Somewhat bizarrely, Antonelli has perhaps been at his most dominant over the rest of the field in terms of pure pace over the last three rounds, but a large chunk of misfortune along with a couple of errors have seen his lead cut by 41 points.

He has rarely been outpaced by Russell in this period, but the Brit used his experience and grit to grind out a win in Austria and following that up with a second place at Silverstone as wheel-guard failure for Antonelli dropped the Italian from contention for victory to outside the points.

While Antonelli's pace has been consistent, the 19-year-old has made the odd blunder. He was lucky to get away with some overzealous driving at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix, while a poor start at Silverstone saw him overtaken by both Ferraris before the first corner.

There seems to be little doubt that Antonelli is going to continue to deliver strong pace, but the question is whether, with the added pressure of his rivals closing in, he can avoid the sort of trouble that might give them a chance to further reduce his advantage.

Having gone three races without a win after his historic streak of five victories, Antonelli could do with reasserting himself by getting back on the top step in at least one of the two events before the break.

Pressure mounts on Red Bull in Verstappen saga

There's a sense of deja vu around Max Verstappen's situation as we approach the final two races before the summer break.

This time last year there was plenty of speculation around Verstappen's future, before he confirmed ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix that he would stay with the team for at least one more season.

Verstappen is signed up with Red Bull until the end of 2028 but has an exit clause in his contract stipulating that he can leave the team at the end of this season if he's outside the top two at the start of the summer break, which his retirement at Silverstone confirmed he will be.

It became public knowledge during the previous double-header that Verstappen's representatives had met with McLaren to sound out the Woking squad about whether there might be an opening for the Dutchman.

That story dominated the build-up at Silverstone, and the weekend couldn't have gone much worse for Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies, with Verstappen spending much of it frustrated by a top-speed issue with his car, before crashing out in the closing stages of the race.

The crash was caused by an issue with the car's rear wing not fully closing, and Verstappen was left saying he was "fed up" with the "dangerous" situation after he had crashed as a result of a similar issue during qualifying in Austria a week earlier.

While it's unclear just how many options Verstappen has away from Red Bull, there's little doubt that Red Bull have never been under more pressure from their star driver.

Leclerc to continue resurgence?

So no more talk of there being some kind of Ferrari contract renewal 'curse' hanging over Charles Leclerc in the wake of his accomplished drive to victory at the British Grand Prix.

Still, there was no disguising the fact that the going had certainly been rough for Leclerc since that extended deal with the Scuderia was announced last month in the lead up to his home race in Monaco.

He crashed out of the race on that very weekend in the Principality, crashed again six days later during qualifying in Barcelona and, while he stuck his SF-26 on the front row a fortnight on in Austria to suggest the tide was turning, the Spielberg race was fairly disastrous too in that he had slumped to eighth place by the finish.

But something appeared to click for Leclerc by the business end of the Silverstone Sprint weekend, allowing him to outperform the in-form Lewis Hamilton in the other Ferrari around the track where the Briton so often makes the difference and finally, with the added fortune of Antonelli's late demise, ending what had become a 624-day personal victory drought.

Leclerc spoke after the race of having the 'feeling back' with his car, although stressed the win was just the first step towards delivering more consistent form. That's where Hamilton has certainly had the edge over him in recent months, allowing the Briton to build what stands as a 39-point advantage in their in-house head-to-head in the standings behind the Mercedes drivers.

Leclerc will now go Spa, scene of the first of his now-nine career grands prix victories back in 2019, surely with renewed confidence as Ferrari aim to show that their surprisingly strong Silverstone form will transfer to Belgium's similarly fast and flowing high-speed track. Should they do that, then Mercedes really may have a true championship fight on their hands heading towards the summer break.

Aston Martin upgrades finally set to arrive

After a dismal start to the season, Aston Martin are hoping to finally turn a corner when they bring a major upgrade package to Hungary.

Team principal Adrian Newey confirmed before the British Grand Prix that the package will result in a significant weight reduction along with some major changes to the AMR26's aerodynamics.

Just how much impact the changes will have remains to be seen, given the team's main issues this season have come from their Honda engine.

While it has not yet been confirmed when an engine update will arrive, the redesign of the car has the potential to allow elements of the power unit to function more efficiently.

