No more sprints at street circuits, please | Singapore GP Debrief
Jason opens with a question: do we need a Singapore sprint next year? Gav's answer is no more sprints on tracks where it's almost impossible to overtake. Singapore gives them the case study: nine retirements in a wet sprint, Norris and Piastri spinning out of the same corner, and Hamilton left out on softs for 42 laps while Verstappen takes his first Singapore pole and win.
Plus: Norris's post-sprint interviews, Russell's luck, Max and GP's one-way radio, Antonelli's double overtake, and a COTA preview.

The "Bahrain" Grand Prix is run in Malaysia, and it's chaos from the formation lap on. Max Verstappen finally takes his first pole and first win of 2026, tying Michael Schumacher for the second-most wins with a single team.
Lewis Hamilton stays out on slicks while Ferrari begs him to pit, then climbs from P15 to the podium. Plus: Mercedes' safety-car pit call, Alonso's top-10 finish, the three open seats on the 2027 grid, and whether Malaysia deserves a permanent spot on the calendar.

George Russell's Grand Slam | 2026 Azerbaijan GP Debrief
George Russell delivers the drive of his career at Baku — pole by over eight tenths, every lap led, fastest lap, the win. His first ever Grand Slam, and it barely matters that it won't touch the title fight, because it's simply that good. Max Verstappen claws back from P8 to within 0.196 seconds at the flag after Russell loses turbo power.
Plus: Kimi Antonelli's Q1 crash and recovery drive to P5, Piastri's brutal one-corner collapse from P2 to P15, a heated debate over whether Pirelli made this race boring, the pile-up that reshaped the back half of the field, Hadjar's political tightrope behind Verstappen, Christian Horner's book and his shots at Adrian Newey, and a first look at a "Bahrain" Grand Prix happening in Malaysia.
