Last week was the first round of testing in Bahrain, and so much happened that we couldn’t even fit it all into one episode!

We look at each team - what did they nail? Where did they fail? Who’s riding high?…and who’s in trouble?

With lots to come next week, including a meeting with the FIA to discuss possible changes to the new regulations just WEEKS before the first race, keep tuning in to stay informed!

And Jay has a very interesting theory behind the uptick in Hamilton’s performance - nothing is off the table for the 2026 season.

This upcoming season is ESPECIALLY exciting because so many of the rules are changing. They’ve basically shredded the rulebook, doused it in gasoline, set fire to it, and thrown it out the window.

Jay and Sinéad here to talk you through it all! [mostly Jay]

We cover

• Aerodynamics
• Engine Technology
• Sustainable Fuels

Doesn’t that sound very technical and interesting?

So, how do we think these big changes going to translate to the track? You’’ll have to listen to find out…

We are Jay and Sinéad, one of us is a die-hard day 1 F1 fan, and the other one is Sinéad, who watched Drive to Survive by accident and now she’s an addict.

We both love the sport in our own way, and we’re excited to share that love with all of you, talking about our favourite F1 moments, drivers, teams, and our predictions for what looks to be a veeerrrrrry exciting 2026 season, with huge changes on the way! We talk with passion in our hearts, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

At the end of each episode, each of us will quiz the other on their F1 knowledge - Jay, the seasoned pro, who maybe doesn’t know as much as he thought, Sinéad the fast-learning rookie!

We want you to get to know us a bit better before we ‘Lights Out’ on the 2026 season. You’ll hear about how we met…romance was involved! Kinda.

We know and love many of the Formula 1 podcasts already out there, but we are so excited to give it a go ourselves and maybe give a few fresh takes on what’s happening, and embrace Sinéad’s fellow Drive-to-Survivers. Weekly episodes will include the usual Race Predictions, News Updates, Reviews etc etc but also the really important stuff, like who delivered that week’s most unhinged radio message.

We’ll add in new features as we go, but something you can already look forward to is Sinéad’s weekly Formula Fun Fact - this week, it’s about the Don Juan of the race track, Fernando Alonso!

We welcome listeners of all ages and stages, whether you’re a seasoned pro or have never seen a race in your life!
