F1 people are enjoying their summer break as the three-week Shutdown enters its second week.
But one man who has not shut down is our F1 Writer Ronald Vording, who joins James Allen from the Netherlands to take stock of the season and look ahead to what we can expect when the racing starts again later this month.
Max Verstappen confirmed before the break that he’s not looking to move teams for 2026 and he will race for Red Bull next season. What went on behind the scenes in his decision-making process? What is Max’s state of mind now with 10 rounds to go and no chance of winning the title?
We answer some listener questions and talking points on how McLaren shows no favouritism towards its drivers as they duel for the World Championship.
Where is Lewis Hamilton now on the Motivation-ometer and why is he writing “documents” for Ferrari?
