Pre-Season Testing Recap + Drive To Surv...

Paddock Project Media
About this episode

F1 is back—almost. In this episode, I'm breaking down everything from pre-season testing: who looked fast, who’s got work to do, and what actually matters heading into Round 1. Plus, my unfiltered thoughts on Drive to Survive Season 7—what they nailed, what they missed, and why it still has me hooked. And, of course, a look ahead to the Australian Grand Prix: what to expect from the first race of the season, which teams could surprise us, and why it’s always pure chaos in Melbourne. Let’s get into it.
