Summary
If you’ve been on YouTube in the last few weeks, you might have seen our video from 2023 where we predicted all the 2026 driver line-ups. Well, we’ve had so many requests to look back on those *crazy* predictions - so let's do it!
It can’t be understated how much F1 has changed in the last three seasons - which is probably why some of these picks need thorough re-examining…

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. |
| 0:12.3 | We weren't we weren't planning on doing this one until next year. |
| 0:17.0 | And then apparently the YouTube algorithm went, |
| 0:19.5 | Hey everybody, |
| 0:20.6 | do you want to watch this? |
| 0:21.8 | And the amount of comments we got requesting for us to react to this |
| 0:26.8 | were a hell of a lot. |
| 0:29.3 | So Tommy, |
| 0:30.5 | as much as I can kind of feel what's coming, |
| 0:34.0 | I'm still looking forward to this. |
| 0:36.2 | I am as well. |
| 0:36.9 | I know, you know, some people |
| 0:39.1 | will laugh at us and fair enough. And yes, we will joke about how much a lot of this is wrong, |
| 0:46.1 | but I'm actually really excited to look back at this and kind of give reasons to the logic, |

| 1:18.3 | 2023. I think that's the key thing here. Right. So the way we're going to do this is we are, of course, |
| 1:25.4 | going to reflect on these predictions that we made. Was it the |
| 1:28.0 | start of 2023 or the end of 2023? So we'd had two races basically. Okay. So we knew a little bit about what was going to happen in 2023, but there was a break wasn't there? And then we were like, let's make this video. So what we're going to do, we're going to have a points system. Of course we are, we're going to gamify this. So, essentially, how it's going to work is we will get one point if the driver that we predicted |
