    The Styrian Speedrun | 2026 Austrian GP Preview

    The shortest lap on the Formula 1 calendar is here, but there's plenty to unpack. This week, Nisha, Kevin and Aswathy break down the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, from the rollercoaster elevation changes and Max Verstappen's "hand around a Red Bull can" track layout, to how the new 2026 cars could behave in Austria's thin mountain air. Before that, we dive into the FIA's latest controversy. Pierre Gasly's Monaco podium was taken away, given back, and is now at the centre of yet another appeal. What does this mean for Formula 1, and could we be heading into an era where lawyers become as important as race engineers? We also cover Ferrari and Red Bull's latest upgrades, why Williams are expecting a difficult weekend, Cadillac's ambitious plans, tyre strategy, weather, and of course, our podium predictions. Whether you're brand new to Formula 1 or you've been watching for years, this is your guide to the Austrian Grand Prix.

    The Count of Monte Carlo | 2026 Monaco GP Preview

    The Formula 1 circus heads to Monte Carlo for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, and we're tackling the most famous race on the calendar. Join Kevin, Nisha, first-time guest Lijo, and special guest Nina as we preview a race that every F1 fan knows, whether they've watched Formula 1 for ten years or ten minutes. From luxury yachts and impossible overtakes to the legendary Tunnel, Swimming Pool complex, La Rascasse and Casino Square, we take a sensory lap around the streets of Monaco and explain why winning here still means more than almost anywhere else. We also look back at the Canadian Grand Prix, debate whether Monaco deserves its place on the modern Formula 1 calendar, discuss Ferrari's chances around a circuit built for driver skill rather than outright speed, and break down the strategic chaos that could come from mandatory pit stops, resurfaced sections of track, and another year of teams gambling for track position. Whether you're a new Formula 1 fan trying to understand what makes Monaco special, or a long-time fan preparing for race weekend, this episode is your complete beginner-friendly guide to the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix. Welcome to F101 — the h 1 podcast trying to teach you about F1 without gatekeeping.
