It's lights out, drop the clutch and lets get RACING!!! Join Huppy, Lachy, Schwags and KT, four Aussie mates passionate about motorsports as they talk all Formula One leading into each race and reviewing the thrills, spills and drama following. Join the statistician, the straight man, the joker and the newbie (you can decide who's who) for tongue in cheek banter as we reflect on the events, the personalities and the moments that make us go ooh and ah, and sometimes wake the house in the middle of the night with cries of frustration as we watch broadcasts from half a world away.

Sprint races, Reverse grids, 2026 calendar and F1's latest curry, it's going to be a HOT one!!!

A very quiet summer break Summer Break so far.

F1 confirms that Sprint races are here to stay and how they are "open to experimentation" to bring more excitement and unpredictability to Formula One with the potential for reverse grid racing.

The DownShift team consider what it would take to make F1 more interesting and even offer to throw their hat in the ring bringing some fun, excitement and bingels to the race track.

The team also look at the upcoming changes to the 2026 track calendar looking to bring some SPICE to the 2026 season with the addition of the Madrid MADRING Grand Prix and tracks that cannot "pony up" with the big bucks dropping off the calendar.
