Formula 1 is officially BACK. 🇦🇺

Then we break down Practice Session 1 from the Australian Grand Prix, looking at early pace from the grid, potential sandbagging, and which teams might already be showing their hand heading into qualifying weekend.

Finally, we lock in our 2026 season predictions — who wins the championships, which teams surprise the paddock, and which drivers could shake up the grid this year.
