George Russell is starting LAST in Singapore with an engine penalty! The man can't catch a BREAK! Join Will & Naomi as they build up to the last sprint weekend of the season at the Marina Bay circuit.

Is there any hope for George now? With all these reliability issues, can Max Verstapen and Lewis Hamilton knock Mercedes off their perch? Should the FIA be helping more with cooling vests in sweaty Singapore? And what do Stefano Domenicali's comments about the last races of the season ACTUALLY mean?

Chaos, pure chaos at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia! DC & Will react to all the madness from Max Verstappen's first win of 2026, to "LEGO racing" on the maddest formation lap we've ever seen, almost 2 hour delays, an insane recovery from Lewis Hamilton and a heartbreaking DNF spoiling George Russell's title hopes!

Is Max entering Michael Schumacher territory? Why don't 2026 F1 cars work in the rain?! Could Lewis have won the race if he was on different tyres? And is Russell out of the title fight now?

An explosive weekend at Ferrari as Christian Horner rumours run wild, Esteban Ocon leaves Haas and Aston Martin stick with Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll... it's all kicking off ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.

Do DC and Will think Christian Horner could be Lewis Hamilton's new boss at Ferrari? Who will replace Ocon at Haas? Why is Lance Stroll still in F1? And who's got the edge heading into the exciting Sepang circuit?

Will & Naomi are back following the dramatic finish in Baku to reflect on George Russell's near-perfect weekend! Has 'Mr Saturday' just made things really interesting at the top of the Driver's Championship?

Is Isack Hadjar actually lifting the curse of Red Bull's second-seat after another podium finish?

Plus, after Lando Norris called for a race ban for Alpine's Franco Colapinto, is de facto Team Principal Flavio Briatore now weighing up if the Argentine driver is more trouble than he's worth?

The whole gang reunite ahead of the Azerbaijan GP to pick over McLaren team boss Andrea Stella's comments about Oscar Piastri and the decision to allocate 'more resources' to Oscar following the last race...

Will Williams' upgrade package in Baku be enough, more reaction to the 2027 race calendar - which includes a sprint race in Monaco - and if Max vs 100 lived up to the hype?

Up to Speed heads to Manchester to see DC & Mika Hakkinen on their UK tour, ‘Racing Icons’, as they bring us stories of getting stopped by the Finnish police, naked saunas and bust ups with their McLaren boss, Ron Dennis.

Mika, two-time world champion and the only driver Michael Schumacher ever feared, was DC’s teammate for a record 7 seasons. And as we’ve all seen this season, teammate dynamics are never easy in F1… From Mercedes balancing Kimi Antonelli’s joy and George Russell’s disappointment, to Ferrari refusing to favour Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc.

So, is history repeating itself? What advice would they give the current drivers? Did McLaren have a secret favourite between DC and Mika? And what do they make of the new 2027 F1 calendar, with over double the amount of races they had?

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?

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?

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?

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?