These upgrades are not only significant in the context of the team's shocking underperformance, but also in regard to Fernando Alonso's future.

The Spaniard turns 45 a few days after the race in Hungary, and his decision over whether to continue for another year will surely be influenced by whether or not he sees positive results from the new parts.

Having slipped into obscurity, Aston Martin will be right back under the spotlight at the Hungaroring.

'Silly season' to ramp up?

Given Max Verstappen's future - both in terms of him staying in the sport or considering a switch of teams - has been a talking point all season, it's fair to say the Dutchman's situation sits outside F1's regular 'silly season' of speculation around other movement on the grid.

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

However, whatever he decides will undoubtedly have a bearing on the rest of the grid, potentially freeing up a Red Bull seat and triggering a potential domino effect.

Alonso's retirement decision, which could free up another seat at Aston Martin, will also be a key moment in dictating how much drama we see off track over the coming weeks.

So who would be in line for either of those rather desirable seats, should they become available? If Verstappen were to leave Red Bull for McLaren or Mercedes, whichever driver he replaced at those teams would become an obvious option to make a straight swap.

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

However, F1 isn't always that simple, and there is no doubt there are a couple of other drivers on the grid who feel they would be just as worthy of a chance to drive for a top team.

Carlos Sainz continues to impress at Williams and may be running out of patience after the team's underwhelming start to 2026. The Spaniard has proven he can deliver under pressure at Ferrari and is a safe bet for any elite squad.

The other name that has been floating around is that of Britain's own Oliver Bearman, who is having a strong season for a Haas team that appear to be falling behind in the development race.

The 21-year-old is contracted to Ferrari but with Hamilton and Leclerc in form, may decide his best route to moving further up the grid is to look beyond the Italian team.

There also continues to be speculation that Haas want to replace Bearman's team-mate Esteban Ocon, who is having a difficult campaign. Former Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda is a prime candidate to make a return to the grid in that seat.

The company said in a blog post on Monday that the site in Richland Parish, Louisiana — home to what will be Meta's largest data center — will be a 5GW facility and cost over $50 billion. That's higher than the $27 billion figure that was revealed in October, when Meta and Blue Owl Capital formed a joint venture to help with the buildout and management of the facility, originally planned as a 2GW data center.

As Meta pursues its multi-hundred-billion-dollar buildout artificial intelligence buildout, the company and hyperscaler rivals Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon are taking advantage of tax rebates and energy deals being offered by states that are fighting to get a piece of the AI boom.

In late 2024, Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry signed into law a 20-year sales tax exemption for data centers built before 2029 as part of an effort to court Meta in the state, CNBC previously reported. Landry is set to host a press event on Monday in Baton Rouge.

"I'm a business guy," Landry told CNBC in an interview last year. "What we know is when you look at the overall comprehensive package here, it's in the black. For local government, and the state, and how you get to the bottom line is irrespective to me."

Meta is expanding the project as it seeks to build out enough AI infrastructure to meet demand. The announcement comes after Meta had its best week on the stock market since early 2024 following the release of two major AI models under the leadership of AI chief Alexandr Wang, head of Meta Superintelligence Labs. Investors have been looking for the company to start showing returns on its outsized AI investments.

Meta said in Monday's post that the company "pays the full costs of the energy, water, and related infrastructure the data center uses so consumers aren't paying the cost." Since construction of the Louisiana data center began in December 2024, local businesses have received over $1.6 billion in contracts from Meta, the company said.

"With this expansion, we will be investing over $1 billion in local infrastructure improvements, including roads, water and wastewater systems," Meta said in the post. The company didn't announce a financial partner for the expansion.

When the project began, the estimated price tag was $10 billion. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post roughly six months later that the supercluster, named Hyperion, would be "able to scale up to 5GW over several years." Unlike traditional data centers, superclusters are packed with graphics processing units and related cutting-edge hardware tailored for AI workloads.

"Meta Superintelligence Labs will have industry-leading levels of compute and by far the greatest compute per researcher," Zuckerberg wrote.

A Meta spokesperson told CNBC that the Hyperion project should reach 2GW by 2030, but there's no timeline for when the full 5GW project will be completed.

WATCH: Meta rebound should continue through July.

