This week on the podcast, we dive into one of Formula 1’s most heated and ongoing debates: does F1 have a penalty problem? From baffling steward decisions to the inconsistency that seems to shift from race to race, we unpack what's going wrong in the current system. Is it the complexity of the rules? The lack of clear precedent? Or is the sport simply evolving faster than the regulations can keep up? While there are issues, we also highlight what’s working—like the increased responsiveness to driver input and the visible improvements made after controversial incidents in past seasons.

We then shift gears to compare the IndyCar action with the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix—two very different racing spectacles with their own flavor of drama. We preview the upcoming race weekend, drop some killer trivia, share our thoughts, and throw out some bold predictions. To wrap up, we tee up the next big storyline: Ben Sulayem vs Carlos Sainz—what’s brewing behind the FIA curtain?
