Who Survived F1’s Secret 2026 Shakedown? | Podcast Ep 976

F1’s 2026 era has officially hit the track in Barcelona—and the first battle wasn’t lap time, it was reliability. In this episode, we break down the “mileage wars,” who ran into early trouble, why Williams missed the shakedown entirely, and how the new engine “loophole” debate is already heating up. Get the essential testing wrap-up, the real winners and losers, and what to watch heading into Bahrain.
