The Fast and the Curious

Oscar Piastri is back on the show for this first time since his TWO Grand Prix wins so it's only right that we celebrate in style (aka way too much confetti).

We also discuss the dramatic end of the season, crown him with his nickname and answer a listener question about F1 drivers' eyes.

After an incredible first few Grand Prix, Franco Colapinto tells us all about how he got his seat at Williams and his hopes of staying in Formula One. 

He also discusses the "amazing support" he's had from Argentina but that it's far too early in his career for people to compare him to his country's sporting greats like Lionel Messi and Fangio.

This week we're joined by a living legend of Formula One in the form of Guenther Steiner. You might think he's said it all on Netflix and in his books but have you heard why he hates baked beans and what he thinks of some pretty wild AI predictions for 2025? Didn't think so.

We also discuss who kicked him out of the team principal WhatsApp chat, his thoughts on Daniel Ricciardo's departure from F1 and who he think's will come out on top by the end of the season.
