Japanese GP: Chaos Hits Suzuka


Listen Later

The 2026 season just delivered its biggest statement yet.


Suzuka gave us dominance, drama, and our first real signs that these new regulations might be a little… unpredictable.


In this episode:


  • Kimi Antonelli goes back-to-back and becomes the youngest championship leader ever
  • Why his race pace was on another level compared to everyone else
  • Oscar Piastri’s standout drive — and why it still wasn’t enough
  • Russell’s strange race explained (energy limits + software glitch)
  • Bearman’s huge crash and the growing concern around “clipping”
  • Why Mercedes look ahead of the game — and Red Bull don’t



Three races in…


…and this season already makes zero sense. 🏁
