Author: 30-40 / Acast January 16, 2026 Duration: 47:10

Betty and Christian are in Detroit at the launch of Red Bull, Racing Bulls and Ford's 2026 season - and what a lineup! Max Verstapen tells them whether he felt the love from the fans in 2025. There's a pod debut for Arvid Lindblad who tells us his hobby before quickly realising he probably shouldn't! And Isack tells us the one question he's itching to ask Max. Plus the big boss of Ford explains to us why they're coming back to F1 - and can't wait to start beef with Cadillac!


We'll be back soon with more buildup to the 2026 season. And we've still got plenty more of our best bits to keep you busy until cars are back on track, with more Fast and Curious GOLD coming soon!
