It's the Canadian Grand Prix weekend and it's time for some predictions, folks! Mercedes are bringing their biggest upgrade of their year to the track George Russell won at last season.

Everyone reported the wrong story about Ocon's Haas seat.

Brazilian journalist Julianne Cerasoli's comments about Esteban Ocon were mistranslated across every F1 outlet recently. The real paddock conversation was about Rafael Câmara, Ferrari's F1 Academy driver and F2 title contender.

But you know what? I'm glad it got sorted out. Ferrari and Toyota both want something from that second Haas seat in 2027...and Ayao Komatsu isn't publicly defending his driver. Unless Ocon can get a podium in Formula 1's 2026 season it might be the end of his time in the sport.

The FIA has opened a live investigation into F1 team ownership...and it's not aimed at Red Bull.

A MEGA millions stake in Alpine F1 is up for sale and three serious buyers are circling: Mercedes, Christian Horner and a financial investor nobody's talking about. However, the FIA president Ben Sulayem just opened a formal investigation into multi-team ownership...the same week he publicly backed Horner's return and said his absence felt like a "vacation". As that happens, McLaren's Zak Brown has now written a formal letter to the FIA demanding new ownership rules, which could block Mercedes' bid entirely...and the fact it wasn't a Red Bull dig surprises me greatly...

You think the FIA bailed out Honda...it was Newey, really.

Yesterday afternoon the FIA clearly detailed how the new ADUO mechanism actually works. Honda's in line for up to $19 million in development relief after Canada...but then I realised what Honda's own F1 project leads had been saying for months now. A careful message about who actually built the problem the FIA's now paying to fix. Honda is blaming Newey for this mess...in a corporate way.

However, the request that started this whole mess might be redeemed should the 2027 changes start to fix Formula 1. Honda may be a in good place come next year...and it won't be mainly down to the design genius who asked too much.

Fashion saved Enstone once...now it's about to save it again.

The Gucci-Alpine rumour sounds ridiculous at first...but it's too perfect given Enstone's F1 history since the Toleman days. BWT's era is ending...and Gucci's parent company hired the man who built Alpine's F1 identity. Alpine lost its works engine and needs a new story fast. Flavio Briatore, who ran Benetton's clothing operation before he ever ran an F1 team, is about repeat the past with this Formula One team.

But a snazzy sponsor is one thing...being fast is another. Is this a warning sign for Formula 1?
