We had an interesting Chinese GP weekend that served up our 1st Sprint race of the new season. Hamilton scored a really surprising victory in Sprint highlighting a very controlled Sprint Qualifying, and race ! Ferrari had a tale of two half's, when after the race they ended having both cars disqualified , along with Gaslys Alpine for being underweight, and Hamiltons car having worn skid blocks. During the race Piastri had a fantastic victory for Mclaren, while Norris nursed brake issues to come 2nd , while Mercedes had another great weekend with Rusell, and Antonelli doing another solid job with finishing in 7th even though it was later found out he had floor damage.

We were all treated to a fantastic crazy Australian GP that had all elements of a crazy race, that mixed conditions turned upside down. The weather caught out so many drivers from rookies, to all time veterans like Alonso resulting in him crashing out of the race. Only 14 drivers finished. Norris had a fantastic race to finish without any major mistakes except one spin. Paistri unfortunately had a costly mistake which changed the course of his race ! This was a brilliant race from Merc who finished 3 and 4th, and by far the driver of the day with an amazing debut from rookie Antonelli, who went from all the way 16th to 4th. He made very few mistakes, awesome passes and avoided the barriers ! Ferrari defiantly underperformed with a wrong strategy that had them finishing 9 and 10th. Albon had a fantastic top 5 finish.

We had a busy 3 days of testing that showed for the most part remarkable reliability for all the teams ! Overall comparing test times, drivers' conversation and such Mclaren seem to be the preemptive favorites heading into the new season, and 1st race in Melbourne ! That is followed by in my opinion Mercedes and Ferrari. Mercedes seem to have made great gains, showing a very solid platform and covering the most miles/laps out of all the teams in 458 ! RedBull unlike the last 2 years seem to be a little out of sorts, they had issues throughout the test and covered the least number of laps with 304. Both drivers also did not get the amount of testing miles they wanted.

F1 celebrated in grand style its 75th anniversary in London in the O2 Arena with a red carpet to boot. All the teams new liveries were introduced, and it was a grand affair. We also cover Ferrari`s new car introduction, and how Lewis and Charles are feeling about it, and finish off with latest F1 news roundup.

Let's see where this exciting era takes us.

Here we are in the offseason. This episode recaps last season 2024. All the interesting things we witnessed, the highs and lows. I also cover the two biggest news items of the week with Calopinto heading to Alpine, and Andy Cowell named CEO of Aston Martin F1 team.

We have reached the end of a great season with Norris and Mclaren securing a thrilling constructors Championship after 26 long years. Ferrari gave it a great try with an amazing race from Charles jumping from 19th to the podium! Lewis ends an amazing legendary relationship with Merc where he secured 6 championships countless poles ! Hamilton had a fantastic race and strong finish for Merc from 18th to 4th !! We also await of Sergio`s fate after a really bad season from him !

Vegas produced another fantastic race weekend that ended up crowning Max with a 4th Championship ! But it was also a Mercedes domination weekend. From the first practice the Merc car was the class off the field topping all the time sheets and also securing pole with Russell. In the race Russell drove a fantastic race but he wasn't the only one, Hamilton drove a fantastic race from 10th to 2 passing a lot of cars, and further underlying the pace. Norris and Mclaren had a bad weekend, with Max passing Norris to secure his championship. Ferrari was able to secure a podium, but there was heavy tension between lecrec and Sainz because of team order instructions.

An absolute drive of a champion from Max to start from 17th in rainy wet condition to power himself to the top podium position! He absolutely solidified his strong hold on the Championship after thus Sunday ! It was the exact opposite for Norris who finished a disappointing 6th. A fantastic effort from Alpine and their drivers to finish 2nd and 3rd in podium positions after very strong drives, and great strategy! Also a notable mention of Russell to power the Merc to a podium start on Quali, and who could have finished on the podium on Sunday!
