Why F1's 2027 silly season stopped being silly
F1's 2027 grid was supposed to be shaken up by new rules - instead, almost nobody is moving

It’s a big one… Our 100th podcast here at Motor Sport and it’s the first one in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. It was also our first podcast al fresco in the British summer sun.
Derek Warwick was on his usual fantastic form and we cover everything from nicking his Dad’s engines in Superstox to his Uncle Stan flying aeroplanes under Tower Bridge (yes, really). We also find time to talk about sports cars, Formula 1 and young British driving talent.
