On Friday, Esteban Ocon was preparing for qualifying...but by Saturday morning, Ryo Hirakawa was in his Haas. How on earth did we get here, ladderfolk?

Haas hasn’t explained its decision and Ocon has denied allegations of something worse. So let’s look at what we actually know. Could Rafael Camara get an early F1 debut? And can Ocon find his way back? Is there even a chance for Jack Doohan?

Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson clash on track...in practice. HUH?!

On Friday, the second practice session of the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix, we saw two Formula 1 drivers make contact. Weird, huh? But what made this even worse was that there was a PROPER consequence for BOTH drivers. Both Red Bull drivers got a grid drop for a "clumsy" and "unnecessary" move into the final sector of the Mexican circuit.

And Max's comments afterwards went for Liam's seat. Low blow or a fair assessement?

What does George Russell do? A Bottas, a Ricciardo...or a ROSBERG?

George Russell CAN win in this Mercedes. So why is Kimi Antonelli getting so much more out of it? Let's discuss, shall we? Would leaving Toto Wolff's F1 team really fix anything? My verdict? Give Mercedes another year, George.

Valtteri Bottas’s Cadillac F1 seat is under threat.

My friends, Colton Herta’s 19th in Formula 2 and he’s still in contention to replace Grand Prix winner Valtteri Bottas...are they serious? With Checo's future secured through 2029 announced at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Cadillac’s second seat has a potential new purpose. One which may not need experience...but this first year for the new American F1 team hasn't been as simple as they would like. Are they in a position to make driver changes?

There's also other candidates who might be ready in time for 2028. Could committing to Herta in 2027 be too hasty?

Put the copium down for a sec...because Bridgestone and Michelin are curious about an F1 return.

Get the 2006 season review out, because Formula 1’s nostalgia cupboard is getting a proper rummage. Bridgestone is reportedly chasing an F1 return with Michelin also exploring its options; all alongside the return of F1 V8s. Lovely stuff! Except the reported tyre opportunity from 2029 is for one exclusive supplier, while those V8s keep a turbo and hybrid system. So how much old-school F1 are you actually getting? The FIA is, as usual these days, NOT QUITE giving us the full picture. Why?
