Miami Grand Prix 2026: Kimi Antonelli Dominates, McLaren’s Comeback & Ferrari’s Late Drama

Formula 1 is officially back, and the 2026 Miami Grand Prix did not disappoint after a long and unexpected four-week break. Kimi Antonelli delivered a near-perfect weekend, securing his third consecutive Grand Prix victory from pole position, fending off strong competition from Lando Norris. Meanwhile, McLaren made a powerful return to form with a double podium finish and Lando Norris’s sprint win, while Ferrari’s race unravelled in dramatic fashion. In this episode, we break down all the key moments from Miami, including Antonelli’s growing dominance, McLaren’s resurgence, Charles Leclerc’s costly penalty, safety car chaos, retirements, and everything in between. We’re diving into the biggest questions in F1 right now: * Is Kimi Antonelli on track to win the 2026 World Championship, even with George Russell as Mercedes’ number one driver? Could team dynamics and driver favouritism become a factor? * Has Formula 1 lost its edge when it comes to rivalries since the intensity of 2021? * Why has F1’s TV coverage been missing crucial moments, and is it getting worse? * Could Max Verstappen really be considering retirement at the end of 2026? * And of course… who takes the titles of Prick, Grand, and Grand Prick for the Miami GP? Plus, we catch you up on everything we got up to during the break (whether you asked for it or not). We'll be back with more episodes all about F1 so make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it!

The Grand Pricks Culture Files: The F1 Hot Guy Complex & Why Attractive Drivers Have Always Won in Formula 1

Why are Formula 1 drivers seen as some of the hottest athletes in sport, and why has that always been part of the business of F1? With glossy hair, gym physiques, and the global obsession with drivers like Charles Leclerc, fan attraction has become a huge part of modern Formula 1 culture. But this trend didn’t start with social media or  Drive to Survive. In this episode of The Grand Pricks Culture Files, we dive into the history of the “F1 Hot Guy Complex” and explore how driver attractiveness has influenced sponsorship deals, brand marketing, fan engagement, and the sport's commercial growth for decades. We discuss how long F1 drivers have been used in advertising and sponsorship campaigns, which current drivers generate the most revenue through social media and global popularity, which driver fans rate as the most attractive, and why charisma and image can matter just as much as speed in modern Formula 1.  Plus, in our new debate-style format, expect fun questions, pop quizzes, hot takes, and our own attractiveness rating challenge (spoiler: one of us scored higher than Charles Leclerc!)  This is more than just a funny conversation. It’s a deep dive into how looks, fame, and marketing shape Formula 1.

The Grand Pricks Culture Files: The Truth About F1 Fandoms, Drive to Survive & Toxic Fan Culture

The Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix may be off the 2026 Formula 1 calendar, but Grand Pricks isn’t going anywhere. We’re back with another Culture Files episode, this time taking a deep dive into the ever-evolving world of F1 fandoms. From viral TikTok edits and stan culture to Wattpad fanfiction and driver “ships,” we explore the creative, chaotic, and often hilarious side of the Formula 1 fanbase. But it’s not all fun and games. We also unpack the darker side of the community: online toxicity, harassment on social media, and the relentless criticism aimed at drivers and F1 WAGs. A major focus of this episode is the impact of Netflix’s Drive to Survive. We break down how the series has transformed Formula 1 culture, bringing in a new generation of fans, increasing global popularity, and injecting huge commercial growth into the sport. But with that growth comes consequences; drivers are no longer just athletes; they’ve become public figures, personalities, and characters, constantly under the microscope and open to criticism in ways we’ve never seen before. We ask the big questions: Has Drive to Survive made F1 better or more toxic? And where do we draw the line between passionate fandom and harmful behaviour?  With three weeks to go until the Miami Grand Prix, Grand Pricks is keeping the content coming with insightful, unfiltered conversations like this.
