McLaren has officially taken their second Constructor's Championship in a row, a feat of excellence the team hasn't managed since the 90's. But, as things heated up in Singapore, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri continue to debate the idea of fairness on track and Papaya Rules.

Plus, Lewis Hamilton's troubles at Ferrari continue, Max Verstappen isn't out of the title fight yet, and F1 broadcasting has to show us more of the midfield racing. And, a little bit of movement in F2 speaks to the future of Red Bull Racing as they revamp the organization.

Papaya Rules are So Over: F1 Singapore Race Recap

Formula 1 has broken into Hollywood in a huge way. F1 the movie was a partnership like we'd never seen before, bringing Lewis Hamilton, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Brad Pitt together for what would ultimately become the highest grossing sports movie in history, and an Oscar winning film. But Formula 1 has quietly been building a television and film strategy for years. 

Starting in 2017, when Liberty Media first acquired F1, the team looked for new ways to bring a different audience into the sport, expanding hopefully into the US, where the sport had never been as popular as NASCAR or IndyCar. That led to the creation of Drive To Survive, a docuseries with reality TV flare that was so successful, we've seen a ton of sports attempt to copy it, including Tennis, Rugby, Golf, and the NHL. 

When F1 the movie brought in scripted TV, F1 as a sport also expanded their plan. F1: The Academy, a docuseries in the vein of Drive To Survive, this time focused on the all-female development series. A comedic, driver focused series hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date. And, still in development, officially sanctioned scripted TV projects. As we see the rise of sports fiction, like Heated Rivalry and Challengers, and pop culture / sports crossovers, like Taylor Swift, Hailee Steinfeld, and the NFL, bring new fans to sports, it seems like Formula 1 is way ahead of the curve with original programming.

F1 Is Ready For Their Taylor Swift Moment 

F1 headed to China this weekend, bringing us our first sprint race weekend of the season, two race cancellations for April, and Kimi Antonelli's first Grand Prix victory. Off track, Esteban Ocon released his pre-race playlist, and F1 the Movie took home an Academy Award. And, F1 Academy returned to the grid for their season start. 

New regulations continue to cause reliability issues, with only 15 out of 22 cars crossing the finish line. McLaren didn't start the race, Williams and Aston Martin continue to have problems, and Max Verstappen was forced to retire the car. 

For our main story, we're breaking down the inherent issue in having two championships: one team championship in the Constructors Championship, and one individual fight in the World Driver's Championship. As we saw with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, battling between teammates is to be expected, but it also opens the team up to losing points in Constructors. And, as Kimi Antonelli becomes more competitive, we may see the same kind of on track behavior pick up at Mercedes. 

Buckle up as we break down the Chinese Grand Prix!

Kimi Antonelli Wins China & F1 Wins an Oscar! 

F1's new season has been all about change. New regulations, new drivers, and in the US, a new home for Formula 1. Apple TV has been met with mixed reviews, bonus content, and one big playlist from Ollie Bearman. Regulation changes brought reliability issues for multiple teams, with a shock crash from Max Verstappen and early retirement for Isack Hadjar, as well as a tough crash from hometown hero, Oscar Piastri. Arvid Lindblad, youngest addition to the grid, showed a strong debut, and Kimi Antonelli made a huge comeback. 

For our main story, we're breaking down whether these regulations are actually good for the sport. With Mercedes taking the early edge, George Russell is an early favorite for World Drivers Champion. But, with a looming deadline from the FIA to change their power unit, they may not have the ability to run away with things. And, now that we've finally seen the regulation changes in action, boost and overtake mode are bringing a Mario Kart energy to the grid. 

Buckle up as we break down the Australian Grand Prix!