Tehran’s attacks on Monday came as a response to Washington’s escalating strikes as prospects of peace between the two countries recede.

Here is a recap of the latest attacks:

Where were the latest Iran attacks?

Oman: The IRGC said it attacked Oman as part of its latest phase of retaliation. It said it targeted “the FPS long-range aerial radar and the vessel detection radar in Oman”, adding that these radar systems were destroyed.

Bahrain: The IRGC also said it launched missile and drone attacks targeting “installations and infrastructure of the aggressive US army” in Juffair, Bahrain.

Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior said on Monday that sirens had been sounded in the country as it warned people to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.

The IRGC earlier said it targeted several facilities at the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain.

Jordan: Jordan’s military said on Monday that it intercepted and downed “four missiles that entered Jordanian airspace” and came from Iranian territory.

Earlier, the IRGC said it targeted Jordan’s Prince Hassan Air Base with missiles and drones and set fire to several fuel depots and ammunition storage facilities.

Kuwait: The IRGC said on Monday that it also targeted a US surface-to-surface missile base in Kuwait, “setting fire to two HIMARS missile launchers and missile-packed warehouses, completely destroying them”.

HIMARS stands for high mobility artillery rocket systems, which are mobile rocket launchers manufactured by the US.

Earlier, the General Staff of Kuwait’s Army said air defence systems were engaging “hostile aerial targets” inside the country’s airspace.

It said any explosions heard were the result of air defence systems intercepting the attacks and urged the public to follow safety and security instructions.

Where was Iran hit?

The US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) earlier said it hit “dozens of targets at multiple locations with precision munitions to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international shipping flowing through the Strait of Hormuz”.

These targets included “Iranian military air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, it said.

CENTCOM said it deployed “US fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones, and one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

Valiollah Hayati, the deputy governor for security and law enforcement in western Iran’s Khuzestan province, told the semiofficial ISNA news agency on Monday that US forces attacked at least eight locations across Khuzestan overnight.

Hayati also said one person was killed and four were injured when a projectile hit an agricultural water-pumping station in Mahshahr, according to the IRNA news agency.

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on Monday that a US-manufactured LUCAS (low-cost uncrewed combat attack system) suicide drone was “accurately hit and shot down” in Bandar Abbas, a city on the Strait of Hormuz.

What has each side said?

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement on Monday condemning the US strikes on targets in Iran.

US President Donald Trump insisted that the Strait of Hormuz was open during an appearance on the NBC TV network’s Meet the Press programme on Sunday.

“They’re very, very evil and sick people. We had meetings with them. They agreed to a deal yesterday, a perfect deal for us. No nuclear, no this, no that, no nothing. They gave up everything. And then after that, they left the room. And then within an hour, they launched a drone at a ship,” Trump said.

When did the conflict reignite?

On July 6, the IRGC struck three commercial vessels, including a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker, off Oman. Iran accused the ships of trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without its permission. Tehran’s interpretation of a key clause in the June memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the US gives it the authority to manage traffic through the waterway.

The following day, the US said it carried out strikes on Iranian military targets. Tehran in turn responded with missile and drone attacks on military bases across the Gulf where US forces are deployed.

On Wednesday, Trump told reporters the MoU was over, and on Saturday, the IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz was closed yet again.

How has this impacted the Strait of Hormuz and shipping?

The number of vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to its lowest level in five weeks, according to shipping data.

Six ships sailed through the strait on Sunday, according to data from the trade intelligence firm Kpler, including the Humanity and the Capetan Andreas, transporting 2 million barrels of Iranian oil and 500,000 barrels of Kuwaiti petroleum products, respectively.

Three empty tankers also entered the Gulf to load oil, according to the data. %!s()

Angus is back in Amanda’s good books this season, having her most personal season yet. “With Gigi packing for university and a long overdue trip to Poland to finally lay her father to rest, Juliet is learning how to let go… However, whether she’s setting the rules at her own styling event or delivering the most lethal set at the Drag Roast, her tongue remains the sharpest in London,” said Hayu. “But standing shoulder to shoulder with Amanda means inheriting her fallouts, and this season, the crossfire comes from every direction.

