Are the 2026 F1 regulations ruining pure driver talent? Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri sound the alarm on self-learning engine algorithms and "artificial" racing in a fiery paddock revolt! In this edition of the podcast, we dive deep into the fallout from Spa-Francorchamps and set the stage for the final race before the summer shutdown at the Hungaroring:
With chassis set to be more important than power unit at the Hungaroring, will Ferrari have a more competitive car than Mercedes in Budapest? If so, who will come out on top between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton? And could George Russell benefit as he looks to close his 50-point gap to championship leader Kimi Antonelli?F1 correspondent and presenter Lawrence Barretto joins Tom Clarkson in the paddock to answer the key questions ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. Tom and Lawrence also discuss what we can expect from the big upgrades Aston Martin are bringing to this race and how they could shape Fernando Alonso's decision on his future. Plus, will McLaren and Red Bull be in the mix for victory?
F1 has its last outing before the summer break. Kimi Antonelli is the in-form driver following his victory in Belgium. He leads the drivers' championship by 45 points. Can anyone stop him? Lewis Hamilton had a chaotic race at Spa, but could the Ferrari have strong pace this weekend, and could the seven-time champion challenge for victory and continue his title challenge? Jennie Gow is joined by the BBC's F1 correspondent Andrew Benson as well as F1 Academy champion Abbi Pulling and W Series race-winner Alice Powell to look ahead to the weekend. Plus, Harry Benjamin sits down with Carlos Sainz to reflect on Williams' difficult season.
This episode begins by asking the age old question: was the Tom Brady/Logan Paul Fanatics Fest slap real or staged? Also discussed: Bieber's recent omnipresence, Jay-Z Yankee Stadium night 3, Ariana & Ricky Alvarez, Kim & Lewis Hamilton's seemingly increasingly serious relationship, & more. We also acknowledge the passing of beloved MJ and send Kris & the family love during this time.ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/commentsbycelebsTry Hint, now available online at drinkhint.com and in stores nationwideLearn more and plan your trip at VisitBuffalo.comWayfair.com to shop all things homeStart your free trial at SHOPIFY.COM/commentsNutrafol.com promo code COMMENTS for $10 off your first month's subscription and free shippingDownload the Poshmark app and use code cbcto get $10 off your first purchase.

Tom Clarkson is joined by race-winner Kimi Antonelli, F1TV lead presenter Laura Winter and two-time Le Mans podium finisher Alex Brundle to review the Belgian Grand Prix. Kimi converted pole to secure his sixth win of the season and move 45 points clear at the top of the World Championship. 12 months on from last year's Belgian Grand Prix, one of his most challenging weekends of the 2025 season, how has the 19-year-old made such an incredible transformation? Kimi joins us in the Mercedes motorhome to reflect on his victory and a close fight with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. You'll also hear reaction from George Russell, whose DNF after a collision with Lewis Hamilton on lap 1 leaves him 50 points adrift of Antonelli.

Spa-Francorchamps debía ser uno de los grandes exámenes de la Fórmula 1 de 2026. Y lo fue. Y, a juicio del equipo del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, lo suspendió. ¿Demasiado estrictos? Para juzgar habrá que escuchar el primer episodio de la semana. Estrategia, sí. Emoción, ninguna. El Gran Premio de Bélgica dejó una carrera con interés, con estrategia, con tensión y con una nueva victoria de Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Pero también volvió a enseñar el gran problema de esta normativa: los adelantamientos por pura gestión de potencia siguen siendo difíciles de disfrutar. No fue una mala carrera. Conviene dejarlo claro. Spa tuvo momentos, alternativas y una clasificación final que confirma que el campeonato sigue vivo. Pero ver cómo algunos de los puntos más míticos del circuito pierden parte de su esencia por la manera en que los coches gestionan la energía