Lewis Hamilton Breaks Down Ferrari SF-25 Performance After Major Austrian GP Upgrade
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed the effects of a new floor upgrade to his Ferrari SF-25 F1 car after the second free practice session at Spielberg. Considering Hamilton's ongoing struggles as he adjusts to the new car this season, Ferrari introduced a new floor for the Austrian Grand Prix, with changes made to the diffuser, floor edge, fences, and body. However, Hamilton was unable to test the floor in Free Practice 1 due to a gearbox failure. In the second practice session, he was the tenth fastest. Hamilton opened up on the gearbox problem before admitting that the car wasn't good enough to battle for the top positions. He told F1: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari seeks shade under an umbrella in the pit lane during the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 15, 2025 in Montreal, Canada. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari seeks shade under an umbrella in the pit lane during the F1 Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 15, 2025 in Montreal, Canada."We had a problem in the morning with the gearbox, which was obviously difficult, frustrating for everyone in the garage obviously because the boys did a great job, kept topping it up. "But you go out, you can only do one lap, and so we didn't get the long runs. But I think we recovered okay with it, they did a great job changing the gearbox and getting us ready for FP2. "Charles was six-tenths off, I was close to a second off, so not ideal. But I think there's lots of learnings, so I think we will make some changes. Hopefully we can try and get a little bit closer. We won't be at the front." When asked whether the new floor made any difference, the 40-year-old driver said: "A huge amount of work went on to bring the floor, but as you see it's not necessarily changed our competitiveness. "The car actually doesn't feel bad, we're just a huge chunk off pace-wise, so we need to look into that and that's about it really. We just keep pushing, just trying to dial the car in more and see what we can get, but it's obviously very close in the top 10 so a tenth could make a difference, so we'll work towards trying to gain at least that over the night." Hamilton's teammate Charles Leclerc stressed that the SF-25 needed more performance and called for changes to be made overnight for the qualifying session. He added: "I felt kind of at ease on the track straightaway, but not really at ease with the car and the way the car feels, so there's quite a bit of work to be done for tomorrow. "It doesn't feel like the performance is quite there yet, but hopefully we will put everything together tomorrow and do a step forward, but there's quite a lot of work to be done tonight. "Long run [pace] seems to be more positive as we very often have – we are faster on the race [pace] than we are in Qualifying. In Qualifying, there's a lot of work to be done."

How to Watch the 2025 Austrian GP on a Free Channel
After an exciting win for George Russell in Canada, fans are gearing up for another Grand Prix. You know the deal, it's time to learn how to watch the F1 Austrian GP on a free channel. The Austrian Grand Prix live stream is available on several premium streaming services. However, not everyone has the luxury of affording them. If you're one of those fans, this free TV channel has your back! An ideal place to catch up on all Formula One races for free is SRF. SRF is a Swiss-based TV channel with an on-demand service titled SRF Play. SRF Play's website allows you to enjoy this company's channels, and SRF Zwei broadcasts the 2025 Austria GP online for free. The great thing about SRF Play is that it's 100% free and doesn't require an account. This means you can waltz in on the race day, click the live-stream, and enjoy. Moreover, it'll be broadcast in Full HD. As a result, users can enjoy the highest-quality footage of the race. The problem, however, is that SRF's content is region-locked chiefly to Switzerland. Furthermore, as a Swiss TV channel, it's not in English, and the German-language commentary might break the immersion. Watch F1 Austria GP With NordVPN Avid F1 fans looking to save money won't mind. Besides, this is an excellent proposition given the live-stream quality and the fact that it's free, without an account. So, how do people watch SRF abroad? This question segues into the solution working for thousands of motorsport fans abroad. Most of them have reported that VPNs help tremendously. NordVPN, as the most popular one, seems to work rather well. It offers VPN servers in Switzerland and is suited to streaming. People often praise its unrestricted speeds, unlimited bandwidth, applications for all devices, and Swiss IPs. There's also a 30-day refund policy. This allows users to get NordVPN, watch the F1 Austria GP live on a free channel, and get a refund. However, most fans keep using NordVPN long-term and enjoy free F1 broadcasts, saving tons of money on premium services. You may wonder how this is possible; here's the trick. SRF Play allows only Swiss-based users to access the content. The trick is to connect to a VPN server in Switzerland, which assigns you a Swiss IP and hides the original one. Now, you appear in Switzerland! It's a clever trick that doesn't require extensive tech knowledge. Anyone can do it, as proven by the many motorsport lovers worldwide who employ NordVPN to watch F1 and MotoGP races for free online. And if you want the trick to remain 100% free, we recommend reading our guide on how to try NordVPN for free and without risk. The trick with the free channel works worldwide. However, you must consider the price if you're in the UK or the US and want English-speaking options. No free channel broadcasts this or any other F1 race for free in those countries. The race is accessible on Sky Sports and Channel 4 in the UK. Sky Sports is around £20 monthly, while Channel 4 is £39.99 annually. You'll find ESPN+ helpful in the US, but it costs $11.99 monthly or $119.99 annually. These platforms provide an exceptional F1 Austria GP live stream quality (up to 4K) in English, but at steep prices. We should also mention F1 TV as a third option. It costs over $65 annually and has no monthly plans, resulting in a high upfront cost. All things considered, a free channel like SRF remains a solid choice.

