Season 4 is officially here and we’re back in racing mode. 🏁

In this episode, we break down the 2026 F1 liveries — who nailed it, who played it safe, and who completely surprised us. We also dive into the first round of pre-season testing in Bahrain and what it really tells us about the pecking order.

Plus, we make our bold championship predictions for the season ahead.

Fresh paint. Fresh drama. Let’s go racing.

In this season finale of Formula Pod, we look back at the 2025 Formula 1 season and reflect on the V6 turbo-hybrid era as the sport prepares for its major 2026 regulation reset.

Rather than breaking down a single race, this episode takes a broader view — exploring what defined the season, the competitive narrative of dominance and disruption, key turning points, and the teams that over- and underperformed. We also discuss how the hybrid era reshaped Formula 1, from the way drivers race to how fans watch the sport.

Joined by new voices in the conversation, we share fan perspectives on the moments that mattered most during the hybrid years — without getting lost in technical detail.

Before wrapping up the season, we look ahead to what’s next in Formula 1, including new 2026 terminology, active aerodynamics, overtake mode, and the excitement around January’s car launches.

A season wrapped, an era reviewed, and the next chapter of Formula 1 just around the corner.

Lando Norris wins the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and is the champion of the world. We have our resident McLaren fan, join us on the show and talk all about what the win means for her who has been waiting for the past 3 years for this moment. We disucss about Abu Dhabi , the race in length and some big mentions. Listen in to learn more.

It’s the penultimate race of the Formula 1 season, and while we hoped for clarity on the championship battle, it looks like Abu Dhabi will deliver the final verdict. In this episode, we dive into McLaren’s very familiar-looking strategy moves (yes, the Ferrari inspiration is noted), Williams’ impressive resurgence, the fierce mid-field fight, and Red Bull’s latest strategic masterclass led by Hannah Schmitz.

We’re in the final stretch of the Formula 1 season, and the action returns to the OG U.S. circuit — Austin, Texas. The Sprint brought its share of surprises, with McLaren missing out, while the main race didn’t quite deliver the on-track drama many expected. Still, it was a weekend to celebrate for Ferrari fans, as the team emerged with the biggest points haul. In this episode, we break down what really happened in Austin, and dive into a lively debate — should Charles have let Lando through instead of defending him?

We explore today all about the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, an exiciting and nail-biting race, something which we haven't had for while. Piastri out, Norris not finishing where we expected, which extended McLaren's deal to seal constructors for another race. Whereas it was a pure luck for Williams and a bonus for George Russell.

As Formula 1 breaks for Half Season break, we deep dive into the season, on track and off track. Our biggest surprises and biggest disappointments, we break it all down in thsi episode .

It was the Hungarian GP and some things were way different than expected. A Ferrari on pole since Schumacher, both Aston Martin's in Top 10 in qualifying and post-race, Hamilton's consistency records being broken once again.