eléctrica deja una sensación amarga. Spa es velocidad, desnivel, riesgo controlado y confianza. Si ahí los monoplazas tienen que levantar demasiado pronto, algo importante se rompe en la relación entre la pista y el espectáculo. Antonelli, mientras tanto, sigue a lo suyo. El italiano de Mercedes ganó en Bélgica, se convirtió en el vencedor más joven en la historia de Spa y dio otro paso importante hacia el campeonato. Tiene el mejor coche, sí, pero también está demostrando una madurez impropia de su edad. Se ha adaptado mejor que nadie a esta Fórmula 1 y, sobre todo, no está cometiendo errores. Mercedes, sin embargo, volvió a mostrar las dos caras de su temporada. Por un lado, el rendimiento sigue ahí: Antonelli hizo la pole, ganó la carrera y confirmó que el coche alemán continúa siendo la referencia. Por otro, George Russell abandonó en un fin de semana en el que, más allá de las explicaciones oficiales, quedó la sensación de que el nerviosismo tuvo mucho que ver. En un campeonato largo, la fiabilidad y la cabeza pesan tanto como la velocidad. Ferrari volvió a salir reforzada. Charles Leclerc terminó segundo y Lewis Hamilton cuarto, en una carrera que confirma que la Scuderia ha encontrado una base mucho más competitiva que al inicio de la temporada. Quizá no tenga todavía la regularidad de Mercedes, pero ya no parece un equipo condenado a esperar errores ajenos. Puede estar cerca, puede presionar y puede aprovechar cualquier grieta. Red Bull también dejó señales positivas. Max Verstappen acabó tercero y Hadjar firmó una gran remontada hasta la sexta posición, un resultado importante para el primer equipo. Después de semanas de dudas, el coche no parece completamente perdido, aunque sigue lejos de transmitir la autoridad de otros años. Verstappen continúa siendo una amenaza, pero Red Bull necesita convertir sus picos de rendimiento en una tendencia más estable. McLaren quedó algo más difuminada. Piastri fue quinto y Norris séptimo, con vuelta rápida final incluida, pero el equipo sigue sin terminar de transformar su velocidad en resultados realmente contundentes. Está cerca, sí, pero en una temporada tan apretada eso no siempre basta. ¿Qué ocurre tras los 4 grandes? Por detrás, Bortoleto volvió a sumar para Audi con una octava posición muy valiosa, Lindblad metió de nuevo a Racing Bulls en los puntos y Colapinto rescató el último punto para Alpine. La zona media sigue moviéndose, aunque Aston Martin continúa en una situación durísima: Alonso terminó doblado dos veces y Stroll abandonó. Hasta que lleguen mejoras reales, el diagnóstico sigue siendo muy severo. Spa dejó también polémicas. Sanciones discutibles, coches de seguridad virtuales, decisiones difíciles de entender y esa sensación ya demasiado habitual de que la FIA aparece más de lo necesario en el relato de cada carrera. Hamilton fue sancionado por su toque con Russell, mientras otras maniobras quedaron sin castigo. La coherencia “arbitral” sigue siendo una asignatura pendiente. El resultado final deja una conclusión doble. La temporada está más interesante de lo que parecía. Antonelli se escapa, Ferrari se acerca, Red Bull reacciona y Mercedes no puede permitirse fallar. Pero la Fórmula 1 de 2026 sigue teniendo un problema de fondo: cuando llega a circuitos como Spa, debería impresionar por velocidad y valentía, no obligarnos a hablar tanto de baterías agotadas y adelantamientos sin alma.

Spa-Franchorchamps, das war mal Mut, Wagnis und Risiko, aber die neue Formel 1 hat die Strecke, die sowieso schon von vielen Gefahren befreit wurde, mit dem Reglement 2026 weiter entmystifiziert.

Het F1 team van Ferrari is hard aangepakt door de FIA na het incident waarbij Lewis Hamilton tijdens een pitstop een monteur raakte. Daarnaast waarschuwde Max Verstappen opnieuw voor de gevaren van de huidige F1-reglementen na een bijna-crash in de openingsronde. Ondertussen deed Andrea Kimi Antonelli uitstekende zaken in het WK door zijn voorsprong verder uit te bouwen.
O italiano da Mercedes Kimi Antonelli venceu o grande premio da Bélgica e estendeu a liderança no Mundial. Antonelli, que tinha 25 pontos de vantagem na liderança do campeonato, quase dobrou a diferença: ele possui agora 45 pontos a mais em relação a Lewis Hamilton, que ficou em quarto na prova.
