- 32 minutes 25 secondsIs Lewis Hamilton OUT of world championship fight after DNF in Madrid?
For the first time ever this season Lewis Hamilton was forced to RETIRE from a race after his brakes FAILED at the Madring!
So after that DNF is he OUT of the world championship fight? Could Ferrari have avoided this if they picked a NUMBER ONE driver sooner? And is Kimi Antonelli rubbing his hands together?
And later - did the FIA President really say changes need to be made so Fernando Alonso can win before he retires?

17 September 2026, 6:00 am - 35 minutes 27 secondsWas Lando Norris ROBBED at the Madring? The WORST F1 race ever?
The Madring... where to begin! DC & Will dive into the highs and lows for Lando Norris as even Kimi Antonelli admitted he should have won! And after just 4 overtakes in the whole race they don't hold back on the new circuit.
So was Lando Norris robbed? Did Kimi Antonelli get lucky? Would Max Verstappen have won without "f***ing mickey mouse racing”? How would we change the Madring to make it more exciting? And did Mercedes screw over George Russell again?

10 September 2026, 6:00 am - 39 minutes 42 secondsFrom LAST to FIRST: how Kimi Antonelli made home HISTORY in Monza
Monza - where history is made!
Kimi Antonelli fought from 19th to become the first Italian in 60 years to win his home race! So where does Kimi's performance rank in all time best drives? And did Mercedes screw George Russell over with the strategy?
A nightmare for the sea of Ferrari fans as Charles Leclerc crashes out at 200kph and pushes Lewis Hamilton off the track. Did Charles deserve a penalty for the incident with Lewis? And how does it feel to crash that bad?
Not to mention, Alpine's Pierre Gasly on pole after 9 years of trying! How did he finally pull it off?

7 September 2026, 4:45 pm - 39 minutes 6 secondsLewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc - will Ferrari pick a number one in Monza?
It's Monza! DC, Naomi and Will answer your questions ahead of one of the most iconic races in F1, as they prepare to dive into the sea of red for Ferrari's home race.
Do Ferrari need to pick a number one driver to avoid what happened in Zaandvort? Would it be Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc? Which Italians face more pressure to win Monza - Kimi Antonelli or Ferrari? And can Fernando Alonso score points again for Aston or will he be looking at the F1 exit soon?

3 September 2026, 6:00 am - 42 minutes 46 secondsWhy are Mercedes making Kimi Antonelli start last in his home race Monza?
The upgrade race is well and truly on! A big slap in the face for Red Bull who have been told AGAIN they have the best engine so can't upgrade (despite not winning a single race yet...) and Toto Wolff is saying Mercedes have run out of money for improvements (do we believe him??). Plus, Kimi Antonelli is taking an engine penalty in his home race, which could mean he starts LAST.
So, could Mercedes upgrade strategy cost them the title? Is it unfair to say Red Bull have the best engine? Why is Kimi taking the penalty now? And are Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris rubbing their hands together at all this news?

31 August 2026, 4:00 pm - 38 minutes 42 secondsDoes Max Verstappen's new contract shut doors at Red Bull Racing?
It’s been a big couple of weeks for Red Bull Racing! Max Verstappen re-signing then crashing out in Zandvoort, and Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda stepping up for Isack Hadjar after his boxing accident.
So what’s the future at Red Bull Racing now Max Verstappen has signed? Has Max just shut all doors for Red Bull’s young drivers? And does Red Bull’s sister team, Racing Bulls, give them an unfair competitive advantage?
Plus, why did Carlos Sainz decide to stay at Williams when he’s driven for Ferrari and McLaren before? Was it the right call?

27 August 2026, 6:00 am - 33 minutes 42 secondsWere Lewis Hamilton and George Russell shafted in Zandvoort?
The whole gang are back together to react to a dramatic Dutch Grand Prix!
Was it fair of Mercedes to ask George Russell to move over for his championship rival Kimi Antonelli? Did Ferrari cost Lewis Hamilton a podium by not letting him past Charles Leclerc? Can Lando Norris still defend his world title after back-to-back wins? And how is Max Verstappen feeling after crashing out of his last ever home race?

Max Verstappen is staying in F1... for now! DC & Will bring you an emergency show reacting to the big news that Max has extended his contract with Red Bull until the end of 2030.
So, why Red Bull given their recent form? What does this new contract actually mean? How will George Russell and the other drivers be feeling? And is that the end of silly season?

21 August 2026, 11:00 am - 33 minutes 46 secondsBigger shock if Kimi Antonelli keeps winning or George Russell keeps losing after summer break?
We're answering your questions ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix! From race predictions to our favourite Zandvoort memories (expect fire and the police!)
So, how surprised would we be if Kimi Antonelli kept this amazing form up till the end of the season? Who can take him on in the World Championship fight? And what can we expect from Aston's engine upgrades?
We recorded before the news about Isack Hadjar missing the race but don't worry we will get into that in detail next week!

20 August 2026, 6:00 am - 38 minutes 33 secondsHave Cadillac been too cut-throat firing their boss?
It's time for the second half of the season! DC, Naomi & Will are back together to discuss the big news of the summer break... and no we don't mean Max going on holiday with Toto! New team Cadillac suddenly sacked their Team Principal Graeme Lowdon after just 11 races, replaced immediately by Marcin Budkowski.
So, was it too harsh? As a new team what were they expecting? Is Budkowski the right man for the job?
And later, as we gear up for the last ever Dutch Grand Prix, will Max Verstappen be pissed off he won't have a home race any more?
