US GP: Max Verstappen, World Champion?

The Fools head stateside for the United States Grand Prix — and while the racing might’ve been flatter than Texas itself, Max Verstappen reminded everyone why he’s still the benchmark. David calls him “a guru” after another flawless weekend, but is the title race already over? Skin’s got questions about wide corners, double apexes, while David’s losing patience with cautious strategies and championship slip-ups from McLaren.


Plus: who’s the real fool this weekend — Oscar Piastri for his slump, or Yuki Tsunoda for that wild move on Ollie Bearman?


Fast takes, foolish debates, and Max dominance. It’s the Formula Fools US GP review.

Singapore GP: Norris in the bad books?

Tension is brewing in Papaya Land. After the Singapore GP, Lando’s aggressive move on Oscar had fans fuming and McLaren’s “no-contact” rule in tatters. David thinks Norris showed champion material — Skin’s not so sure. We break down the incident, the fallout, and why McLaren’s team management might just cost them Oscar in the long run. Plus, Skin’s hot takes on Mercedes’ redemption, Red Bull’s random meltdown, and why Lance and Fernando deserve their own buddy comedy.


It’s drama, controversy, and papaya-flavoured chaos — welcome to the Singapore GP edition of Formula Fools.

Azerbijan GP - Carlos Sainz Master Class

The streets of Azerbaijan turned into a game of “who can keep it out of the wall?” and Carlos Sainz showed everyone how it’s done. In this week’s Formula Fools, David and Skin break down Sainz’s podium heroics in the Williams, a Racing Bulls double points haul, and a McLaren weekend to forget — yes, Oscar, we’re looking at you.


Skin’s hot takes dive into the wild qualifying session, why wind suddenly became F1’s biggest enemy, and whether Oscar’s rough weekend says more about pressure or perspective. Plus, Driver of the Day, Biggest Letdown, and a chat on why Mercedes quietly pulled off one of their best weekends of the season.


It’s gurus, fools, and everything in between — Azerbaijan style.

F1’s Regulation Changes for 2026!

The ground-effect era is on its last lap, and Formula 1 is about to hit the reset button. In 2026, the sport is getting smaller, lighter cars, radical new active aerodynamics, and power units that are 50% battery, 50% engine. Oh, and don’t forget sustainable fuel, an overtaking boost button, and some safety upgrades that could change how crashes are handled.


In this episode, the Fools break down the biggest rule shake-up since 2014 — from scrapping DRS for X-Mode and Z-Mode, to the insane jump in electric power, to whether 30% less downforce really means better racing. Will this revolution bring wheel-to-wheel action back to classic tracks like Monaco, or just give drivers even more buttons to press?

Italian GP - Does McLaren Have a Favorite

The Italian Grand Prix gave us drama from the start to the finish, with McLaren’s call to swap Lando and Oscar stealing the spotlight. Was the team protecting their star, or just undoing a botched pit stop? We dive into why Piastri looked so aggressive, why everyone thinks turn 1 is the place to send it, and how Max somehow went from giving up places to cruising to a huge victory.


Plus, we ask the real questions: Did Sainz dodge a penalty he should’ve had? What on earth does a suspension failure mean for Alonso (and why did it have to be him)? And why is Lawson once again taking “no prisoners” a bit too literally with Tsunoda?


Strap in as we break down the chaos, the strategy, and the very questionable decisions from Monza.

Dutch GP - Lando Loses Hope!
The Dutch GP had it all – Oscar Piastri pulls off his first career Grand Slam, while poor Lando’s hopes literally go up in smoke. Max Verstappen reminds us why he’s ridiculous with a daring overtake on the limit, and Ferrari… well, Ferrari did Ferrari things again. We also dive into Alex Albon’s miracle drive, Isack Hadjar’s podium-worthy grit, and Skin’s confusion over missing wheels, pit light blunders, and whether Mercedes’ strategy ever makes sense.

Hungarian GP – Do McLaren Have a FAVOURITE?!

It was a Hungarian Grand Prix full of head-scratchers and hot takes — from Leclerc’s shock pole to his mysterious chassis collapse, to McLaren’s strategy masterclass (or was it sabotage?) that left Oscar fans fuming.