Het Formule 1-circus was afgelopen weekend in België te vinden voor de grand prix op het circuit van Spa-Francorchamps. Het was andermaal het weekend van onze jonge, Italiaanse kampioenschapsleider Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Nadat het in Silverstone helemaal misging in de slotfase en zijn teamgenoot George Russell weer behoorlijk inliep, waren de rollen ditmaal omgedraaid. Al in de eerste ronde werd de Brit geëlimineerd door zijn voormalige teamgenoot Lewis Hamilton, waardoor het gat tussen de twee nu inmiddels vijftig punten bedraagt. Ook Max Verstappen heeft het pechweekend in Engeland achter zich weten te laten. Hij kwalificeerde in België als tweede en wist, ondanks wat pech met een virtual safety car, als derde op het podium te eindigen. We blikten erop terug met Ronald Vording van Motorsport.com. Presentatie: Robert Denneman Foto: Motorsport.com
Na de domper op Silverstone besloot Red Bull de Macarena-achtervleugel thuis te laten voor de Grand Prix van België. Vanaf het eerste moment zaten Max Verstappen en Isack Hadjar er lekker bij, met een podium voor de Nederlander als resultaat. Verstappen hield knap de derde plaats vast voor mannen als Lewis Hamilton en Oscar Piastri.Joris Mosterdijk, Mike Hezemans en Tim Coronel analyseren de podiumplaats van Verstappen en Red Bull in een gloednieuwe aflevering van de RacingNews365 Formule 1-podcast. Zij stellen vast dat Verstappen Red Bull nog even de tijd moet geven. Want Laurent Mekies liet het al weten op de boordradio: er komen meer updates aan!
Kimi Antonelli heeft de Formule 1 Grand Prix van België gewonnen, maar de race in Spa-Francorchamps is vooral een nieuwe tik voor George Russell geworden. De Brit was al vroeg klaar na contact met Lewis Hamilton, maar was vooral verbolgen over wat daaraan vooraf is gegaan: een probleem met de deployment op Kemmel Straight. Toto Wolff heeft na afloop erkend dat alle Mercedes-aangedreven auto's batterijproblemen bij de start hadden, hetzij in verschillende mate. Dit staat nog los van het onderwerp dat het Spa-weekend heeft gedomineerd: het zelflerende aspect van de power units. Max Verstappen heeft dat een jungle genoemd en stelde dat hij in de eerste ronde een ‘vliegtuigcrash' moest voorkomen. Ronald Vording bespreekt het allemaal in een nieuwe aflevering van de F1-update, net zoals Ferrari, de race pace van McLaren en het besluit van de stewards om Lewis Hamilton geen tijdstraf te geven voor de unsafe release.
Could Mercedes have experienced two more contrasting races? Kimi Antonelli claimed his sixth victory of the season to extend his championship lead over Lewis Hamilton to 45 points, while George Russell's afternoon was over before he'd even completed the opening lap. Harry Benjamin, Sam Bird and Rebecca Clancy look back on a dramatic race and assess what it means for the title fight. They hear from race winner Antonelli, a frustrated Russell after his early retirement, and second-placed Charles Leclerc.
Megan Schuster and Spanners break down Kimi Antonelli's Belgian Grand Prix victory and the controversial incidents involving Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, and Oscar Piastri. They also examine Ferrari's strategy problems, McLaren's improving pace, and Russell's growing championship pressure heading into Hungary.

