Video summary

F1 News today as Ferrari launch a thorough investigation into the brake failure that ended Lewis Hamilton’s Spanish Grand Prix after just a handful of laps.

Now the team wants answers. Plus, Honda make a major leadership change to their Formula 1 power-unit project as rumours continue around Aston Martin and Mercedes, McLaren refuse to blame race control for Lando Norris losing the Spanish GP, and Toto Wolff’s view of Hamilton’s 2026 title threat comes back into focus after Madrid. 👉 Subscribe to F1 Grandstand: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 FERRARI LAUNCH FULL INVESTIGATION Lewis Hamilton’s Madrid race ended with a sudden brake problem. Hamilton said the car initially began slowing normally into Turn 5 before the pedal changed and the Ferrari stopped decelerating as expected. The brakes briefly returned before the pedal later went long, forcing him to retire. Ferrari are now carrying out a thorough investigation into exactly what happened. With the SF-26 showing enough pace for Hamilton to briefly hold provisional pole in Q3, how costly was another reliability failure? 🟢 HONDA MAKE HUGE F1 LEADERSHIP CHANGE Honda have confirmed a change at the top of their F1 power-unit programme. Yoichiro Fukao will replace Tetsushi Kakuda as project leader from October 1. Honda call it a planned transition designed to accelerate development and prepare for 2027. But the timing is fascinating. Aston Martin’s difficult first season with Honda has already fuelled reports of possible future Mercedes discussions. F1Oversteer reports those rumours caused concern inside Honda. Is Honda simply executing its plan — or is pressure around Aston Martin growing? 🟠 McLAREN REFUSE TO BLAME RACE CONTROL Lando Norris looked on course to win in Madrid before the Virtual Safety Car transformed the race. Norris had already passed the pit entrance when the VSC was deployed, allowing Antonelli and Verstappen to stop cheaply. McLaren boss Andrea Stella says race control followed the current rules and should NOT be blamed. Instead, he believes F1 may need a wider discussion about whether the VSC regulations can be made fairer. Does the rule need changing? ⭐ TOTO CHANGES HIS HAMILTON VIEW?! Earlier this season Toto Wolff called Hamilton “absolutely” a 2026 title threat after his Ferrari victory in Barcelona. Madrid changed the championship picture dramatically. Hamilton retired, Antonelli won again and the gap between them has grown to 101 points. Hamilton himself now says there is “no stopping” Antonelli and Mercedes this year. Was Wolff’s warning about his former driver finally proved wrong? 👇 JOIN THE DEBATE What caused Hamilton’s brake failure? Should Ferrari be worried about reliability? Are Honda under pressure from Aston Martin? Should F1 change the VSC rules? And is Hamilton’s 2026 title challenge officially finished? 00:00 🚨 F1 NEWS — FERRARI WANT ANSWERS! 01:30 🔴 HAMILTON BRAKE FAILURE — FERRARI LAUNCH FULL INVESTIGATION 05:46 🟢 HONDA SHAKE-UP — DID STROLL FORCE THEM TO ACT?! 25:40 🟠 NORRIS VSC FALLOUT — McLAREN REFUSE TO BLAME RACE CONTROL 38:55 ⭐ TOTO CHANGES TUNE — HAMILTON TITLE THREAT OVER?! 👍 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.
