Episode Summary: In this episode of On A Flying Lap, we’re diving headfirst into the biggest Formula 1 bombshells and future shocks that are shaking the paddock! From Lewis Hamilton trading his silver Mercedes overalls for Ferrari red, to F1 celebrating its 75th anniversary in style, we’ve got it all. Plus, Brad Pitt racing through Hollywood (and maybe the midfield), Tag Heuer taking over the timekeeping reins, and General Motors trying their hand at F1 power units. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a wild ride!

What’s Covered in This Episode:

  • Hamilton to Ferrari? The GOAT himself, Lewis Hamilton, is reportedly making a shock move to Ferrari. Can he fix the Scuderia’s strategic blunders, or will he just be screaming "Forza Ferrari!" in frustration?
  • Tag Heuer Takes Over Timekeeping: Rolex is out, Tag Heuer is in as F1’s official timekeeper starting in 2025. What does this mean for the sport’s branding, and will it finally give Max Verstappen a watch he doesn’t hate?
  • F1’s Diamond Jubilee: Formula 1 is turning 75, and the celebrations are set to be bigger than Christian Horner’s complaints about porpoising. Will it be a grand spectacle or a glorified PowerPoint presentation?
  • Brad Pitt’s F1 Movie: Brad Pitt stars as a retired F1 driver in a new movie produced by Lewis Hamilton. They’re filming during actual races—what could possibly go wrong?
  • GM Enters the F1 Power Unit Business: General Motors is revving up to join the F1 world. Can the makers of Cadillacs compete with the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes, or will this be another uphill battle for the American giant?
