Safe to say, we’ve got a lot to catch up with here.
In this extended episode of Motorsport101, RJ, Cam and Dre sit down to review a newsworthy final break and the year’s biggest story.
After Michael Andretti stepped down as CEO of his team, it turns out negotiating an F1 deal was actually a piece of piss, and it’s now been confirmed that Cadillac under the wing of General Motors will join the grid in 2026 as the sports 11th team. What caused the sudden change of heart? And how unnecessary has this entire process been?
We have to talk about the new World Champion crowned in Las Vegas… it’s the same as the old one. Max Verstappen finished fifth on the road and that was enough to take the title after Lando Norris could only manage sixth. Is Max now one of the greatest ever? How did he win the title? Or, did McLaren lose it when it mattered most?
George Russell won the Grand Prix too, in ultra-cold conditions, in a dominant Mercedes 1-2. Is it better to have a fast car you don’t understand? Or a slow one you know too well? Mercedes is testing that theory. We also discuss the latest Ferrari fallout as Charles Leclerc exploded on the radio after the race over his teammate racing him.
All that and a lot more caught-up news on the next Motorsport101!
