Alex Brundle | Le Mans With Dad, F1’s New Champions + Why 2026 Changes Everything


Listen Later

He’s raced at Le Mans, survived endurance chaos, built a GT40 from the ground up, commentates at the highest level of Formula 1 — and yes, he has that last name.
This week on Rolling Start, we sit down with Alex Brundle for a no-PR, no-talking-points conversation about what actually happens behind the scenes of modern F1.

We go deep — not headlines, not hot takes — real insight from someone who’s lived on both sides of the pit wall.

🔥 In this interview:

  • What it really feels like to race the 24 Hours of Le Mans

  • Why most fans misunderstand driver pressure, mistakes, and “mental strength”

  • The difference between how Max, Lando, Oscar, Lewis, and Fernando actually operate

  • Why Ferrari keeps failing elite drivers — and whether Lewis can survive it

  • How F1 broadcasting translates chaos into clarity for a global audience

  • Why 2026 will reward system thinkers, not just raw talent

  • Cadillac’s real uphill battle entering Formula 1

  • The truth about the second Red Bull seat

  • And Alex’s unhinged (and brilliant) idea to fix Monaco forever

This isn’t a legacy interview.
It’s a masterclass from someone who understands racing from the cockpit, the garage, and the broadcast booth.

If you want fewer opinions and more understanding — this one’s for you.
