George throws it down the inside in turn 3 and crashes into the podcast as he reviews the Singapore Grand Prix, tearing down the highs and lows from the night race under the lights. Yes, McLaren finally secure back-to-back Constructors’ titles, but not without sibling rivalry on circuit, radio outbursts, and a television director who seems to have developed a deep fascination with Charles Leclerc's girlfriend, influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux. George digs into how his namesake George Russell stole the show, Mercedes' renewed potency, a rare glimmer of Ferrari strategy, the contact between Norris and Piastri, and whether Max is back to his old deluded self with his qualifying rant.
At least we had Alonso’s radio tirades after Lewis Hamilton’s brake drama, eh?

George jumps the start and crashes straight into the podcasting barrier as he reviews the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. In this episode he breaks down a curious weekend in Baku – from the chaos of a marathon qualifying with six red flags, to Oscar Piastri’s rare mistakes that flipped (or maybe didn’t flip) the championship narrative on its head. Max Verstappen once again looked imperious, while Carlos Sainz delivered a brilliant podium for Williams.
With a pitstop blunder from McLaren, George Russell’s gritty performance and Liam Lawson throwing his name back into the Red Bull mix, George explains why this race felt poised but never quite lit the fuse – and why the national anthem in Baku might just have been the weekend’s most dramatic performance.

George has a quick reaction off the line as he's straight into reviewing this weekend’s action at the Temple of Speed in Italy. George dives into the record-breaking qualifying laps from Norris and Verstappen, analysing why Monza once again delivered breathtaking top speeds and why Max might just be showing us his finest ever form in Formula 1. He reflects on how Red Bull’s low downforce setup gave Max the edge, plus a nod to the rising young talents Hadjer and Bearman making their presence felt in the sport (whom he forgot to talk about enough last time!).
From a trip onto the grass at the race start with Max and Lando, to Antonelli’s continued nightmare, through to McLaren’s pit stop drama between Norris and Piastri, George breaks down all the big moments. Was Norris too soft in giving up strategy rights? Was Bearman’s penalty harsh? And are Red Bull in danger of wasting another future star? Wrapping it all up, George gives a nod to legends of the sport's past Nikki Lauda and Robert Kubica.

George loses his podcasting head after being ordered to give a place back as he unpacks the madness of the high-octane 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.
