Chapter 1: What are the highlights of the Red Bull car launch?
If you're into Thierry Henry, emotional roller coasters and beautiful kits, then you're probably a fan of Arsenal Football Club. I am so excited for this. Welcome to The Thing About Arsenal, the brand new Arsenal fan podcast from Stack that does things differently. When are we not scared as Arsenal fans, let's be honest? That's true. We're slightly less scared, and yet it doesn't at all.
We're here to remind you why it's fun to support the greatest football club in the world, even when you're having a moan about it.
I thought, oh no, he's on one and he's trying to fight fire with fire here, and I don't think we're good enough to do that.
Join us for insight, healthy disagreement, unhealthy nostalgia and plenty of laughs from a group of Arsenal obsessives. Pep is the most creamed man on the planet.
Chapter 2: Why did Red Bull choose a pre-recorded launch format?
If you took away Pep's trophy, you'd get sectioned. Can you imagine him in a mental asylum? It would be making the other inmates worse. Yes, exactly. No, you can't. I can't be in with a bald man. We'll be here every Monday and Friday to discuss the latest from the men's team and every Tuesday for Arsenal women. How would you react? I'll probably cry like the players.
That is probably the fair response.
Chapter 3: How did the VCARB car launch compare to Red Bull's?
We'll also be on the mics after the final whistle of every single Arsenal men's game. It's literally non-stop entertainment. This is your new Arsenal community where we can celebrate and commiserate together because the thing about Arsenal is that anything can happen and probably will.

Hello everybody and welcome back. to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. 2026 feels weird to say that we're now in the swing of things when it's like just under two months until lights out in Australia. But this is the beauty of a new regulation set. The car launches, delivery launches, whatever you want to call them, have been pushed forward. We've got testing at the end of January.
Chapter 4: What are the key changes in the Red Bull Racing livery for 2026?
And Red Bull, they decided to kick things off first, didn't they, Tommy? How are we feeling about A very unsociable hour to kick 2026 off.
I'm feeling tired, but I'm feeling like F1 is well and truly back. They did a proper car launch, which is always a risk, isn't it? And I'm sure we'll dive into this of the balance of show the car or just doing a picture online and F1 fans are never happy either way. But yeah, they did a long pre-recorded car launch.
Oh, well, let's get straight into it, shall we? That is the topic of the first question. Elephant in the room.
Chapter 5: How does the new Red Bull livery reflect team identity?
Let's talk about it. P1 Patreon member Steelhead. Why on earth would they pre-record it and then behave as if it was live? That one is a little bit strange. The title of the YouTube video says at the end, live. The whole, I guess, marketing of it was that it was going to be a live car launch. And yet there were pictures of the car circulating social media before the launch had even begun.
Now, I reckon from a Red Bull standpoint, they did not want leaks to happen. Why would they put so much effort into a launch? Do it in Detroit.
Chapter 6: What are the predictions for Red Bull Racing in the 2026 season?
Not sure why they did it at 10 p.m. local time in Detroit, which is like 3 a.m. where we were for the actual car launch. But, you know, whatever. Right. But the fact that they then basically the car, I don't know if the V-car was leaked before the launch started.
From the sound of our chat, the team posted it before we saw it. We saw it in the pre-record. I am going to bed. Post.
Chapter 7: How does the new partnership with Ford impact VCARB's performance?
I am done. Someone in Faenza in V-car base just was like, no, I'm done with this.
But it was slightly frustrating. I avoided it massively. I did not want to even go on social media. As soon as I saw people in chat going, oh, it's on, I'm like, no. The live streams or pre-recorded streams, whatever they are, car launches, I want to experience them. I want to see the effort that the teams have put into their little production.
But it is annoying that, of course, it was pre-recorded and everybody had kind of seen it, or at least the people that searched for it had seen it. because it takes away the whole point of an event and then you're questioning why have they not... Because I've been to, say, for example, an F1 team before and they make you put a little sticker on the back of your phone to stop you from recording.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of the new livery regulations for F1 teams?
Or lock them away or anything. Yeah, there was none of that. They were like, yeah! Just, guys, don't post it. Can we trust you all in the room to not post it?
Yeah, how bad can we make the Wi-Fi or signal in this room to make sure people don't do it? But then it seems like it was quite a long pre-record, so...
yeah i i assume that red bull weren't that naive in thinking that everyone would obey these rules and no one would want to be that person to post the especially this day and age as well this day and age yeah exactly it's just impossible like you see you know as soon as uh max and and isaac came out on stage you know the
all the phones came up you know everyone's gonna have their phone out filming this and and them taking the covers off so yeah very weird that it was uh having that kind of pre-record so then everyone's already kind of people have posted it on social media already and and as you say like you don't want to see it because it can change your perception of like the car launch or also like the liver itself like
I don't want to see a low quality picture of something. You want to see how it's intended to be. So appreciate all the people that joined us on the live stream and got to see it as it was launched.
Yeah, and with the whole production as well, they would have filmed it as live. Of course, it didn't go out live. The one rule in filming as live is to not say what the time is during the college. Oh, yeah, they kept mentioning it. They basically were like, oh, it's 1am in the UK or whatever.
No, it's not, it's 3. They even said or something, they were like, oh, I'm not sure when this is going out or something. I'm sure they said something along those lines. And then a really hard cut as well at one point where you're just like...
where there was a couple of hard cuts one where the initial host got yeeted and there was a new one like just immediately like we've got a new host now for vcarb like it was the hardest cut ever but look these are small things that you notice and even at the the horrible time in the morning that we were watching
Um, but apart from that, of course the, the, the launch itself, I will say right now, of course, you know, we're going to be slightly grumpy at the fact we're, we're up early watching a car launch.
