COTA F1 GP Race Review 2026

Missed Apex Formula 1 Podcast · Oct 26, 2026 · 1h 11m

Spanners, Matt Trumpets and Vincenzo Landino review the United States Grand Prix at COTA. We get into the huge contrast between the Mercedes teammates, McLaren finally using team orders and some questionable strategy messaging, Red Bull forcing rivals to react with aggressive tactics, Alonso stretching the soft tyres, and why so much of the field spent the race dropping out of the aero wash to manage tyres.

Plus late-race Safety Car frustration, an extended-laps idea, Cadillac reliability questions and listener reckons.
