Russell is BACK... maybe. Is the title fight alive again after Azerbaijan? Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Baku took a while to ignite, but after Albon's error and the subsequent Safety Car, the fight between Max and George sparked into something really special. Meanwhile, super-talented Alpine driver Colapinto (who's also extremely handsome) made a tiny, uncharacteristic mistake. Barely worth a mention. Plus, why have Ferrari gone missing?

McLaren mugged in Madrid. Crowd, sleeping, don't notice Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Well, that sucked, didn't it? Madring was a cool event but a horrendous race. Kimi is basically the uncrowned King, Lando was mugged by a VSC and, erm, that was about it. Still... things can only get better, right?

WHAT.A.RACE! Kimi wins from P19. Ferrari implode... AGAIN. We almost shed a tear for George (seriously). But is the championship fight just a formality now? Matt and Jethro discuss all things Monza and look ahead to what could be a chaotic race at the brand new Madring circuit.

Magnificent Monza, unwanted floaters and F1's 'sensible season' Sep 01, 2026

Another week of driver's signing big money contracts and all the fun of 'silly season' being ruined. But... at least we have Monza to look forward to. Plus, Matt has a poop udpate for us all to enjoy.

Team orders shocker for George and Lewis rages Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

Zandvoort's final GP for the forseeable future delivers the best race of the season, but is littered with crashes, intra-team friction and some very meek compliance by George to let his main title rival past with the chequered flag in sight. The title picture didn't change much on paper... but is the balance of power swinging towards McLaren and Lando as Merc fail to match their pace of development?

Zandvoort preview, F1 engineers to Indiana (?) plus Monterey Car Week Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

F1 is back... and if Zandvoort is anything like last year it'll be an explosive return. McLaren get part 2 of their upgrade, Honda should give Aston Martin a boost, whilst Ferrari and Mercedes try to stay ahead of the pack. Matt and Jethro delve into this, plus Monterey Car Week and Netflix's amazing facility in LA.

Plus, Pulp for the Paddock in partnership with https://ascolour.com/ is full of Caddy news... including why they might ask F1 personnel to relocate to Indiana. And why they probably shouldn't.

Show notes

George is engaged... can it revive his form? Lando is visiting every DJ booth in Europe. Good for him. Plus a recap of qualifying head-to-heads from the season so far, a delve into Red Bull's origin story, Matt's own engagement history and MERCH. Soon. Maybe.

Max and Toto's summer love-in Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

Prince George is having a nightmare season and feels deeply unloved by Mercedes. So, naturally, to make things better Toto goes on holiday with Max Verstappen. What could they be discussing? Who knows, especially with Max's, um, wide-ranging interests... This and much more discussed by Matt and Jethro, including a genius silent bulls**t klaxon.
