An iconic track plus unpredictable weather creates a classic at Interlagos. Mixed-up grid, pit exit spins, new world champion backwards at turn 1 and Max and Lewis using cheat mode on the opening lap ... there was so much good stuff going on in Brazil for the boys to discuss. Plus, Matt gets his junk out in public. Pulp in the Paddock brought to you in partnership with ASColour.com Learn more abou...

Kimi is the new - and youngest ever - F1 World Champion! That's the headline from the Mexico City GP, but there's so much more to discuss. From Ocon's absence at Haas to the war of words at Ferrari sparked by more on-track madness. Lewis is MAD as hell. All this and more is covered by Jethro and Matt as well as predictions for the upcoming Brazilian GP. As ever Pulp from the Paddock is brought to...

Luckily this week's episode didn't clash with Matt's busy schedule, so Jethro is relieved of monologue duties. The boys talk all things US GP including Red Bull rage, Kimi on top form, George fighting for scraps and Ferrari being Ferrari. We're still awaiting Kimi to be corwned the youngest ever F1 champion... but it's going to happen in a few days in Mexico. Pulp from the Paddock brought to you i...

Matt is busy. He says. I know, right? He works about 20 minutes a day, has a self-driving car and has 100-hours a week free to break-up concrete in his back garden. But, yes, depsite all these facts he is busy. Which means Jethro has to do a monologue about the US GP, the state of the title race, news from the FIA and hardly any questionable Pulp from the Paddock in partnership with AScolour.com N...

The last glimmer of hope of a real title fight was extinguished in Singapore when George crashed-out of the lead of the Sprint. But the drama is still intriguing - from Ferrari's continued struggles to a new wave of Max domination. Matt and Jethro discuss the weekend, the new race deal for Rwanda and all the good Pulp in partnership with ascolour.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megapho...

Imagine building a racecar, spending hundreds of millions developing its engine and electrical architecture.. and not really knowing how it works or why it does random things. Welcome to F1 2026! The Bahrain GP was truly bizarre and not only because it was held in Malaysia. Luckily a really good race did eventually break out with stand-out performances from old rivals Max and Lewis. And more heart...

Baku took a while to ignite, but after Albon's error and the subsequent Safety Car, the fight between Max and George sparked into something really special. Meanwhile, super-talented Alpine driver Colapinto (who's also extremely handsome) made a tiny, uncharacteristic mistake. Barely worth a mention. Plus, why have Ferrari gone missing?

Well, that sucked, didn't it? Madring was a cool event but a horrendous race. Kimi is basically the uncrowned King, Lando was mugged by a VSC and, erm, that was about it. Still... things can only get better, right? Pulp from the Paddock in partnership with ascolour.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zandvoort's final GP for the forseeable future delivers the best race of the season, but is littered with crashes, intra-team friction and some very meek compliance by George to let his main title rival past with the chequered flag in sight. The title picture didn't change much on paper... but is the balance of power swinging towards McLaren and Lando as Merc fail to match their pace of developmen...

F1 is back... and if Zandvoort is anything like last year it'll be an explosive return. McLaren get part 2 of their upgrade, Honda should give Aston Martin a boost, whilst Ferrari and Mercedes try to stay ahead of the pack. Matt and Jethro delve into this, plus Monterey Car Week and Netflix's amazing facility in LA. Plus, Pulp for the Paddock in partnership with https://ascolour.com/ is full of Ca...

Prince George is having a nightmare season and feels deeply unloved by Mercedes. So, naturally, to make things better Toto goes on holiday with Max Verstappen. What could they be discussing? Who knows, especially with Max's, um, wide-ranging interests... This and much more discussed by Matt and Jethro, including a genius silent bulls**t klaxon. Pulp from the Paddock brought to you by ascolour.com...

The Hungarian GP was a real thriller and the first win for Lando as World Champion. But, was this the one that got away for Lewis? Has George angered the gods? And will Max be driving alongside his mate Norris next year? All this plus Comic Con and The Odyssey and Pulp from the Paddock sponsored by AS Colour.

The brilliant Spa F1 race weekend is nearly upon us, and Jethro handles Matt's absence with a concise preview and then by answering some of the many listener questions sent in last week. Apologies in advance that this is a one man show... but we figured it was worth a try. As usual our Pulp from the Paddock is in partnership with AS Colour. Not as usual... we don't have any Pulp. But still check t...

A perfect summer weekend at Silverstone, record attendance and SO MUCH incident. Lewis on Sprint pole, Leclerc reborn, Kimi on fire, car failures, Verstappen crashes... And somehow a nightmare weekend for George ends up looking pretty good, after all. Has he done a deal with the devil? Jethro and Matt reveal all... Learn more about your ad choices.

The Austrian GP delivered, with some great wheel-to-wheel racing, a super-tight finish and the championship closing up at the top. Plus, Red Bull emerged as possible contenders for future wins, too. However, Russell needs a PR make-over, Leclerc has gone missing and Williams... nope, let's not talk about Williams. How about NASCAR and the World Cup instead? Learn more about your ad choices.

It's race week! Which is great news for everyone, unless you happen to drive for or work for Aston Martin. Will this nightmare end? Or have they written off 2026 already? Will Alonso walk?

Montreal serves-up a truly classic GP that could have been even better had George's car not expired. The net result is a 19-year old is the strong favourite to now win the championship... whilst 41-yr old Lewis shows there's life in the old dog, yet.
