Papaya Rulez

from Ahead At The Apex · host Josh and Tim

This week on Ahead At The Apex, we are delving into whether McLaren broke their own Papaya Rules at the Hungarian Grand Prix by giving the advantage to Lando Norris. We also take a look at how this season has gotten away from George Russell and whether Mercedes can hold on to their advantage post-Summer Break. Finally, have we misjudged the 2026 regulations too soon? We've had some pretty good races lately, perhaps we were wrong. In This Week's Episode: Papaya Rulez: It may have been the right thing to do, but is it the McLaren thing to do? Mercedes Breakdowns: There's been a failure at nearly every race, can they hold on? Too Soon?: Did we judge the 2026 regulations too harshly? Stay Ahead: Get the latest reports from the all GPs at ⁠aheadattheapex.com⁠ or visit out ⁠linktree⁠.
