JA on F1 podcast: Examining the Global F1 Fan Survey results
Over 100,000 respondents took part from 186 countries. Fans were self-selecting, so this isn't a complete picture of all F1 fans worldwide, but what it does show is that F1 is managing the juggling act of attracting new audiences, while keeping its long-standing supporters on board. And the responses show there is quite a bit of common ground between the two cohorts, not least that the sporting product of F1 is the most important element for both.

We also look at the box office numbers for the opening weekend of F1 The Movie and ask what it means for the championship.
And we'll hear from the newest team principal on the grid, Graeme Lowdon, about why Cadillac will be operating out of both the US and the UK when it enters F1 next season. You can watch the full YouTube video on the Autosport YouTube Channel.
Joining James Allen in the studio to talk through all of these topics are Motorsport.com's Editor-in-Chief Ben Hunt and F1 writer Emily Selleck.

Charles Leclerc loses cool in foul-mouthed radio rant at British Grand Prix
Charles Leclerc swore repeatedly in a fiery outburst over team radio as his frustration boiled over after qualifying at the British Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver had earlier in the day been the quickest on track in the final practice session and was a contender for pole position at Silverstone But the Monegasque could only record the sixth-quickest time in Q3, triggering a foul-mouthed rant over radio. 'F*** that,' he said. 'I am so f****** s***. So f****** s*** I am. I am so f****** s***. That's all I am.' Leclerc's teammate Lewis Hamilton qualified fifth-fastest, while Max Verstappen put his Red Bull on pole ahead of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. In the media pen afterwards, Leclerc acknowledged that his qualifying displays have been under-par so far this season. 'I'm not doing the job,' Leclerc said. 'I think since the beginning of the season, I've been performing very well in the races. 'Looking back at races, there are actually not many races where I will go back to change something that I've done inside the car. 'Unfortunately, when I look back at qualifying — which used to be my strength — there are many qualifying(s) where I would like to go back and to change something, because every time I get to Q3, for some reason, it's not clicking at the moment. 'We've had good qualifying(s), but we didn't have great qualifying(s). And again, this used to be my strength, so I'm not happy with the level that I'm showing in qualifying. 'We've got issues for sure, particularly today from Q2 onwards. We were a bit fighting with something inside the car, but it's not an excuse. I need to be better.' The British Grand Prix starts at 3pm (BST) on Sunday.

Hamilton says 'understeer' cost him front row spot on British GP grid
Lewis Hamilton has yet to claim pole position for a Grand Prix since joining Ferrari (Andrej ISAKOVIC) Home hero Lewis Hamilton said an error on his final flying lap in qualifying on Saturday cost him a probable front row starting position on the grid for the British Grand Prix. The 40-year-old seven-time world champion, who has won his home race a record nine times and taken seven pole positions, admitted one slight mistake had proved costly. Advertisement "I just had understeer on turn 16 and I lost the time that I had –- it probably cost me a place on the front row," he said. Hamilton, seeking his maiden podium position for Ferrari, ended up two-tenths off pole-sitter four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull, but was frustrated that his and Ferrari's excellent progress had not been rewarded. "I'm pleased overall," he said. "I'm pleased with our progress and our direction. I feel my engineer and I have been gelling better in terms of how we set the car up and I am happier in the car. "The lap was really nice until that last corner. It was just a bit of understeer. I don't know if it was the kerb that put me a little wide, but then I just lost it." Advertisement Team-mate Charles Leclerc was also disappointed and blamed himself for failing to put together his best possible lap. "I made too many mistakes and it is a pity," he said, having qualified sixth behind Hamilton. str/nf

'Anytime the trades would report a new 'Jurassic' movie, I would forward to my agents like, 'Hey, I'm available.'' The action sci-fi flick — the fourth in the 'Jurassic World' series — was released on Wednesday, and projections for its five-day earnings through the weekend are topping $141 million. 'F1: The Movie' downshifted to second place, after spending its opener last Friday in first.
