Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton ensured Ferrari left testing  week in Barcelona with a morale-boosting final day at Barcelona's  private event: Hamilton set a 1:16.348 late on Friday, quicker than the 1:16.445 produced by George Russell and Mercedes on Thursday, to mark the conclusion of F1's  behind-closed-doors five-day test, with two more to follow next month in Bahrain. As always so early in testing, headline times can be misleading. Of more encouragement to Ferrari, Hamilton and Charles Leclerc combined 145 laps across the day. Reigning world champions McLaren also had a solid day of mileage, with Norris and Piastri combining for 166 laps between them, while also dipping into the 1:16s with a time 0.25s slower than Hamilton's ... the usual caveats apply. 

F1, the Formula One movie starring Brad Pitt, has been nominated for four Oscars. The movie has been nominated for the prestigious Best Picture, in addition to Best Film Editing, Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. Alongside F1 in the Best Picture category are Bugonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners and Train Dreams. F1 was released in 2025 and features Pitt as protagonist Sonny Hayes, a once promising young driver who returns to the sport to drive for his friend’s failing, fictional F1 team, APXGP. Damson Idris plays Hayes’ rookie team-mate Joshua Pearce. It was co-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who appears in the film alongside multiple current F1 drivers, including Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
