Madrid Grand Prix: F1's Worst New Circuit?
In this episode, Sam and Will recap the Madrid Grand Prix, and there is plenty to discuss. The main talking point isn't a thrilling new addition to the F1 calendar, but the circuit itself. We debate the lack of overtaking, the dreadful track design and whether having another race in Spain was really necessary.
Was this the worst debut for a new F1 circuit in recent history? How did the track design get signed off, and can anything be done to make the racing better?
We also catch up on the latest developments in the World Championship battle and look back at the key events from Monza. And, given how little there was to get excited about in Madrid, we've decided to give the "Who Am I?" game a week off.

Dutch Grand Prix: Norris Wins Again, Mercedes Team Orders and Ferrari's Two Number Ones
In this episode, Sam and Will are back after a hot summer away to recap the Dutch Grand Prix, where Lando Norris claimed his second win of the season. We discuss whether this could be the start of an unlikely championship challenge and if Norris can really close the gap in the title fight.
We also get into Mercedes' controversial team orders, which Sam was far from impressed with, before turning to Ferrari and their ongoing problem of having two drivers who see themselves as number one.
Plus, we discuss the latest contract extensions, hand out our Latifi Awards and play another round of our "Who Am I?" game.
