Special livery
Williams has also announced a “special design” for the home race in Spielberg. In this case, however, you have to look very closely, because most of the car remains unchanged:
Russell: Haven’t forgotten how to drive
Even though the results this year have not always been as desired, George Russell made it clear after his win yesterday that he has not forgotten how to drive – and also refers to his colleagues.
He names Charles Leclerc as an example, “who is one of the best qualifiers in the field,” but currently has big problems. And Lewis Hamilton also had difficulties in 2025 but is now back.
“We haven’t simply forgotten how to drive or need to relearn driving. It’s just about understanding and mastering the overall package,” explains Russell.
And he is currently going through such a phase.
Special helmet
Rookie Arvid Lindblad has presented a special helmet design for his first home race in Silverstone this weekend. Surely won’t be the only special helmet there …

Russell also wins in driver ratings
Our big final rating evaluation is now online as well. Just like in the real race, George Russell prevailed over Max Verstappen there too. However, there is a surprise on the “podium”.
You can find the complete evaluation here.

Williams: Everything was bad in Spielberg
The mood at Williams could be better after another zero score this weekend. As before in Barcelona, Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon were powerless.
“Hopefully that was the last of these really bad weekends where everything just went wrong,” says Sainz, explaining that everything was lacking everywhere.
“Ultimately, we lack reliability, we lack pace, and we don’t have a car with which we can score points. So we have to wait and see if the situation improves in Silverstone,” says Sainz.
There should at least be minor updates for the FW48 there. But Albon already makes it clear: “It won’t get us into the midfield, but maybe we’ll get closer to Haas with it.”
That would still be far from the points positions. Only after the summer break should it get significantly better with a B-version of the car.
More on the topic ADUO …
… we explain to you by the way in this video:
Hamilton wonders about ADUO
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton agree on the topic of ADUO. Because at Red Bull they believe they do not have the best engine. And the record world champion sees it that way too.
“Mercedes undoubtedly has the best power unit,” says Hamilton, “and I don’t know how the opposite result could come about with ADUO.”
“At the end of the straight, they have a lot of power. Much more than everyone else this weekend. I don’t know where that comes from,” Hamilton ponders.
“Is it because of the battery or because we have the smaller turbo? I’m not sure yet,” says the Brit. For ADUO, however, only the combustion engine plays a role.
