The Red Flags Podcast

George Russell takes the inaugural 2026 F1 season win in Melbourne, but
we gotta talk about Ferrari's strategy fumble! Matt and Brian break down
the wild race start, Charles Leclerc’s rocket launch off the line, the
incredible battle for the lead, and Ferrari handing Mercedes the race.
We also cover the new 2026 engine regulations and reliability drama,
whether Ferrari has the pace to challenge Mercedes, Arvid Lindblad’s
incredible debut, and why Merc might already have the championship
advantage. Plus, we're back with our race awards: Daddy, Hottest Moment,
Red Flag, Karen and Radio of the Day, and our predictions for the
Chinese GP.
