Revisiting the 2026 Driver Points Draft
Notas del episodio
At Formula One’s summer break, Meg, Spanners, Chris Medland, and Nate Saunders revisit their preseason driver points draft, defend their questionable picks, and assess the season’s biggest surprises—including Mercedes’s strength, Kimi Antonelli’s emergence, and five different winners in five races. They also debate Red Bull and Max Verstappen’s recovery prospects, Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s execution, Aston Martin’s disastrous campaign, McLaren’s growing momentum, and whether Cadillac deserves more patience in its debut season.
