Dick and Sabrina dive into a July double-header packed with plot twists, strategy gambles, and shifting fortunes for Formula 1’s biggest teams. From Spa to Budapest, the trio of McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull faced championship pressure and midseason tests—while the rest of the grid fought to keep pace.

In this episode:

• McLaren:
  With Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris locked in a surging title battle, McLaren’s sharp strategies and fast pit stops paid off across Belgium and Hungary. Dick and Sabrina break down how Piastri’s resilience and Norris’s on-track grit kept McLaren at the front and examine whether their one-two punch makes them the team to beat as the season hits its stride.
• Ferrari:
  Optimism flickered as Charles Leclerc secured pole in Budapest, but Dick and Sabrina question whether recent highs are a trend or a mirage. Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton both wrestled with inconsistent setups—praising Fred Vasseur’s steady hand but asking if Ferrari’s soul-searching will turn potential into consistent performance. Plus: candid reflections on that perfectly executed pit stop and what Vasseur’s contract extension means for the Scuderia’s 2026 ambitions.
• Red Bull:
  Under the microscope after a landmark leadership shakeup, Red Bull’s dominant early-season form is starting to show cracks. Dick and Sabrina discuss Verstappen’s performance, the team’s evolving strategy as rivals close the gap, and whether the defending champions can regain their edge before the regulation cycle turns.
• Plus:
  Why Aston Martin’s rollercoaster, Williams’ resilience, and tight mid-field battles are every bit as important as the headline acts—especially with margins tighter than ever this rules cycle.

Hear why Dick and Sabrina believe July’s closest battles revealed as much about F1’s future as this summer’s results—and why nothing is certain with the biggest names in the paddock under pressure.
