BBC Formula 1’s Chequered Flag Podcast is featuring a 2026 episode built around the question of whether Lewis Hamilton has changed Ferrari, with Harry Benjamin also referenced in the episode title as “The Flying Brick.”

The page lists several recent F1 audio discussions rather than a single race report. Among them are episodes on the Austrian Grand Prix with Harry Benjamin joined by Sam Bird and Andrew Benson, a Barcelona reaction episode framed around Hamilton winning for Ferrari, and a Monaco recap.

Other listed topics broaden the feed beyond grand prix reviews, including a Chequered Flag Extra with Izzy Hammond and superfan Brandon Burgess, a Canadian GP review focused on strategy errors and retirements, and a discussion covering Norris, Palmowski and Kimi Antonelli.

For editors, the main angle is how the podcast is packaging the 2026 F1 conversation: Hamilton’s Ferrari storyline appears central, but the feed also mixes race analysis, fan perspective and driver-development debates.
