Red Bull used Isack Hadjar to help Max Verstappen in Spa...now? He went even further beyond!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsRed Bull arrived at the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix with a clear plan for Isack Hadjar...but by Sunday evening, team boss Laurent Mekies was calling it Hadjar's best race for Red Bull. AND THEN he called the Verstappen-Hadjar lineup the 'ideal pairing' for Red Bull. What does that mean for Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad? Well, it's not good news for them. For Isack? This is GREAT news. He's become his own man within Verstappen's team. #f1 #formula1 #redbull #redbullracing #isackhadjar #hadjar #maxverstappen #verstappen #belgiangp #spa #f12026 #liamlawson #arvidlindblad #racingbulls #mekies #lawvs #f1news #f1latest #hottake #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #f1driver #f1drama #f1gossip Red Bull Can't Ignore Isack Hadjar Anymorehttps://youtu.be/42AMNtNZYoc Hosted on Acast.

Lewis Hamilton got five seconds for a 50/50 first-lap incident. Charles Leclerc practically ran Oscar Piastri off the road at the end of the Kemmel Straight and got nothing. We're not sure the stewards watched the same race we did. In this episode, Chris and Tom review the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix, the last one at Spa for a couple of years. George Russell's afternoon ends before turn six and his frustration with his power unit boils over, Kimi Antonelli takes a sixth win of the season with a drive well beyond his years, Isack Hadjar carves from P21 to P6, and Franco Colapinto pulls off the move of the race that F1's TV direction somehow forgot to show us.

The Belgian Grand Prix gave us plenty to unpack. Lewis Hamilton's penalty has split opinion across the paddock. George Russell's race ended almost before it began. Kimi Antonelli strengthened his championship lead with another composed drive, while Charles Leclerc kept Ferrari firmly in the fight. We also break down Verstappen's podium, Ferrari's pace, the role of the Safety Car and VSC, Hadjar's tow, Bortoleto, Lindblad and Colapinto's impressive afternoons, and why Aston Martin heads into Hungary under even more pressure. Join the discussion and tell us where you stand. Was Hamilton's penalty fair? Is Antonelli now the clear title favourite? Has Russell's championship challenge taken its biggest hit yet?

Most F1 fans are caught up in race results — but what if the biggest story isn't just who wins, but how they win (or don't)? Imagine a season where driver talent is often overshadowed by battery management, AI unpredictability, and regulatory gray areas. This episode dives deep into the unseen battles shaping the 2026 Formula One landscape, revealing why the sport's glamorous speed hides a complex web of strategy, technology, and human error that could define the future of racing.Tune in as Soumil and Kunal peel back the curtain on everything from Lewis Hamilton's controversial Belgian GP penalty to Kimi Antonelli's relentless pursuit of greatness. They break down how new generation cars are pushing drivers to their limits in ways never seen before, with tiny twitch moves and smart engineering decisions making or breaking race fortunes. You'll discover how FIA regulations are tested daily — and how AI-driven power units, limited operational windows, and evolving aerodynamics are turning motorsport into a game of micro-optimizations. This isn't just a technical discussion; it's a quest to understand what really matters on the track. Are these battery battles and software innovations creating real racing or robbing fans of instant legend-making moments? Why are seasoned drivers like Russell, Leclerc, and Hamilton struggling with reliability and strategic constraints, while young stars like Antonelli thrive? We explore the opportunity — or peril — of a sport caught between raw racing passion and the digital, data-driven future. Whether you're a die-hard F1 fanatic or a casual enthusiast, this episode will change the way you see racing. It's about more than just chirping turbo engines — it's a behind-the-scenes look at the sport's next chapter. Perfect for anyone craving the truth behind the glamour and the deep, unseen forces that shape every race. Hit play now, and join us as we decode the new era of Formula One — where strategy is everything, and the race for innovation is as fierce as ever.

We also check in on Rob vs Brian to see whose podium predictions came out on top, revisit the latest casino game standings, hear Pitlane Paul's expert take on the biggest stories from Spa, and round up all the latest Fantasy F1 action. Before we wrap up, we look ahead to another classic circuit as we preview next week's Hungarian Grand Prix, discussing who could carry their Spa momentum into Budapest and what storylines we'll be watching. In this episode:

Pat's away this week, so it's a solo one from Elle. First up, an apology and an explanation: no episode after Silverstone because a certain trackside glamping situation and a David Guetta set got the better of her. From there it's a proper catch-up, Red Bull's factory in Milton Keynes and their NASA-built control room, Goodwood Festival of Speed, the McLaren Technology Centre, and a very stressful near-miss getting stuck in Abu Dhabi on the way home. Then it's into the Belgian Grand Prix. Grid penalty carnage before the race even started, a lap one collision between Russell and Hamilton, and Kimi Antonelli hunting down Leclerc for his sixth win of the season. Elle runs through the full, genuinely mind-blowing list of records Antonelli has broken this year, from youngest polesitter in F1 history to the current state of his championship math against Russell and Hamilton. Plus a quick word on Aston Martin's driver lineup and whether change is coming. Topics covered: British GP recap, Red Bull HQ, Goodwood FOS, McLaren Technology Centre, Abu Dhabi travel chaos, Belgian GP grid penalties, Spa GP race recap, Kimi Antonelli 2026 records, F1 2026 championship standings, Aston Martin driver talk Follow along and get in touch with any questions for the next episode.

