AUSTIN SHOCK: KIMI ANTONELLI’S COOLING VEST FAILS MID-SESSION IN SWELTERING HEAT
Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli reveals a cooling vest malfunction caused him to overheat during US GP Sprint Qualifying. The failure caused the vest to warm him instead of cooling him down on a hot Texas day.
During sprint qualifying for the US Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli overheated due to an uncommon cooling vest malfunction.
At the Circuit of the Americas, Antonelli had a challenging sprint qualifying session and did not go past SQ2.
Mercedes did not seem to have the same speed as McLaren or Red Bull, in contrast to Singapore.
Antonelli was eliminated early and was scheduled to start the sprint race from 11th on the grid, while teammate George Russell advanced into SQ3.
Antonelli revealed after the session that he was overheated during sprint qualifying due to a new cooling vest.
The FIA designated this weekend to be a "heat danger" before Friday's action.
Drivers were therefore given the choice to wear a specially made cooling vest, which will be required starting in the upcoming season.
"I had a few physical concerns, so I battled in the automobile," Antonelli stated. To be honest, though, the car felt terrific, and I had faith in the SQ2.
"I had a lot of trouble in the session because I was wearing the cooling vest, and we had a malfunction, so instead of chilling, it warmed me up."
Antonelli's pain was not the only factor in his subpar sprint qualifying performance.
Throughout the practice, the 19-year-old also had trouble with frequent brake lockup.
Antonelli continued, "I just need to figure out why I suffered so much with locking."
"SQ1 felt good, so it is clearly incredibly frustrating. However, I just had trouble locking. I lost a significant amount of time due to two large lock-ups on the lap.
"We will now concentrate on Saturday, but I am sad because I had the pace to be in SQ3."
Hulkenberg is described by Russell as "a great surprise".
Russell will start the sprint race on Saturday in fifth place.
Nico Hulkenberg of Sauber, Friday's most notable qualifier, defeated him.
Russell said that the team's sprint qualifying day "was not a nice day".
"Nico [Hulkenberg] finished P4 after an incredible lap. Russell clarified, "I believe that was a great surprise, so congrats to him."
However, as we have sort of been saying all year, we are P5 on terrible days and in the battle on good ones, and today was not one of those days. We recently received P5. Sprint races can be challenging at times. We might have a better race car than our qualification car, in my opinion.
We are having a lot of trouble at high speeds, but I believe that the car could be a little faster if you drive a little more slowly during the race, and the speed is not as low to the ground.
However, I believe that we are currently in the midst of the battle for P4.
LANDO NORRIS SINGLE: F1 CHAMPION CONFIRMS SPLIT FROM MAGUI CORCEIRO IN LEAKED VIDEO
F1 heartbreak: Analyse Lando Norris's split from Magui Corceiro, the "single man" leak, and their on-off relationship history.
Looks like Formula One world champion Lando Norris and his supermodel girlfriend, Magui Corceiro, have split up. The two started dating in 2023 and had a pretty on-and-off thing. She was right there with him when he won the title in Abu Dhabi – definitely an emotional night for both of them.
But now, it seems like it’s over. According to the Sun, a TikTok video caught Norris telling Carlos Sainz Jr that he’s “a single man". The audio’s not great, but you can hear Sainz asking if he and Magui are okay, and Lando just says, “No,” then adds that he’s single. This happened during pre-season testing in Bahrain while the drivers were getting their photos taken.
Magui, who’s also an actress from Portugal, used to date footballer Joao Felix before Lando. She and Norris broke up in 2024 and got back together, but it looks like they’ve called it quits again. People close to them say there’ve been signs for a while; things changed after Lando’s big championship win. The most obvious clue? Magui wasn’t at Lando’s big thank-you party in Bahrain, even though everyone else was there. Naturally, that got people talking.
Back in December, Magui broke down in tears after Norris won the world championship. She gave an interview to TV Guia, saying how happy they both were and how, in that moment, she forgot about the cameras. It all seemed pretty solid then.
Magui’s got a huge social following – around 800,000 fans on TikTok – and she’s done everything from acting in Portuguese dramas to modelling for brands like Intimissimi and Alo Yoga. She was even on Portugal’s Dancing with the Stars in 2020 and co-founded the eco swimwear brand Missus. She’s graced Vogue Portugal, too.
Norris himself talked about Magui in Vogue, saying they met a few years ago but only got together more recently. He called her “down to earth” and said he can just be himself around her. Apparently, he kept trying to get her into golf, but she hated it.
Neither of them has officially announced the breakup, but at this point, it looks like they’ve gone their separate ways.
DISASTER WARNING: OSCAR PIASTRI FEARS 2026 RACE STARTS COULD LEAD TO MULTI-CAR GRID ACCIDENTS
Oscar Piastri warns of chaos at the 2026 start! Discover why the new rules are a "recipe for disaster" and how McLaren found "warp speed."
Oscar Piastri thinks there’s a lot of luck involved in getting a good start these days. Pre-season testing in Bahrain really made it clear that these new 2026 F1 rules have turned race starts into a much bigger headache.
He’s spoken up about this before, especially since so many teams and drivers are running into fresh problems under the new regs. The big one? F1 dropped the MGU-H from the engine formula, and suddenly, starts just aren’t as smooth. It’s a mess.
After last week’s first official test in Bahrain, Piastri didn’t sugarcoat it. He called the 2026 start a “recipe for disaster” because of how wildly different every driver’s launch is. Even the FIA and F1 noticed, so they decided to test out a longer starting procedure during the second test.
Here’s what they did: during the second test, they delayed the starting lights, giving drivers more time to spool up their turbos. Ferrari’s 2026 engine features a smaller turbo, allowing its drivers to maintain lower revs for longer periods. Others? They’re sitting there for up to ten seconds, just waiting.
Piastri says the new procedures and the extra week of testing in Bahrain helped a bit; things aren’t quite as all over the place now. But he’s honest: there’s still a ton of luck involved if you want to get a clean launch and avoid turbo lag or wheelspin.
Holding high revs to prime the turbo, now that the MGU-H is gone, is just one of the traps drivers can fall into. Piastri figures it’s going to take a while before all 22 drivers on the grid are nailing their starts every time.
He summed it up at the press conference in Bahrain: “Mine yesterday wasn’t so bad. I was last, but I also overtook four cars. There’s still a lot of luck involved, and we’re learning what makes a good start and what makes a bad one.
“There are a few pitfalls you can run into that cause problems. Managing the energy and the whole procedure – that’s one thing.
“The way we start is just totally different from last year. It’s trickier across the board. Some drivers are handling it; some just aren’t.”
On the other hand, McLaren looked like they were getting the hang of it by the last day of testing. Jolyon Palmer, watching from the sidelines, was impressed by Piastri’s practice start but even more blown away by Lando Norris.
Palmer thought McLaren had cracked the code. On Friday, Piastri shot off the line in the morning, but Norris outdid everyone in the final session. Palmer joked that Norris hit “warp speed".
He said on the F1 broadcast, “Warp speed, see you mate! That’s a brilliant start from Lando. McLaren is there. I’ve seen it all day. Oscar got a great start. In the pit lane, it looks good.
“I’d love to see that next to the Ferrari, honestly, because it’s really impressive. Their start is much better than Red Bull’s. I’d say it’s even better than Mercedes.”
