We've spoken about Lando Norris needing that championship mettle. But, really, it's Charles Leclerc who seems to accept decisions by Ferrari that Lewis Hamilton would never, nor Fernando Alonso, nor Sebastian Vettel, certainly never Michael Schumacher. Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound for analysis of the 2025 Imola Grand Prix.

• That turn 1 overtake by Max Verstappen wasn't just brilliant. It was a statement.
• Will we ever get used to watching Lewis Hamilton not racing for Mercedes?
• What does the new Disney partnership with F1 portend for American audiences?
• All the F1 rookies have been under immense pressure, except for Kimi Antonelli. Until now.
