About this episode
The episode discusses insights from pre-season testing and reviews Drive to Survive Season 8.
Testing gives us hints, not answers. In this episode, I sort through the noise from pre season testing and share what I’m actually buying into ahead of Australia, from potential dark horses to early warning signs for some big teams. Plus, thoughts on Drive to Survive Season 8, what worked, what felt overproduced, and what the future of the show might look like as F1 continues to evolve.
