Episode Could Oscar Piastri REPLACE Max Verstappen & Otmar’s WILD Flavio & Horner Story
Is the Red Bull empire finally cracking? Jake, Otmar and Rob break down the 2026 driver market, debate Max Verstappen’s potential move to Mercedes, and discuss how Mark Webber is shaping Oscar Piastri’s future at McLaren.
Fresh from Florida, the guys react to the "Miami madness," with Otmar sharing his experience balancing F1 duties with his new role at Van Amersfoort Racing. They also unpack George Russell’s rise, Kimi Antonelli’s progress, and Ferrari’s ongoing upgrade struggles.
Step inside the garage as Otmar and Rob expose the "Dark Arts”: the high-stakes, invisible side of Formula 1. From the extreme lengths teams go to for emergency spare parts to Michael Schumacher’s specific race-day rituals, the pair offer a unique technical and human perspective on the logistical chaos behind the pit wall.
The trio also debate the future of F1 engine regulations, Otmar’s push for a return to V8s, and his bid to launch a 12th F1 team. It’s an hour of technical honesty, untold history, and a rare look at the human cost of chasing the podium.
