The Brakedown

Williams in the top 10? No Aston DNF’s? Competitive Ferraris and McLarens? This must be the good place. Join us this week on The Brakedown to discuss all the gritty details of the Miami Grand Prix. The regulation updates improved both qualifying and one-track racing, reducing harvesting and limiting battery power influence. Ferrari and McLaren both developed substantial updates throughout the month, and came in swinging against the still-mighty-but-slightly-less-so Mercedes.Link for F1 Article on Regulation Changes: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/refinements-to-2026-f1-regulations-agreed-by-all-stakeholders.1xA0TRau0DvyId6R7oZjFvJoin our Fantasy League:https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/P3LXFCDFK07League Code: P3LXFCDFK07Have thoughts to share?

Kimi Antonelli is leading the driver’s championship. That's right, the 19-year old Italian is making his country (and his team) proud! Not only that, the Japanese Grand Prix also gave us Oscar Piastri’s first race start of the season (Spoiler Alert: It's a podium finish too!).Join us on this episode of The Brakedown as we discuss all the off-track news you might have missed - race cancellations, Adrian Newey and Johnathan Wheatley controversy, and changes to qualifying regulations. We’ll dissect the race itself and dive into Mercedes’ comeback (can you call it a comeback if they started on pole and fluffed the start?), as well as our rising stress levels from Ferrari, and seeing the unfortunate effect of this new energy-harvesting mode in the form of Ollie Bearman’s crash.

Join us on this episode of The Brakedown as we discuss Antonelli’s first win, Hamilton and Leclerc finally getting to stretch their racing legs, and McLaren… absolutely losing the plot :( *DNS: Did Not Start (driver did not start the race)*DNF: Did Not Finish (driver did not finish all laps of the race)Join our Fantasy League:https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/P3LXFCDFK07League Code: P3LXFCDFK07Have thoughts to share?

Number of kangaroos seen during the race: 0. Number of Oscar Piastris seen during the race: 0.That's right, the Australian Grand Prix saw its only home-race driver crash out before things even got started.

Speaking of regulations, this was also our first look at the kind of racing we can expect to see over the next five years.
