Lewis Hamilton cautious over Ferrari F1 update that felt "the same as before"
Lewis Hamilton says his new Ferrari rear suspension felt "the same as before" during the Formula 1 team's filming day, and expects it will take time to see significant benefits. As revealed by Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc used the team's second and final 200km filming day in Mugello to trial a new rear suspension geometry earlier this month. The new suspension should make the SF-25 less sensitive to ride height changes, opening up useful set-up options to improve the narrow operating window of the car and its Pirelli tyres, and if successful it should therefore make it easier for Ferrari to fully exploit its 2025 car's potential on different circuit types. In conjunction with the new suspension geometry, which features lower wishbones, the team also refreshed the various fairings and winglets to improve aerodynamic performance. "This revision of the rear suspension geometry triggered a re-optimisation of wishbone fairings as well as lower and upper winglet cascades, with the aim to maximise aerodynamic efficiency," Ferrari detailed in its FIA upgrade document that is distributed on Friday mornings. It also added a new rear wing flap option for lower downforce circuits like Spa. When asked about Ferrari's suspension upgrade, Hamilton played down any immediate impact and suspected it would take the Scuderia time to unlock the full range of benefits, as he felt no difference on the team's simulator yet. Asked how the suspension felt in Mugello, he replied: "The same as it did the weeks before. It was a photo shoot day, basically. So we did like 10 laps or whatever - 14 laps of filming. It was not a test. Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari "We'll get to test the suspension [on Friday], and I'm sure there's going to be learnings from it. We'll figure out how to fine-tune it and try to extract performance from it. On the simulator there's no difference, but I'm sure across different circuits, perhaps there'll be benefits. He added: "For me, the positive thing is arriving at the filming day where you see that new bits are coming. Because in general, we had an upgraded floor in Bahrain and then it was quite some time before we got another upgrade - I think it was Austria. And pace-wise it wasn't necessarily what I thought we would have. "I was just really happy to see that there clearly is a big push back at the factory. There are a lot of changes, and then to see the results of those changes takes time. So I was just really grateful to see that we got new parts. We'll try and put them to use this weekend."

"Very, very difficult. We don't have a lot of time, so you need to double up," the seven-time world champion added. "You need to make sure you get as much information from both cars. "In terms of fine-tuning the car, it's highly unlikely we're going to fully optimise it during this weekend. It'll probably be something we're optimising over the next few weekends."

Hyundai Builds N Charging Station At Nürburgring To Support Performance EVs
Hyundai Builds N Charging Station At Nürburgring To Support Performance EVs originally appeared on Autoblog. Hyundai's high-performance N division is going all-in on electric speed, and now it has the hardware to match. Fresh off a successful Ioniq 6 N debut at Goodwood, the company has confirmed it will open a new N-branded fast-charging station right at the Nürburgring — one of the most fearsome test tracks on Earth and the spiritual home of the N not just for PR, either. The facility is open to the public, supports rapid charging for any compatible EV, and further signals Hyundai's long-term belief that performance driving and electrification can go hand-in-hand — even in the Green Concept To Charging Cables The Nürburgring station is Hyundai's second N Charging Station globally, following the first one launched last year in Australia. Positioned beside the Nordschleife circuit entrance, the new unit will deliver 150 kW fast charging, allowing drivers to juice up quickly between laps — whether they drive a Hyundai or part of Hyundai's broader transformation into a mainstream EV powerhouse, a journey that's been years in the making. Over the last 50 years, the company has evolved from humble beginnings with the Hyundai Excel to premium offerings like the G90 and radical design shifts that redefined its lineup entirely. What was once a budget badge is now a legitimate force in both electrification and performance . Heritage Meets High Voltage There's symbolism here too. Nürburgring isn't just any track — it's where the N philosophy was born. Hyundai N cars are developed, tortured, and refined on this 13-mile stretch of twisting asphalt. That's why it matters that this is more than just a marketing stunt. With the Ioniq 5 N and now the Ioniq 6 N entering production, Hyundai's electrified N cars aren't concept dreams. They're production comes at a pivotal time. Q2 profits were slightly down, with the company's operating margin slipping nearly 16% amid rising global tariffs. But thanks to surging U.S. sales and record hybrid demand, Hyundai still pulled in roughly $35.3 billion in quarterly revenue, managing to beat analyst expectations by a whisker. Performance For Everyone The N Charging Station is also a nod to Hyundai's inclusive approach. Unlike some brands fencing off their fast chargers for proprietary use, Hyundai is embracing open access. Whether you're lapping the Ring in an Ioniq or daily-driving a rival EV, if your car supports fast charging, you're another reminder that while other automakers chase exclusivity, Hyundai's betting on accessibility, affordability, and performance. Much like its strategy in the U.S. — where the brand sells more cars than ever without even fielding a full EV lineup — the Korean giant continues to prove you don't need to be the flashiest brand in the room to make a lasting impact. Looking Back, Driving Forward This moment is the latest step in a long line of efforts by Hyundai to embed itself into performance culture. Long before the Ioniqs, long before 'N' meant Nürburgring, Hyundai's earlier models helped define its global rise. From unsung 1980s sedans to quirky niche crossovers, the brand has always punched above its weight, often in overlooked with the Nürburgring charger live and its electric N cars in showrooms, Hyundai has tied past and future together with a charging cable.

