Formula 1 heads into the summer break, so Jake, Otmar and Rob hand out their mid-season report cards, grading every team out of 10 and explaining exactly why. Mercedes earned top marks after the strongest first half of the season, but George Russell's reliability issues sparked a debate over what might have been in both championship battles. They then assess Ferrari, McLaren and an underperforming Red Bull, before turning their attention to Alpine, Racing Bulls, Haas, Audi, Williams and Aston Martin. Plus, they rate the drivers, examine whether Kimi Antonelli's championship lead can still be overturned, and welcome back Bullshit Corner, complete with its own leaderboard and your latest nominations.
