We're back for more of your F1 Hot Takes! Should Oscar Piastri have gone to Alpine? Is Lance Stroll underrated? Will Lewis Hamilton retire if he doesn't win a race this year? 

There are LOADS of rumours going around suggesting that Daniel Ricciardo will not be at McLaren next year... so what will he do?

The 2019 German Grand Prix looked set to be the perfect 125th anniversary celebration for Mercedes. They sponsored the race, they dressed up, they had a special livery but it ended up being an absolute disaster... 

The F1 world was shocked when Alpine announced Piastri, only for Piastri to turn around and say no, not today! It's a pretty off the rails podcast, full of disbelief! 

Hungary provided us with a crazy race with Max Verstappen winning from 10th on the grid and Lewis Hamilton taking P2 after starting 7th. We discuss their races as well as have another big old rant about Ferrari's strategy team.

A shock announcement on the first day of the F1 summer break as Aston Martin announce that Fernando Alonso will be replacing Sebastian Vettel in 2023. We discuss why El Plan ended so soon and who'll be joining Ocon at Alpine.

Oh... my... word. Who would have thought we'd be so surprised about a Mercedes pole but here we are. We try to collect our thoughts after a crazy qualifying session where George Russell took P1 out of nowhere! 

The first day of action in Hungary saw Aston Martin turn heads with a controversial new rear wing. Meanwhile McLaren impressed most in FP2 while the Mercedes W13 looked terrible around the twisty Hungaroring circuit.

Seb finally joined social media only to break our hearts by announcing his retirement at the end of the 2022 season. We react to the news and share some of our favourite moments as well as wonder who'll be the driver to replace him at Aston Martin next year.

The 2015 F1 season wasn't a classic but the Hungarian Grand Prix provided an absolutely bonkers race with crashes, collisions, penalties, front-wing failures and Pastor Maldonado setting an unwanted F1 record.

It's another Pain-cast for Matt as Charles Leclerc threw away a win and potentially his chance at the championship. We discuss what went wrong for him, Ferrari as well as a strange VSC restart for Sergio Perez.

Ferrari nailed their qualifying strategy as Carlos Sainz helped tow Charles Leclerc to another pole position ahead of the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

After an incredibly dull first day of running at Paul Ricard we wonder if the French Grand Prix would be better suited for a Sprint weekend.

The 2004 French Grand Prix saw a Ferrari strategy masterclass as they bamboozled Renault with a four-stop strategy to take the win. There was also further embarrassment for the Renault team when a final lap pass saw their driver get fired later in the season! 

Should you still be allowed to win a race after crashing out? We discuss the crazy end to last weekend's Formula E race as well as Nikita Mazepin's recent success and whether France will be Merc's best chance for a win this season.

'F1 will soon have five races in America', 'Masi was a better race director than the current ones', 'Pierre Gasly is overrated... We're back going through your F1 Hot Takes.

The new regulations delivered some great racing again! Charles Leclerc FINALLY took another race win, there were problems for Sainz and Perez, plus we discuss what F1 can do about flares and crowd trouble.
