    Race Review | 2026 Mexican Grand Prix | 212 | Kimi Antonelli Becomes F1's Youngest World Champion. Then Two Ferraris Met in Turn Four.

    Kimi Antonelli clinched the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship at the Mexican Grand Prix, becoming the youngest world champion the sport has ever had. That should have been the whole story. Instead, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton met in turn four, and Max Verstappen, without the fastest car, took the win. Dick saw a powder keg before the day job pulled him away. Joe Saward explains the difference between rules of engagement and team orders, and who, exactly, is supposed to fix Ferrari. Sabrina has to be honest about a driver she roots for. Haas replaced Esteban Ocon overnight, and Ryo Hirakawa scored a point on his Formula 1 debut, something Joe calls very rare. The noise online got loud fast. Sabrina and Joe try to look past it. And Valtteri Bottas's suspension failed at Cadillac. Joe has a theory about why it happened here. Then the conversation turns to Joe's JSBM Newsletter, and a story bigger than one race. France, the cradle of motorsport, is stepping back: Renault has agreed to sell its Viry-Châtillon engine base, and the French government has taken power away from the country's motorsport federation. Is that a warning the FIA should be heeding? Meanwhile, American money keeps pouring into Formula 1, with Adobe arriving at Alpine. And the FIA's new remote operations center at Biggin Hill will help watch races from England. Will it make the calls any clearer? Joe thinks America needs another Grand Prix. Sabrina is the American, and she said no. Check out Joe online: JSBM NewsletterGrand Prix+The Green NotebookSend us Fan Mail Support the show Have episode feedback or ideas?

    F1 General | Joe Unplugged | 211 | Who Best Develops Talent Beyond Just Drivers?

    Listener Dave asked a question we don't hear often enough:  which team principals are actually best at developing the people on their team, not just the drivers, but engineers, mechanics, and everyone else who makes up a modern F1 operation.  Joe Saward is candid about the limits of what outsiders can really judge, then names the leadership qualities he thinks matter most: the ability to listen, to empower, and to build a team that will go home two hours late instead of five minutes early. Dick connects it to lessons from coaching and running a business of his own. They turn it into something closer to a masterclass in leadership than a Formula 1 discussion, touching on the psychology of long-haul travel and why a team principal is more like a cruise ship captain than a CEO. The conversation ranges from management styles at the top teams to why some F1 engineers left aerospace for the sport, to the medical and psychological toll of the travel schedule most fans never think about. Whether any team principal has this fully figured out is left for the listener to decide.

    Race Review | 210 | 2026 United States Grand Prix | Kimi Antonelli Dominates COTA. Now Only Mexico Stands Between Him and the Title.

    Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 United States Grand Prix at COTA. Joe Saward says that, barring a miracle, he will be crowned world champion at the very next race. Ferrari looked strong all weekend and still left Austin without converting. Max Verstappen was unhappy on the radio and finished on the podium anyway. And with Mexico City next, Dick explains why altitude turns the setup puzzle upside down. But the story Sabrina couldn’t stop thinking about was on the other side of the garage. George Russell and Oscar Piastri are proven race winners, and right now their teammates are beating them. So she asks Dick, a championship-winning racer himself, the question most coverage skips: how does a driver at this level work through that?

    F1 General | Joe Unplugged | 209 | Could F1 Manage Without Ferrari? Could Ferrari Manage Without F1?

    Listener Troy framed it as a debate: could Formula 1 manage without Ferrari? And could Ferrari manage without Formula 1?  Dick, Joe Saward, and Sabrina take on both sides.  Joe walks through Ferrari's structural advantages, from veto rights to historical bonus payments, and challenges the assumption that money alone explains the team's power. Dick brings an unexpected comparison from his years working for the Dallas Cowboys, and the conversation ends up somewhere neither debate topic anticipated: aspirational marketing, merchandise, and why the New York Yankees might be the most useful comparison of all. Troy's question turns out to have two different answers, and neither one is simple.

    Interview | Truly Adams | Young American Driver | 208 | At Fourteen, He's Running His Own Sponsorship Business

    Does growing up on your family's own racetrack make the climb to Formula One any easier?  Dick and Sabrina sit down with Truly Adams, whose family owns and operates Adams Motorsports Park in California, and who was literally sitting on his dad's lap on track before he could walk. They get into what changed technically in the jump from a KZ shifter kart to a Formula 4 car, how Truly thinks about return on investment for the sponsors backing him, and the daily reality of a fourteen-year-old spending as much time on the phone pitching partners as he does turning laps. There's a number in this conversation, what a season of Formula 4 actually costs, that reframes everything else he says about talent. Whether a racetrack in the family changes that math at all is left open.

    F1 General | Joe Unplugged | 207 | Why Did F1 Teams Resist the Andretti Entry? Is There History There?

    Listener Jake, a newer fan, asked why it seemed like Formula 1 teams didn't want Andretti entering the sport, and whether there's history behind it.  Joe Saward lays out what actually happened: Michael Andretti's attempt to buy an existing team, the FIA's approval of a new entry over the objections of Formula One's commercial rights holder, and a legal fight from a rejected rival bidder that eventually exposed bias in the process. Dick brings the American perspective on the Andretti name and its limits outside the U.S.  Along the way, they cover a U.S. government investigation that ultimately helped resolve the standoff, and how a private equity-backed Cadillac entry ended up succeeding where the Andretti name alone could not. Whether this was a one-off or a preview of how F1 will handle the next disruptor is where they leave it.

    Race Review | 206 | 2026 Singapore Grand Prix | Verstappen Finally Wins Singapore

    Max Verstappen finally won the Singapore Grand Prix, from pole, at the one race that had always gotten away from him. Charles Leclerc finished second. Kimi Antonelli finished third. For long stretches, that was about all there was to say. So Dick, Joe Saward, and Sabrina spend this race review on a harder question: can a race be dull and still be Formula 1? Joe has covered decades of races where nothing happened. Dick knows what a real pass takes from behind the wheel. Sabrina keeps coming back to the newer fan who set an early alarm, or flew halfway around the world, and got this one. And then there is the sprint, which gave us more drama on Saturday than Sunday did. Joe explains exactly why it exists. Whether that is a good enough reason is left wide open. Lewis Hamilton started third and finished sixth. The McLaren teammates collided in the sprint, and Joe has a clear read on the fallout, including what it means for Oscar Piastri. Kimi Antonelli can mathematically clinch the championship at COTA. Mathematically. Joe has also been reading the teams’ financial returns, and the numbers are not what most fans would guess, including which team gets the most for its money. And Formula 1 is heading back to Africa, to Rwanda, in the early 2030s. Joe explains who is helping pay for it, and why. Plus, listener Rao asked a question about a team name that turned out to be bigger than it sounds. It is getting its own conversation. A first win that barely registered. A Saturday that may have stolen Sunday’s thunder. And a sport still deciding how much patience it can ask of you. And one slip of the tongue we told our editor to keep in.

    F1 General | Joe Unplugged | 205 | Drivers and the Press

    This conversation wasn't on the agenda.  After Dick and Sabrina wrapped a conversation with Joe Saward about parents supporting young racers, Joe made an offhand comment that turned into its own episode: what drivers, and their parents, actually need to understand about the press. Joe describes the driver-media relationship as exactly that, a relationship, not a transaction, and walks through what separates the drivers the press trusts from the ones they don't. He talks about the British-dominated media landscape, the danger of media training that just teaches drivers what not to say, and a story about a driver he met at thirteen that shaped a decades-long relationship. Dick brings the parent's perspective, and the three of them get into where trust actually breaks down, and how hard it is to rebuild once it does.
