Hotlaps with Seán
Formula 1 is back — and before every Grand Prix this season, our Seán will be taking a lap of each circuit on the F1 calendar.
Welcome to Hotlaps, a new Everything Trackside series where Seán drives each F1 track ahead of race weekend using F1 25 on PS5 and a Logitech racing wheel, to get a proper look at how these circuits actually flow from the cockpit. TV coverage rarely shows what drivers really see — the braking references, corner sequencing, narrow exits, and how one mistake compromises the next section of track.
This series is about experiencing the layout from a driver’s point of view and understanding what makes each circuit challenging.
