Episode 174 - F1 2026 USA Grand Prix
Summary Teeks and Riri recap the 2026 USA Grand Prix, where Kimi Antonelli’s win left him needing just one point in Mexico to clinch the championship. They also discuss Rafael Câmara’s move to Haas, plans for a Rwandan Grand Prix, Austin’s special liveries, and the race’s key battles. Riri covers Haas signing Brazilian prospect Rafael Câmara to replace Esteban Ocon. Câmara has won Formula Regional European and Formula 3 titles and was reportedly fastest in Haas's previous-car test. Teeks and Riri discuss Formula One’s planned return to Africa, with a 10-year agreement for a Rwandan Grand Prix expected to begin in 2030. The proposed 6 km, 17-corner circuit is planned near Kigali; both hosts hope the ambitious project delivers. Riri questions Ferrari’s late-season floor upgrade while the team is already looking toward 2027. The hosts also talk about General Motors planned engine facility and the uncertainty around future power-unit rules. They review Austin’s special liveries: Haas's Godzilla design gets strong praise, while Williams’ Doom-inspired livery appeared only on a show car. Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mercedes, and Cadillac also get graded. Antonelli took pole ahead of Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar. Ferrari’s strong practice pace faded in qualifying, leaving Charles Leclerc fourth and Lewis Hamilton fifth. The race’s liveliest early action included Leclerc and Verstappen battling for position, plus first-lap collisions that ended the races of Oliver Bearman and Franco Colapinto. Antonelli won ahead of Leclerc and Verstappen. Hamilton finished fourth, Lando Norris fifth, and Hadjar sixth. Teeks picks Leclerc as Driver of the Day; Riri agrees, while also praising Verstappen’s overtakes. With a 102-point lead entering the weekend, Antonelli needs just one point in Mexico to secure the title, according to the hosts.

Summary Co-hosts Teeks and Riri catch up on a packed run of car news, from high-powered EVs and French concept cars to the long-promised Tesla Roadster. Riri brings the specs and industry context; Teeks adds design reactions and challenges the claims, especially around Tesla’s flying-car theatrics. Key topics Mercedes’ all-electric AMG GT SUV promises up to 1,153 hp, a 129-kWh battery and 710-kW charging. Riri weighs its numbers against Porsche’s electric SUV, while both hosts question its styling and whether public charging infrastructure can make use of its headline feature. The Porsche Mission S concept previews a permanent halo model above the 911. Teeks and Riri praise its retro-inspired design, physical controls and manual gearbox. The hosts discuss a wave of French concepts: Alfa Romeo’s hybrid Correrosso, Peugeot’s RCZ Vision and Alpine’s A310 Vision. They admire the designs but question which concepts and technologies will make it into production. Citroën’s 2CV concept is pitched as a simple, affordable electric runabout, with a target price of around £12,000, 170 miles of range and a 990-kg target weight. The hosts also make the case for producing its companion van concept. Smart’s tiny #2 concept promises a 7-metre turning circle and around 180 miles of range, though its styling and eventual price remain open questions. Saleen’s S1 is finally available to order: a 450-hp, four-cylinder sports car priced at $160,000. Teeks and Riri debate its performance credentials and the price jump from the originally announced $100,000. BYD’s second-generation Dolphin Surf pairs up to 300 miles of range with optional LiDAR and a claimed 10-to-70% charge in five minutes. The hosts highlight the offer of 12 months of free charging in China. Peugeot’s E-T16 concept serves up 816 hp, a claimed 0-to-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds and a 15-minute 10-to-80% charge. The hosts praise its design and rally-inspired details. Tesla’s Roadster reveal dominates the final discussion. Teeks and Riri question its performance claims, rocket-assisted stunts, huge deposits and lack of confirmed specifications, and urge listeners not to confuse a demonstration with a production-ready flying car.

Episode 171 - F1 2026 Singpore Grand Prix
Summary Teeks and Riri review a chaotic Singapore sprint weekend and a much calmer Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen won both races and Kimi Antonelli extended his championship lead. They also question the FIA’s explanation for the wet-weather software failure, weigh Mercedes’ upgrade strategy, and discuss the reliability problems shaping the season.In this episode: TopicsMercedes split its garage between two aero specifications, giving George Russell the older package and Antonelli the new one for a direct comparison.

