Summary

The 2025 F1 season is officially in the books, and Brian and Matt end the year with our traditional arguing and over-analyzing. We break down Lando Norris’s polarizing World Championship, why the internet suddenly thinks WDCs don’t matter, and how Max Verstappen still managed to feel inevitable. From preseason prediction receipts to rookie rankings, midfield chaos, and why Alpine managed to torch an entire year, we run through every major storyline that defined the season. We debate McLaren’s papaya politics, Ferrari’s operational dysfunction, Aston Martin’s existential crisis, Red Bull’s sliding-door moments, and whether Williams quietly nailed their rebuild. Plus: our official Red Flags end-of-year awards: Red Flag, Karen, Hottest Moment, Daddy and Radio of the Year, and the most unhinged moments that made the 2025 F1 season unforgettable.
