F1 Drive To Describe

The team are back during the F1 off week with Jacqui taking the wheel for her first-ever concept episode! Buckle up, nerd burgers — it’s calculator time as we meticulously crunch the numbers for the final four races to predict who will win the 2025 F1 Drivers’ Championship. Lando? Max? Oscar? …George?! Find out who rocked up with three minutes of prep, who struggles with basic maths, and who ends up clinching the title on countback!

Once the spreadsheet chaos settles, we look ahead to 2026 and debate who’s best positioned for the new regulations, whether Max might take a sabbatical in 2027, and why Nathan just can’t get behind IndyCar. We also revisit the eternal debate of Max vs. Teammates — this time with Nathan armed with cold, hard stats — and discuss what role the stewards might play in shaping this nail-biting championship finish.

Stick around for an Easter egg at the end, where we 'abuse' a confused listener and share our unfiltered thoughts on how this episode really went!

The team are back to break down the Mexican Grand Prix, where Lando Norris has stormed into the championship lead — by just one point over Oscar Piastri with four races to go! But was the championship shaped by yet another farcical blunder from the stewards? We dive deep into the controversial last-lap Virtual Safety Car that may have sabotaged both Oscar and Max Verstappen’s title chances, and question how the FIA keep getting it so wrong.

From the baffling VSC call to marshals narrowly avoiding disaster with Liam Lawson’s recovering Racing Bull, it was a weekend to forget for race control. We spotlight the standout drives from all three title contenders, debate George Russell’s fiery radio message to his team, and enjoy Nathan’s latest rant — this time aimed squarely at David Bearman (despite his son Ollie’s incredible P4 finish).

Plus, we take stock of a confusing Williams weekend, debate risky turn one racing going unpunished,  hear James get his weekly dig in at Lance Stroll, and look ahead to what could be a wet and wild Brazilian Grand Prix as the championship battle hits fever pitch!

The whole crew are back to break down Max Verstappen’s dominant US Grand Prix Sprint weekend in Texas! We dive into Max’s championship charge and how McLaren’s struggles in Austin have opened the door for a late-season twist — including our updated percentage odds relative to a unicorn, on Max’s title chances.

We also unpack the “repercussions” at McLaren following last race’s collision and admit we might finally be reaching our breaking point with the Papaya team. Elsewhere, we break down the bizarre incidents involving Lance Stroll and Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton’s late-season resurgence, and Charles Leclerc’s hard-nosed defensive driving.

And because no battle is too small for us — we even head to the back of the pack to dissect Alpine’s strange team orders for 17th and 18th place. All that and more in this week’s US GP review from Austin!

With just six races to go James, Nathan, and Jacqui are back to unpack a headline-filled stretch dominated by McLaren drama! From the Oscar Piastri and Ferrari rumours to the ongoing legal mess with Alex Palou, we’ve got it all covered. Did Zak Brown really promise Palou an F1 seat, or was he simply not quick enough? And what should we make of the whispers about Piastri and Charles Leclerc swapping teams — could there be any truth to it?

With McLaren wrapping up the Constructors’ Championship, we ask whether the drivers will still toe the team line or start racing purely for themselves. Plus, the burning question: what would it actually take for James to admit McLaren favour Lando?

We also look ahead to the Sprint weekend at COTA, making our bold winner predictions and debating how to fix Sprint weekends so they don’t compromise the main event on Sunday. And finally — because it’s us — we wrap things up by asking which F1 drivers ICE would target, as we poke fun at America’s ongoing political circus.

Jacqui joins the crew permanently as all four team members break down a dramatic Singapore Grand Prix! James celebrates George Russell’s big victory, but the spotlight is firmly on the controversy at McLaren as both drivers edge closer to the championship fight. With Lando barging past Oscar on lap one, is there a pattern emerging against the Australian? Will we see a rethink of the so-called “Papaya rules of racing”?

We dive into Oscar’s mindset, debate whether Norris is getting preferential treatment, and tear into yet another weekend of dreadful stewarding. Add in some truly baffling broadcast choices — from endless girlfriend shots, to commentary ahead of pictures, to missing Alonso vs. Hamilton on the final lap — and there’s plenty to get fired up about.