The FIA blamed a software bug for cars losing power in Malaysia’s wet conditions. Teeks and Riri challenge the emergency fix and debate how much control software should have over the cars. Audi’s Singapore livery, inspired by the city’s shift from daylight to twilight, earns praise. The hosts also spot Charles Leclerc’s black race suit. Sprint qualifying saw Arvid Lindblad miss SQ2 after a timing glitch, while Verstappen took pole. The sprint itself was crash-filled, with only 13 cars finishing. Verstappen secured pole again for the Grand Prix, ahead of Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Liam Lawson qualified ninth and continued his recent strong form. The dry Grand Prix was largely uneventful until Hamilton’s decision to stay out during a virtual safety car left him vulnerable on worn tires.

Episode 167 - £10,000 Used Car Challenge Part 2
Summary Teeks and Riri return for the second round of their £10,000 used-car challenge, comparing the best-value and fastest petrol and hybrid cars across multiple body styles. They also investigate alternative fuels, surprisingly high-mileage listings, and whether buying used makes more sense as new-car prices continue to rise. In this episode: Teeks wins the challenge 53-42 after comparing hatchbacks, saloons, estates, coupés, SUVs, convertibles, and MPVs. Petrol hatchback highlights include Teeks' 2017 Volkswagen Polo GTI, while Riri considers a Mercedes A-Class, SEAT Leon, Volvo V40, and Citroën C3. Performance picks include a Volkswagen Scirocco R, Audi S6 Avant with a 5.2-litre V10, Audi S5 V8, and several high-mileage performance cars that would be risky to own. The pair debate what counts as a sensible estate, comparing a 2014 Skoda Superb with newer Ford Focus and Fiat Tipo estates. A Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid becomes the surprise performance winner in the hybrid SUV category. Hybrid highlights include the Suzuki Swift, Toyota Prius, BMW i3 Range Extender, BMW 535i Active Hybrid, and Toyota Prius V. Riri explains why hybrid convertibles are almost impossible to find under £10,000 in the UK. Alternative-fuel cars, biofuels, ethanol, LPG, and chip-fat conversions are discussed, with both hosts noting how difficult these cars are to find and insure. The highest-mileage listings include a 2018 Dacia Duster with 801,000 miles, a 2016 Audi A3 with 770,000 miles, and a 1965 Morris Minor showing 640,000 miles. The challenge reinforces the value of the used market, especially as the average new-car price reached roughly £34,000 compared with £18,000 a decade earlier.

Episode 166 - Mid September Car News 2026
Summary Teeks and Riri return to cover a packed month of car news, from the £154,000 Range Rover Electric and Genesis GV90 to Tesla’s controversial Cybercab. They also examine shifting sales figures, Chinese automakers expanding overseas, job cuts at major manufacturers, Ford’s partnership with Geely, and a series of alarming recalls. Topics Range Rover Electric: The £154,000 luxury EV delivers 372 miles of range, 542 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque, and a 120 kWh battery, but weighs nearly three tons. Dacia Spring update: The affordable electric city car gains more power, improved safety, and 140 miles of range, with prices starting around £11,000. Aeon UT’s “Great Eight Promise”: The electric hatchback includes eight years of warranty, servicing, roadside assistance, and MOTs, alongside a £28,950 price and a potentially cheaper monthly finance deal. Tesla Cybercab concerns: The driverless vehicle has no steering wheel or pedals, cannot be manually controlled, and reportedly kept one passenger in the car after identifying an old parking-related warrant. Mercedes Mythos CLE: The limited-run V8 coupe produces 646 horsepower, but Teeks and Riri question why it is not a Black Series model and argue that its performance does not justify its exclusivity. Jensen Interceptor revival: The new GTX uses a supercharged 6.8-litre V8 producing roughly 900 horsepower, while GT, GTR, and GTX versions are planned. Market trends: UK car registrations rose 14% in August, battery-electric sales increased 30%, while China’s domestic sales fell 23.7% even as exports rose by almost 80%.

Episode 165 - F1 2026 Spanish Grand Prix
Summary Teeks reviews the inaugural 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid’s Mad Ring, from the circuit’s limited overtaking to Kimi Antonelli’s dominant victory. He also covers Ferrari’s inconsistency, Lando Norris’s costly pit-stop misfortune, Red Bull’s driver changes, and whether George Russell can still challenge for the title. In this episode: Why the new Mad Ring circuit produced a largely processional race despite concerns about crashes and chaos. Ferrari’s latest power-unit upgrade was left unused by Charles Leclerc after checks raised concerns about possible damage from his Monza crash. Sergio Perez received two pit-lane speeding fines totaling €1,700 after being clocked at 86.7 km/h and 96.7 km/h. Charles Leclerc accepted responsibility for forcing Lewis Hamilton off track at Monza and said the incident had not damaged their relationship. Isaac Hadjar missed his third consecutive Grand Prix while recovering from a wrist fracture, with Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda continuing as substitutes. Robin Räikkönen, son of 2007 world champion Kimi Räikkönen, joined the Red Bull junior program after building experience in European karting. Williams unveiled a one-off livery inspired by its 1981 Constructors’ Championship-winning car. Norris took pole but lost the lead after a poorly timed Virtual Safety Car and a slow pit stop, eventually finishing third. Antonelli converted second on the grid into victory, earning his eighth career win and extending his championship advantage over George Russell to 81 points. Teeks names Antonelli Driver of the Day and assesses Russell’s chances of overcoming the deficit with nine races remaining.

