## Resource

We are SO back. 🏎️💨 It’s officially 2026, and the off-season depression is finally over. Mark & Mark are back on the mic to shake off the holiday brain rot and dive straight into the new era. Lando Norris is officially the main character (World Champ status 🏆), Audi is entering the chat, and launch season is about to go crazy. New Year, Same Us: The Marks are fighting for their lives trying to remember how to work after the break. Holiday Dump: Mark H. was front row at a Persian rap concert while Mark D. was in a food coma. 🌯 ✨ Mark Your Cals: We’re days away from the first fit checks of 2026. Red Bull: Jan 15 🐂 Audi: Jan 20 ⭕ Lando’s Era: Max Verstappen has to hand over the #1 plate. We discuss the glow-up and what it means for the grid now that Lando is the one with the target on his back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
