Martin Villari on Max's Weakness, Why F1 Drivers Need Coaches, and Who'll Dominate in 2026

This week Brian and Matt are joined by Martin Villari, aka Lower Lap
Time, after he left a comment on our YouTube that absolutely required
follow-up. We get into why Max Verstappen is untouchable in the wet, why
copying a teammate’s setup never works, how Lando Norris, Oscar
Piastri, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton approach
corners, driver mentality, bad radio calls, and why Formula 1 somehow
still hasn’t figured out coaching. Sit down and listen up, cause class
is in session.
