  • It went demonic and not sexual

    Nate has some fan art of himself to talk about, but then we get rid of him and it's pure bliss for Chris and Lawrence for a while. Chris boasts about a new job and talking to F1 drivers about golf (again), while Lawrence actually played a couple of drivers at a different sport with surprising results...

  • We didn’t forget, honest

    A bit of a logistical nightmare made it a late recording, but it's worth the wait as Lawrence, Nate and Chris all signal the beginning of the end of their F1 careers by trying to predict the podium on Sunday AND the final constructors' championship standings. They had a good run.

    A bad review has Nate admitting most of what he says is in fact rarely a fact, Lawrence has been to see Williams AND Alpine in the past two days - but he hasn't seen the leaked Ferrari until he's shown it live - and Chris thinks Lewis has been part of an elaborate Mercedes ruse...

  • Live* and Exclusive* from the McLaren launch

    OK, so it's not live, and we weren't the only people there, BUT we did get to see the new MCL36 before it was officially revealed and then McLaren were nice enough to let us talk about it in a very cool location at the factory. And then they kicked us out.
