🇺🇸 Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear! Max Verstappen's blazing form continues in the United States as he hunts down the McLarens for the Driver's Championship.

The sprint weekend began in Austin, Texas, with all talk about McLaren's repercussions for Lando Norris' Singapore shunt. McLaren has been so focused on managing papaya rules that they've accidentally let Verstappen back into the fight for the title. Verstappen eats up all the points as he qualifies on pole and finishes in 1st in the sprint, then repeats the same feat for the Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri's run of poor form continues as his Championship lead is whittled down to 14 points over his teammate Lando Norris and 40 points to Verstappen. The Australian was caught up in an ambitious Turn 1 maneuver in the sprint race that put him further on the back foot for the rest of the weekend.

The fellas also cover Ferrari's strong performance, Alpine's lack thereof, Williams' woes despite strong pace and Red Bull's gamesmanship that sees them with a $50,000 fine.

🇺🇸 In this retro round, the fellas cover the 2018 United States Grand Prix, which saw Kimi Raikkonen fight the dominant Mercedes for a rare Ferrari victory and his final career win.

Part 1: We recap the events of the Grand Prix held in Austin, Texas, and why this win was so important for both Ferrari and Raikkonen.

Part 2: The fellas discuss the GP and ask if Ferrari can return to its former glory sooner or later, what needs to happen at Maranello for their winning culture to return, how drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel failed to find success, and if people like Christian Horner or Oscar Piastri would be a good fit for the team. They also cover the legacy that Kimi Raikkonen left on the sport.

Ferrari has become iconic in modern-day F1 for its embarrassing blunders and viral memes, but can it reclaim its former image of motorsport dominance?

🇸🇬 The 2025 Singapore GP provided another controversial chapter in the F1 Driver's Championship between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Norris made an aggressive move on Piastri and almost shunted him into the wall, the incident deemed fair by McLaren and their 'Papaya Rules.' Piastri was clearly upset by the team's ruling and made his frustration known over the radio. It appears the gloves are off now that McLaren has wrapped up the Constructors' Championship!

The fellas break down all the events that unfolded over the weekend, including George Russell's flawless weekend from pole to victory, Max Verstappen chipping further away at the Driver's Championship, Liam Lawson's struggles and Ferrari's woes.

After all the drama and controversy around Papaya Rules, are team orders ruining the championship? The fellas ask whether F1 should consider banning team orders over the radio again. Have your say in the comments below!

After a disastrous Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri is fortunate to escape Azerbaijan, losing only six points to his teammate and championship rival, Lando Norris. Norris failed to take advantage of Piastri’s errors, finishing a disappointing 7th. 

Max Verstappen went back-to-back in Baku with another win, now equalling 2025 victories with Lando and leading the season in Pole Positions. Verstappen earned his 6th career Grand Slam as he showed the grid why he’s on another level. 

Carlos Sainz snatched a podium finish, beating out teammate Alex Albon to the honours and Lewis Hamilton in his old Ferrari seat! The smooth operator looked right at home, showing his class and experience in taking 3rd place and bringing Williams some much deserved glory.

🚨 Oscar Piastri gets burned by Papaya rules, while Lando Norris gets protected! The 2025 Italian Grand Prix provided some late race controversy between the two McLaren drivers while Max Verstappen completed a dominant victory at Monza.

The fellas break down all the bulls**t McLaren put their two championship-contending drivers through to manufacture a 'fair' result and discuss whether it was justified. You can probably guess our take on it all. As usual, they review all the achievements from the weekend, including Verstappen trolling McLaren in victory, Ferrari's missed home podium, and Gabriel Bortoleto's strong form as he continues his bid for rookie of the season.

Episode 26 of the Box Box Banter Podcast: The fellas award 10 Formula 1 inductees into the first official Box Box Banter Hall of Fame (BBBHOF). The best of the best are entered into F1 history with this great honour.

Timmy also serves up some revenge with some Oscar Piastri Trivia that gets Slaymond heated. Spicy!

Welcome to episode 25 of the Box Box Banter Podcast. Still in the depths of the 2025 mid-season break, the fellas are thirsting for Formula 1 content, and the only thing that will quench that thirst is the sweet taste of Daniel Ricciardo glory. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Ki, Ki, Ki!

After suffering a heartbreaking loss at Monaco in 2016, the honey badger got the last laugh in 2018 by earning his redemption in the streets of Monte Carlo. The victory did not come easily, though. With the silver arrows (Mercedes) continued dominance, Daniel was able to snag a cheeky pole position on Saturday to line up a win on Sunday. However, midway through the Grand Prix, Ricciardo radioed in that he was losing power. His Red Bull was again letting him down, as his car lost 25% of its power, making him much slower than the man chasing him in second place, ex-teammate Sebastien Vettel in the Ferrari.

Daniel, determined as ever, nutted up big time and kept the German behind him as he masterfully navigated the tight streets to take his 2nd and final victory in his Red Bull machine.

The fellas had a lot of fun reliving this one and even splashed out some hard-earned cash for the DR3 x St Hugo wine to celebrate the smiling assassin. We taste test the secret sauce and test each other's Danny Ric knowledge while getting Loosey Goosey. Join us as we go back in time with this retro round and raise a shoey to an Aussie motorsports legend. Cheers Danny!
