Silly season begins.

June marked a busy season for the driver market as the team announced news of driver transfers for 2025 and beyond. Amidst all this lies a key figure, Carlos Sainz, who is said to be the "cork" that unscrews the bottle for the rest of the drivers to decide on their future in F1.

But that's not all.

There's also much talk about the 2026 regulations that introduce a raft of changes to the sport, as well as Andretti continuing to lock in key figures to join their F1 campaign — despite Formula One Management closing their door for them to join the F1 grid.

This episode was recorded after the Canada GP race weekend.
