An explosive weekend at Ferrari as Christian Horner rumours run wild, Esteban Ocon leaves Haas and Aston Martin stick with Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll... it's all kicking off ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. Do DC and Will think Christian Horner could be Lewis Hamilton's new boss at Ferrari? Who will replace Ocon at Haas? Why is Lance Stroll still in F1? And who's got the edge heading into the exciting Sepang circuit?

Will & Naomi are back following the dramatic finish in Baku to reflect on George Russell's near-perfect weekend! Has 'Mr Saturday' just made things really interesting at the top of the Driver's Championship? Is Isack Hadjar actually lifting the curse of Red Bull's second-seat after another podium finish? Plus, after Lando Norris called for a race ban for Alpine's Franco Colapinto, is de facto Team Principal Flavio Briatore now weighing up if the Argentine driver is more trouble than he's worth?

The whole gang reunite ahead of the Azerbaijan GP to pick over McLaren team boss Andrea Stella's comments about Oscar Piastri and the decision to allocate 'more resources' to Oscar following the last race... Will Williams' upgrade package in Baku be enough, more reaction to the 2027 race calendar - which includes a sprint race in Monaco - and if Max vs 100 lived up to the hype?

Up to Speed heads to Manchester to see DC & Mika Hakkinen on their UK tour, ‘Racing Icons’, as they bring us stories of getting stopped by the Finnish police, naked saunas and bust ups with their McLaren boss, Ron Dennis. Mika, two-time world champion and the only driver Michael Schumacher ever feared, was DC’s teammate for a record 7 seasons. And as we’ve all seen this season, teammate dynamics are never easy in F1… From Mercedes balancing Kimi Antonelli’s joy and George Russell’s disappointment, to Ferrari refusing to favour Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc. So, is history repeating itself? What advice would they give the current drivers? Did McLaren have a secret favourite between DC and Mika? And what do they make of the new 2027 F1 calendar, with over double the amount of races they had?

For the first time ever this season Lewis Hamilton was forced to RETIRE from a race after his brakes FAILED at the Madring! So after that DNF is he OUT of the world championship fight? Could Ferrari have avoided this if they picked a NUMBER ONE driver sooner? And is Kimi Antonelli rubbing his hands together? And later - did the FIA President really say changes need to be made so Fernando Alonso can win before he retires?

The Madring... where to begin! DC & Will dive into the highs and lows for Lando Norris as even Kimi Antonelli admitted he should have won! And after just 4 overtakes in the whole race they don't hold back on the new circuit. So was Lando Norris robbed? Did Kimi Antonelli get lucky? Would Max Verstappen have won without "f***ing mickey mouse racing”? How would we change the Madring to make it more exciting? And did Mercedes screw over George Russell again?

Will & DC bring you more reaction to Monza and look ahead to Madrid this weekend! Was Pierre Gasly's pole the most unexpected EVER in F1 history? How can Ferrari learn from their Monza DISASTER? Flavio Briatore has accused McLaren of WHAT?! And which driver will take the new Madring circuit by STORM?

Monza - where history is made! Kimi Antonelli fought from 19th to become the first Italian in 60 years to win his home race! So where does Kimi's performance rank in all time best drives? And did Mercedes screw George Russell over with the strategy? A nightmare for the sea of Ferrari fans as Charles Leclerc crashes out at 200kph and pushes Lewis Hamilton off the track. Did Charles deserve a penalty for the incident with Lewis? And how does it feel to crash that bad? Not to mention, Alpine's Pierre Gasly on pole after 9 years of trying! How did he finally pull it off?

It's Monza! DC, Naomi and Will answer your questions ahead of one of the most iconic races in F1, as they prepare to dive into the sea of red for Ferrari's home race. Do Ferrari need to pick a number one driver to avoid what happened in Zaandvort? Would it be Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc? Which Italians face more pressure to win Monza - Kimi Antonelli or Ferrari? And can Fernando Alonso score points again for Aston or will he be looking at the F1 exit soon?

The upgrade race is well and truly on! A big slap in the face for Red Bull who have been told AGAIN they have the best engine so can't upgrade (despite not winning a single race yet...) and Toto Wolff is saying Mercedes have run out of money for improvements (do we believe him??). Plus, Kimi Antonelli is taking an engine penalty in his home race, which could mean he starts LAST. So, could Mercedes upgrade strategy cost them the title? Is it unfair to say Red Bull have the best engine? Why is Kimi taking the penalty now? And are Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris rubbing their hands together at all this news?

It’s been a big couple of weeks for Red Bull Racing! Max Verstappen re-signing then crashing out in Zandvoort, and Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda stepping up for Isack Hadjar after his boxing accident. So what’s the future at Red Bull Racing now Max Verstappen has signed? Has Max just shut all doors for Red Bull’s young drivers? And does Red Bull’s sister team, Racing Bulls, give them an unfair competitive advantage? Plus, why did Carlos Sainz decide to stay at Williams when he’s driven for Ferrari and McLaren before? Was it the right call?

The whole gang are back together to react to a dramatic Dutch Grand Prix! Was it fair of Mercedes to ask George Russell to move over for his championship rival Kimi Antonelli? Did Ferrari cost Lewis Hamilton a podium by not letting him past Charles Leclerc? Can Lando Norris still defend his world title after back-to-back wins? And how is Max Verstappen feeling after crashing out of his last ever home race?

Max Verstappen is staying in F1... for now! DC & Will bring you an emergency show reacting to the big news that Max has extended his contract with Red Bull until the end of 2030. So, why Red Bull given their recent form? What does this new contract actually mean? How will George Russell and the other drivers be feeling? And is that the end of silly season?

We're answering your questions ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix! From race predictions to our favourite Zandvoort memories (expect fire and the police!) So, how surprised would we be if Kimi Antonelli kept this amazing form up till the end of the season? Who can take him on in the World Championship fight? And what can we expect from Aston's engine upgrades? We recorded before the news about Isack Hadjar missing the race but don't worry we will get into that in detail next week!

It's time for the second half of the season! DC, Naomi & Will are back together to discuss the big news of the summer break... and no we don't mean Max going on holiday with Toto! New team Cadillac suddenly sacked their Team Principal Graeme Lowdon after just 11 races, replaced immediately by Marcin Budkowski. So, was it too harsh? As a new team what were they expecting? Is Budkowski the right man for the job? And later, as we gear up for the last ever Dutch Grand Prix, will Max Verstappen be pissed off he won't have a home race any more?
