  • British GP Review: Leclerc Gets Lucky, Kimi Gets Robbed
    Jul 6 2026

    • Charles Leclerc finally winning again — and Ferrari’s 250th F1 victory
    • Kimi Antonelli’s race falling apart after wheel shield damage
    • Why the Silverstone overtakes felt way too artificial

  • Barcelona GP Review: Hamilton Finally Does It
    Jun 16 2026

    Lewis Hamilton is finally a Ferrari race winner.


    After 686 days without a Grand Prix victory, Hamilton broke through in Barcelona with a perfectly executed drive, Ferrari’s biggest upgrade package of the season, and a strategy masterclass.


    In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down a chaotic Spanish Grand Prix featuring:


    • Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari win and whether this is the start of a genuine title charge

    • Kimi Antonelli’s engine failure ending a potential sixth straight victory

    • George Russell grabbing pole… then somehow finding a way to finish second again

    • Ferrari’s huge upgrades and why their starts are becoming a serious weapon

    • Williams penalties, Audi heartbreak, and another reliability-heavy weekend

    • Our Gurus and Fools of the race, plus listener questions in Listen to the Fools


    We also look ahead to Austria, where brutal kerbs, track limits and a very short lap could create another unpredictable weekend.


    🏁


    Hamilton wins.


    Ferrari finally deliver.


    And for the first time in a long time, the championship fight feels wide open again.
