Plus, Red Bull are waiting on a crucial FIA decision that could hand Max Verstappenโs team a vital F1 2026 engine development lifeline, before Verstappen takes on one of the craziest challenges of his career โ racing 100 drivers at Silverstone! ๐ Subscribe to F1 Grandstand: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Welcome to F1 Grandstand with Tony Craig, bringing you daily F1 News, Formula 1 News, F1 Live, F1 2026 updates, Ferrari news, Red Bull news, F1 rumours and Formula 1 debate. ๐ด HAMILTON BENDS THE KNEE โ BUT WHY? Lewis Hamilton says his frustrated Dutch GP radio and TV comments weren't the "best version" of himself and that he'll do better. But Hamilton never actually used the words "I'm sorry". Was this a genuine apology? A carefully worded Ferrari PR exercise? Or was Hamilton simply taking responsibility for HOW he expressed his frustration rather than what he actually said? ๐ HAMILTON vs LECLERC โ ONE RULE FOR EACH? Then comes the comparison Ferrari may find harder to explain. We revisit Charles Leclerc's furious 2024 Las Vegas GP radio exchange and ask why Hamilton has now felt the need to make a public statement when Leclerc didn't. Is Ferrari managing its two superstar drivers differently? ๐ RED BULL'S 2% FIA GAMBLE Red Bull Ford Powertrains were judged the benchmark combustion engine during the first FIA ADU assessment โ leaving them without an additional development opportunity. Now everything could depend on the second assessment. If Red Bull fall far enough behind the benchmark, could they finally receive the development opportunity they believe they need โ and what could it mean for Max Verstappen? ๐๏ธ MAX VERSTAPPEN vs 100 DRIVERS! Max Verstappen will start LAST in a 101-kart field at Silverstone and attempt to overtake all 100 drivers ahead of him. Can one of Formula 1's greatest talents actually pull it off? And there's another important question... why wasn't Tony invited?! ๐ JOIN THE F1 DEBATE Should Hamilton have apologised? Are Ferrari treating Hamilton and Leclerc differently?