The Belgian Grand Prix might not have been a classic......but what happened AFTER the race certainly was.Lewis Hamilton's opening-lap collision with George Russell sparked one of the biggest arguments we've ever had on Everything Trackside.Was it a slam-dunk penalty?Was it just a lap one racing incident?Or are the FIA completely inconsistent?It quickly descended into accusations of bias, conspiracy theories, semantics, and complete chaos.Alongside that we discuss:

The 2026 Formula 1 Season is here, and it's Round 10. We're in the mountains of Belgian, at the iconic Spa Francorchamps. Off the calendar next year, back the next - will it go out with a bang? Let's get into all of the details, plus Bangers & Clangers as per usual. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.

ormula 1 heads to one of the greatest circuits in the world as Spa-Francorchamps hosts the Belgian Grand Prix.After Ferrari's breakthrough victory at Silverstone, can Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton carry that momentum into Belgium? Or will Mercedes, Red Bull or McLaren hit back before the summer break?In this episode we discuss:

The Verstappen-to-McLaren rumours refuse to die down and this week they got louder. Plus: F1 could run 10 sprint weekends in 2027, Aston Martin's big upgrade is delayed to Hungary, and we preview a brutal Belgian Grand Prix at Spa. In this episode: Mark Weber's denial that Oscar Piastri is being replaced, why Red Bull's talent exodus makes a Verstappen exit feel more plausible (all speculation at this stage, nothing confirmed), what a McLaren hypercar detour could look like for Max, Stefano Domenicali's push for more 2027 sprints, Aston Martin's delayed upgrade, our Belgian GP storylines and predictions, and a mailbag question on the Middle East calendar situation.

Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah preview the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix and how Charles Leclerc vs. Lewis Hamilton is the main on-track rivalry to follow at this point of the season.

