Ferrari's Big Weekend: Confusing Practice, and a Hamilton Contract Bombshell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ferrari topped FP1, Mercedes topped FP2, and neither result tells the full story at Monza. In this episode, I break down both practice sessions, Ferrari's brand-new power unit debuting at the fastest track on the calendar, and the real headline of the weekend reports that Lewis Hamilton is about to extend his Ferrari contract, possibly through 2028, right before the team's biggest home race of the year. Plus what it means for Oscar Piastri's rough start to the weekend and the championship fight
MOM: The System That Replaced DRS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DRS is gone. After twelve years, the flap that decided most F1 overtakes has been replaced by something built entirely around the battery. In this episode, I break down Manual Override Mode how it actually works, why the lead car can now genuinely defend against it, and what "derating" is when you see a car mysteriously lose speed mid-straight. A follow-up to my most-listened episode ever, DRS, and the perfect explainer if the new overtaking rules have you confused.
Why Verstappen Might Quit F1 Before He Ever Joins McLaren (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oscar Piastri just got pulled into the Verstappen to McLaren saga but his manager says it's "nonsense." I break down the Piastri exit rumor, Verstappen's stalling McLaren move, his scary rear wing failures, and my honest take on where this driver market drama is really headed before Spa.
Why F1 Feels Different in 2026: The Rules Explained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something feels different about F1 this year, and it's not just in your head. In this episode, I break down exactly what changed in the sport's biggest rule overhaul in over a decade the new engines with nearly triple the electric power, wings that move automatically instead of just for overtaking, and smaller, lighter cars. Plus, why drivers like Max Verstappen say it doesn't feel like Formula 1 anymore. A clear, no-jargon explainer on the 2026 rules and why they matter.
Is Max Verstappen's Red Bull Drama Real, or a Power Play? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Red Bull's own management is reportedly furious with Max Verstappen and now there's serious sabbatical talk, just weeks after he flatly denied it himself. In this episode, I break down what's actually confirmed, why this contradiction matters, and my honest take on whether this is real frustration or one of the smartest negotiating tactics in F1. Plus: why even a fed-up Verstappen might not have anywhere better to go right now anyway.
