The Fast and the Curious

Karun Chandhok joins Betty to react to a chaotic day of rain and racing at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. They discuss Max Verstappen’s impressive win and the first for a Red Bull in-house engine – clearly down to Betty manifesting the win in our interview with Max last week, yet more championship heartache for George Russell, and what was going on during the formation lap with everyone’s software…

We will be back on after the next race to react to everything that happens in Singapore!

Four-time World Champion Max Verstappen joins Betty ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. He reveals whether Isack Hadjar has asked for a ride on his private jet yet, if he has a preference out of dogs and cats and how it feels being the most recent winner of a Formula 1 race in Malaysia.

We will be back on Sunday to react to everything that happens at Sepang!

Christian is joined by Molly Hudson from The Times to react to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

*SPOILERS FOLLOW*

George Russell led from start to finish in what was shaping up to be one of the less exciting races of the season, until two quick-fire Safety Car restarts shook up the rest of the pack. Christian and Molly discuss how you’d not want to be in Franco Colapinto’s shoes this evening, George Russell’s perfect weekend and an impressive return to the grid for Isack Hadjar.

We will be back next week where we are joined by Max Verstappen!

We have another new driver on the show! Betty speaks to Cadillac’s Valtteri Bottas for his first appearance on The Fast And The Curious. He tells her how he has found the experience of helping build the Cadillac team from scratch, which driver from the grid he would most like to sauna with, and plenty more!...including a slightly concerning thought that occured under a safety car.

We will be back on the earlier than usual time of Saturday to react to the race in Baku (bless you!)

We’re in Madrid with the lovely people of Marriott Bonvoy and Mercedes F1 to react to a fantastic first ever qualifying session at the Madring. Lando came from nowhere to take pole, but can he win it? Plus Greg is staggered by ham, and Christian has a new fan. No, quite literally, a fan. 

If you missed our weekend preview from yesterday it’s on our audio feeds now and we’re back tomorrow to debrief the race!

Greg and Christian react to an afternoon at Monza that had everything, certainly a race that will go down in the history books.

*SPOILERS FOLLOW*

They discuss Kimi Antonelli’s memorable charge from the back of the grid to become the first Italian to win the Italian Grand Prix since 1966, a weekend to forget for Ferrari, and so many other goings on up and down the grid.

There will also be an appearance from listener ‘Monza Mike’ from actual Italy, and you can find out more about what we will be up to for the next race weekend…
