F1 corner speeds: 2025 vs 2026 at Silverstone

The 2026 Formula 1 regulations place a much greater emphasis on energy management rather than outright engine power. With the electrical system playing a significantly larger role, drivers must carefully balance speed through the corners with energy recovery and deployment on the straights.

The comparison below shows how corner speeds at Silverstone's key high-speed turns.

The upcoming Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps—another iconic, high-speed circuit—will provide the next opportunity to see how the new regulations influence car performance. Current simulations suggest qualifying laps could be around 3.5+ seconds slower than in 2025.

Most Men Notice Aging All at Once

Men's skin is 25% thicker than women's. That sounds like an advantage. It isn't. Thicker skin delays the visible signs of aging — until collagen drops. And when it drops, it drops hard: heavier eye bags, deeper wrinkles, dark spots, loss of firmness. All at once. Most men were never taught to get ahead of it. That's where Particle Face Cream comes in. A 6-in-1 formula engineered specifically for men's skin — reduces eye bags, dark spots, and wrinkles, restores firmness, hydrates deeply, revives dull tone. Two minutes a day. No complicated routine. Over 1,000,000 men already use it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee. 20% off with code BH20.

Has the luck finally evened out between Kimi and George?

Mercedes have endured more than their fair share of frustration this season.

George Russell retired from the lead in Canada with a technical problem, while a Monaco penalty cost him valuable championship points. More recently, fortune swung back in his favour at Silverstone, where Ferrari's strategy and the race finishing behind the Safety Car promoted him to second place.

Kimi Antonelli's luck has been equally mixed. He retired while running in podium contention, with a genuine chance of fighting for victory in Spain, and was on course to challenge Charles Leclerc at Silverstone on tyres around ten laps fresher before suspension damage left him struggling to control the car.

So, has the bad luck finally evened out?

George Russell certainly thinks so. After Silverstone, he admitted the balance had largely returned to neutral.

In recent races, Antonelli has often looked to have the stronger race pace, leaving Russell with the challenge of finding a little more speed if he wants to stay firmly in the championship fight heading into the summer break.

Spa-Francorchamps now provides the next chapter. Antonelli returns to the circuit where he endured one of the toughest weekends of his young Formula 1 career last year, while Russell arrives at a track where he claimed his maiden Formula 1 podium in 2021 and has traditionally performed well.

If the luck has finally balanced out, Spa should reveal which Mercedes driver truly has the upper hand.

The numbers reveal three distinct patterns. Lewis Hamilton (10-9), Lando Norris (4-3) and Oscar Piastri (2-1) have all been closely matched with their team-mates at Spa, while Max Verstappen (8-3), George Russell (5-2) and Charles Leclerc (5-3) have established a much clearer advantage over theirs.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli (0-1) and Isack Hadjar (0-1) have only one Spa appearance each, making it far too early to draw any conclusions. With another Belgian Grand Prix approaching, they'll have the first real opportunity to start building their own record at one of Formula 1's most demanding circuits.
