September 20, 2026 F1 2027 Calendar Reaction: A Sprint at MONACO, Spa Dropped to Rotation & Verstappen vs 100 Go-Karts | Ep. 205
Send us Fan Mail
Formula 1 dropped the 2027 calendar this week and it gave us plenty to argue about. In Episode 205, Cheese and Greeny go through all of it before heading to Baku.Ten sprint races are coming in 2027, and one of them is at Monaco. A track where nobody passes is getting two races in a weekend where qualifying decides everything. Greeny makes the case that the whole hybrid approach is the problem: either every Grand Prix weekend gets a sprint, or none of them do, and F1 should stop easing fans into a change it decided on years ago. We also get into what happens the day a World Championship gets clinched at a sprint race, and why cutting race mileage is madness in a season that has produced this much drama in the final three laps.Then the part that really set us off. Spa-Francorchamps is going onto a rotation. The Belgian Grand Prix will not be on the calendar every year. Greeny calls it a goddamn travesty and a slap in the face to Formula 1 itself, and asks the obvious question: what other sport drops its most legendary venue? Imagine IndyCar skipping Indianapolis.Plus: Portimão and Istanbul return, Barcelona and Zandvoort are out, the Antonelli title math that says his eight worst races of the season would still be enough, and Max Verstappen against 100 go-kart drivers — given 75 minutes, done in 35 — which turns into a full debate about professionals versus the best amateur you personally know.⚠️ The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is on SATURDAY, September 26, because of Azerbaijan's Remembrance Day. We will be back with the full Baku recap Saturday, live by around noon Eastern.In this episode:
0:00 – Intro: why we're early this week
1:14 – The title is basically over: the Antonelli math
2:10 – The 2027 calendar is out: ten sprints, including Monaco
3:25 – All sprints or no sprints: why the hybrid schedule fails
10:31 – Portimão and Istanbul return, Barcelona and Zandvoort out
11:05 – Spa on rotation: "that is a goddamn travesty"
16:45 – Max Verstappen vs 100 go-kart drivers
23:51 – Outro: back Saturday Follow the show, and tell us in the comments: should Spa be on the F1 calendar every single year?

September 16, 2026 Spanish GP 2026 Recap: Antonelli Wins at the Madring as Norris Is Robbed by the VSC | Ep. 204
Send us Fan Mail
Formula 1 raced in Madrid for the first time, and the Madring's debut is going to be argued about for years. In Episode 204 of In The Paddock, Cheese and Greeny break down the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix.
Lando Norris put his McLaren on pole with a stunning lap and led by six seconds. Then a Virtual Safety Car caught him fifty meters past the pit entry, a seven-second stop finished the job, and he crossed the line third in a race he never lost on track. Kimi Antonelli took the win, his eighth of 2026, and now leads the championship by 81 points.
We break down Max Verstappen's first-lap clash with Lewis Hamilton and the radio meltdown that followed, Hamilton's brake failure on Lap 6 that drops him 101 points off the title, Charles Leclerc's one-stop masterclass, and the Mercedes strategy call that decided the afternoon.
Then we get into the real story. Formula 1 dropped Imola for this circuit, and the Madring produced four on-track overtakes after Lap 1 against a season average of 61. We read out what the drivers actually said about it, hand the Slap of the Week to the Virtual Safety Car rulebook, and Theater of the Absurdity takes on a pit lane so long it is split in half by a convention center.

July 12, 2026 No Room for Two Number Ones: The Max Verstappen & Lando Norris Dilemma | Ep 197
Send us Fan Mail
Will Max Verstappen leave Red Bull for McLaren? Plus, Adrian Newey's regrets, and the trouble brewing at Williams.
In this episode of In The News, Greeny and The Cheese dive headfirst into the madness of the F1 Silly Season. With rumours swirling about Max Verstappen potentially moving to McLaren, we break down why a Verstappen-Lando Norris partnership would be an absolute ego clash—and why it might just be impossible to have two number-one drivers under the same roof.
We also unpack the downstream effects of Adrian Newey’s recent admissions regarding Red Bull’s rear wing failures at Silverstone and look at how a bit of engineering arrogance might have triggered a massive Rube Goldberg machine of chaos across the grid. Finally, we turn our attention to Williams: Is James Vowles equipped to turn the team around, or did bailing on the 2025 car completely ruin their future?
Grab your coffee or your medication—we are caffeinated, medicated, and breaking it all down ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa!
