The boys are back (sort of) to recap a controversial — if slightly dull — Italian Grand Prix from the home of the Tifosi! With travel chaos striking again, Nathan calls in friend of the pod Jacqui to join James’ Hawaiian audio snippets for a full Monza breakdown.

We kick things off with a Mark Webber mention inside the first minute before moving on to his protégé, Oscar Piastri, and the dubious team orders from McLaren. We dissect why this call either pleased or infuriated us, and what it means for the championship. Drawing on Webber’s own history of team orders battles 15 years ago, we ask the big question: what’s the breaking point between McLaren’s two title contenders?

Beyond that, we dig into Carlos Sainz’s disappointing 2025, another Max Verstappen masterclass (while his teammate was nearly lapped!), perplexing stewarding decisions, Lewis Hamilton’s improved mindset, and Isack Hadjar’s continued rise in his rookie season.

All that and more in this week’s review of the Monza GP!

Please excuse the dip in audio quality this week — travel got in the way! The boys are back to break down all the drama from the Dutch Grand Prix, headlined by Oscar Piastri’s monumental achievement in drawing level with Mark Webber’s career win tally — and doing it with his first ever grand slam!

We dive into Lando’s rotten luck, Ferrari’s brutal double retirement, and debate whether the Dutch GP really delivered as a spectacle. Did Carlos Sainz truly deserve his penalty? And why on earth did the stewards wait until after the race to punish Lewis Hamilton for a yellow flag infringement?

All that plus a look at what Oscar’s dominant weekend means for the championship as we turn our eyes toward Monza after a chaotic Zandvoort showdown!

The boys are back with Part 2 of our F1 mid-season break listener questions! This time we tackle the big ones: will Adrian Newey work his magic again at Aston Martin? Who are our picks for the big risers and fallers of 2026? We debate who will drive for Cadillac — and who we’d want behind the wheel — plus ask if Williams can ever win a race again.

We also get into the circuits: which tracks we’re desperate to visit, which we’d happily never see again, and the ones we’d love to return to. And of course, no episode would be complete without a healthy dose of “take a shot” moments whenever you hear us say “Max Verstappen,” “Daniel Ricciardo,” or “British bias.”
