Episode Show Notes: August 7th, 2025

What's up, F1 fam? We're back with the freshest takes after the Hungarian Grand Prix! This episode is packed with all the juicy deets, from team drama to some wild F1 history. Let's get into it!

McLaren’s Winning Streak is giving "Icons Only" ✨

OMG, you guys, McLaren just clinched their 200th Grand Prix victory at Hungary, making them second only to Ferrari (who has 248 wins). Mercedes is third with 130 wins, and Red Bull is fourth with 124. And get this—McLaren's four straight 1-2 finishes? It's only the second time they've done that, with the first being way back in 1988. Ferrari has five straight 1-2 finishes in 1952 and 2002, Mercedes had five straight in 2014, from late 2015 to early 2016, and again in 2019.

Ferrari & Red Bull's Hungarian GP Meltdown: The Tea is HOT! ☕

Okay, so what happened with Ferrari and Leclerc in Hungary? Apparently, the team is at a loss to explain his collapse. And get this, after the Hungarian GP, Leclerc has only turned one of his last 16 poles into a win (the 2024 Monaco GP, for those keeping track). Red Bull is also spilling the tea on their own GP meltdown, revealing what went wrong.

Mercedes is Catching a Vibe! 🏎️

Mercedes went back to an earlier version of their rear suspension, and Antonelli is here for it. He's a bit bummed they didn't do it sooner because he felt "far more confident in the car". George Russell is also making headlines, saying he's not signing a new Mercedes deal during the F1 Summer Break.
