Band-Aid or Fix? — Miami's Return & The 2026 Regulation Shake-Up | S3E6

<p>We&#39;re back. After four race-less weeks, the 2026 F1 season is finally returning and Miami cannot come soon enough.</p><p>But let&#39;s be honest, it never really went quiet.</p><p>In this episode I&#39;m unpacking everything from the break. Red Bull&#39;s struggles, Verstappen&#39;s frustrating start, the Lambiase move to McLaren, Ferrari&#39;s busy April, and some interesting calendar speculation around a potential Saudi GP return.</p><p>But the two biggest topics for me heading into Miami are:</p><p><strong>The ADUO System</strong> — what it is, why it matters, and why Ferrari potentially qualifying for it could be one of the biggest storylines of the season.</p><p><strong>The new Miami regulation changes</strong> — what the FIA has changed, what it means for racing, and why a lot of it for me feels more like a band-aid than a real fix.</p><p>This one&#39;s a mix with confirmed facts, rumours worth discussing, and my honest take on all of it.</p><p><em>F1rst: An F1 Podcast is an independent fan podcast.