El fin de semana de motor dejó sensaciones bastante irregulares. Silverstone, uno de los circuitos más importantes de la historia de la Fórmula 1, no terminó de ofrecer el espectáculo que se espera de un trazado así. Y Mid-Ohio, en la IndyCar, tampoco fue una de esas carreras imprevisibles que suelen explicar el atractivo de la categoría. Y de todo eso, y más, se habla en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Contradicciones, muchas contradicciones. En Gran Bretaña, la Fórmula 1 volvió a mostrar sus contradicciones. La victoria de Charles Leclerc fue una gran noticia para Ferrari y para el campeonato, pero el fin de semana también dejó imágenes difíciles de aceptar: coches levantando en zonas míticas como Copse, Maggotts o Becketts, donde tradicionalmente la velocidad, el apoyo aerodinámico y el compromiso del piloto han sido parte esencial del espectáculo. La sprint del sábado fue pobre. Hubo rebases, pero pocos adelantamientos realmente emocionantes. En cierto modo, sirvió como ensayo general para el domingo. Los equipos aprendieron cómo gestionar mejor el despliegue de energía, cómo defenderse y cómo evitar que las diferencias eléctricas rompieran por completo la pelea. Por eso la carrera larga resultó algo más interesante de lo que se podía temer. Aun así, la sensación de fondo sigue siendo incómoda. Esta Fórmula 1 exige una lectura distinta, casi más estratégica que emocional. Hay inteligencia en la forma en que los pilotos gestionan la energía durante una vuelta, preparan un ataque y deciden dónde desplegar. La maniobra de Kimi Antonelli sobre Lewis Hamilton antes de Copse fue un ejemplo de ese nuevo tipo de competición: menos instintiva, más calculada, pero no por ello sencilla. F1 actual: no es sencilla, pero tampoco atractiva. El problema es que no siempre resulta igual de atractiva para el espectador. Las luchas tipo yo-yo, en las que un coche se acerca o se aleja según el momento de despliegue eléctrico, pueden tener interés técnico, pero no transmiten la misma intensidad que una pelea sostenida en frenada, trazada y tracción. Silverstone, precisamente por lo que representa, hizo más visible esa pérdida. La carrera también dejó varias polémicas. Russell terminó segundo, pero beneficiado por un coche de seguridad final que impidió una resolución más natural de la prueba. Antonelli, que había vuelto a tener ritmo para discutir cosas importantes, sufrió otro problema de fiabilidad en Mercedes y terminó muy lejos pese a marcar la vuelta rápida. Hamilton acabó tercero, aunque el fin de semana dejó dudas alrededor de la gestión de las banderas amarillas y de la aplicación de sanciones. Por detrás también hubo notas interesantes. Hadjar fue quinto con Red Bull, confirmando que el primer equipo empieza a tener algo más que Verstappen en la pelea. Los Racing Bulls siguen muy fuertes y se metieron en puntos, como los Audi, que puntuaron con Bortoletto, pero abandonaron con Hülkenberg. Y no nos olvidemos de los que también se están acostumbrando a terminar entre los que puntúan: los Alpine. En una carrera condicionada por el coche de seguridad final, la zona media salió especialmente comprimida. IndyCar, otro espectáculo “discutible”. Mientras la Fórmula 1 dejaba esa mezcla de victoria importante y espectáculo discutible, la IndyCar vivió en Mid-Ohio una carrera más plana de lo habitual. Pato O’Ward ganó por delante de Christian Lundgaard en una prueba con pocos adelantamientos y menos sobresaltos de los que suele ofrecer la categoría. El mexicano necesitaba un triunfo así. O’Ward llevaba tiempo rondando resultados importantes y en Mid-Ohio encontró una carrera para imponer ritmo, controlar a sus rivales y sumar una victoria de peso. No fue un triunfo nacido del caos ni de una carambola estratégica, sino de una ejecución sólida en un circuito donde adelantar nunca es sencillo. Mid-Ohio es técnico, estrecho en varias zonas y muy sensible a la posición en pista. Cuando el orden se estabiliza, romperlo exige una diferencia clara de ritmo, una estrategia alternativa o una neutralización que reordene la carrera. Esta vez no hubo suficiente de todo eso como para convertir la prueba en una montaña rusa. La “salvada” de Palou. Alex Palou, por su parte, salvó otro día sin ritmo. El catalán no tuvo una carrera cómoda y aun así remontó del octavo al quinto puesto. Puede parecer poco para un piloto acostumbrado a ganar o a controlar carreras desde la parte alta, pero en días así también se construyen campeonatos. Palou tuvo que trabajar mucho para firmar ese top five. No hubo superioridad clara, ni coche dominante, ni esa sensación de control que tantas veces transmite. Mid-Ohio le obligó a sumar desde la incomodidad. Y eso también forma parte de su fortaleza: incluso cuando el fin de semana no fluye, encuentra la forma de limitar daños. La clasificación general sigue sosteniendo su ventaja. Palou continúa líder, aunque sus perseguidores empiezan a sumar victorias y a mantener viva la pelea. O’Ward gana presencia, Lundgaard confirma regularidad y el campeonato entra en una fase en la que cada carrera sin tropiezo grande del líder vale mucho. El fin de semana dejó, en definitiva, dos lecturas parecidas desde categorías muy distintas. La Fórmula 1 tuvo una carrera mejor que su sprint, pero sigue sin resolver del todo su problema de espectáculo. La IndyCar tuvo una prueba correcta, pero menos vibrante de lo esperado. Y en medio de todo eso, dos nombres salen reforzados: Leclerc, por devolver a Ferrari a la victoria en Silverstone; y Palou, porque incluso cuando no tiene ritmo sigue sumando como quien sabe que los campeonatos también se ganan en los días grises.

