Is everyone jealous of Ferrari's secret ingredient? Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

The start of the season is just around the corner! So with the final testing complete - who's on top and who's got work to do?

Lots of testing is smoke and mirrors, but have Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton played a blinder with their fancy starts and new wing?
