The Fast and the Curious

Have you got your breath back yet? Greg James and Christian Hewgill have, just. They’re here to debrief a pretty mad weekend in Azerbaijan. And spoilers follow!

***

It wasn’t just qualifying that was crazy. The race threw up plenty of drama. Greg and Christian ask what on earth happened to Oscar - and should Lando have done more? 

Max is just ridiculously good, so we talk about that. AND SAINZ IS A SUPERSTAR. There’s joy at Williams, love for Lawson and improvements for two drivers under big pressure.

Christian sits down with F1 Academy driver Lia Block. Fresh off the back of her first podium in Zandvoort, she gives an exclusive insight into what goes through someone's head when they are navigating the process of a podium celebration. Who would have thought you need to factor in not getting champagne on your race suit if you still have another race that weekend?

She'll also be answering your listener questions, such as...

What's it like having James Vowles as a boss?

When will we see another female F1 driver?

and..what are her racing plans for next year?

Christian is joined by Nicola Hume from Midweek F1 & Talking Bulls to debrief the Italian Grand Prix.

**SPOILERS FOLLOW**

Max Verstappen put on a masterclass to take victory in F1's fastest ever Grand Prix. The Temple of Speed lived up to its name as the Dutchman retook first place from Lando Norris in the early stages of the race and slowly disappeared down the road.

McLaren couldn't keep up with the Red Bull, and gave us one of the big race talking points: were they right to swap Oscar and Lando's positions after Lando was undercut with a slow pit stop?
