Papaya Rules

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.

Max Verstappen might not get it all his own way after coming to blows with Lando Norris in Austria. Ben and Bec dissect the relationship between the two and ask whether this proves Norris is now ready to mix it with the reigning world champion. It was the middle race in the triple header and Mercedes look like they’ve finally cured their problems after George Russell capitalised to win his second race. And the guys look ahead to this weekend’s British Grand Prix, which is certain to be another thriller!

Max Verstappen won again but the Spanish GP threw up plenty of talking points. Ben and Bec discuss why Lando Norris is so hard on himself, the controversial return to Flavio Briatore and how Mercedes are finally making progress. They also look ahead to this week’s Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring.

Bec and Ben preview this weekend’s Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix - the first of this F1 season’s triple header. The tightly packed schedule means that the races are coming thick and fast in what will prove the perfect time to see if anyone can challenge Max Verstappen’s Red Bull. F1 Teams will be brining lots of new parts at a track they know like the back of their hand and the race will offer us the best opportunity yet to see if Mercedes are over their problems. Plus we discuss the mess at Alpine, Ferrari bouncing back while Sergio Perez gets mentioned three times.
