• And Red Bull left with more questions than answers

Plus, we get into what this result means for the title fight — and whether Suzuka exposed bigger issues for F1 going forward.

Suzuka is one of F1’s most iconic tracks… but let’s be honest, the racing hasn’t exactly lived up to the hype in recent years. So — is that about to change?

This week on the Everything Trackside Podcast, we preview the Japanese Grand Prix and ask whether the new regulations can finally bring the old Suzuka back. Could we actually see overtakes in places like 130R? Stranger things have already happened this season.

We get into:

• Mercedes’ scary strong start (and are they holding back?)
• Ferrari vs Mercedes — is it engine vs aero?
• Red Bull question marks and Max in revenge mode
• McLaren’s reliability nightmare
• Haas hype train (yes, really)
• And the absolute chaos going on behind the scenes at Aston Martin & Audi

Plenty of bold predictions, a few hot takes, and the usual bit of nonsense along the way.

Formula 1 is officially back — and the 2026 season kicked off with a chaotic and fascinating Australian Grand Prix.

In this episode of the Everything Trackside Podcast, Seán, Coops, James, and Mairéad break down everything from the season opener in Melbourne. 

George Russell took the victory in a race packed with overtakes and strategy battles, while Ferrari once again managed to become their own worst enemies on race day. 

The team also dives into one of the biggest talking points of the weekend — the new engine regulations. Qualifying in particular sparked major debate, with drivers losing huge speed on straights due to energy harvesting and downshifting mid-straight, something many fans and drivers found frustrating to watch. 

Despite the qualifying controversy, the race itself delivered plenty of action, with over 120 overtakes compared to just 45 last year, showing that the new era of Formula 1 might still produce exciting racing. 

The crew also rate the race, discuss the biggest winners and losers from the weekend, debate whether the new regulations need fixing, and look ahead to next week’s Chinese Grand Prix.

Checkout this amazing video of Lynda Britten - https://youtu.be/kdkXVmnjSI0 

🏁 In this episode:

• George Russell’s race-winning performance
• Ferrari’s strategy mistakes… again
• The controversial new engine behaviour in qualifying
• Race ratings and standout drivers
• Early season championship implications
• Looking ahead to China
