Testing Report | Ferrari & Aston - A tale of two tailspins

“Send us a Hey Now!”

Well testing is over and now we wait for the new season to start! 

We reflect on what all three testing sessions told (or didn't tell) us, we reflect on moments of innovation, impact of new regs, and we also rank where we think each team is based on what we know.

Episode running order as always is...

1) News & Social

• All the best bits from both the sports news out there as well as what caught our eye on the various social channels 

2) Brian's Video Vault             

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs7PcFX-Tmw. The Biggest Technical Innovations Spotted At F1 Testing! | F1 TV Tech Talk | 2026 Bahrain Testing. Formula 1 channel. 12 mins. 

3) Cadillac Corner

• Updates from the team covering what they don't buy from Ferrari, F2 ambitions, and the Cadillac whiskey sour

4) Final Testing Report Card
