Martin Brundle, the former F1 driver and now Sky Sports F1 analyst, feels sure Lewis Hamilton’s 2026 season will top what he managed in 2025.

Hamilton’s first year at Ferrari was always going to be about finding his feet. Adjusting to the team took longer than he probably hoped. He didn’t make it onto a Grand Prix podium all season, though he did snag a sprint race win in China. Not exactly the kind of year you’d expect from a seven-time world champion.

But now, Hamilton’s ready to move on. He’s hit the reset button, and with F1’s big regulation changes coming in 2026, the whole grid’s getting a fresh start.

Brundle put it pretty simply when Sky Sports F1 asked if things would get better for Lewis: “I hope so. For Lewis, for Ferrari. As fans, we always want Ferrari to do well, don’t we? And I’d love to see things work out for Lewis.”

You can tell Brundle’s optimistic. He’s noticed Hamilton seems happier. He thinks Lewis will really make the most of the new tools and rules. Of course, he still has to beat Charles Leclerc in the other Ferrari. Leclerc’s no slouch. But Brundle’s point is that a happy Lewis is a fast Lewis, wherever he’s driving.

He also thinks Ferrari’s made some smart moves over the winter. “They look in a better place than they have for a few years,” Brundle said. “So I’m confident Lewis will have a better year.”

Craig Slater, Brundle’s co-presenter, brought up how much work Hamilton has put in at Ferrari over the last year. “He said, ‘I’ve put my DNA in this car.’ Last year, he was talking about being new and having to adjust, but now he’s worked really hard building relationships and preparing for these new rules. The big question is, will he get the payoff?”

Slater can’t help but imagine the buzz if Hamilton, at 41, really fights for that elusive eighth title.

Brundle wrapped it up by saying, “Lewis is bigger than F1 in a way no other driver is. But he’s got a pack of younger guys, some barely half his age, to take on. It won’t be easy, but I really think he’s in for a stronger season.”

Lando Norris’ ex-girlfriend, Magui Corceiro, just made her first public move since their breakup. She popped up in the comments on his latest Instagram post, throwing a little shade or maybe just having some fun. “Nice pjs, you're welcome,” she wrote under a photo of Norris bundled up in red tartan pants, sharing snaps from his snowy off-season break.

Their split made headlines last week. Norris, 26, and Corceiro, 23, have been on and off since 2023, but now it looks like they’re done for real. Just two months ago, everything seemed perfect; they were celebrating Norris’ first F1 world title together in Abu Dhabi. Now, Magui’s dropping playful comments on his posts, and the whole thing feels a world away from those happy days.

Rumours started flying when a video from Bahrain testing surfaced. In it, Carlos Sainz asked Norris, “Are you and Magui good?” Norris replied, “No, I’m a single man.” The audio wasn’t crystal clear, but that was enough to set tongues wagging. F1 correspondent Kym Illman later confirmed the breakup, telling his Instagram followers, “It’s definitely true.”

There’d already been signs that things were cooling off. After Norris’ big win last season, the couple drifted apart. At a celebratory party in Bahrain, everyone important to Norris was there except Magui. That stood out.

Back in December, Corceiro was emotional after watching Norris clinch the championship. She later told TV Guia, “There’s no rule for going public... I’m very happy, he’s very happy, and that’s what matters.” She joined in the victory celebrations with Norris’ family and the McLaren crew, partying until sunrise and reportedly racking up a massive bar tab.

Corceiro, who’s from Santarem, Portugal, is more than just Norris’ ex. She’s an actress, model, and social media star with a huge following of 800,000 fans on TikTok alone. She’s appeared in Portuguese dramas, featured in campaigns for brands like Intimissimi and Alo Yoga, and even competed on Portugal’s Dancing with the Stars. She co-founded an eco-friendly swimwear brand, Missus, and has graced Vogue Portugal’s pages.

Their relationship was always in the spotlight. Norris once told Vogue about Magui, saying, “She’s someone I can very much be myself with. Very down to earth, and she lives quite a crazy life as well. It’s nice when we can both just rent a boat for the day or go home together and chill.” He joked about trying to get her into golf; she hates it.

Now, though, it looks like they’ve called it quits. Neither of them has made an official announcement, but judging by the recent social media moves and all the talk in the paddock, it’s pretty clear they’ve gone their separate ways.
