  • Will Lando Norris be a one-time world champion?
    Apr 9 2026

    With all the excitement around Max Verstappen threatening to quit and Kimi Antonelli's success, we've barely mentioned the reigning world champions this season - McLaren and Lando Norris.

    How will Lando and Oscar Piastri be feeling back in 5th and 6th place after not starting so many races? Is it normal for world champions to drop off after big regulation changes? Does Piastri's second-place finish in Japan change things? And what's the real reason behind Piastri's manager Mark Webber taking a step back?

    And later - do F1 drivers ever think about anything other than racing when they're on track? We answer your question!

  • Why would anyone want to be Aston Martin's new boss right now?
    Mar 26 2026

    We're only a few races into the season and the F1 team bosses are already playing musical chairs! Our WhatsApp chat was popping off when F1's best ever car designer, Adrian Newey, stepped down as Aston Martin team principle, then Audi team principle Jonathan Wheatley suddenly left the team.

    Would a man like Wheatley fit in at Aston Martin under Laurence Stroll? Why would anyone want to take that job with drivers complaining of nerve damage? And was Christian Horner ever an option or should we stop talking about him?

    Plus we react to viral videos of Max Verstappen racing in GT3 at the Nordschleife, and we share our best F1 memory thanks to a question from actor Danny Dyer.
