Motor Sport F1 Show with Mark Hughes2 Juli

Will super-clipping at Silverstone ruin the British GP?

The Formula 1 season has burst into life, with three different race winners in the past three grands prix, and a return to fast-paced racing rather than complaints about artificial overtakes and super-clipping.

But the controversy around electrical energy looks set to be back with a spark at Silverstone, where its series of fast, sweeping corners offer little natural opportunity to generate power for the batteries.

This year's cars will run out of energy on the straights, says Mark Hughes, in the latest episode of the F1 Show, warning fans that the sound of a car decelerating on the straight while racing 'flat out' will mix up their senses.

What will it mean for the race itself, and the competitive order? Mark and presenter Bryn Lucas take a detailed look.

They also ask what hope for Lando Norris as he returns to the scene of a triumphant home victory in 2025, and discuss the latest rumours around Max Verstappen's future.

Plus, there's a look back to the controversies of last weekend, including George Russell's pole lap set under a yellow flag. and discussion on why the Mercedes factory team has such an advantage over customers with the same engine.

And Mark answers your questions on slowing for yellow flags, Ferrari personnel departures, and an intriguing tyre proposal.
