Episode 42: Testing is over, who's the going to dominate the season?
from The Unhinged Podcast
Tyler and Josh are back breaking down everything we learned (and didn’t learn) from F1 testing — and why this season feels more unpredictable than ever.From regulation changes to weird track conditions, we’re digging into the question marks hanging over the grid. Energy management looks wildly different from team to team, qualifying feels like a total unknown, and we’re already bracing for some chaotic wheel-to-wheel moments. We also get into how fuel suppliers could quietly shape the pecking order.Right now, Mercedes and Red Bull look sharp. McLaren and Aston Martin? Not so much. We talk through what’s going wrong at Aston, the Honda situation, and whether the struggles are bigger than just one season. Could things get bad enough for major changes? We’re not ruling anything out.We also debate whether Lewis would ever actually leave Mercedes (and why we don’t see a Ferrari return happening), what George Russell’s long-term future looks like, and which veteran drivers might be nearing the end of their F1 careers. Plus: Audi vs. Cadillac — who has the better first year? Let’s just say… we don’t agree.There’s also a quick detour into NASCAR, other series, and what life after racing might look like for some of the biggest names on the grid.Big predictions. Questionable takes. A little chaos. Just how we like it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