For Cronin, business is booming, and she is firmly in CEO mode. “But when her rekindled friendship with Juliet Angus leaves Karen feeling pushed out, Amanda finds herself juggling tensions on every front, and a treatment at her own clinic spirals into a saga that threatens the one thing she’s built her name on.”

Loderick-Peace is opening the season at a charity event, raising funds for Jamaica and hosting the girls’ trip of a lifetime in Antigua. “But as Amanda and Juliet Angus grow close again, Karen starts to wonder exactly where she stands — and asking the question out loud sets off one of the season’s biggest clashes. Sidelined but never silenced, Karen leans on Jeremy and the girls as old wounds from her past resurface… This season, Karen is done giving more than she gets back.”

After a “bruising start that leaves her on the outside looking in,” Mayhew is determined to win the group over one woman at a time. Against all odds, it starts to work. “With her West End dreams coming alive and Tiggy cheering from the wings, Juliet is finally finding the thing that fulfils her beyond motherhood,” teased the streamer. “But just as she steps into the spotlight, fate has other plans, and the woman accused of performing all season is about to show everyone exactly who she really is.”

Parker, “armed with the most expensive lips in London and opinions to match,” is done biting her tongue in season two. “When the lips in question become the season’s biggest source of tension, her friendship with Amanda is pushed to the brink, and Panthea decides that if anyone’s going to force this group to be honest, it’s her.”

Meanwhile, Welschinger is holding down the fort, with Remy abroad and her dad’s well-being on her mind. “When the women demand she gets off the fence, Nessie discovers her voice, and it turns out she’s funnier and fiercer than anyone expected. Between hosting Chinese New Year, stealing the show at the Drag Roast and facing down a new arrival who claims to know who she really is, Nessie is proving that the nicest woman in the room is nobody’s pushover.”

The Real Housewives of London will be available to stream on Hayu from Sept. 7, with episodes dropping weekly. Following the 10-episode run, the season will culminate with a reunion special, hosted again by U.K.-based comedienne Katherine Ryan. %!s()

Last year, she chose the dress as a way to pay tribute to some of the babies killed during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

She bought a vintage gown and in red thread embroidered it with the names of 300 victims.

“I’ve used it as a blank canvas, really,” she told Al Jazeera.

She immersed the hem in a harsh cleaning product to fray the ends.

“I wanted it torn and ragged to represent the conditions in which these people live under.

“When it’s actually hanging, the threads drop the viewer to the bottom where you can sense the profound loss, really, because they sort of pool at the bottom.

“It sort of resembles a bit like a pool of blood.”

Williams, a retired art lecturer, said she was “compelled” to make the artwork “for people to actually grasp the enormity of what is actually happening”.

It is titled Know Their Names after an interactive series of databases compiled by Al Jazeera naming some of the tens of thousands of victims of Israeli attacks. In January 2024, a long list included the names and ages of some of the children who were known at the time to have been killed in Gaza. Overall, Israel’s attacks since the start of its latest war on Gaza in October 2023 have killed more than 20,000 children.

The gown created by Williams features the names of babies under the age of one such as Sara, Elias, Mai and Mona.

‘Profound loss’

Williams, who has three children and two grandchildren, has felt at a loss when watching mothers in Gaza mourn their daughters and sons. World leaders have failed Gaza, she said.

Holding back tears, she said, “All these politicians are fathers, mothers, aunties, uncles. They have children within their immediate family, and I can’t for the life of me understand how this is allowed to carry on.

“I find it’s the average person that’s showing sort of empathy if you like, and I don’t find that the politicians are calling it out at all.”

The gown won a people’s award in January at Galeri Caernarfon, an arts space in Caernarfon, Wales. Williams donated the prize money to Medical Aid for Palestinians. It has been exhibited elsewhere in Wales and has been shortlisted to be displayed at the National Eisteddfod, an annual cultural festival.

The suffering of Gaza’s Christian minority moved Williams, especially after she read about parents rushing to baptise their babies, driven by fear of their deaths.

“I don’t think anything has touched me as much as Gaza, to be honest, and I feel I have to do something,” she said.

Later this year, the empty gown adorned with the names of the war’s smallest victims is to be displayed in Paris and appear on a billboard in New York.

“It’s the actual emptiness and the profound loss that you feel because of it,” she said. “I think it’s sort of opened up a wider debate really about what is actually happening.” %!s()
