Lewis Hamilton: why he's back to his best

Lewis Hamilton's victory at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix marked a breakthrough for both the Briton and Ferrari, but how much of it is down to the man himself, and how much to a Formula 1 car finally built around his needs?

Mark Hughes and Bryn Lucas dig into the remarkable turnaround of both Hamilton and team principal Fred Vasseur, exploring how the new regulations, bespoke brakes and a complete rethink of Ferrari's set-up philosophy have unlocked a seven-time champion who openly admits he forgot who he was last season.

With Lando Norris warning that Ferrari could "embarrass" Mercedes if they reach engine parity, is the 2026 title fight now truly on?

They also examine the messy fallout from Monaco's pitlane penalty chaos: Alpine's successful appeal has handed Pierre Gasly back his podium, but leaves Oscar Piastri and McLaren with a grievance - and George Russell's bungled stop adds another layer of injustice to an already complicated picture.

Plus, are Mercedes hiding a serious power unit reliability problem? And with a race-free weekend ahead, what does the rest of 2026 hold for Charles Leclerc, who heads to the Red Bull Ring - historically one of his happiest hunting grounds - needing a reset?
