School's Out! Our F1 2026 End of Spring Report Cards

“Send us a Hey Now!” School's out for summer, which means it's time for the Dirty Side Podcast End of Spring Report Card! With the Formula 1 season approaching the halfway point, we hand out grades across the paddock and take a look at who has exceeded expectations, who needs summer school, and which teams might be heading for detention before the championship battle reaches its conclusion. We break down the biggest winners and losers from the season so far, discuss surprise performances, championship contenders, underachievers, rookie impressions, team progress, and the storylines that have defined the first part of the 2026 Formula 1 season. Who earns an A+? Who barely scrapes a pass? And which teams are staring at a report card they'd rather keep hidden from their parents? As always, we share our honest fan perspective on everything happening across Formula 1. 📼 Brian's Video Vault 13 F1 Drivers Who Changed Teams And Won AGAIN! – Formula 1 Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2EA-tHfXP0 Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar PRANK Hotel Guests! – Oracle Red Bull Racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv9JQZYGQVM Lewis Hamilton in Monaco 🇲🇨 | 8 Hours of Relaxing 4K Ambience – Ferrari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1PNDN24cE Your Fan Questions Caught Carlos & Alex Off Guard! – Atlassian Williams Racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5B16uBPS24 🏁 Dirty Side Podcast – Formula 1 from the fan perspective.
