2026 Barcelona GP: A Return to the Top Step

Join us this week on the Brakedown where we talk all things Barcelona. This track a brand new Hamilton out: refreshed and ready to take the fight to Mercedes. And fight he did! Hamilton has one his first race with Ferrari (first of many we hope). With another Mercedes DNF (we won't spoil who) will there be a championship battle this year? However, this is yet another race where not all 22 cars finish.. Will we get a race where all the cars finish in 2026, whos to say.

Formula One’s most prestigious race has come and gone, and Kimi Antonelli has won the Monaco Grand Prix at just nineteen years old! Join us on this episode of the Brakedown as we discuss a full restart, seven cars out of the race, ripped up tarmac and the glitz and glamour off-track that all lead to an unexpectedly exciting Sunday in Monaco.  Link to NY Times Article on the ripped up track:  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7340289/2026/06/07/monaco-track-damage-f1-leclerc-crash/ Join our Fantasy League: https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/P3LXFCDFK07 [https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/P3LXFCDFK07] League Code: P3LXFCDFK07 Have thoughts to share?

2026 Canadian GP: That Was Naughty

Montreal, my absolute fave, you delivered this past week. The Habs are even with the South Carolina Hurricanes, the Victoire won the Walter Cup, and F1 has more DNF’s than I do dollars in my bank account. 👏🏻 Join us on this week’s episode of The Brakedown as we discuss the hockey/F1 crossover this weekend, the updates brought to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and the increasingly heated rivalry in the Mercedes garages.

2026 Miami GP: We are so back!

Williams in the top 10? No Aston DNF’s? Competitive Ferraris and McLarens? This must be the good place.  Join us this week on The Brakedown to discuss all the gritty details of the Miami Grand Prix. The regulation updates improved both qualifying and one-track racing, reducing harvesting and limiting battery power influence. Ferrari and McLaren both developed substantial updates throughout the month, and came in swinging against the still-mighty-but-slightly-less-so Mercedes.

2026 Japan GP: So A Mercedes, A McLaren, and A Ferrari Walk Into A Bar…

Kimi Antonelli is leading the driver’s championship. That's right, the 19-year old Italian is making his country (and his team) proud! Not only that, the Japanese Grand Prix also gave us Oscar Piastri’s first race start of the season (Spoiler Alert: It's a podium finish too!). Join us on this episode of The Brakedown as we discuss all the off-track news you might have missed - race cancellations, Adrian Newey and Johnathan Wheatley controversy, and changes to qualifying regulations. We’ll dissect the race itself and dive into Mercedes’ comeback (can you call it a comeback if they started on pole and fluffed the start?), as well as our rising stress levels from Ferrari, and seeing the unfortunate effect of this new energy-harvesting mode in the form of Ollie Bearman’s crash.
