Singapore F1 GP Race Review 2026 Oct 11, 2026

Show notes

Spanners and the team pick apart a Singapore Grand Prix that promised plenty but delivered rather less. We get into the lack of overtaking, the strategic stalemate, the incidents and stewarding, Max and GP somehow communicating without really communicating, and what the weekend tells us about the competitive order heading into the next round. Plus your listener reckons and Peter Shillcock takes Comment of the Week with perhaps the most accurate race review of all: “Thanks MAP terrible race, great podcast.”

Singapore Saturday: Hamilton’s Open Goals & the Sprint That Refused to Get Interesting Oct 10, 2026

Show notes

Spanners reacts to a strange Saturday in Singapore, starting with a part-wet sprint that somehow still became processional. We get into Russell’s crash, Hamilton’s pace and aggressive restart, Norris and Piastri making contact, and a packed post-race stewards schedule. Then qualifying brings more twists: Aston Martin and Albon struggle, both Racing Bulls reach Q3, Hamilton looks rapid before wasting two big chances, Leclerc appears from nowhere, and Verstappen delivers again.

F1 PREVIEW Sepang is Back Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

F1 returns to Sepang for the unusual Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, and Jonathan Simon and Matt Trumpets break down everything that could make the weekend unpredictable. They look at the extreme heat, possible thunderstorms, abrasive and ageing track surface, tyre degradation and why Sepang could expose very different strengths across the grid.

There’s also a look at Mercedes’ major upgrade package, Ferrari’s straight-line speed concerns and the mounting speculation around Fred Vasseur and Christian Horner. The pair discuss the fallout from Lando Norris and Franco Colapinto’s latest clash before turning to the driver market, where Esteban Ocon’s Haas exit raises questions about his route back onto the F1 grid and the likely arrival of Rafael Câmara alongside Ollie Bearman.

Plus, plenty of nostalgia for one of Formula One’s best-loved circuits and some classic Malaysian Grand Prix moments.

We dig into McLaren’s lack of pace, Piastri throwing away a potential podium, Ferrari’s straight-line struggles, Lindblad and Lawson’s clash, the chaotic safety-car restart and a final-lap dash that suddenly brought the race back to life. Plus your listener reckons.
