The 2026 Formula 1 season has completely flipped the championship on its head, and we had to talk about it. In this episode of Driver’s Seat, Lex Borrero and Sean O’Neill leave the studio behind and jump into the driver’s seat of a Ferrari F430 for one of our most immersive conversations yet. As we cruise through the streets of Miami, we break down everything happening in the 2026 Formula 1 season, from Lewis Hamilton’s resurgence at Ferrari to Kimi Antonelli’s incredible championship run, George Russell’s fight to stay relevant, Max Verstappen’s uncertain future at Red Bull, Carlos Sainz’s difficult transition to Williams, Fernando Alonso’s next move, and whether McLaren has already lost its title defense. Can Lewis Hamilton really win an eighth Formula 1 World Championship with Ferrari? Has Kimi Antonelli officially become Mercedes’ new number one driver? Is George Russell running out of time? Should Max Verstappen leave Red Bull? And is Ferrari finally building a car capable of winning another Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championship? From Ferrari strategy, Mercedes’ rise, McLaren’s struggles, Red Bull’s leadership changes, and the biggest driver market rumors, to our predictions for the second half of the Formula 1 season, this is one of our biggest F1 discussions yet. If you’re a fan of Formula 1, Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Mercedes, McLaren, Red Bull Racing, Kimi Antonelli, George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, and the future of the F1 championship.
