Youngest Monaco Winner EVER, Charles Bins It, George 60 Points Down

Kimi Antonelli just rewrote the record books in the streets of Monaco — and the rest of the grid should be terrified. Robert Doornbos and Chris break down the weekend that crowned the YOUNGEST Monaco GP winner in history: five wins on the bounce, a 66-point championship lead, and a pole snatched from Max by four hundredths of a second. Meanwhile George Russell talked the talk in the build-up… then qualified four tenths down and is now staring at a 60+ point gap to his own teammate. Ouch. Plus: Charles Leclerc signs the mega money deal then bins it into the wall, Lewis banks podium number eight at Monaco, rookie Isaac Hadjar grabs his first-ever rostrum — and Robert spills how he made half a year's rent renting out his balcony for ONE weekend.

Antonelli already a better driver than teammate Russell

Verstappen's Jounro Bust-Up A Warning Sign?

The Japanese Grand Prix delivered a huge weekend in the 2026 Formula 1 season — and there’s a lot to unpack. Kimi Antonelli takes back-to-back wins in China and Japan, becoming the youngest championship leader in the history of the sport. Despite a poor start, he fights back to win at Suzuka, with Mercedes continuing to look strong across the opening races. The race itself was shaped by a major incident, with Ollie Bearman involved in a 50G crash — one of the biggest impacts seen in recent Formula 1 history — bringing out a safety car that proved decisive. McLaren showed real progress, with Oscar Piastri running strongly and finishing second, while Ferrari demonstrated impressive cornering speed but struggled with energy deployment and straight-line performance. There’s also a deeper conversation around the current state of Formula 1. Questions are raised about qualifying, energy management and whether modern cars are delivering the same level of excitement, with drivers managing systems rather than pushing flat out. Off track, attention turns to Max Verstappen after a difficult weekend. A tense moment in the press conference involving journalist Giles Richards, combined with on-track struggles, highlights growing frustration around performance and the current direction of the sport. The episode also looks at wider issues across the grid, including Aston Martin’s ongoing struggles and the challenges facing teams as they look ahead to future development. 🎧 Full race reaction, insight and debate from Suzuka. ⚡️ Powered by: @etharalive | @dubaieye1038fm
