Episode Show Notes: June 12th, 2025 As the F1 world descends on Montreal, the biggest debate is about the future, not the present. The crew dives headfirst into the controversial 2026 calendar that sees the historic Imola circuit axed in favor of a new street race in Madrid. This move has drawn fiery criticism from Lewis Hamilton, and we break down both sides: Is this a necessary evolution for F1's global brand, or is the sport trading its soul for new markets? We discuss Hamilton's pointed critique and what it means when a seven-time champion publicly questions the sport's direction.

The drama doesn't stop there. We cover all the latest news ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, including Lance Stroll's confirmation at Aston Martin just in time for his home race and HAAS's 200th GP celebration. The team also touches on the unique haptic trailer for the upcoming 'F1' movie, Red Bull's 17-year-old phenom getting his Super License, the mounting pressure on Franco Colapinto, and Ford's electric ultimatum for its future in the sport.
