The 2026 season opener did not disappoint. Today on Lights Out Lounge, we break down everything from the Melbourne Grand Prix and react to an incredible first race of the season. We discuss the early dominance from Mercedes, the promising pace from Ferrari (along with the return of some very familiar strategy calls), and a tough weekend for home hero, Oscar Piastri. We also check back in on our Lights Out Lottery and see how our predictions held up after the first race of the year. What a way to start the season.
