The Red Flags Podcast

Ollie Bearman’s crash, Kimi Antonelli’s back-to-back wins, George Russell getting absolutely screwed, and the 2026 regs causing total chaos -- the Japanese GP gave us a LOT to talk about.

This week on The Red Flags Podcast, we break down: Kimi Antonelli beating George again and throwing the title fight wide open, Oscar Piastri’s huge start and what could’ve happened without the Safety Car, Max Verstappen’s frustration on and off track, and the latest thoughts on the new regulations after Ollie Bearman’s scary crash. We also get into Ferrari and McLaren bringing it to Mercedes, why Max is like Chappell Roan, Charles Leclerc’s cooldown room aura, and which drivers are mogging.
