F1 2026 season predictions are HERE. In this Formula America Formula 1 podcast episode, we predict the top 3 constructors, bottom 3 teams, top 3 drivers in the championship, biggest fall-off, biggest standout, and our wildcard pick heading into the new F1 season.

We're back after a few weeks off — and we're not easing into it.

We break down:

🏆 Our Top 3 Constructors for 2026
📉 The Bottom 3 Teams (someone has to say it…)
🥇 Top 3 Drivers in the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship
⬇️ Biggest Fall-Off Candidate
🚀 Biggest Breakout / Standout Driver
🎲 Our Wildcard Pick That Could Flip the Grid

And yes… we also discuss the potential impact of rising tensions with Iran on the Middle Eastern F1 races — what happens if the calendar gets disrupted, and how Formula 1 might respond if the geopolitical situation escalates.

Because this season isn't just about pace — it's about uncertainty.

Expect bold takes. Questionable logic. Confident predictions we will absolutely pretend we never made if they age poorly.

We're officially kicking off the 2026 Formula 1 season — and this week we're dropping heat with TWO more episodes coming.

The offseason is over.
