    Abu Dhabi GP: Lando’s Glory, Red Bull’s Reset & F1’s New Era Begins

    This week on Two Soft Compounds, Rick and Damien Reid wrap up one of the wildest Formula One seasons in years, as Lando Norris clinches his first world title after a nerve-shredding showdown in Abu Dhabi. They break down how McLaren turned their Qatar disaster into a championship-winning strategy, why Verstappen’s two-point heartbreak may reshape Red Bull’s future, and how Norris proved that “nice guys can, in fact, win.” The duo also reflect on the end of an era: Renault’s farewell, Sauber’s rebrand to Audi, DRS gone, and a radical 2026 rulebook that could change everything from aero to power balance. It’s been an incredible season, and the next one starts in just 34 days. All that and more, right here on Two Soft Compounds.

    Qatar GP: Norris Crumbles, Verstappen Hunts and McLaren’s Biggest Gamble Yet

    This week on Two Soft Compounds, Rick Houhgton and Damien Reid break down the chaos from Qatar and set the stage for an all-out championship decider in Abu Dhabi.

The guys debate whether McLaren’s refusal to back a number-one driver could cost them it all, and why Norris may be cracking under the pressure while Piastri quietly circles. They also tackle the toxic fan fallout over Antonelli’s incident, Red Bull’s rookie shuffle, Williams’ shock rise, and the brewing tension at Ferrari as Hamilton’s frustrations boil over. With three drivers in contention and Yas Marina’s chaos waiting, this finale could rewrite F1 history. All that and more, right here on Two Soft Compounds.
