Formula Fools

Silverstone gave us a sprint weekend full of weird overtakes, broken cars, penalties, and one very lucky Ferrari win. In this episode, we break down: Charles Leclerc finally winning again — and Ferrari’s 250th F1 victory Kimi Antonelli’s race falling apart after wheel shield damage Why the Silverstone overtakes felt way too artificial George Russell closing the title gap after another messy Merced...

The Austrian Grand Prix gave us one of the closest finishes of the season, another huge weekend for Mercedes, and somehow… the biggest talking point wasn’t even the race. In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down everything from Spielberg, including: 🇬🇧 George Russell converting pole into another race victory 🇮🇹 Kimi Antonelli extending his championship lead despite missing out...

Lewis Hamilton is finally a Ferrari race winner. After 686 days without a Grand Prix victory, Hamilton broke through in Barcelona with a perfectly executed drive, Ferrari’s biggest upgrade package of the season, and a strategy masterclass. In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down a chaotic Spanish Grand Prix featuring: • Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari win and whether this is th...

Monaco was supposed to be boring. Instead, we got crashes, strategy chaos, a late safety car, and another statement drive from Kimi Antonelli. In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down a wild Monaco Grand Prix and ask the question everyone is starting to think: Is Kimi already running away with this championship? This episode includes: • Kimi Antonelli’s fifth consecutive victor...

Before Crashgate… There was Spygate. In this Formula Fools deep dive, David and Skin unpack the scandal that nearly tore Formula 1 apart during the 2007 championship fight between McLaren and Ferrari. What started with a disgruntled Ferrari employee quickly became one of the biggest controversies the sport has ever seen. This episode includes: • How Ferrari’s secret technical documents ended up in...

Canada gave us another huge question for the 2026 season: Is Kimi Antonelli becoming the guy at Mercedes? In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down a Canadian Grand Prix that continued Kimi’s ridiculous run of form and gave us another big look at where the grid really sits. This episode includes: • Kimi Antonelli making it four wins in a row • Whether Mercedes now have a genuine...

This isn’t just a race review. This is the story of the most controversial moment in Formula 1 history — the Crashgate at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. A race that looked chaotic at the time… …but was anything but. In this episode: Why the 2008 Singapore GP mattered so much in a title fight decided by 1 point How Fernando Alonso went from nowhere to winning — and why it didn’t make sense The exac...

The 2026 season finally came alive in Miami. In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down a chaotic Miami GP weekend that saw McLaren fight back, Max Verstappen spin on lap one, and Aston Martin somehow become slower than Formula 2 cars.   This episode includes: Kimi Antonelli winning his third race in a row and extending his championship lead McLaren’s massive upgrades finall...

The 2026 season just delivered its biggest statement yet. Suzuka gave us dominance, drama, and our first real signs that these new regulations might be a little… unpredictable. In this episode: Kimi Antonelli goes back-to-back and becomes the youngest championship leader ever Why his race pace was on another level compared to everyone else Oscar Piastri’s standout drive — and why it still wasn’t e...

This one’s a little different. A special Formula Fools throwback episode — part collaboration with We Got The Chocolates , part deep dive into the chaos that is the 2026 regulations. Because before we even got to Melbourne… we thought we knew what was coming. We didn’t. In this episode, you’ll hear a segment from our collab with the Chocs crew — breaking down our Australian GP trip, answering Lee’...

The 2026 season is officially heating up — and the Chinese Grand Prix might have just given us the first real statement of the new era. In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down an unbelievable weekend at the Chinese Grand Prix — featuring a historic performance from rookie sensation Kimi Antonelli . Because what he did in Shanghai was ridiculous. Youngest pole sitter in F1 hist...

