   F1 Espresso News: Madrid's Dull Race, the 2027 F1 Calendar Shake-Up & Monaco's Sprint Move

   This week I break down Madrid, one of the worst races I've seen this season, plus the headline changes in the 2027 F1 calendar, including Monaco joining the Sprint format. I get into why Madrid's layout killed the racing more than strategy did, the Hamilton and Verstappen clash on lap one, and why I don't think changing the safety car rules is the answer. Then it's onto 2027: Bahrain opening the season, Abu Dhabi closing it, Sprint weekends loaded into the title run-in, and why Monaco getting a Sprint is a commercial call more than a sporting one. I also cover the calendar gap that avoids clashing with Le Mans and the Indy 500, what that could mean for Lando Norris, plus the latest driver market rumours: Ocon, Freddie Slater's F3-to-F2 move, Isack Hadjar's injury and what it means for Red Bull, and Arvid Lindblad's rise.

   F1 Espresso News: Ferrari's Number One Dilemma, Mercedes Team Orders & Latest F1 News

   Should Ferrari back Hamilton over Leclerc? This week I break down the number one debate, plus Mercedes team orders at Zandvoort, the FIA stepping in over abuse aimed at stewards, and Monaco's third place still unresolved two months on. I get into why Russell was asked to move for Antonelli, the fallout from Colapinto's penalty, and why the 2027 driver market is looking far more settled than anyone expected — even with a few teams still working through it.

   F1 Espresso News: Dutch Grand Prix 2026 Preview & Latest News

   Dutch Grand Prix 2026 preview and the latest Formula One news: Isack Hadjar's wrist injury throws Red Bull's line-up into doubt, Alex Albon locks down a 2027 Williams deal, and Cadillac start a new era under Marcin Budkowski. I walk through what a Hadjar/Lawson/Tsunoda shuffle would actually mean for Red Bull, why Williams' Albon extension reads as a prove-it deal both ways, and what Cadillac's leadership change signals about the team moving from start-up mode into real development. Plus Mercedes' championship lead under pressure, McLaren's rear-focused Zandvoort upgrade, Aston Martin and Honda's new power unit debut, and a full track and tyre breakdown for Zandvoort's Sprint weekend.