Brad Pitt's F1 racing movie debuts. Can it help bring the sport to new heights?
It's a huge week for Formula One, but the action isn't on the racetrack. 'F1 The Movie' premiered in the US this Friday, June 27. The blockbuster with a rumored $200 million production budget backed by Apple (AAPL) and distributed by Warner Bros. (WBD) aims for glory in the highly competitive summer release calendar. The movie is tracking well for a strong opening box office, per Hollywood insiders. The film is based on a tried-but-true formula (forgive the pun). Fictional aging racer Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) is brought on to an upstart team to help guide its rookie driver, but along the way he comes face to face with his own personal demons, and of course redemption. But that's the boring part. What has everyone, or at least car buffs, salivating is the access the filmmakers had to the sport: filming at real races using real F1 cars and technology, embedding themselves in the sport, and capturing footage that brings the viewer right into the driver's seat. A movie like this, especially with a big focus on the US audience, would have been a surprise only a few years ago. Part of this is because F1 — considered the most technically advanced, and glamorous, racing league — is finally growing in the US. In 2024, the sport reached about 30 million viewers across ESPN (DIS) platforms, with an average of 1.1 million viewers per race during the season. That's pretty good for a sport that used to count viewers in the thousands less than ten years ago. US fans, who discovered the sport and grew with it as shows like Netflix's (NFLX) 'Drive to Survive' brought drivers into viewers' living rooms, have become a coveted group to market. That's both for the sport, which is owned by Liberty Media (FWONK), and the many brands that have now signed on as sponsors. '[The F1] fanbase across the world is over 800 million; fanbase in the US is 50 million. But the really important thing is doubling year on year,' said James Vowles, the head of Williams F1 and a former longtime Mercedes team exec. 'So great trajectory commercially, and if we look at all of the partners and sponsors that we have, a third of them are from the US, which just tells you how important it is.' Moviegoers, from the hardcore F1 fans to those who just want to see Brad Pitt drive a race car, will be most impressed by how close the filmmakers were to the sport in capturing the action. 'It's not a documentary, but it is authentic to us as a sport,' Vowles said. '[Producer] Jerry [Bruckheimer], [director] Joe [Kosinski], and the team were really, really impressive at integrating themselves across [the last two seasons], such that as far as I went, we had an 11th team alongside us. It was really seamless in terms of integration.' The F1 movie team had its own F1 race cars, fictional team personnel, and even pit setups to replicate the 11th team on the real F1 grid. Apple created special cameras that were embedded in the race cars to capture all the action. The realism is an important aspect of the movie, and portraying it effectively is good for the brand, Vowles said. 'I think what we've done really well, and it's a combination of Liberty, combination of Netflix and I think the Formula 1 film as well, is actually portraying how much of a team sport it is, how much we got 1000 people behind the scenes working every hour they can to develop the car, every single race to be different,' Vowles said. Plenty of large US multinational companies have bought into the F1 story via team sponsorships —including Oracle (ORCL), Visa (V), Walmart (WMT), HP (HPQ), and Alphabet's Google (GOOG) among them. Williams counts US brands like Duracell batteries (BRK-B), Michelob Ultra beer (BUD), and crypto exchange Kraken ( among others, as sponsors, and US-based investment firm Dorilton Capital is Williams's majority owner. Now Williams itself would like to see more brands — US or otherwise — join its sponsorship ranks. Title sponsorships, like Williams' Atlassian deal, can for the most successful teams result in $20 million or more in revenue. Williams had a strong 2024, but has had mixed results this year, sitting fifth in the team standings. Poor results mean less shared revenue, which in 2024 was split among the teams from a pool of $1.23 billion, with the higher-performing teams getting more money. Poor results also mean less money from sponsors. There's also the concern that the sport of F1 has been stretched too far in the US, with newer fans harder to come by. ESPN has reportedly opted out of its TV rights deal with F1, with Liberty Media seeking a new deal worth upwards of $150 million per season, nearly double the current TV deal. Streamers like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple may step in, betting on future growth. As for Vowles, who just inked a new deal to run the team, he believes Williams is a 'sleeping giant" in F1 despite this year's struggles, citing the team's winning history of nine world championships and seven drivers championships, new investments, and strong drivers like Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon. Whether Williams, now competing in its 48th season, can get back to its winning ways is an open question. The hope is that Brad Pitt's aging racer seeking redemption in "F1 The Movie" can lend a hand. Pras Subramanian is the lead auto reporter for Yahoo Finance. You can follow him on X and on Instagram.
