DRS Gets Neutered: Smaller slot gaps mean less top-speed advantage – are overtakes doomed on iconic tracks like Monza and Spa? McLaren’s DRS Controversy: Their 2024 straight-line speed advantage is history. Can they adapt, or will 2025 be a step back for the champs? Ferrari’s GM Partnership: Suppling power units and gearboxes for 2026 – is this the start of something big? Aston Martin Comeback?: Can they turn around their season and challenge the top teams in 2025?

It’s the season finale, and we’re unpacking all the drama from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix! McLaren finally ended their 15-year drought and clinched the Constructors’ Championship – proving you don’t need to be a works team to win.

With some mid-season upgrades, a little Mercedes magic, and Andreas Stella leading the charge, they left Ferrari and Red Bull in their dust. Ferrari made a late push, but let’s be real – those Spain upgrades did them no favors, and their WCC hopes fizzled.

We’re also saying goodbye to a few drivers and diving into the grid’s post-season shakeups. Plus, the Hamilton-to-Ferrari testing saga continues – is it happening or just hype? And of course, we’re dishing out our Driver of the Year, Team of the Year, and favourite moments from the season.

This one’s packed with laughs, hot takes, and maybe a rant or two – don’t miss it!
