Following his victory last week at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Piastri is only three points behind Norris.

Apple released a haptic trailer for F1, and it's unbelievable
Imagine feeling the action of a Formula One race in the palm of your hand. Apple did just that with an exclusive haptic trailer for F1, the upcoming sports drama premiering at the end of the month. What is a haptic trailer? The trailer puts fans in the driver's seat with Sonny Hayes, played by Brad Pitt. While watching the F1 trailer on an iPhone, the phone will vibrate in sync with the video. For example, Sonny speeds down a straightaway during the trailer. The haptic vibrations will increase to represent the engine's power and speed. Recommended Videos According to Apple, each haptic sequence aligns with the beats and rhythm of the film. This leads to an immersive and unique experience for the viewer. The F1 haptic trailer is available in the Apple TV app and in the App store. All iPhone users need is iOS 18.4 or later. There is nothing additional to download or activate. Sonny Hayes (Pitt) is a once-promising driver in the 1990s whose career nearly came to an end after a tragic accident. Sonny was once dubbed 'the greatest that never was' because of his potential. In the present day, Sonny still races cars, but his F1 dreams have all but disappeared. Sonny's former teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), offers him the deal of a lifetime. Ruben wants Sonny to come out of retirement and race for his team, Apex Grand Prix (APXGP). Ruben needs a veteran to pair with his hotshot rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Despite having no interest in being a mentor, Sonny reluctantly agrees and returns behind the wheel for one last shot at redemption. Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia also star. Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski directs F1 from a screenplay written by Ehren Kruger, based on a story the two cowrote. F1 races into theaters and IMAX on June 27.

Lewis Hamilton Calls Out F1 for Replacing Classic Circuits with 'Worse' New Ones
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has called out the sport for replacing "classic" F1 circuits with new ones, "90 percent" of which are "worse." New venues are being added to the calendar to meet the increasing demand for F1. However, with 24 races being the operational ceiling for the sport at present, old circuits will have to be dropped to make way for new ones. While a rotational system for several European circuits has been planned to ensure they remain a part of F1, classic circuits, such as Imola, have been dropped from the 2026 F1 calendar to make way for a Grand Prix in Madrid. In addition, Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya's contract expires after the race next year, raising questions about its long-term future in the sport. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari answers questions in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on June 1, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari answers questions in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on June 1, 2025 in Barcelona, admitted that losing the Barcelona circuit would be a shame. He said: "I think ultimately losing any of the classics, and this is one of the classics, I think would be a shame, because as I said, it's a great city. "There's a great following here in Spain, particularly since Fernando [Alonso] was here. As long as we have a race in Spain, that's what matters most. "This feels like the home of Formula 1 in Spain. But it's okay to progress as a sport, and I know Madrid, as I said, is a great location." The 44-year-old driver revealed his preference for older circuits, which are better to race on than most new ones that don't meet his expectations. He added: "As long as they build a good circuit, which I'm less hopeful for - building new circuits is very, very hit and miss. 90 plus per cent of the time, it's worse. "As long as it's a better circuit, or as good a circuit, I'm not bothered either way." The dropping of Italy's Imola circuit from the calendar raised eyebrows, particularly since the circuit had allocated funds for the 2026 round, as reported by Newsweek Sports. However, Imola Mayor Marco Panieri has confirmed that efforts will be made to regain its lost spot in F1. He said: "This is not the time for controversy, buck-passing and resignation. Now is the time for everyone to take responsibility and resume discussions for a return to the calendar. This is why in recent days, since May 26, we have asked the Government and the sports authority for an Institutional Round Table to precisely examine the terms and methods of support and joint work to bring the Formula 1 Grand Prix back to Imola. "To those who live and love Imola, Emilia-Romagna and this Grand Prix, we say that in a moment in which it would be easy to give in to useless polemics and disappointment, it is instead the time for tenacity and increasingly constructive commitment from everyone. The game does not end here and up until now we have done things that only a few years ago seemed impossible. "We continue to believe in it, with conviction and clarity, with the pride of a territory that, together with other institutional partners, has demonstrated its ability to dream big and concretely build opportunities."

Ford Sets Bold Condition to Stay in Formula One Amid V8 Talks
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ford Performance has laid out a bold condition to remain in Formula One as it partners with Red Bull Powertrains for the new era of regulations beginning in 2026. Next year marks a big reset in F1, as new cars powered by an equal ratio of electric power and internal combustion on sustainable fuels will zip through Grand Prix circuits. Given Ford's expertise in the electrification department, its partnership with Red Bull is a result of the new regulations. Though the plans for 2026 are on course, and as teams develop their challengers in full swing, discussions about the return of cars powered by V8 engines running on sustainable fuels have led many to question whether F1 cars will rely on electric power in the distant future.

Charles Leclerc of Monaco driving the (16) Scuderia Ferrari SF-25 and Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the (1) Oracle Red Bull Racing RB21 battle for track position during the F1 Grand Prix of Spain at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on June 01, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. MoreWhile the developmental path ahead seems unclear at this stage, Ford has made it clear that it will stay in the sport as long as the cars remain electrified. Ford Performance global director Mark Rushbrook said: "For Ford Motor Company, we believe there should be some form of electrification in there. "That's part of what attracted us to the 2026 rules. It's all about that balance between the ICE and electrification. Does it need to be 50-50? No, not necessarily. "As long as we have the opportunity to contribute, to learn and to bring knowledge to our road cars, then that's ideally what we're looking for." Rushbrook confirmed that the American brand was committed to the future of the sport. He added: "That is definitely our intent. We're committed to working with all the other stakeholders for what is the right thing for the future of this sport. "Is it going to be exactly what any single manufacturer wants? No. But that's part of the process, because at the end of the day, if that discussion is exactly what we want and every other manufacturer leaves, then it's not a healthy sport either. "We know that and the other manufacturers know that as well. So you've got to work together for the good of the sport, the health of the sport and that basically means being partners off the track. "You want to race each other fiercely on the track, but you need to work together off the track." 2026 marks the first year when Red Bull will roll out its own F1 engines in collaboration with Ford, after ending a successful partnership with Honda. The Japanese automaker joined hands with Aston Martin to develop power units for cars of the new era.
