Russell and Hamilton concede F1 2026 title chances as Antonelli dominates

Strange things can happen in Formula 1. Just ask Max Verstappen, who couldn't believe his luck when McLaren handed him a way into the 2025 title fight on a silver platter. Although he eventually missed out by two points to Lando Norris, he was essentially battling with one hand behind his back in an inferior car. But this year's fight has a distinctly different feel to it. Dominant ... Keep reading
