In this episode of the Drive Time Podcast, I look at the drivers who have stood out during the 2026 Formula 1 season so far, as well as those who have struggled to deliver, and crown who has been best and who has been worst.
Don’t forget to send me your best and worst drivers of the season so far, email laurence@offthegridf1.co.uk
With the championship battle beginning to take shape, I discuss the performances, expectations, car performance, reliability issues, and circumstances that have influenced the drivers’ seasons. I also consider why judging a driver purely by results can be misleading when the machinery beneath them varies so much.

Ferrari face a brutal question: should they back Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc? In this episode, I break down why I think Ferrari need to make a hard call if they want to chase championship glory, and why Hamilton may be the stronger bet right now.
I also look at the driver market “silly season” that could reshape the grid.
Should Ferrari choose the safe team strategy, or go all-in on one driver? And who moves first when the dominos start to fall? Share your thoughts and voice notes, I want to hear what you think.

In this first episode of Drive Time, I break down the latest Formula 1 championship battle and ask whether Mercedes are starting to feel the pressure.
Despite their strong start to the season, engine reliability issues and growing competition from Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull could make the title fight much more open in the second half of the year.
I also look at George Russell’s comeback chances, Kimi Antonelli’s impressive form under pressure, and whether Ferrari need to back one driver if they want to stay in contention.
