Everyone Is Copying Ferrari: F1’s 2026 Development War

Dutch F1 GP Race REVIEW

A chaotic Dutch Grand Prix gives us plenty to unpack. Max Verstappen crashes early, McLaren’s tyre management and Piastri’s strategy unravel, Ferrari waste Hamilton’s tyre offset and Mercedes spark controversy with team orders between Russell and Antonelli. We also dig into the late Williams clash, the penalties and retirements, Lawson taking the fight to Verstappen, and Nico Hülkenberg emerging as our Formula 1.5 winner after a seriously impressive weekend. ⭐Missed Apex Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@missedapexf1 ⭐ Spanners https://x.com/SpannersReady https://bsky.app/profile/spannersready.bsky.social ⭐Matt Trumpets https://x.com/mattpt55 https://bsky.app/profile/mattpt55.bsky.social Ways To Support Missed Apex: ✅ Join our Patreon to gain access to our exclusive Patreon Only Discord Chat + Bonus Content We Only Exist Due to Our Patron Support https://www.patreon.com/MissedApex ✅ Leave a tip https://missedapexpodcast.com/tipjar On Tonight’s Show: ⭐ Spanners https://x.com/SpannersReady https://bsky.app/profile/spannersready.bsky.social ⭐Matt Trumpets https://x.com/mattpt55 https://bsky.app/profile/mattpt55.bsky.social ⭐ Jules Seegers https://bsky.app/profile/julesonracing.bsky.social Give us a shout on WhatsApp!

Everyone Is Copying Ferrari: F1’s 2026 Development War

Trumpets is joined by the Titan of Tech, Matthew Summerfield, for a forensic review of the first half of F1’s 2026 development battle. Why has Ferrari set the technical pace, how have Racing Bulls quietly impressed, and where have Williams, Haas and Aston Martin gone wrong? They explore Macarena wings, hanger flaps, Alpine’s pod winglets, tyre-pressure politics, customer-team compromises and the FIA rule changes already coming for 2027. Who has truly understood the new regulations, and who is effectively using the rest of 2026 as an extended test session? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
