Episode Details

Formula Ones 2026 season kicks off in Melbourne this weekend, with the Australian Grand Prix. The action unfolds over Friday and Saturday with free practice and qualifying, culminating in the main race on Sunday. New technical rules introduce smaller cars and unknown team orders, marking a fresh era. The 5.278km track has hosted grands prix since 1996, with Michael Schumacher holding the most wins and Lewis Hamilton the most poles. Charles Leclerc set the lap record last year, while Lando Norris won in 2025. The flowing layout is loved by drivers, but overtaking remains challenging. Narrower tires on eighteen-inch rims bring strategy puzzles, with McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, and Ferrari leading. Dry weather is expected, unlike last years showers that helped Norris win on intermediates.