The 2026 Formula 1 season is officially underway, and if Melbourne told us anything… it’s that nobody fully understands these new cars yet. In this Formula Fools race review, David and Skin break down everything from the season opener at the Australian Grand Prix — including chaos, massive saves, unexpected pace, and a lot of confused drivers. Because while fans got a wild race… the drivers were n...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the most fascinating careers of the modern grid: Sergio Pérez . Because Pérez’s résumé doesn’t follow the usual pattern. Six wins. Three poles. Thirty-nine podiums. That alone tells you something about how he races. David and Skin rewind to the beginning. From karting in Mexico to Skip Barber in the US at 14. From living above a restaurant i...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the most quietly successful careers of the modern era: Valtteri Bottas . Because Bottas is one of those drivers history might undersell. But the numbers don’t. 10 wins. 67 podiums. 20 pole positions. Multiple runner-up finishes in the World Championship. That’s not average. That’s elite. David and Skin rewind to the early days. Back-to-back...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack the youngest gun on the 2026 grid: Arvid Lindblad . Because not many 18-year-olds walk into Formula 1 with a timeline they predicted themselves. In 2021, a 14-year-old Lindblad told Lando Norris : “Remember me. I’ll see you in five years.” Five years later — he’s on the grid. That’s not manifestation. That’s planning. David and Skin rewind to why R...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the grid’s fastest-rising young names: Franco Colapinto . Because Colapinto’s F1 story so far hasn’t been a straight line. It’s been opportunity. Drafted mid-season. Thrown into FP1. Called up again. Moved teams. Confirmed for 2026. He just keeps getting the call. David and Skin rewind to why that’s not random. Franco left Argentina young an...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the most hyped young talents on the grid: Gabriel Bortoleto . Because not all junior résumés are built the same. Some drivers win races. Some win championships. Bortoleto won back-to-back FIA titles as a rookie. 2023 — FIA Formula 3 Champion (rookie). 2024 — FIA Formula 2 Champion (rookie). That’s rare air. David and Skin rewind to how a Bra...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the most resilient careers on the grid: Pierre Gasly . Because Gasly’s story isn’t about smooth dominance. It’s about getting knocked down — and responding. Before F1, the résumé was legit: Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup Champion Runner-up in Formula Renault 3.5 2016 GP2 Champion with Prema Super Formula runner-up in Japan That’s not “lucky tim...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the most misunderstood careers in modern F1: Lance Stroll . Because no driver carries a louder narrative than Stroll. But here’s the thing. Before the F1 debates. Before the “pay driver” tags. Before the Aston Martin era. He was properly dominant in juniors. David and Skin rewind to the early years: Picked up by the Ferrari Driver Academy as...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the grid’s toughest journeys: Esteban Ocon . Because Ocon didn’t arrive in Formula 1 with comfort. He arrived with sacrifice. Before the podiums. Before the F1 contracts. Before the headlines. His family sold their house and moved into a caravan so he could keep racing. That’s not a motivational poster. That’s real life. David and Skin rewin...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack one of the grid’s ultimate opportunity merchants: Liam Lawson . Because Lawson’s F1 career hasn’t followed a clean, linear script. It’s been chaos. Reserve driver. Super Formula in Japan. Mid-season F1 call-up. Red Bull cameo. Back to Racing Bulls. And somehow… he’s still here. David and Skin rewind to why that’s not luck. Before F1, Lawson quietly...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we unpack the rapid rise of Oliver Bearman — the teenager who went from F2 weekend to Ferrari race seat in about five minutes. Because that’s not exaggeration. Saudi Arabia 2024. Carlos Sainz out. Phone rings. Bearman in. At 18 years old, he was pulled from his normal Formula 2 routine and dropped into a Ferrari Formula 1 car with almost no notice. Most rook...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we break down one of the boldest promotions of the 2026 season: Isack Hadjar . Because Red Bull don’t promote drivers gently. They throw them in next to Max Verstappen and see what survives. David and Skin rewind to Hadjar’s junior journey — Paris-born, fast out of karting, climbing through French F4 and the Formula Regional/F3 ladder before landing in Formu...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we look at one of the most respected — and most statistically confusing — careers on the grid: Nico Hülkenberg . Because if you only looked at his junior résumé, you’d assume multiple F1 titles were inevitable. German Formula BMW champion. A1 Grand Prix champion. Formula 3 Euro Series champion. GP2 champion — as a rookie. That’s not a solid ladder climb. Tha...

In this Formula Fools driver deep dive, we talk about a man who has outlasted eras, regulations, rivals… and common sense retirement timelines: Fernando Alonso . Because to understand Alonso, you have to go back to the early 2000s. When Michael Schumacher was dominating Formula 1, it took someone very special to stop him. That someone was a young Spaniard with blistering speed, relentless racecraf...
