After her encouraging pace but bad luck at Silverstone and her pole position & race win at Spa I'm looking forward to seeing If she can keep that momentum up this weekend and climb up the standings.

It should also be a dry weekend to allow them to fit all 3 races in.

Last year she took 10th, 9th and 9th place finishes and she improves with experience.

​

The most extreme element of this new arsenal is the updated “Macarena” wing.

Pairing a refined version of that flip-flop wing with a new low-drag diffuser suggests Ferrari is going all-in on shedding air resistance for the sweeping, high-speed layout of Silverstone.

While throwing new hardware at the SF-26 sounds great on paper, it actually amplifies the exact problem that ruined Ferrari’s weekend in Spielberg.

Vasseur explicitly admitted that Ferrari paid the ultimate price in Austria because they failed to execute long, data-gathering stints during Friday practice.

There will also only be 1 practice session at Silverstone to get the upgrades working and the set up correct.

The team qualified well but suffered a post qualifying penalty putting them deep in the pack.

She put in stints that matched the leading pace on their climb back up to an overall P5 finish

Thursday evening's qualifying showcased the strength of the AF Corse line-up: across the three qualifying sessions, the #50 Ferrari secured fifth overall in the combined classification, comfortably progressing into Friday's Superpole shootout. Wadoux played a crucial role in that success, setting the fastest lap of the trio during her Q2 segment, where she was second overall.

She and her teammates are racing the #50 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO.

She had placed the car 3rd overall on the starting grid before penalties changed the order and they started in 28th.

Wadoux is one of four women on the 2026 Spa 24 Hours grid. Sarah Bovy returns to her home event in the #700 Comtoyou Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in the Pro-Am category, Michelle Gatting makes a one-off entry with the #97 Rutronik Racing Porsche in Bronze, and full-season entry Carrie Schreiner is back in the #88 Tresor Attempto Racing Audi for the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup flagship round.

Lia Block finished in 2nd place just under 10 seconds short of the winner Seth Quintero.

​

Block won the final stage of the forest rally.

​

She now leads the championship with 5 rounds to go.

​

It's been a very impressive year so far with a DNF due to a very late mechanical failure while fighting for the sno drift win, two 3rd places and a 2nd place.

​

It feels like the first win is not too far away.

I wondered when I made it If there would be many others with a genuine interest in this area and how many hateful or dismissive comments there would be.

​

Since starting the sub about 5 weeks back it has been really positive to see everyone's contributions and interests here.

THAT lap in qualifying.

​

Then hunting down a faster car on an aggressive 3 stop full speed ahead strategy.

​

Clearing Piastri around the outside in an instant.

​

Then somehow leaving the dominant Mercedes for dust at about a second a lap with only a 4 lap tyre advantage.

​

It felt like watching peak Hamilton today
