On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Fred Smith, Motorsports Editor for Road & Track. Fred & JB recap the Singapore GP, where the opening lap stole the headlines as McLaren teammates Lando Norris & Oscar Piastri made contact. F1 media & fans are split in assigning blame as the Papaya Rules have blurred in recent races. George Russell gets another win, so how does he still not have a contract for the 2026 season? JB turns to preview next weekend’s United States Grand Prix in Austin, where the track layout lends itself to more drama in the McLaren garage. Turn one carries a nine story incline, has led to several incidents in the past, and the hot weather forecast may also play a significant role in our race outcome.

Bedlam In Baku ft. Tommy Kendall
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Tommy Kendall, Motorsports Hall of Fame Driver. Tommy & JB recap a chaotic weekend in Baku, where we saw SIX red flags in qualifying followed up by Oscar Piastri crashing out on lap one of Sunday’s grand prix. Max Verstappen went on to win his second straight race, and the pressure is ratcheting up on McLaren…who appear to have lost the advantage they carried during the first half of the calendar. JB highlights some fantastic results from Baku, as Carlos Sainz gets his first podium with Williams + Kimi Antonelli, Liam Lawson & Yuki Tsunoda holding off the big hitters to finish P4, P5 & P6 respectively. We then turn our attention to Singapore, where a high-speed night race is sure to complicate the drivers’ championship standings!

Max Mixes It Up ft. Massimo Delbo
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Massimo Delbo, Editor of Cavallino Magazine and prominent Italian car journalist. Massimo was at Monza last week, and describes the warm welcome Lewis Hamilton received from the locals in his first “home race.” We also dive into the end of the race, where championship leader Oscar Piastri was asked to concede position to teammate Lando Norris…his closest competitor for the title. JB talks at length about “The Papaya Rules” bending, and how they eventually need to be broken if the title points get tighter. We close out the show by previewing our next race in Baku, a fast street circuit that should see a lot of carryover from last season.

Ferrari Hobbles Home ft. Jodie Kidd
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Jodie Kidd, Top Model, F1 Enthusiast & Top Gear Celebrity Driver. JB & Jodie recap our most eventful race of the season, as the Dutch Grand Prix saw the championship gap widen and multiple DQs. Is the WDC all but decided after Lando Norris’ disqualification? And how does Ferrari turn their fortunes after yet another horrendous result in Zandvoort? JB offers praise for rookie Isack Hadjar, who scored his first career podium by fending off experienced drivers lap after lap. We also preview this weekend’s race at Monza, where the pressure will be squarely on Fred Vasseur, Lewis Hamilton & Charles Leclerc in front of their hometown tifosi. And did Cadillac make the right decision by choosing Valtteri Bottas & Sergio Perez to steer their inaugural team?

The Dominant Duo ft. Dario Franchitti
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Dario Franchitti, 4x INDYCAR Champion and 3x Indy 500 Winner. JB & Dario recap the Hungarian Grand Prix, where the two McLarens dominated at the front despite running split strategies. Dario gives a driver’s perspective on the closing laps, where Oscar Piastri hunted down teammate Lando Norris to a thrilling finish. He gives credit to the McLaren bosses for letting the drivers compete and hints this may evolve into one of the closest championship battles we’ve ever seen. JB sets the stage going into the summer break, alluding to some news we may hear during the down time. It’s the perfect time to reset for Red Bull & Ferrari, as their title hopes have dimmed and cars appear to be fading from an engineering standpoint.
