Oscar Piastri RETURNS at Spa looking like a WDC if we’ve ever seen one. The McLaren drama/dominance continues, and it looks like we’re officially entering our Max Verstappen fan era? We unpack how the most dominant driver on the grid is suddenly giving main character energy in all the right ways, and what’s changed in how fans (and we) are seeing him.

Meanwhile, Albon & Sainz brought the heat on different days aka the Williams Little Engines That Could. And Cadillac appears to have locked in a lineup that reads Bridesmaids in the best way.

Plus: Hungary predictions, the future of Red Bull, and a pulse check on Mercedes and Haas (are they doing okay?)

Next up, Hungaroring!

Christian Horner is OUT — and the F1 world may never be the same. We break down what finally pushed Red Bull to act, how long this has really been brewing, and what it means for the team’s future. Is Max headed to Mercedes? And if so, what happens to Poor George?

Plus: Is Yuki quietly winning the Hunger Games? Does this echo the Andretti/Cadillac/Audi of it all? Change is clearly coming — and fast.

We celebrate HULKENBERG’S FIRST PODIUM (!!!), get into the tightening drivers’ championship, and yes, McLaren’s simmering team tension. Also: early reactions to the F1 movie and Apple’s giant bet on the sport.

Next up, Spa after a little summer holiday! If you're in Sardinia, you might get the early Toto / Max scoop 😉

We have to talk about the man of the hour — and depending on the hour, that’s either Oscar Piastri exuding dominance, or Lewis Hamilton, who slayed Met Gala hosting just hours after a brutal weekend on track.

Is the season already in the bag for OP and McLaren? Is Lando drifting toward Danny Ric territory — the beloved culture carrier left behind? Or could a major shakeup (hello, Cadillac) still be in the cards?

We get into the Williams turnaround, Max’s girldad glow-up, Ferrari chaos, team drama galore, and F1’s Rookie Era renaissance.

Next up: Imola — and one new face on the grid. Welcome back, Franco Colapinto.

Three races, a new driver’s championship favorite, and LOTS of rumors — it’s been a busy month in F1. We talk about the changing of the tide at McLaren and what Papaya Rules 2.0 should look like in the reign of Piastri. Can Lando get his head in the game and change the momentum?

Meanwhile, Max pulled out a miracle in Suzuka. Is it enough to keep him at Red Bull or is Daddy Stroll’s offer (of $300M) one he can’t refuse? The Newey of it all!

More drama at Red Bull with a second seat that has 2 points all season. Will Yuki make it to the podium? Could Hadjar get an upgrade (downgrade) this season?

A rookie rundown, the potential return of Seb and George memes — it’s all here before we head stateside for Miami!

We are only two races in and 2025 already looks like it’s going to be a wild season in F1 . McLaren’s dominance is clear but which driver will take the top step before team orders descend? And while they’re duking it out, will Max or George pick up the scraps on their way to the top of the driver rankings.

Speaking of the battle in the front, Yuki is officially IN at Red Bull, leaving Liam in his dust after only TWO races. Is this just Hunger Games a la Christian, or is this actually Checo’s revenge? What does it all mean, now that Horner's fate might be in Yuki’s hands?

Finally, the best of the rest is a race of its own! Williams, Haas, Racing Bulls, Aston. There have been glimmers of hope in each as the whole grid tightens. We talk through our updated thoughts and reactions before we head to Japan in a little over a week for some sushi and Yuki's Red Bull debut!

Preseason testing in Bahrain is over, sandbagging and all, and there are vastly different strategies for this season 1) ahead of the new regs next year and 2) with 6 rookies on the grid.

After unpacking that, we dive into the 2025 season with our predictions. Who will win the constructors and drivers championship? Could this be the end of Max’s reign? Best of the rest? Rookie of the year? Who would we most and least want to be?

To get more detailed, we got into which teammates we think will win (LANDOSCAR & papaya rules, we’re looking at you) and who might get Hunger Games-ed mid season. And will Hamilton’s big bet pay off?

This is shaping up to a 🌶️ spicy season 🌶️ and we are here for it 👏

See ya down under in just a few days!

There are SIX(ish) rookies on the grid, after a year with no change. Even the ones we thought we knew, we didn’t really know. This cohort of Gen Z frenemies brings new drama: Doohan’s seat is already up for grabs and the season hasn’t even started! Ollie Bearman: a star is born with The Bear Necessities! Cue an ex-girlfriend fiasco a la Ocon & Gasly with another driver on track?

Bortoleto v "Le Petit Prost" is our next epic battle. And there’s always the existential question of Liam vs. Red Bull hanging in the bounds.

After a deep preview of our rookies, we talk about best and worst team dynamics and who will likely be our star rookies of the year.

We’ll be back after pre-season testing with predictions in just a few weeks!

McLaren takes it to the wire but wins the constructors championship for the first time since ’98! Charles is emo but Sainz stays classy. We look at the final race, the winners and losers and the implications for next year which shakes up the grid completely.

We also circle back to our drivers champion Max who’s in his Daddy era. And maybe making other major life moves too? Has VCARB been mismanaged, and could Red Bull survive Max leaving? Will Checo make $$ on his way out?

In a season of change, there’s no perfect way to sign off the year than a good old “Rose, Thorn” rendition. Curious to hear y’all’s as well!

Happy Holidays! We’ll be back some off-season coverage and pre-season testing before you know it.
