Missed Apex is entering F1, at least in theory. Spanners, Stevens and Catman sit down for our first Big Roundtable to decide what kind of team we would build: a full works manufacturer, a factory-backed partner, an independent customer, a technical client, a junior team or a takeover-and-rebadge operation.
Using Cadillac’s sudden switch from Graeme Lowdon to Marcin Budkowski, McLaren’s 2026 customer-team problems, Haas and Dallara, Sauber’s many identities and the Red Bull/VCARB relationship, we ask what really makes a works team, how much independence matters and whether our aim should be winning championships or simply turning up and going racing.
