Roundtable: Customer Teams vs Works Teams
Missed Apex is entering F1, at least in theory. Spanners, Stevens and Catman sit down for our first Big Roundtable to decide what kind of team we would build: a full works manufacturer, a factory-backed partner, an independent customer, a technical client, a junior team or a takeover-and-rebadge operation.
Using Cadillac’s sudden switch from Graeme Lowdon to Marcin Budkowski, McLaren’s 2026 customer-team problems, Haas and Dallara, Sauber’s many identities and the Red Bull/VCARB relationship, we ask what really makes a works team, how much independence matters and whether our aim should be winning championships or simply turning up and going racing.

Everyone Is Copying Ferrari: F1’s 2026 Development War
01:22:40|Trumpets is joined by the Titan of Tech, Matthew Summerfield, for a forensic review of the first half of F1’s 2026 development battle. Why has Ferrari set the technical pace, how have Racing Bulls quietly impressed, and where have Williams, Haas and Aston Martin gone wrong? They explore Macarena wings, hanger flaps, Alpine’s pod winglets, tyre-pressure politics, customer-team compromises and the FIA rule changes already coming for 2027. Who has truly understood the new regulations, and who is effectively using the rest of 2026 as an extended test session?
