean the drivers, because whilst Hamilton's been pretty good this year and far better than last year, and Leclerc has been good in patches.

Driving well isn't going to get them a title here.

They're going to have to be brilliant to beat the combination of Antonelli and Mercedes.

And they cannot afford Leclerc being good for two races and then being off the pace for one.

And they can't afford Hamilton picking up needless penalties.

If that continues to happen, they could well finish second in the championship.

They aren't going to win it.

John Elkins fuming.
