The Hills of Zandvoort are Alive (with Emotion)

Formula Wrapped: Max Girlies, McLaren Mysteries & What’s Next

It’s the end of the longest season of F1 yet and we’re going full Formula Wrapped. MVPs, favorite moments, biggest surprises, and the storylines that actually defined the season. We finally crack the McLaren mystery of what really happened with Piastri—the turning point no one fully explained all year.  Somewhere along the way, we both became Max & Red Bull girlies. We're acknowledging it, processing it, moving through it. What made this the season Max went from inevitable to… oddly compelling? Looking ahead: who’s set up to be world champion over the next few years—and what does that mean for Lando? Was this a one-and-done fairytale, or the quiet beginning of a real era? And finally, offseason watch. 2026 means reg changes, Cadillac on the grid, team principal makeovers and much more. In the meantime, have a wild winter break—we'll see y'all before you know it for another round of predictions!  For more high-octane content, send us your race reactions or dish out some F1 tea: twitter: @modepushf1 instagram: @modepushf1 web: www.mode-push-f1.com [http://www.mode-push-f1.com/] e-mail: modepushf1@gmail.com [modepushf1@gmail.com]

The Lando Era Begins (Again)

Lando’s comeback is giving redemption arc energy, and the momentum shift is real. Meanwhile, Mercedes is storming back into the fight for 2nd in the constructors. Will Ferrari hold on? Or do all roads lead back to the Verstappen of it all?  Max is radiating unexpected girldad calm while Jos plays Little Finger to Piastri’s rise.  On the biz side, Mercedes’ new valuation just redefined the price of prestige. And finally, Viva Las Vegas: street lights, slipstreams, and high-stakes predictions for F1’s most theatrical weekend. Expect drama, desert temperatures, and at least one DNF that’ll break someone’s heart.

The Hills of Zandvoort are Alive (with Emotion)

Oscar Piastri looked unstoppable at Zandvoort, giving off some low key WDC energy. Meanwhile, Hadjar locks in Rookie of the Year with a heartwarming podium, and Antonelli and Lawson are racking up penalties (and travel bans?) like it’s a new F1 tradition. Italy won’t let Kimi in for punting Leclerc? Spain / Sainz shuts the door on Lawson? The drama is continental. Also: insane returns on the business side as Middle Eastern stakes in Aston and McLaren grow — and the sport’s financial engine starts to look just as turbocharged as the grid. Plus: Cadillac’s lineup is giving Bridesmaids (and we love it). Next up, Monza! Predictions included for a more Ferrari friendly weekend. Aside from Charles’ moody hill stint in the Netherlands, which looked like the makings of a piano sequel album.

Max Is Main Character Energy Now?

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!

The House of Horner Falls

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 😉 For more high-octane content, send us your race reactions or dish out some F1 tea: twitter: @modepushf1 instagram: @modepushf1 web: www.mode-push-f1.com [http://www.mode-push-f1.com/] e-mail: modepushf1@gmail.com [modepushf1@gmail.com]
