Today we’re kicking things off with the latest Formula 1 regulation updates — what’s changing, why it matters, and how it could shake up the grid.

But that got us thinking a bit bigger.

We’ve been listening to the podcast Acquired, and it inspired us to look at Formula 1 not just as a sport — but as a business. Because behind the racing, there’s a whole story of power, money, and control.

So in this episode, we’ll connect the dots — from today’s regulation changes back to the era of Bernie Ecclestone, the man who built F1 into a global empire, and the rise — and fall — of Formula One Teams Association.

How did the teams try to take control? Why didn’t it last? And what does that mean for the sport today?

Let’s get into it.