Red Bull sacrifices Max Verstappen's top-speed advantage for wet F1 Belgian GP
Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Laurent Mekies says his squad has "significantly" increased its downforce levels to be more competitive if Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix turns out wet. Red Bull took a sprint race win with Max Verstappen in the dry on Saturday, as a low-downforce set-up allowed the world champion to pass polesitter Oscar Piastri on the Kemmel Straight and then made it impossible for the McLaren driver to reclaim the position. The decision for a lower-wing setting was felt to be the best compromise for Spa-Francorchamps and its variety of corners and straights, with a higher-downforce setting costing it too much time on the straights. But, with the threat of rain a realistic prospect for Sunday, the Milton Keynes-based squad opted to pile on the downforce for qualifying, which meant Verstappen lost his straightline speed advantage. While Verstappen enjoyed a 4kph top speed advantage in sprint qualifying, telemetry now shows that he and the McLarens reached similar top speeds in qualifying for the actual grand prix as the reigning world champion qualified fourth, three tenths behind polesitter Lando Norris. That compromise will make it hard for Verstappen to repeat his sprint race heroics, too, but if rain does persist it will be worth it. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, Laurent Mekies, Red Bull Racing Team Principal "Tomorrow, obviously, everything is a big reset and we'll see what the weather is like," Mekies told F1TV. "I don't think we are begging for [rain], but we've made quite a few choices on the car thinking that tomorrow we'll get a bit less grip compared to now. Obviously, we have increased our downforce significantly. "In that context, I think the rain is probably the best chance we have to reduce further the gap to McLaren. "But, if it's dry, we will take that as well, it will still be a big tyre management game, even in the dry." As track temperatures ramped up in Q3, few drivers were able to improve on their Q2 times, and Verstappen also noted a loss of grip before sliding out of La Source on his final lap, a slip-up that allowed Leclerc to pip him for third on the grid by 0.003s. "The Q3 laps certainly felt a little bit more difficult to extract everything from the car, the balance a bit less together," Mekies explained. Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing "There were some serious improvements corner to corner, but I think the gap to McLaren is probably fair. "Obviously, a bit frustrating to be beaten by Charles for a few thousands, but it's part of the game. "Overall, the gap is what it is; two to three tenths to McLaren. I think it's reflecting the reality and we'll fight from there tomorrow." Read Also: Lewis Hamilton issues apology to Ferrari after "unacceptable" Q1 exit Team advisor Helmut Marko wasn't overly bothered by Verstappen's fourth grid slot either, hoping the four-time world champion's prowess in the rain will make it irrelevant. "Max didn't have grip in either of his runs; maybe the tyre pressure wasn't quite right - he had a real slide in Turn 1, and again in Turn 5, so we could've been closer," the Austrian told ORF. "But we're expecting rain tomorrow, so it's not a disappointment. We're focused on the race and there we're optimistic. I don't see a big issue [with being beaten by Leclerc]."
