Espresso News – Audi Run the First 2026 F1 Car, Launch Dates Lock In, Horner, Cadillac sign Zhou
Saison 4 · Épisode 1
samedi 10 janvier 2026 • Durée 26:31
Espresso News – Audi Run the First 2026 F1 Car, Launch Dates Lock In, Horner and Alpine, Cadillac Build Properly
The shape of the 2026 Formula One season is already starting to form, and this episode of Espresso News focuses on who is quietly getting the groundwork right.
The discussion begins with Audi becoming the first team to run a 2026 car, explaining why the Barcelona filming day mattered, what it was actually used for, and why it should not be confused with performance running. From there, the episode breaks down the confirmed 2026 launch calendar and pre-season testing plan, and what those dates reveal about confidence, caution, and preparation across the grid.
There is also a closer look at the Christian Horner and Alpine conversation, reframing it as an ownership and timing issue rather than a simple leadership vacancy, before closing with Cadillac’s decision to appoint Zhou Guanyu as reserve driver and what that says about how the new team is approaching its debut season.
This episode is about preparation, structure, and systems. Not headlines.
