F1 Nation Previews 2026 Austrian Grand Prix
On this episode of the F1 Nation podcast, Tom Clarkson, Jolyon Palmer and James Hinchcliffe look ahead to the Austrian Grand Prix with the championship picture shifting once again.
Lewis Hamilton's breakthrough win in Barcelona has closed the gap to just 41 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli, raising questions about how both Ferrari and Mercedes will handle their driver lineups in the coming races.
The panel debates whether Ferrari might ask a struggling Charles Leclerc to support Hamilton's title bid if his form doesn't improve, and how the Monegasque would react to such a request.
They also consider whether Mercedes will rethink their approach to Antonelli and George Russell's racing now that Ferrari's resurgence poses a real threat to their dominance.
