Plus: • Has Aston Martin already built a pole-position chassis? • Is Honda power hiding just how good the car is? • New cost-cap rules and James Vowles’ spending proposal • Christian Horner’s biggest book revelations • How much of Antonelli’s championship lead was built during Mercedes’ early-season dominance? • Listener reckons • Qualifying, race and wildcard predictions PATREON https://www.patreon.com/MissedApex Missed Apex TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@missedapexf1 Spanners https://x.com/SpannersReady https://bsky.app/profile/spannersready.bsky.social Matt Trumpets https://x.com/mattpt55 https://bsky.app/profile/mattpt55.bsky.social Stuffeyy https://www.youtube.com/@stuffeyy Tip jar https://missedapexpodcast.com/tipjar Hosted on Acast.
