Kimi Antonelli wins the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka and becomes the youngest driver in Formula 1 history to lead the World Championship — at just 19 years old, breaking a record held by Lewis Hamilton since 2007. Ian Price breaks down the full race on this special episode of All-In With Ian, posted to the Wit & Grit Podcast feed.
In this episode: the safety car moment that decided everything, George Russell's brutal bad luck, Oscar Piastri's long-awaited first finish of the season, Max Verstappen admitting Red Bull are now in the "midfield battle," and Ollie Bearman walking away from a terrifying 50G crash at the Spoon curve. We go team by team through the full constructors' standings, and we close on the wildest story in motorsport this week — 12 tonnes of Formula 1 KitKat bars, stolen somewhere between Italy and Poland.
Driver soundbites from Antonelli, Toto Wolff, Oscar Piastri, and Max Verstappen.
