The F1 world is smack dab in the middle of car launch season! Some F1 teams impressed while others…Grid Walk is here to give you their honest thoughts!

Grid Walk extends their support for the individual for being brave and raising their voice.

Grid Walk’s social media polls return to get YOUR opinion on the Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari news! Have Grid Walk followers recovered? Who do they think will be taking the open seat at Mercedes?

2024 is a lame duck year for Mercedes and Ferrari! How will last week’s news of Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025 affect both teams this season?

Briana and Nicole share their reactions on the Haas, Williams, Stake, and (sort of) Alpine! In what ways was Stake a pleasant surprise? What did Williams do wrong?

To round out the rest of car launch season, Briana and Nicole give their final car launch wish lists! What should we expect from the Mercedes and Ferrari launches after the latest news? What does Mclaren have left to share at their car launch?
