Box Box Box is BACK after the summer shutdown — and F1 wasted no time serving up chaos. Dom and Sam return with the biggest bombshell of the season: Cadillac confirming Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez as their 2026 drivers. Yep, two of the grid’s most experienced #2s are leading America’s newest F1 squad.

We dive deep into: 🏎️ The Cadillac lineup — smart experience or too safe? 🏁 Bottas & Perez career spotlights (aka Captain Mustache & The Smooth Operator’s rival). 🔮 Post-shutdown predictions — who’s about to rise, who’s about to break? 📉 Famous mid-season collapses: Vettel, Leclerc, Ricciardo, and Red Bull déjà vu. 🌧️ Dutch GP preview — Max under pressure at home, McLaren’s title fight, and who thrives if it rains.

Plus: Dom finds Lance Stroll merch at Costco, Toto’s taking a step back at Mercedes, and we’re asking the big question — could McLaren’s harmony explode between Oscar and Lando?

It’s high-energy, it’s unfiltered, and it’s F1 chaos at its finest.