David breaks down how Ferrari managed to undo a front-row start, Hamilton’s bizarre post-quali comments, and whether Red Bull are in real trouble. Meanwhile, Skin’s asking all the big questions: was Oscar stitched up? Did Norris just wing it? And what even is a chassis problem?


Plus, surprise pace from Alonso and Bortoleto, Williams disappearing entirely, and Max Verstappen gets called out in the Fool segment.

Belgium GP - Hamilton MASTERCLASS At Spa!

Buckle up for a drenched and dramatic Belgian Grand Prix as David breaks down a wet and wild weekend at Spa — where Lewis Hamilton rose from the pit lane to deliver a race-day clinic. Oscar Piastri nailed his restart, Alex Albon turned defence into an art form, and Ferrari somehow got a strategy right (yes, really).


Meanwhile, Lando Norris had another weekend to forget, with costly errors and coaching overload casting doubt on his title credentials. Skin asks all the right questions — from rolling starts to battery clipping to why tire degradation sounds like falling off a cliff. Plus, we hand out Guru of the Week and crown this round’s Formula Fool.


It’s slippery, it’s savage, and it’s Spa. Let’s get foolish.

British GP – NICO HÜLKENBERG’S FIRST PODIUM

This week, the unthinkable finally happened: Nico Hülkenberg stood on a Formula 1 podium… and the entire motorsport world wept with joy. In his 239th race, starting from P19, the Hulk pulled off a strategic masterclass to secure P3 at Silverstone and we break down every glorious detail.


Elsewhere, Lando Norris won in front of the home crowd (with a little help from the stewards), Oscar got hit with a harsh penalty (and hit back with some press conference sass), and Max had one of his weirdest weekends in a while. Plus: Ferrari confusion, Mercedes misery, and some truly iconic Skin Hot Takes, including whether Nico is actually the greatest driver of all time.


We also hand out our Hero and Fool of the Day, question the FIA’s penalty logic, and try to figure out how the hell Lance Stroll went from P4 to P7 in two laps.

Austrian GP – McLaren Master Class

This week, David and Skin break down a blockbuster Austrian Grand Prix that saw McLaren deliver a dominant 1-2 finish – and maybe Lando’s best race of the year. From Norris securing the biggest pole gap of the season to Piastri’s slick move on Leclerc, it was a weekend that underlined the papaya resurgence.


We unpack how Liam Lawson embarrassed the Red Bulls on their home turf, why Ferrari looked sharper compared to Canada, and what on earth happened to Williams after such a promising start. Skin’s Hot Takes cover everything from Carlos Sainz’s fiery brake drama to Antonelli’s bowling ball impression – and yes, there’s a story about a Supra in second gear.


Plus: Kick Sauber’s sensational points haul, Christian Horner’s unforgettable exhaust pipe quote, and our picks for Driver of the Day and the biggest letdown.

Canadian GP - Lando's Out The Race!

The Canadian Grand Prix delivered chaos, class, and a clash of the McLaren titans. David breaks down that Lap 67 moment, was it Oscar’s elite defending or Lando’s missed chance that caused the collision?

Plus:

– George Russell’s flawless win

– Kimi’s maiden podium (and is he actually that good?)

– Alex Albon vs Williams Strategy (again)

– And… what the hell blew up in Q1?

David tries to make sense of Red Bull’s questionable strategy calls and Max’s bump-and-run on George, while Skin grapples with gravel traps, invisible blue flags. There’s love for Oscar, confusion over dirty air vs. tow, and a suspicious amount of praise for Hulk. Oh, and Hamilton’s Ferrari? Let’s just say… it’s not giving Prancing Horse.

Can the MONACO GP be fixed?!
David and Skin tackle one of the biggest head-scratchers in motorsport: how to fix the Monaco Grand Prix. From wider cars and narrow track sections to crazy pit stop rules and unpredictable weather, we break down what’s holding back overtaking and why fans still flock to the iconic streets of Monte Carlo. Could tweaking the layout or shrinking the cars bring back the magic? Or should we just embrace Monaco as a one-of-a-kind spectacle where qualifying is the real race?