Dom Riefstahl is a mechanical engineer who went straight from graduation into BMW's F1 programme, later moving to the Sauber F1 team and then to the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 outfit, where he worked with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. Riefstahl now keeps his eye on the ball as an F1 pundit for Luxembourg public broadcaster RTL.In this interview, Riefstahl takes us inside the world's most sophisticated sport, and, in particular, the fascinating triangle among driver, engineer, and car. He explains how a driver's feel for the car is translated into action by engineers armed with 400 sensors and 40 000 channels of data, why the great drivers are the ones who can tell whether a problem comes from their own driving or from the car itself, and how a top driver sometimes feels things the technology can't yet measure. Along the way, we learn what it costs to develop a driver from karting to an F1 seat, why reaction time can quietly end a career, why the truly great champions are hypersensitive about everything from tyre temperatures to wafts of garlic, and why the driver you're most likely to have a pint with will probably never be world champion.

Charles Leclerc won the British Grand Prix under a safety car to win at Silverstone for the very first time. The Ferrari driver flew off the line at the start to overtake Kimi Antonelli with Lewis Hamilton also shooting up to second. The Ferraris held off Antonelli for a while but the Mercedes was quicker and swept past Hamilton at Copse corner to pile the pressure on Leclerc. Leclerc opened up a decent lead before a pit stop to switch the tyres sent Antonelli into first. With others gaining behind him, Antonelli made his stop on lap 36 but came back on track with an issue which dropped him down the grid. Antonelli fell out of the points as Max Verstappen crashed out of the race handing an advantage to his rivals. Leclerc's win take him up to fourth in the standings while Russell is now just 27 points behind Antonelli Hadjar Finishes Fifth After Composed British Grand Prix At Silverstone On Sunday. Isack Hadjar started fifth and held his place by the finish of Sunday's British Grand Prix thanks to a composed performance at Silverstone to put valuable title points on the board for Oracle Red Bull Racing. Hadjar was pushing all race, while ahead of him Dutch teammate Max Verstappen was well in the hunt for a podium place only to suffer a mishap at Stowe while chasing Lewis Hamilton for second place. Visa Cash App Racing Bulls duo Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad finished sixth and seventh to boost the team with another promising performance that leaves them sixth in the 2026 constructors' title race. Oracle Red Bull Racing ISACK HADJAR - 5th "Ultimately, I can be happy with the result. P5 is solid points for the Team, but I felt we could've had more. My pace at the start was good, and we finished strongly as well. We got off the line well and I stayed with Max in the first stint. After pitting onto the Hard we struggled and I couldn't find the grip to stay close to Lando. Throughout that middle stint I was in no man's land, so it was a little boring for me. We lost time with changing the front wing, but it took our pace back to where it was at the start and I could really push. It's a shame that we couldn't have that last lap as I had such a good feeling in the car to go out and really attack the cars ahead. Overall, I've felt comfortable in the car all weekend and feel like I've got on top of the package which is good going forwards." MAX VERSTAPPEN - DNF "It's not been the outcome we wanted from this weekend. Right from the start we struggled with balance and top speed in comparison to Isack's car. In the race, we were okay on the Medium but were struggling with pace on the Hard. We were fighting for P3 towards the end of the race but had a similar issue to Qualifying in Austria. It was a different fault with the rear wing, where it would not fully attach, meaning we lost a lot of downforce and spun off the track. I hope the coming weeks are better, and that we can sort things about before Spa." LAURENT MEKIES - CEO & Team Principal "First and foremost we must start by apologising to Max. An issue with the rear wing on his car developed in the closing stages of the race which ultimately sent him off track. It's not the first time an incident of this kind has happened, we are taking it extremely seriously and will put in place everything necessary to make sure it does not happen again. What matters tonight is that Max is okay. Looking at the race up to that point, our pace was better than at any time this weekend, with Max and the Team executing a strong race which put us in a solid third place, before the incident happened. That would have put us in front of one Mercedes and both McLarens on a weekend where we had some pretty serious balance and performance limitations. Isack had a solid weekend, a very good