  • Inside Formula 1’s 2026 Regulation Reset

    Inside Formula 1’s 2026 Regulation Reset
    Jan 25 2026
    The 2026 F1 season is a full reset, and the fun part is how quickly teams will try to stretch the wording. In this first short episode of the season, we break down what the new regulation set is really aiming to change, and what it could mean for the way F1 actually races: power unit priorities, driver modes, and why aero conversations are about to sound very different. And yes, we also get into the first big “everyone’s watching this” storyline of the new era: the compression ratio debate and the kind of interpretation battles the FIA wants resolved before lights out in Australia. If you’re trying to get ahead of the 2026 noise before launches and testing, this is your clean primer. Drop your boldest 2026 prediction below, and tell us what you want us to explain next. 📍CHAPTERS: 00:00 - 01:32 - 2026 starts here: new era teaser 01:32 - 04:20 - Why F1 keeps rewriting the rulebook 04:20 - 04:37 - Power units: battery becomes the headline 04:37 - 05:12 - Driver modes and manual override talk 05:12 - 11:05 - Active aero vibes: “DRS thinking” changes 11:05 - 14:10 - What the FIA is actually trying to fix 14:10 - 18:09 - The loophole mindset (hello, Mercedes) 18:09 - 20:00 - Compression ratio and “cold vs hot” advantage 20:00 - 20:43 - Predictions and what to watch next 📢 F1 journalists & bloggers — if you quote this interview, please credit: Inside Line F1 Podcast.

  • Lando Norris is NOT your F1 World Champion stereotype

    Lando Norris is NOT your F1 World Champion stereotype
    Dec 8 2025
    Yes, we are stirring the pot. But was Lando Norris on anyone's list of favourites for the F1 2025 World Champion? And yes, we ask this while celebrating Norris' crowning glory. Could Max Verstappen have done something "different" to win the race, but also the title? And what about Oscar Piastri?

    Lando Norris' crowning moment? | F1 2025 #AbuDhabi GP Review
    Dec 4 2025
    It's all happening in Abu Dhabi, and our man Kunal Shah is on-site. Will it be Lando Norris, or will it be Max Verstappen? And of course, can Oscar Piastri do anything of his outside chance to win? Yes, McLaren-Lando Norris need to do better to handle the pressure, but what about the Race Control? The last time the title battle went down to the wire saw Race Control interpret the regulations differently and on-the-fly! The 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix brings an end to an era that included ground-effect aerodynamics, hybrid-turbo power units, the (wretched) DRS and of course, the legendary team called Sauber.

    Who deserves the 2025 F1 championship more? | F1 2025 #QatarGP Review
    Nov 30 2025
    Max Verstappen is making McLaren toil harder than anyone imagined to clinch their first Drivers' World Championship since 2008. After the 2025 Qatar GP, Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri & Lando Norris are all tied on 7 race wins apiece. Given the way the season has gone, which driver actually deserve the 2025 F1 Drivers' Championship more? Carlos Sainz scored another podium on merit for Williams, Ferrari's struggles and did Kimi Antonelli let Norris drive past in the last laps to the end?

  • Has "The Lando Norris Era" Begun in F1? F1 2025 Qatar GP Preview Show

    Has "The Lando Norris Era" Begun in F1? F1 2025 Qatar GP Preview Show
    Nov 26 2025
    Lando Norris' first proper chance to clinch the Drivers' Championship of the 2025 Formula 1 season. Will he clinch it on his first attempt, or will the title battle go down to the wire in Abu Dhabi? In Las Vegas, Norris was frazzled by Max Verstappen on the front row. Will this trend continue in Qatar? And btw, have we all resigned to the fate that Oscar Piastri won't be crowned F1 World Champion in 2025? Qatar will be the final "Sprint and Grand Prix" format of the F1 2025 season. Traditionally, Red Bull Racing has struggled to get their car in optimal working range when there is just one FP1 session. Given their plank woes, will McLaren suffer similar fate i.e. require more "track time" to find the accurate ride height to race with? How aggressive will McLaren go, or will they be conservative given Norris' 24-points lead at the top of the table? The battle for P6 in the Constructors' Championship is another one to watch. A lot of money is at stake and we expect teams and drivers to throw everything at it. 📢 F1 journalists & bloggers — if you quote this interview, please credit: Inside Line F1 Podcast.

  • BIG plot TWIST in F1 title battle | F1 2025 #LasVegasGP Controversy Review

    BIG plot TWIST in F1 title battle | F1 2025 #LasVegasGP Controversy Review
    Nov 23 2025
    Both McLaren drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, have been disqualified from the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix for excessive skid wear. What do the rule say, and crucially, how does this impact the F1 title battle in the 2025 Formula 1 season? Max Verstappen dominates the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but would he have won even if Lando Norris didn't make a boo-boo of the start? Is Oscar Piastri's championship challenge over and done with? And above all else, were you entertained by the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix...and we mean entertained on-track. Kimi Antonelli's P17 to P5, how did that happen? How did he climb through the grid but Lewis Hamilton couldn't? Nico Hulkenberg in the points yet again for Sauber, while Carlos Sainz claimed the "best of the rest" for Williams.
