Episode notes

Something feels different about F1 this year, and it's not just in your head.

Plus, why drivers like Max Verstappen say it doesn't feel like Formula 1 anymore. A clear, no-jargon explainer on the 2026 rules and why they matter.

Plus what it means for Oscar Piastri's rough start to the weekend and the championship fight after a dramatic Dutch GP. My honest take on why the timing of this contract news is no accident.

A follow-up to my most-listened episode ever, DRS, and the perfect explainer if the new overtaking rules have you confused.