Episode 164 - £10,000 Used Car Challenge Part 1
Summary Teeks and Riri put a £10,000 used-car budget through its paces across electric and diesel body styles. They compare value, performance, mileage, range, practicality, reliability concerns, and the strange bargains appearing on the used market, with the challenge ending in a narrow 26-24 score and a promised petrol, hybrid, and alternative-fuel sequel. In this episode: Riri sets the rules: every car must run, cost less than £10,000, and avoid Category C, D, and S write-offs. Cars under 60,000 miles earn a bonus point. The EV challenge begins with hatchbacks, including the £9,695 Dacia Spring and a £9,500 Vauxhall Corsa Electric. Riri’s 2019 BMW i3 wins the performance round with a 6.9-second 0-60 time. Electric saloons prove extremely difficult to find under budget. Riri finds a 2019 Tesla Model 3, but it has 150,000 miles and raises questions about battery degradation. The MG5 dominates the electric estate category. Teeks chooses an £8,690 2021 MG5, while Riri finds a longer-range 2022 version for £9,990. A £8,995 Jaguar I-Pace gives Teeks a major comeback in the electric SUV performance round, delivering 395 bhp, 696 Nm of torque, and a 4.5-second 0-60 time. The electric MPV and convertible rounds reveal how limited the market is, although Teeks finds a 2023 Citroën ë-Berlingo and a low-mileage Smart Fortwo Cabriolet. Diesel hatchbacks offer far more choice. Riri picks a £6,990 Hyundai i30 with 44,000 miles, while Teeks selects a £10,000 2018 BMW 120d Sport for performance. Diesel estates deliver practical bargains, including the Ford Focus Estate and Škoda Octavia. Riri wins the category with a newer, lower-mileage Octavia. The diesel SUV performance round produces the episode’s most outrageous car: a Porsche Cayenne S Diesel with a twin-turbo 4.2-litre V8, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and 150,000 miles. Timestamps 00:00 - The £10,000 used-car challenge begins 01:03 - Why new and used car prices are so high 02:14 - Challenge rules, mileage bonuses, and no write-offs 03:49 - Why alternative fuels are included 04:48 - Searching for the best-value electric hatchback 07:57 - The £9,695 Dacia Spring 09:27 - EV range, home charging, and real-world usability 10:19 - Riri’s £9,500 Vauxhall Corsa Electric 13:10 - Finding the fastest electric hatchback 15:13 - The BMW i3 wins the performance round 16:30 - Why electric saloons are nearly impossible to find 18:46 - A £9,485 Tesla Model 3 with 150,000 miles 20:17 - Battery degradation and EV range loss 21:18 - Electric estates and the MG5 problem 24:15 - The £8,690 MG5 value pick 25:17 - A longer-range MG5 for £9,990 29:01 - Electric coupes and the Smart Fortwo 31:39 - The Smart Fortwo earns double points 33:27 - Mazda MX-30 range concerns 34:12 - The DS 3 beats the Mazda on range 36:28 - Jaguar I-Pace performance for under £10,000 38:12 - Why electric MPVs and convertibles are rare 40:39 - The Citroën ë-Berlingo versus Nissan e-NV200 42:42 - Electric convertibles and the Smart Fortwo Cabriolet 44:21 - Switching from EVs to diesel 47:29 - Hyundai i30 versus Volkswagen Polo 49:04 - The diesel hatchback score 51:16 - BMW 120d performance under £10,000 53:51 - Diesel saloons and the Mazda 6 56:36 - Why the Kia Optima looks like the sensible choice 58:41 - BMW versus Jaguar diesel performance 60:50 - Diesel estates: Ford Focus versus Škoda Octavia 62:49 - Comparing price, age, and mileage Important information If you enjoy our podcast and what we do here, please consider giving us a like and follow on your podcast platform of choice.
