Did George Russell slam Verstappen exit route shut in Austria? Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

Will & DC reflect on George Russell's statement win in Austria and what it means as attention turns to Silverstone & the British GP!

Did George get lucky - should he have been on pole after a controversial qualifying lap - and how he navigated his lights-out-to-flag win.

After their masterclass in Barcelona, did Ferrari get it wrong or did Lewis Hamilton's "bogey track" strike again and does Max Verstappen still hold the masterkey to this summer's driver shake-up?

Will Kimi Antonelli's winning-streak end in Barcelona & DC's plane crash to podium nightmare Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

We head straight from Monaco to the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix!

Ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix in 2000 DC survived a plane crash where the pilot and co-pilot tragically lost their lives. Just days later he got back in the race car and came second. He tells us that story.

And as we look ahead to this year's race - will the Barcelona circuit help George Russell end Kimi Antonelli's five-race winning streak? How will Max Verstappen and Lando Norris bounce back from last week's heartbreak? And after Monaco, does Kim Kardashian deserve all the heat she's getting for stealing Kimi's towel and ignoring Martin Brundle on the grid walk?
