#004 - Box of Neutrals - Demystifying the Most Open F1 Season in Years

The newest members of the Muscle Cat Media stable - the Box of Neutrals F1 pod hosted by Michael Lamonato and Rob James - join Curt for a rambling preview of the 2026 Formula One season. Are Aussies over the Piastri vs Lando controversy from 2025? How will new boys Audi and Cadillac go? Who won pre-season - Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren or Red Bull? Will Max Verstappen really leave F1? Are South Australians really so petty in their hatred for Victoria that they’d steal the MotoGP? Rob and Michael broke new ground in the F1 podcasting world when they debuted the show 16 years ago. Since then, they’ve amassed a big and loyal following in Australia, the USA and beyond. Timestamps:00:00 Are Aussies over the Piastri-Norris tension?02:40 Who is the team to beat?07:10 The Aston Martin Debacle11:55 Where do Audi and Cadillac fit?17:30 Modern Liveries20:13 Is Drive to Survive overdone?26:40 Verstappen’s future31:45 Is the season too long?35:30 MotoGP’s SA v Vic fight52:14 How BoN was built-Listen to Box of Neutrals on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1xAehQjlUW8cResQExWyVi Listen to Box of Neutrals on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/box-of-neutrals-f1-podcast/id643163694 Follow Box of Neutrals on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boxofneutrals/ Join the Box of Neutrals Discord: https://discord.com/channels/759691730722357258/886890339191914567 -Follow Curt Can't Talk everywhere at the handle CurtCantTalk.https://www.instagram.com/curtcanttalk/ https://www.tiktok.com/@curtcanttalk  https://www.facebook.com/curtcanttalk/ -#f1 #formulaone #lando #piastri #verstappen #australiangp
