The Fast and the Curious

Betty and Christian unpack another weekend of Formula 1 action at Suzuka. For the second race in a row, Kimi Antonelli took the win and is now the youngest ever World Championship leader. But could he win the whole thing? Oscar Piastri took second place and finished his first Grand Prix of the year, are McLaren bouncing back? And could Max REALLY be on his way out?

Plenty of discussion to be had as the sport heads into the break, including how potential rule changes could alter the pecking order, and who went under the radar in Japan…

We will be back next week with our Spring break report cards for all 11 teams.

Betty and Christian break down a busy sprint weekend in China. Kimi Antonelli took to the top step of the podium for the first time in his F1 career, and broke the record for the youngest pole-sitter for good measure. Team mate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton rounded off the podium, the first for the Scuderia for Hamilton, who has a spring in his step this year.

Plenty of things happened elsewhere on the grid, which means it’s time to bring back the George Russell Community Noticeboard

It was pre-season favourite George Russell who triumphed on the streets of Albert Park, with team mate Kimi Antonelli close behind with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc rounding off the podium.

In the episode, Betty and Christian discuss whether it we could be on for a Mercedes vs Ferrari battle throughout the year, Oscar Piastri’s heartbreaking DNS after crashing on the way to the grid, and a certain relative of a driver has been in Christian’s dms.
