The streets of Azerbaijan turned into a game of “who can keep it out of the wall?” and Carlos Sainz showed everyone how it’s done. In this week’s Formula Fools, David and Skin break down Sainz’s podium heroics in the Williams, a Racing Bulls double points haul, and a McLaren weekend to forget — yes, Oscar, we’re looking at you.

Skin’s hot takes dive into the wild qualifying session, why wind suddenly became F1’s biggest enemy, and whether Oscar’s rough weekend says more about pressure or perspective. Plus, Driver of the Day, Biggest Letdown, and a chat on why Mercedes quietly pulled off one of their best weekends of the season.

It’s gurus, fools, and everything in between — Azerbaijan style.

The ground-effect era is on its last lap, and Formula 1 is about to hit the reset button. In 2026, the sport is getting smaller, lighter cars, radical new active aerodynamics, and power units that are 50% battery, 50% engine. Oh, and don’t forget sustainable fuel, an overtaking boost button, and some safety upgrades that could change how crashes are handled.

In this episode, the Fools break down the biggest rule shake-up since 2014 — from scrapping DRS for X-Mode and Z-Mode, to the insane jump in electric power, to whether 30% less downforce really means better racing. Will this revolution bring wheel-to-wheel action back to classic tracks like Monaco, or just give drivers even more buttons to press?

The Italian Grand Prix gave us drama from the start to the finish, with McLaren’s call to swap Lando and Oscar stealing the spotlight. Was the team protecting their star, or just undoing a botched pit stop? We dive into why Piastri looked so aggressive, why everyone thinks turn 1 is the place to send it, and how Max somehow went from giving up places to cruising to a huge victory.

Plus, we ask the real questions: Did Sainz dodge a penalty he should’ve had? What on earth does a suspension failure mean for Alonso (and why did it have to be him)? And why is Lawson once again taking “no prisoners” a bit too literally with Tsunoda?

Strap in as we break down the chaos, the strategy, and the very questionable decisions from Monza.

It was a Hungarian Grand Prix full of head-scratchers and hot takes — from Leclerc’s shock pole to his mysterious chassis collapse, to McLaren’s strategy masterclass (or was it sabotage?) that left Oscar fans fuming.

David breaks down how Ferrari managed to undo a front-row start, Hamilton’s bizarre post-quali comments, and whether Red Bull are in real trouble. Meanwhile, Skin’s asking all the big questions: was Oscar stitched up? Did Norris just wing it? And what even is a chassis problem?

Plus, surprise pace from Alonso and Bortoleto, Williams disappearing entirely, and Max Verstappen gets called out in the Fool segment.

Buckle up for a drenched and dramatic Belgian Grand Prix as David breaks down a wet and wild weekend at Spa — where Lewis Hamilton rose from the pit lane to deliver a race-day clinic. Oscar Piastri nailed his restart, Alex Albon turned defence into an art form, and Ferrari somehow got a strategy right (yes, really).

Meanwhile, Lando Norris had another weekend to forget, with costly errors and coaching overload casting doubt on his title credentials. Skin asks all the right questions — from rolling starts to battery clipping to why tire degradation sounds like falling off a cliff. Plus, we hand out Guru of the Week and crown this round’s Formula Fool.

It’s slippery, it’s savage, and it’s Spa. Let’s get foolish.

This week, the unthinkable finally happened: Nico Hülkenberg stood on a Formula 1 podium… and the entire motorsport world wept with joy. In his 239th race, starting from P19, the Hulk pulled off a strategic masterclass to secure P3 at Silverstone and we break down every glorious detail.

Elsewhere, Lando Norris won in front of the home crowd (with a little help from the stewards), Oscar got hit with a harsh penalty (and hit back with some press conference sass), and Max had one of his weirdest weekends in a while. Plus: Ferrari confusion, Mercedes misery, and some truly iconic Skin Hot Takes, including whether Nico is actually the greatest driver of all time.

We also hand out our Hero and Fool of the Day, question the FIA’s penalty logic, and try to figure out how the hell Lance Stroll went from P4 to P7 in two laps.

This week, David and Skin break down a blockbuster Austrian Grand Prix that saw McLaren deliver a dominant 1-2 finish – and maybe Lando’s best race of the year. From Norris securing the biggest pole gap of the season to Piastri’s slick move on Leclerc, it was a weekend that underlined the papaya resurgence.

We unpack how Liam Lawson embarrassed the Red Bulls on their home turf, why Ferrari looked sharper compared to Canada, and what on earth happened to Williams after such a promising start. Skin’s Hot Takes cover everything from Carlos Sainz’s fiery brake drama to Antonelli’s bowling ball impression – and yes, there’s a story about a Supra in second gear.

Plus: Kick Sauber’s sensational points haul, Christian Horner’s unforgettable exhaust pipe quote, and our picks for Driver of the Day and the biggest letdown.
