Episode notes
We're back with another solo episode of Distinct & Jovial and this time, we're heading back to the world of Formula 1.
Back in February, Dom made his predictions for the 2026 F1 season. Now we're at the halfway point, so there's only one thing to do...
See how badly he got them wrong.
This episode is a mid-season check-in on the F1 season so far, looking back at those original predictions, what's surprised us, who's delivered, and who definitely hasn't.
Then it's time for the mid-season driver report cards, with Dom giving every driver their rating based on how they've performed so far.

🎧 The Vibe
A slightly different Distinct & Jovial this time around.
It's a solo episode, but with more of a P1-style F1 review feel: predictions, opinions, ratings and plenty of opportunities for Dom to defend some questionable calls made six months ago.
Part analysis, part retrospective and part public accountability.
And, as always, the opinions are entirely Dom's own... so don't blame Jerry.
