S2 Ep6: Miami Mayhem with Mercedes, McLaren and Max!

The 2026 F1 season is back with a dramatic race in Miami. It looks like the teams have been very busy, even if some of the drivers haven't! Kimi Antonelli become the first ever F1 driver to win his first three races from his first three pole positions and has definitely put George Russell in the shade.

McLaren showed that they've still got it with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris both putting in strong perforrmances and guess who's back! Max Vertsappen has stopped moaning about everything and seemed much happier, plus it was great to see Williams back in the room after a dreadful start to the season.

It was a bank holiday, so everyone is at home, but to discuss all this and more, we welcome a new guest to Essential F1, racing driver, driver coach and F1 commentator, Alice Powell.

Lots to discuss including:

Ben's Miami round up
Are Max Verstappen and Red Bull back?
Can Ferrari actually get a win this season?
Might McLaren be Mercedes' closer competitor now?
Can Williams get back to their 2025 form?
Kimi Antonelli wins again. Is this Piastri all over again or is he 2026 World Champion? George Russell is not happy. Is it just because of this circuit?
Miami was bonkers, but what were the most bonkers bits?
A tribute to Alex Zanardi
We need to talk about Isack Hadjar
A look ahead to the Canadian Grand Prix
Prediction Championship
