OPENING EVENTS
George Russell held his position through the opening lap, with Oscar Piastri now the car behind him. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli has dropped one position and finds himself down in P17.
ON BRAND
Nico Hulkenberg passes his team logo located on the hospitality suite ahead of today’s race. He’ll start from P18, hoping to add to the seven points he has secured so far this year.
ISACK RISING
I photographed Isack Hadjar coming up the escalator from the Marriott Hotel this morning, and interestingly, security had no qualms about letting Isack through the same passageway that they stopped Kimi Antonelli from using two days ago.
A big call awaits!

WHO'S JACK?
He’s the guy in the white shirt who works with Max Verstappen. The pair have known each other for a decade, and Jack has a racing background in both karting and F4. He grew up in Hong Kong and can be found at most races alongside the four-time World Champion.
HE HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT
Kimi Antonelli has it all to do today, starting the Grand Prix outside the points. He comes into the race with an 81-point lead over teammate George Russell, who starts from pole.
NOT TAKING THE SCENIC ROUTE
Lewis Hamilton arrived this morning taking a more well-trodden route through the paddock than he often does, ahead of today’s race where he’ll start from P6.
CAN HE REPEAT HIS 2025 PERFORMANCE?
Last year, Carlos Sainz secured his first podium for Williams on a momentous day for the Spaniard. He has added one more podium since then. Could he recreate last year’s performance today?
A YOUNGER AND BETTER TOTO
Not my words, those are the words of Cadillac Team Principal Marcin Budkowski. The likeable Pole is loving life at his new team so far, and is roughly the same height as Mercedes’ Toto Wolff. Two fine fellows.
GEORGE PICKS BRISBANE FOR THE AFL GRAND FINAL
I asked Mercedes driver George Russell who he’d back in today’s AFL Grand Final in Melbourne, Fremantle or Brisbane, and he went with the Lions. I’m with him on that one!
HOW THEY LINE UP
When the lights go out later today, George Russell will lead the field away with Charles Leclerc alongside him.
Oof - that's a big penalty for Sainz!
