The streets of Azerbaijan turned into a game of “who can keep it out of the wall?” and Carlos Sainz showed everyone how it’s done. In this week’s Formula Fools, David and Skin break down Sainz’s podium heroics in the Williams, a Racing Bulls double points haul, and a McLaren weekend to forget — yes, Oscar, we’re looking at you.Skin’s hot takes dive into the wild qualifying session, why wind suddenly became F1’s biggest enemy, and whether Oscar’s rough weekend says more about pressure or perspective. Plus, Driver of the Day, Biggest Letdown, and a chat on why Mercedes quietly pulled off one of their best weekends of the season.It’s gurus, fools, and everything in between — Azerbaijan style.

F1’s Regulation Changes for 2026!
The ground-effect era is on its last lap, and Formula 1 is about to hit the reset button. In 2026, the sport is getting smaller, lighter cars, radical new active aerodynamics, and power units that are 50% battery, 50% engine. Oh, and don’t forget sustainable fuel, an overtaking boost button, and some safety upgrades that could change how crashes are handled.In this episode, the Fools break down the biggest rule shake-up since 2014 — from scrapping DRS for X-Mode and Z-Mode, to the insane jump in electric power, to whether 30% less downforce really means better racing. Will this revolution bring wheel-to-wheel action back to classic tracks like Monaco, or just give drivers even more buttons to press? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Italian GP - Does McLaren Have a Favorite
The Italian Grand Prix gave us drama from the start to the finish, with McLaren’s call to swap Lando and Oscar stealing the spotlight. Was the team protecting their star, or just undoing a botched pit stop? We dive into why Piastri looked so aggressive, why everyone thinks turn 1 is the place to send it, and how Max somehow went from giving up places to cruising to a huge victory.Plus, we ask the real questions: Did Sainz dodge a penalty he should’ve had? What on earth does a suspension failure mean for Alonso (and why did it have to be him)? And why is Lawson once again taking “no prisoners” a bit too literally with Tsunoda?Strap in as we break down the chaos, the strategy, and the very questionable decisions from Monza. Hosted on Acast.

The Dutch GP had it all – Oscar Piastri pulls off his first career Grand Slam, while poor Lando’s hopes literally go up in smoke. Max Verstappen reminds us why he’s ridiculous with a daring overtake on the limit, and Ferrari… well, Ferrari did Ferrari things again. We also dive into Alex Albon’s miracle drive, Isack Hadjar’s podium-worthy grit, and Skin’s confusion over missing wheels, pit light blunders, and whether Mercedes’ strategy ever makes sense.
