150 LAPS LATER: WHAT GEORGE RUSSELL DISCOVERED ABOUT THE NEW ACTIVE AERO WINGS IN BARCELONA
George Russell wraps up day one of F1 2026 testing in Barcelona. Discover why Mercedes is confident in the new power unit rules.
George Russell wrapped up his first day behind the wheel in Barcelona and left the track feeling good about where Mercedes stands.
Formula 1 is in the middle of a private week of testing at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Teams are mostly working in secret, but Mercedes shared its early thoughts after Monday’s first shakedown. With the new season—and a fresh set of rules—right around the corner, all eleven teams are hustling to get ready.
This week’s all about finally running the cars after months of simulations and wind tunnel time. There’s a cap on how much mileage teams can put in, so the focus is really on checking reliability, putting the cars under stress, and making sure what they see on track matches up with their data.
“It’s great to be back out there in an F1 car!” Russell said in the team’s press release. “The cars look awesome on track, which is good for the sport. They feel pretty different to drive, but once you get used to it, they’re actually pretty straightforward. I’m having fun in the cockpit, and I think fans have a lot to look forward to with these new rules.”
2026 F1 Regulation Change Highlights:
- Power units: Now it’s a 50/50 split between combustion and electric, all running on sustainable fuel.
- Active aero: Moveable wings to switch between more speed on the straights and more grip in the corners.
- Smaller cars: Shorter, narrower, lighter—should make for better racing.
- Energy use: Teams have to manage energy recovery even more carefully, and there are new rules to stop battery harvesting on long straights.
“We had a good day, but I have to give credit to some of the other teams too,” Russell added. “Red Bull’s power unit did a ton of laps—impressive for their first engine. Haas put in about the same mileage as we did, so Ferrari’s power unit is also looking strong. It’s nothing like how things were in 2014. The sport’s changed so much—the bar is way higher now.”
Russell’s young Italian teammate Antonelli felt the same way. “It was great being back in the car this morning, and more importantly, we got a lot done on day one here in Barcelona. There’s a lot to learn about these new machines, so every lap counts as we try to figure them out. The teams at Brackley and Brixworth did a fantastic job—getting a car out there that can run 150 laps on its first real day is no small feat.
“It’s early, though. We’ll find things to tweak over the next few days—testing is all about making improvements. Right now, the car feels good, and we want to build on this start with the rest of our track time here.”
Andrew Shovlin, the team’s trackside engineering boss, sounded pleased too.
“On the first day with any new car, our main goal is simple—get as many laps as possible under our belt. That’s how we start learning what we need for the rest of the week. Today was about getting to know the car, making sure it runs at the right temperatures, and seeing if we can handle long stints. We ticked all those boxes.
“It took a massive effort to get this car ready—both the chassis and the power unit teams have been grinding away at Brixworth for years. We don’t know how fast we are yet, but we’ve shown we can keep the car running, and that’s down to the hard work from everyone at both our factories.”
Mercedes has two more days of testing in Barcelona before the circus heads to Bahrain in February for public testing, where everyone will really get to see what these new cars can do.
KIM KARDASHIAN AND LEWIS HAMILTON SPOTTED ON ROMANTIC EUROPEAN TOUR TOGETHER
Kim Kardashian and F1 star Lewis Hamilton are turning heads across Europe as insiders reveal Kim's "Russell Wilson" nickname.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are the latest celebrity duo making waves, and apparently, Kim’s already got a cheeky nickname for him. The two have been spotted out together in the Cotswolds, London, and Paris, just enjoying themselves and turning a few heads in the process.
Word is, Kim’s close friends are spilling a few details about this new romance. One insider claims Lewis isn’t looking to settle down right now, but Kim still has a special name for him—she calls him “her Russell Wilson”. If you know the reference, it’s a nod to NFL star Russell Wilson, who married singer Ciara after her high-profile breakup with rapper Future. Friends say Kim thinks of Lewis as a “sophisticated upgrade” from her ex, Kanye West.
Kim and Kanye—now legally known as Ye—were married from 2014 to 2021 and share four kids. Their co-parenting relationship is famously complicated.
Kim’s reportedly a bit anxious about how Kanye will react to her new thing with Lewis, considering Kanye and Lewis were friends back in the day. One source told the Mail, “They’re both cautious about Kanye’s feelings since he and Lewis go way back. Kim’s living for herself these days, but she doesn’t want to poke the bear. They know this could set Kanye off, so they’re keeping it light and just having fun for now.”
Kim and Lewis first crossed paths years ago at GQ’s 2014 Men of the Year Awards. Back then, they both showed up with their now-exes—Kim was with Ye, and Lewis was with Nicole Scherzinger.
Kanye even had Lewis over for Easter one year. He talked about it: “Lewis Hamilton’s over at my house, and we’re playing some music in my studio. We’re having Easter brunch—my wife’s family, my friends, everyone’s there. And everybody’s like, ‘What is this music?’ and I’m like, ‘It’s Lewis Hamilton’s music.’”
Since splitting from Ye, Kim’s dated Pete Davidson and moved on. Kanye’s remarried, too—this time to Australian architect Bianca Censori.
Those two have been in the headlines a lot, usually for their wild fashion choices. Things got especially wild when Bianca showed up at the Grammy Awards in a see-through gown. She arrived in a black fur coat but ditched it to reveal a sheer dress that left little to the imagination. People at the event were definitely stunned.
FERRARI SF-26 COMPLETES 121 LAPS IN HISTORIC LEWIS HAMILTON-LECLERC BARCELONA DEBUT
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc completed a "productive" 121-lap debut for the Ferrari SF-26 during 2026 testing in Barcelona.
Ferrari kicked off its on-track work for the 2026 Formula One season with a steady first day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc split driving duties in the team’s bold new car, and the whole thing felt like the start of a new chapter.
With the 2026 rules shaking up both the chassis and the power unit, Ferrari didn’t chase lap times. They zeroed in on checking systems, making sure their data lined up, and ironing out any reliability kinks. The weather threw a few curveballs—rain, some dry patches—but even so, they got through their plan and stacked up plenty of laps.
Leclerc seemed upbeat after his first taste of the new machine. He said it felt good to get back behind the wheel and start figuring out the car, even if the focus was just on systems and not raw speed. “We came here to understand how everything works,” he said. “With the weather mixed up, today was all about checks. We finished what we set out to do, and the car did what we expected. It’s a solid start and a decent base.”
Hamilton, now officially in Ferrari red, felt the same. For him, it was a busy day—lots of on-track time, plenty of new things to get used to—but he called it productive. “We got good mileage, learnt a lot, and didn’t hit any big issues. That’s what matters with so many changes coming in. This gives us a strong platform for the next few days.”
Ferrari’s Head of Track Engineering, Matteo Togninalli, stressed how important it was just to get through the day cleanly. “Given the conditions, it went well for us,” he said. Rain or not, they racked up the laps and—most importantly—avoided any real reliability problems. That’s the top priority when you’re shaking down a brand-new car and engine.
Performance talk? Still way too early for that. Right now, Ferrari’s just learning how this new car behaves, gathering data, and building up bit by bit as the days go on—keeping their focus squarely on themselves.
