Would Max Verstappen leave Formula 1? | Is Kimi a title threat? | All the latest F1 chat

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:15:00 GMT

Betty and Christian unpack another weekend of Formula 1 action at Suzuka. For the second race in a row, Kimi Antonelli took the win and is now the youngest ever World Championship leader. But could he win the whole thing? Oscar Piastri took second place and finished his first Grand Prix of the year, are McLaren bouncing back? And could Max REALLY be on his way out?

Plenty of discussion to be had as the sport heads into the break, including how potential rule changes could alter the pecking order, and who went under the radar in Japan…

We will be back next week with our Spring break report cards for all 11 teams.

Kimi’s first win & Lewis is back! | Chinese GP reaction

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:15:00 GMT

Betty and Christian break down a busy sprint weekend in China. Kimi Antonelli took to the top step of the podium for the first time in his F1 career, and broke the record for the youngest pole-sitter for good measure. Team mate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton rounded off the podium, the first for the Scuderia for Hamilton, who has a spring in his step this year.

Plenty of things happened elsewhere on the grid, which means it’s time to bring back the George Russell Community Noticeboard

Champion Of The World! | Abu Dhabi GP 2025 Debrief

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 17:52:59 GMT

Well, there you have it, the 2025 Formula 1 World Champion has been crowned. Greg and Christian are here to debrief an emotional evening under the lights in Abu Dhabi.

Lando Norris, Formula 1 World Champion. Sounds quite nice, doesn't it? The Brit held on to the podium finish he needed to take glory in 2025.

Italian GP Debrief 2025 | Fastest race in F1 history

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 18:30:00 GMT

Christian is joined by Nicola Hume from Midweek F1 & Talking Bulls to debrief the Italian Grand Prix.

**SPOILERS FOLLOW**

Max Verstappen put on a masterclass to take victory in F1's fastest ever Grand Prix. The Temple of Speed lived up to its name as the Dutchman retook first place from Lando Norris in the early stages of the race and slowly disappeared down the road.

McLaren couldn't keep up with the Red Bull, and gave us one of the big race talking points: were they right to swap Oscar and Lando's positions after Lando was undercut with a slow pit stop?

Check out Nicola's podcast Midweek F1:

Brazilian Grand Prix debrief: 'More red flags than my ex'

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 13:16:00 GMT

Welcome to a special episode of The Fast and The Curious.

This week we've teamed up with the brilliant charity Race Against Dementia to explore how the world of Formula One is helping find a cure for dementia, something very close to Christian's heart following his mum's diagnoses in 2023.
