Formula 1 has dropped Episode 2 of its popular Grill The Grid series for the 2026 season, and the latest instalment is already delivering pure comedy gold.
In “The 0-99 Challenge,” the entire grid is put on the spot to match racing numbers to the drivers who use them — starting from zero and working all the way up to 99. The results? Plenty of blank stares, confused faces, and classic driver banter.
The official F1 account shared a selection of the best reactions on X earlier today, captioning the post: “Just some of the reactions to when we asked them about car numbers! 🥲”
Among the standout moments captured:
- Max Verstappen looking thoroughly puzzled with wide eyes and a hand to his chin.
- Lando Norris pulling one of his signature scrunched-up funny faces.
- Charles Leclerc caught mid-gasp with pure shock.
- Cadillac’s Valtteri Bottas sporting a deadpan, slightly unimpressed expression.
The full episode is now live on the Formula 1 YouTube channel and is already racking up views as fans enjoy watching the drivers struggle to remember even their own teammates’ numbers in some cases.
Grill The Grid remains one of F1’s most entertaining off-track series, and Episode 2 of the 2026 season continues the tradition of revealing just how little (or how much) the drivers actually know about each other beyond the cockpit.
