We break down the chao in the Formula 1 world right now and discuss why we want a BRAKE from the drama caused by the new regulations!

We discuss:

👉 Mercedes have an advantage with McLaren, Williams and Alpine using their engines providing invaluable driver data.

👉 Ollie Bearman's crash in the Japanese GP due to large closing speed with Franco Colapinto highlighting the safety concerns with the new regulations.

👉 Ferrari's strong start to the season with Lewis Hamilton getting his first podium in red in China after a run race battle with Charles Leclern.

👉 Aston Martin with the Honda engine are struggling as Adrian Newey steps down as Team Principal.

👉 Fernando Alonso's happy news off the track (nothing to celebrate on the track)

👉 Cadillac have made a huge investment to join the sport with their potential still unclear.

👉 Max Verstappen is NOT happy, he doesn't like the new regulations, Red Bull have not adapted very well. Max is oversharing his thoughts on wanting to leave the sport and pursue other forms of motor racing.

👉 Kimi Antonelli is leading the championship and is the youngest to do it, but would he be ahead if his team mate was Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz and not George Russell?
