Formula Wrapped: Max Girlies, McLaren Mysteries & What’s Next

It’s the end of the longest season of F1 yet and we’re going full Formula Wrapped. MVPs, favorite moments, biggest surprises, and the storylines that actually defined the season.

We finally crack the McLaren mystery of what really happened with Piastri—the turning point no one fully explained all year. 

Somewhere along the way, we both became Max & Red Bull girlies. We're acknowledging it, processing it, moving through it. What made this the season Max went from inevitable to… oddly compelling?

Looking ahead: who’s set up to be world champion over the next few years—and what does that mean for Lando? Was this a one-and-done fairytale, or the quiet beginning of a real era?

And finally, offseason watch. 2026 means reg changes, Cadillac on the grid, team principal makeovers and much more. In the meantime, have a wild winter break—we'll see y'all before you know it for another round of predictions!
