Could this transform Ferrari’s F1 2026 title fight? 👉 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Welcome to F1 Grandstand with Tony Craig for daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 2026 updates, Ferrari news, Lewis Hamilton news, Red Bull news and the biggest Formula 1 stories. 🔴 FERRARI GREEN-LIGHT MONZA UPGRADE Ferrari’s second ADUO engine upgrade has cleared reliability testing and is heading to Monza. The expected gain is around 15hp, alongside low-drag aerodynamic changes. With Kimi Antonelli facing a grid penalty, could this be Hamilton and Leclerc’s biggest opportunity yet? 👀 HAMILTON ISN’T FERRARI’S NEW SCHUMACHER? Riccardo Ceccarelli, Charles Leclerc’s long-time mental coach, has compared Ferrari’s team-order situation with the Michael Schumacher era. The point is not Hamilton’s ability — Ferrari no longer has an undisputed number one, while Fred Vasseur prefers to mediate rather than rule with the authority Ferrari had under Jean Todt. Is that costing Hamilton a title shot? 🚨 ASTON MARTIN SOUND OUT HONDA ALTERNATIVES Lawrence Stroll has reportedly explored future engine options with BOTH Mercedes and Red Bull-Ford as Aston Martin prepares a Plan B if Honda fails to make enough progress. There is no decision to leave Honda and any potential switch is being discussed for 2028 — so why is Stroll already looking elsewhere? 🐂 LAWSON TO STAY AT RED BULL? Isack Hadjar’s wrist remains the key question ahead of Monza. One reported contingency could see Hadjar try practice before Red Bull seeks FIA approval to put Liam Lawson back in if Hadjar cannot continue. Could Lawson get another weekend alongside Max Verstappen? 🟠 STEINER’S PIASTRI THEORY Guenther Steiner believes one major change may help explain Oscar Piastri’s difficult 2026 form: Mark Webber is spending less time with him in the paddock. But Andrea Stella says Piastri’s deficit is technical, not psychological. So what is REALLY happening to Oscar? 🔵 VOWLES ADMITS WILLIAMS CULPABILITY James Vowles says Sainz and Albon had responsibility for avoiding their Zandvoort collision — but admits Williams put them in that position by leaving Sainz out on worn tyres. 👇 JOIN THE DEBATE Is Ferrari’s upgrade enough? Should Hamilton become number one? Will Aston Martin abandon Honda? Should Lawson stay at Red Bull? What has happened to Piastri? 👍 SMASH LIKE if you enjoyed tonight’s show and SUBSCRIBE for daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 Live and F1 2026 coverage. 🏁 Come for the vibe.
