Ferrari SHUT It Down! Hamilton, Honda, Russell Alarm | F1 News

Video summary

Ferrari just shut it down in the press room and Fred Vasseur is clearly fed up with the Lewis Hamilton race engineer questions. In today’s F1 news on F1 Grandstand, we break down what Vasseur said, why he avoided the real answer, and what it means for Hamilton’s 2026 Formula 1 season as Ferrari still have not confirmed the long term race engineer plan. Tony Craig has the latest Formula 1 News.🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Also on the show, Ferrari reportedly believe the FIA will clamp down on the Mercedes compression ratio interpretation before Melbourne. Will it actually happen, or is this another paddock rumour that collapses once the FIA meeting is done? Plus, Honda admit they are behind the curve with Aston Martin and we’ve got Koji Watanabe’s comments, Fernando Alonso backing Adrian Newey, and George Russell sounding the alarm about cars being forced into low gears in corners just to manage energy. Finally, Liam Lawson explains what really went wrong at Red Bull and why people misunderstand the challenge.
