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.

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.

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.

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.

JB sets the stage going into the summer break, alluding to some news we may hear during the down time.

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes John Watson, former McLaren Driver & F1 Presenter. JB & Wattie recap the British Grand Prix, where weather and the FIA stole the headlines for raining on Oscar Piastri’s dominant day. Was his 10-second penalty too harsh considering the pace he had and the track conditions? Regardless, Piastri’s teammate Lando Norris notched his second consecutive victory to tighten up the championship gap to just eight points at our halfway mark of the season. JB goes on to preview the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, where weather will likely be a factor once again. How will Piastri & Max Verstappen rebound after a frustrating stretch?

James recaps the weekend at Imola, where his team notched a third straight double-points finish.

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Chris Medland, F1TV Presenter & SiriusXM Host. Chris takes you inside the paddock at the Miami GP, where vibes were high as McLaren swept the weekend. Oscar Piastri notched his third straight victory, but Chris hints he wasn’t even in top form. As for his teammate Lando Norris, there was certainly some positive momentum headed into the European swing to capture a win of his own very soon. Justin & Chris try to diagnose Ferrari’s woes, as the pressure ratchets up going into Imola week. Both agree that the team is to blame for a slow car at this point, and a potential media firestorm looms if they can’t strike gold with some major upgrades.

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes David Hobbs, former Formula 1 Driver for McLaren and Motorsports Hall of Famer. David shares his take on what happened in the first corner of the Saudi GP, and loves how Oscar Piastri gave Max Verstappen a taste of his own medicine in such a high-pressure moment. Piastri has now won 3 of the first 5 races, and the hunter will now become the hunted…does the 24yo have what it takes to hold off everyone’s best shot and win a title? Justin can’t believe the reports that Aston Martin is offering over $275 million for Verstappen, but that’s what we said about similar reports last year when Lewis Hamilton was being courted by Ferrari. Speaking of Hamilton, are his early season woes a result of the car, or his driving? Follow, rate & review with any comments & questions for Justin - we’d love to hear from you!

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Stefan Johansson, former Formula 1 Driver for Ferrari & McLaren and current Driver Manager. Stefan reacts to a massive weekend at the Bahrain GP for Oscar Piastri, and explains how the entire complexion of the McLaren team could be changing before our eyes. Just a few short weeks after a spinout in Melbourne, Piastri is now the odds-on favorite to win the 2025 World Drivers Championship. Team orders and priority within the McLaren garage could immediately shift to Piastri, as Lando Norris has displayed spiraling emotions off the track and silly self-inflicted errors between the white lines. We give George Russell his flowers for continued consistency, as he’s now finished P5 or better over the last nine races…all while bringing along emerging 18yo phenom Kimi Antonelli as a teammate. Justin & Stefan also focus on the increased importance of the drivers’ tyre management, as qualifying rounds for every GP this season have been so closely contested.

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Guenther Steiner, former Team Principal for Hass F1 and author of Unfiltered: My Incredible Decade in Formula 1. Guenther recaps the Japanese Grand Prix, where a mostly uneventful race was dominated wire-to-wire by Max Verstappen. What exactly makes Max such a remarkable driver? And will the quicker McLarens be able to dethrone him as Drivers Champion with their two-pronged approach? We also dissect Lewis Hamilton’s continuing transition to Ferrari, where he appears to be lacking in consistency early on. While young Kimi Antonelli remains steady at the wheel for the Silver Arrows, the rest of the rookie class are making very costly mistakes that could jeopardize their seats if they continue to wreck their cars.

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Danny Sullivan, former F1 driver and Indy 500 winner. Danny recaps the Chinese GP, where the stakes were high in Shanghai for Round 2. We talk about Ferrari’s 180 degree turn from a Sprint win on Saturday, to double-DQs on Sunday. Oscar Piastri’s win vaults McLaren to the top of the points, and we can already start to see drama building between their drivers. We also dive into the Liam Lawson / Yuki Tsunoda soap opera, where it appears Yuki is on the verge of being promoted at his home track next week. Why has that second Red Bull seat led to so many early exits? And is their car simply “undriveable” for anyone not named Verstappen?

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes James Hinchcliffe, F1TV & INDYCAR Analyst + current IMSA driver. James shares his thoughts on last weekend’s chaotic Australian GP. The McLarens look dominant, and after that it’s anyone’s race. He expects rookies to show vast improvement in dry conditions, and addresses Isack Hadjar’s emotional exit before lights out. We also dive into Lewis Hamilton’s cringeworthy radio comms with his new engineer, Mercedes positioning themselves perfectly in the closing laps and Red Bull’s uphill battle for constructors points.
