Max Verstappen does the talking...on-track | F1 2025 British GP Post-Qualifying Show

July 5, 2025 • 21 mins
Max Verstappen chose to do his talking on-track yet again. He now has the maximum pole positions for any driver in 2025 - with four poles this season. In fact, he took pole in a low-downforce spec Red Bull Racing car, showing yet again that RBR-VER are always experimenting to beat the McLaren duo. Ferrari's Friday pace faded away on Saturday...yet again. But both drivers made errors to miss out on a front row start and will only l...

The cooler conditions should make Mercedes faster, or so they say. But the British Grand Prix...

"Worst place for Max!" | F1 2025 #Austrian GP Preview Show + FULL Review of F1 Movie (no spoilers)

June 27, 2025 • 52 mins
It's Red Bull's home race, but is the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix already turning out to be the worst place to be for Max Verstappen, and for Red Bull? And of course, it's called the Red Bull Ring for a reason. For starters, the "Max to Mercedes" rumours have started - and then, the Red Bull Ring does have corners that can make attacking-defending tricky. In effect, make it difficult for Max (or any other driver) to keep it clean an...

Max Verstappen Mario Kart-ing to the chequered flag | F1 2025 #SpanishGP Review Show

Did the new technical directive really make headway for anyone in this race? And should the safety car restart have happened earlier? (Pardon the lack of audio punch in Kunal's track!) Before all else, did Max Verstappen deliberately ram into George Russell as the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix came to a conclusion? He received a 10-second time penalty for "causing a collision", but was Verstappen angry at Russell's driving or Red Bul...