The 2026 Formula 1 Season is here, and it's Round 7. We're at an old F1 stalwart, the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya, and Lewis Hamilton won for the first time since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. His very first time in a Ferrari. Plenty to talk about, so let's get into all of the details, plus Bangers & Clangers as per usual. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… WITH GIANPIERO LAMBIASES LEAVING RED BULL THE MAX ERA IN F1 COMING TO AN END… WHEN FERRARI PLAY CATCH UP…WELL WE'VE SEEN THAT COMEDY OF ERRORS BEFORE MERCEDES WILL NEVER SHOW ALL THEIR CARDS AND… FERNANDO KNOWS THE FAT LADY IS ABOUT TO SING! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: ZACK BROWN before he joined McLaren and BOB BONDURANT… AND YES….OUR BONUS IS HIRO MATSUSHITA OF FORMULA 1 AND CHAMP CAR FAME! Bob Bondurant was one of America's most influential racing figures — a driver who succeeded on the world's greatest circuits, competed for legendary teams including Shelby American, Ferrari, and Eagle, and ultimately shaped generations of racers through education. Rising from the fiercely competitive Southern California road racing scene of the 1950s, Bondurant achieved significant success on both sides of the Atlantic and became a pivotal ambassador for American road racing. His enduring legacy lives on through the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, which trained hundreds of thousands of drivers — from future professionals to Hollywood royalty. Career, Bondurant was born in Evanston, Illinois, but his competitive instincts emerged early and loudly. As a teenager, he raced Indian motorcycles on dirt ovals, learning car control the hard way. By 1956, he shifted his focus to sports cars, initially racing a Morgan, and soon made his mark by winning the West Coast “B” Production Championship in a Chevrolet Corvette, claiming an extraordinary 18 victories in 20 races. His growing reputation caught the attention of Santa Barbara Chevrolet dealer Shelly Washburn, who hired Bondurant in 1961 to drive his #614 1959 Corvette. Over the next several seasons, Bondurant became a dominant force on the West Coast. His on-track rivalry with David McDonald produced some of the era's most memorable Corvette battles. At the 1962 L.A. Times Grand Prix, Bondurant debuted Washburn's new 1963 Corvette Z06 Stingray, and between 1961 and 1963, he won an astonishing 30 of 32 races in Washburn's Corvettes. Shelby, Europe, and international success In 1963, Bondurant joined Carroll Shelby's Ford Cobra team, immediately delivering results. He won his first race for Shelby at Continental Divide Raceway in Colorado, followed by an overall GT victory at the L.A. Times Grand Prix at Riverside later that year. The following season propelled him onto the global stage. After finishing second in GT at Sebring, Bondurant spent 1964 racing in Europe, campaigning Shelby's new 289 FIA Cobras at iconic events including the Targa Florio, Spa-Francorchamps, and the Nürburgring. His most celebrated triumph came at the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he and Dan Gurney won the GT class in the revolutionary Cobra Daytona Coupé. Bondurant reached the peak of his international racing career in 1965, when he played a key role in Shelby American and Ford winning the FIA Manufacturers' World Championship. He won seven of ten races, defeating the class-dominant Ferrari 250 GTOs across Europe. That same year, Bondurant expanded his résumé further, driving a works Ferrari Formula One car at the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, followed by a start in a Lotus 33 for Reg Parnell at the Mexican Grand Prix. Formula One, film, and defining moments In 1966, Bondurant's expertise took him beyond the racetrack. He served as technical consultant for John Frankenheimer's film Grand Prix and personally trained lead actor James Garner to drive Formula cars for the movie's racing scenes. That same year, Bondurant was involved in one of the most consequential moments in motorsport safety history. Alongside Graham Hill, he helped extract Jackie Stewart from his fuel-soaked wreck during the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix — an incident that directly inspired Stewart's later campaign for improved safety standards. Bondurant also competed in five Formula One Grands Prix with Team Chamaco Collect, driving BRMs and achieving an impressive fourth-place finish at Monaco. He rounded out his Formula One involvement in North America with two races driving an Eagle for Dan Gurney's Anglo American Racers. The crash that changed everything In 1967, Bondurant competed in the Can-Am series and returned to Le Mans in a Corvette L88 Coupé, leading the GT class until a wrist pin failure ended his race in the early morning hours. Later that year, disaster struck at Watkins Glen. While driving a McLaren, a steering arm failed at approximately 150 mph approaching the Loop-Chute section (today's Turn 5). The car flipped eight times, leaving Bondurant with severe injuries to his ribs, legs, feet, and most critically, his back. Doctors warned he might never walk again. Bondurant refused to accept that verdict. Through determination and relentless rehabilitation, he recovered — and in the process, envisioned a new chapter. LAMBIASE TO LEAVE ORACLE RED BULL RACING IN 2028   Oracle Red Bull Racing confirms that GianPiero Lambiase will leave the Team in 2028, when his current contract expires. “GP” is a valued member of the Team, which he joined in 2015.  Until his planned departure, “GP" continues in his roles as Head of Racing and as Race Engineer to Max Verstappen.  The Team and he are fully committed to add more success to our strong track record together.   Miami and Montreal to host FIA Formula 2 Championship Rounds in 2026 FIA Formula 2 announce that Miami and Montreal will host Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2026 calendar, alongside Formula 1 – the first time the Championship will race in North America. The opportunity for Miami and Montreal to join the F2 calendar has come about following the news that the Sakhir and Jeddah Rounds will not take place in April. The FIA Formula 2 championship will go to Miami, USA, on May 1-3 for what will be the second Round of the 2026 season, followed by Montreal, Canada on May 22-24, as Round 3, before returning to Europe, starting with Monte-Carlo, Monaco, on June 04-07. Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said: “While it has not been possible to go ahead with the two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia this month, and we look forward to being back with our passionate fans there as soon as possible, it is great news for our fans, the drivers and the teams that Formula 2 will be racing in Miami and Montreal. Bruno and the whole F2 family have done a great job, working closely with us, the FIA, and the Miami and Montreal promoters, to ensure we limit the gap in racing for the championship this season and I want to thank them for making this possible. It is going to be fantastic to restart the racing in a few weeks' time and to have F2 alongside Formula 1 as we return to the US for the first time this season.” Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA President, said: “Following the necessary changes to the calendar at the start of the season, the addition of these new rounds ensures the FIA Formula 2 Championship remains strong and balanced, and able to deliver for our teams, drivers and fans. Bringing the championship to North America via Miami and Montreal for the first time marks an important step in its continued global growth, strengthening the pathway alongside Formula One and connecting with new audiences. I thank all those who worked tirelessly to make these rounds possible. “Our thoughts remain with all those affected by the ongoing events in the Middle East and we continue to hope for a swift return to stability. We look forward to racing in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia very soon.” Bruno Michel, FIA Formula 2 CEO, said: “We always love to race in Sakhir and Jeddah, and we wish them well and look forward to returning to both as soon as circumstances allow. We are now going to Miami and Montreal for the second and third rounds of the 2026 season, respectively. I would like to thank Stefano Domenicali and Formula 1 for their support in making this possible, and also the FIA, the promoters of the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix, and of course my team, who have worked hard to put in place two new Rounds in such a short amount of time. It was not an easy thing to do, but bringing F2 to North America for the first time is really fantastic. It's something we have been wanting to do for a long time, and it enables us to ensure we're back racing as quickly as possible. It will be a great new challenge for our teams and our drivers, who have all welcomed the news with enthusiasm. I am certain that the quality of racing will bring a lot of excitement to the fans and to everyone attending both Grands Prix.” Revised 2026 FIA Formula 2 Championship Calendar Date                       Venue 06-08 March                  Melbourne, Australia 01-03 May  Miami, USA* 22-24 May     Montreal, Canada* 04-07 June   Monte-Carlo, Monaco 12-14 June  Barcelona, Spain 26-28 June  Spielberg, Austria 03-05 July  Silverstone, Great Britain 17-19 July  Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium 24-26 July  Budapest, Hungary 04-06 September   Monza, Italy 11-13 September  Madrid, Spain** 24-26 September  Baku, Azerbaijan 27-29 November  Lusail, Qatar 04-06 December  Yas Island, UAE ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO FORMULA ONE™ TEAM EXPANDS DRIVER ACADEMY LINE-UP, WELCOMING AVA LAWRENCE & ROLAND NAGY AMRTC, UK, 9 April 2026: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team is pleased to announce the expansion of its Driver Academy, welcoming DPK Racing karters Ava Lawrence and Roland Nagy to the programme. The team's latest signings reflect its ongoing commitment to identifying, supporting, and developing the next generation of motorsport talent. The team's Driver Academy offers a clear pathway to the highest levels of racing, supporting drivers both on and off the track. It helps them develop, learn and grow, while providing the opportunities needed to succeed. The programme focuses on building long-term partnerships and actively scouting the brightest young talent across all levels of motorsport. At just 11 years old, Australian born Ava Lawrence has established herself as a rising force in international karting. Competing across Rotax, IAME and FIA-aligned categories, she has claimed multiple podium finishes and broken new ground as the first female MENA Cup Champion, the first female winner of a Mini race in ROK Cup Italy, and the first female driver to reach the podium in the Mini class of the Champions of the Future Academy. Ava, who races under an Emirati licence, was recently selected to represent F1 ACADEMY DISCOVER YOUR DRIVE in this year's British Champions of the Future Academy (COTFA) Programme having also been chosen to represent the initiative over the previous two seasons in the international series. 13-year-old Roland Nagy has emerged as a standout competitor in the premier OK-Junior category, making his mark on the international karting scene. Roland, from Hungary, is a regular contender in the sport's most prestigious series, including the FIA Karting European Championship and the WSK Super Master Series. He has demonstrated his exceptional race craft and speed, notably securing heat victory at the opening round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series at La Conca.   Roland frequently qualifies for highly competitive finals, marking him as one of the most promising young Hungarian talents as he continues his progression toward the higher echelons of professional motorsport. The Aston Martin Aramco Driver Academy's strategic partnership with DPK Racing, the official team of FA Alonso Kart chassis, provides access to a combined wealth of karting expertise and a global network, including that of Fernando Alonso. This collaboration strengthens the Academy's ability to identify and nurture promising young talent from the earliest stages of their motorsport careers, and reflects the trust placed in the team's karting expertise to help identify and develop these young drivers as they progress through the ranks. Nuno Pinto, Racing Director, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy: “Bringing in talent at a junior level is an important part of our strategy, and Ava and Roland are excellent examples of the calibre of young driver that we want to bring in the programme. Both drivers have already shown impressive potential on the international stage, with strong performances in highly competitive categories. Having the opportunity to contribute to a driver's development from such an early stage is incredibly important, allowing us to help shape their progression both on and off the track as they continue to grow in the sport.” Ava Lawrence, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy: "I'm really excited to join the Aston Martin Aramco Driver Academy. It's going to be such a huge step to help me improve my driving and become even better on track. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone on the team and learning from them. “Getting to visit the AMR Technology Campus (AMRTC) for my announcement was so cool. My favourite part of the day was seeing the different materials they use on the Formula One cars and actually getting to touch parts of the car. It was so interesting to see how it's all made!” Roland Nagy, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy: “I'm really pleased to be a part of the Aston Martin Aramco Driver Academy. The team will be giving me a lot of support, which will be really important for my career, and I'm excited to learn as much as I can from everyone I meet inside the team. “It was really cool to visit the AMRTC. I really liked how it looks, both outside and inside – it's very futuristic. My favourite part was seeing how the cars are made. It's amazing seeing Formula One cars up close and what they look like on the inside.”   Ava and Roland join current Aston Martin Aramco Driver Academy members Mari Boya, competing in FIA Formula 2, and Mathilda Paatz, F1 ACADEMY driver.