qualifying yesterday and then a strong race today. He wanted more, but we'll take that P5. There is certainly a lot we need to look at, as things looked a lot more difficult than one week ago in Austria, where we could fight for the win. I have full trust that as a Team we will react in a very strong way and tackle both the reliability and performance aspects that prevented from extracting everything out of our package this weekend." George Russell It's always special to stand on the podium at Silverstone, and after a few years where luck hasn't really been on my side at my home race, it's nice to finally get a result to celebrate in front of these fans. It is always one of the most special races on the calendar for me. The support here is incredible, the fans are so passionate, and racing in front of a home crowd is something I'll never take for granted. I'm grateful for all their support and delighted we could at least give them a podium to celebrate. It was a race with a whole range of emotions today. At times we were unlucky, and in the end, we got a little bit lucky as well. The Safety Car played in our favour because everyone behind me had fitted fresh tyres. Had we gone racing again, I probably would have lost at least one position, so I'm glad it finished under the Safety Car and allowed us to bring home P2. It wasn't a particularly strong weekend from our side. I've been trying to understand for a while why I'm struggling, and although today felt slightly better, there are still a lot of things we can improve. I could feel the slow puncture developing during the race and lost around five or six PSI over a lap and a half, which made the car feel increasingly unbalanced. Putting that aside though, there's still work for us to do to understand where we're missing performance. We will analyse all the data before we head to Spa so we can come back stronger. Kimi Antonelli Today was one of those days where everything seemed to go against us. We had really strong pace in the race and it felt like we had the speed to close the gap and fight for the win. That's what makes the end of our race so frustrating. We didn't get the opportunity to properly battle for the victory but sometimes these things are out of your control. The damage happened very suddenly. I was taking the same kerb every lap, but on that particular lap I ran it and immediately lost front downforce. The car wasn't driving straight anymore and the pace dropped away. I knew part of the wheel shield had broken, but there seemed to be more going on than we could see at that moment. We will analyse everything and understand exactly what happened. Despite all the setbacks, I kept pushing and trying to maximise every opportunity. That's always my mindset. Even when it felt like everything was going against us, I was still fighting to grab that one point before the Safety Car changed things. I know I gave everything I had and we will come back stronger. The support from the fans has been amazing this weekend and I'm already excited to bounce back in Spa. Charles... "It feels incredible," said Leclerc. "Unfortunately the end was maybe not the one I will have dreamt of but to win after the last few weekends that have been particularly difficult, all the work that we put into trying to get the feeling back in the car. I felt like I had found something yesterday between the Sprint and Qualifying, but I had to confirm that today. And today, the feeling was back where it needs to be. I'm so incredibly happy."
The 2026 Formula 1 Season is here, and it's Round 9. The home of British motorsport, Silverstone, hosts the British Grand Prix. And the winner, was Charles Leclerc. Finally stopping the rot, ahead of George Russell & Lewis Hamilton. Let's get into all of the details, plus Bangers & Clangers as per usual. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.
Is there any stopping Kimi Antonelli? The young Italian followed up his Sprint victory by taking pole position for Sunday's Grand Prix. Rosanna Tennant is joined by Harry Benjamin and Andrew Benson to look back on a busy day at Silverstone. They hear from Antonelli, as well as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.
Susie Wolff (Driven, F1 Academy, and Williams Formula One) is a former professional racing driver, and managing director of F1 Academy. Susie joins Armchair Expert to discuss her motorsport-obsessed childhood in Scotland, her grandfather's career as a daredevil motocross rider, and discovering karting as the only girl on the track. Susie and Dax talk about racing against Lewis Hamilton as a kid, the physical toll of driving an F1 car, and building F1 Academy from a financially unworkable idea into a fully-backed series for female drivers. Susie explains why performance is the purest validation, how femininity stopped feeling like weakness, and why writing a letter to her younger self was the most emotional part of writing her memoir.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
