  • Too soon for Toto Wolff to pick a favourite driver?
    May 7 2026

    When your teenage driver keeps beating your pre-season favourite, what do you do?! Kimi Antonelli won his third Grand Prix in Miami ahead of teammate George Russell and it's thrown up a load of questions at Mercedes.

    How is Toto Wolff going to manage the championship now? Should Kimi be treated as the team's number one driver? Could Max Verstappen come sniffing for Russell's seat if he doesn't start winning again?

    And later... is the FIA President right to bring back the noisier V8 engines?

    May 4 2026

    Kimi Antonelli wins his third Grand Prix of the season in Miami! The McLarens, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, complete the podium in a thrilling race, where the lead changed five times.

  • Mid-season, new rules... Has F1 listened?
    Apr 23 2026

    The fans and drivers have spoken and F1 has listened. They’ve announced updates to the new rules ahead of the Miami Grand Prix.

    But what do the super technical updates actually mean? Should you need an engineering degree to understand your favourite sport? Will they take us back to "real racing"? Will it be safer for drivers after Ollie Bearman's 190mph crash? And are these tweaks enough to stop Max Verstappen leaving F1?
