    Mobile Chicane: Does Leclerc have anything to apologise for following his radio rant at the Singapore GP? And does the fact he has apologised show maturity beyond his age?

    Championship leader Lewis Hamilton says he will not be favourite for any of the six remaining races this season.

    The Mercedes driver has a 65-point lead in the championship.

    But Ferrari have won the past three races - and Charles Leclerc has scored the most points in the past five.

    "It is not my job to worry but we are conscious of the position we are in. There isn't a short-term fix but there are other areas we can do better in," Hamilton said.

    "I don't think we are going to be favourites at any of the next six races but that doesn't mean we can't win.

    "If we get the car in the right position in qualifying and then qualify in the right position, we have been stronger generally in most of the races. Positioning is really everything."

    Read the full story.

  10. Have the teams and drivers got over the jet-lag now?published at 08:43 British Summer Time 27 September 2019

    It's a tricky job for F1 teams to pack up their things, ship them to Russia and set up again all within a few days.

    Probably quicker if you drove the cars there instead.

    It's the penultimate double header of the season, and Formula 1 has left the haze and spectacle of Singapore to perch in Sochi, Russia - the home of the 2014 Winter Olympics, and funny hats.
