Papaya Problem

Did Lando Norris, second place in the Italian GP feel hollow? The fans in Monza made their feelings known. Bec & Ben discuss the fallout and whether Oscar Piastri will take matters into his own hands while Max Verstappen dominated and rewrote the record books in the process. It’s the Italian GP debrief.

An eclectic episode that goes off piste rapidly. Thankfully, after some talk about the paddock facilities, Ben and Bec get down to discussing the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. Is the title race over? Has Oscar Piastri got it sewn up? What about Lewis Hamilton, what’s going on there? Williams put the heat on the stewards and are F1 races too long?

Bec & Ben return from a spell in the pits and heading for new horizons. As F1 returns from the summer break, they discuss the season so far, who will win the title and can Williams keep on impressing? They also get stuck into ‘silly season’ and have their say on Cadillac’s driver choice for 2026. Plus, where is Christian Horner going?

Bec and Ben are back after a few weeks away - and what a race to feature. The São Paulo GP had the lot - and virtually killed off Lando Norris’ title hopes. There is plenty to discuss from Verstappen’s brilliance, what happens to McLaren now? And does Sergio Perez have a place on the grid for 2025 - or not. There’s loads more, including the odd swear word, so some community service/fine (delete as applicable) will be on the way!

After a fantastic week at the Singapore Grand Prix, Bec and Ben reflect Max Verstappen’s swearing, his punishment from the FIA and his protest against the governing body. Plus they discuss Daniel Ricciardo’s departure and assess his replacement, Liam Lawson.

Not one for the purists, but the Azerbaijan Grand Prix served up another cracking race and raised a number of talking points. Has Oscar Piastri’s win given McLaren a happy problem to manage. All the talk going into the race was about the Aussie supporting Lando Norris but it was Piastri who came out on top. Ben and Bec discuss the smash between Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez and asses just how good Olie Bearman and Franco Colapinto actually are

Aston Martin have got their man. Adrian Newey, F1’s most-successful car designer, will join the Silverstone team next year with the goal of delivering them the title. Ben and Bec discuss his move from Red Bull and what it all means for both teams. Plus they preview this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Ben and Bec get stuck into the McLaren team orders saga. Have they left it too long to prioritise Lando Norris to help him win the drivers’ championship? Or should they keep on sticking with keeping things even with his team-mate Oscar Piastri? Also, what is going on at Red Bull? Has Adrian Newey’s departure already had an impact? Antonelli’s debut, Williams picking Colapinto over Schumacher… there is a lot to take in post Monza.

Has Max Verstappen’s out-burst during the Hungarian Grand Prix reopened a move to Mercedes? Silver Arrows boss Toto Wolff is hoping so….And what is going on at McLaren after those team orders denied Lando Norris a win? Plus Ben and Bec discuss Esteban Ocon’s move to Haas and ask if he is a trouble-maker?

Lewis Hamilton’s victory in the British Grand Prix was emotional. Coming 945 days after his last win, Ben and Bec discuss what it’s been like watching the Mercedes man going through the turmoil. They also discuss Lando Norris’ most-recent near miss and just what is going wrong with Ferrari.