Plus, Jacqui stirs the pot with her Driver of the Day pick, sparking debate over just how impressive Russell’s drive really was on a circuit famed for being nearly impossible to overtake on. All that and more in this week’s Singapore GP review!

With Nathan out, Taylor and James are back to preview the Singapore Grand Prix! The boys go long on Max Verstappen’s championship chances before diving into the “Papaya rules” drama and the controversy around McLaren’s possible team favouritism. Do they secretly want Lando to take the crown? Australians are prickly about playing favourites, and Taylor asks the question 'what happens if a position swap ends up costing Oscar his shot at the title?'

They also react to the news that Lewis Hamilton’s beloved dog Roscoe is unwell — and even ask the question: could Lewis miss the Singapore GP? And of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without things getting weird… why exactly are the Avengers and testicles part of the conversation? You’ll just have to tune in to find out!

Jacqui joins Nathan & Nathan (aka the worst potential shampoo brand of all time) to break down a potentially championship-altering Azerbaijan Grand Prix! With Max Verstappen securing yet another Grand Slam, is he suddenly a sneaky long shot to snatch the title?

We dive into Oscar Piastri’s nightmare weekend in Baku — from his qualifying crash to jumping the start, stalling, and crashing all on lap one. Is this evidence of cracks under pressure, or just a race to forget? The crew debates whether the race itself was actually entertaining, and if the championship fight being wide open makes it all the more thrilling.

We also celebrate Carlos Sainz’s return to form as he equaled a podium record not seen since Alain Prost, and highlight the improving fortunes of Red Bull’s “whipping boys,” Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson. Finally, we look ahead to Singapore and discuss how a third straight Max victory could rattle McLaren — and reshape the championship picture entirely!

The boys are back (sort of) to recap a controversial — if slightly dull — Italian Grand Prix from the home of the Tifosi! With travel chaos striking again, Nathan calls in friend of the pod Jacqui to join James’ Hawaiian audio snippets for a full Monza breakdown.

We kick things off with a Mark Webber mention inside the first minute before moving on to his protégé, Oscar Piastri, and the dubious team orders from McLaren. We dissect why this call either pleased or infuriated us, and what it means for the championship. Drawing on Webber’s own history of team orders battles 15 years ago, we ask the big question: what’s the breaking point between McLaren’s two title contenders?

Beyond that, we dig into Carlos Sainz’s disappointing 2025, another Max Verstappen masterclass (while his teammate was nearly lapped!), perplexing stewarding decisions, Lewis Hamilton’s improved mindset, and Isack Hadjar’s continued rise in his rookie season.

All that and more in this week’s review of the Monza GP!

Please excuse the dip in audio quality this week — travel got in the way! The boys are back to break down all the drama from the Dutch Grand Prix, headlined by Oscar Piastri’s monumental achievement in drawing level with Mark Webber’s career win tally — and doing it with his first ever grand slam!

We dive into Lando’s rotten luck, Ferrari’s brutal double retirement, and debate whether the Dutch GP really delivered as a spectacle. Did Carlos Sainz truly deserve his penalty? And why on earth did the stewards wait until after the race to punish Lewis Hamilton for a yellow flag infringement?

All that plus a look at what Oscar’s dominant weekend means for the championship as we turn our eyes toward Monza after a chaotic Zandvoort showdown!

The boys are back with Part 2 of our F1 mid-season break listener questions! This time we tackle the big ones: will Adrian Newey work his magic again at Aston Martin? Who are our picks for the big risers and fallers of 2026? We debate who will drive for Cadillac — and who we’d want behind the wheel — plus ask if Williams can ever win a race again.

We also get into the circuits: which tracks we’re desperate to visit, which we’d happily never see again, and the ones we’d love to return to. And of course, no episode would be complete without a healthy dose of “take a shot” moments whenever you hear us say “Max Verstappen,” “Daniel Ricciardo,” or “British bias.”
