The 2026 F1 season has reached the halfway point, so we’re taking stock of where Formula 1 stands — and where it could be heading next.

We’re joined by Dutch F1 creator and massive Max Verstappen fan WimboFormula for a wide-ranging chat covering Max’s future at Red Bull, Liam Lawson and the F1 driver market, George Russell’s battle with Kimi Antonelli, the new 2026 regulations and whether the season has lived up to expectations so far.

We also get into Sprint races, possible driver moves, Red Bull’s struggles and plenty of predictions for the second half of the season.

Plenty of opinions, questionable predictions and general Formula 1 nonsense along the way.
