Midseason Mayhem: Horners Exit, Max's Future and McLaren's Championship Battle.
This week on Two Soft Compounds, Rick and Paul unpack a jaw-dropping first half of the 2025 Formula One season. McLaren has gone from dark horses to dominant force, with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris locked in a tense title scrap that’s friendlier in the press than it is on track.
Top of the agenda the guys discuss Red Bull – a team in meltdown. Christian Horner’s high-profile exit and a rumored £60 million settlement have sparked a mass technical exodus, and Jos Verstappen’s “this team will explode” prophecy is unfolding in real-time. With Max’s future now up in the air, Paul and Rick ask the big question: could the reigning champ really walk away before 2026?
Elsewhere, Rick's favortie team, Ferrari, continue to flatter and frustrate and Paul has some choice words about Toto's handling of George Russell. Plus there's chat about Cadillac’s looming arrival for 2026 which just stirred the driver market pot even more.
As we head to Spa for the Belgian Grand Prix, the gloves are coming off. Will McLaren keep it civil? Will Red Bull survive the implosion? And is Max Verstappen about to trigger the biggest silly season shock of all time? Tap in to Two Soft Compounds for all the F1 drama and debate you crave!
