US GP Preview monologue
Matt is busy. He says. I know, right? He works about 20 minutes a day, has a self-driving car and has 100-hours a week free to break-up concrete in his back garden. But, yes, depsite all these facts he is busy. Which means Jethro has to do a monologue about the US GP, the state of the title race, news from the FIA and hardly any questionable Pulp from the Paddock in partnership with AScolour.com Normal service will be resumed next week.

Sepang shows the very worst and best of F1 in one (long) afternoon
Imagine building a racecar, spending hundreds of millions developing its engine and electrical architecture.. and not really knowing how it works or why it does random things. Welcome to F1 2026! The Bahrain GP was truly bizarre and not only because it was held in Malaysia. Luckily a really good race did eventually break out with stand-out performances from old rivals Max and Lewis. And more heartbreak for Russell. Matt and Jethro discuss all this and a whole lot more in Pulp from the Paddock in partnership with ASColour.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Russell is BACK... maybe. Is the title fight alive again after Azerbaijan?
Baku took a while to ignite, but after Albon's error and the subsequent Safety Car, the fight between Max and George sparked into something really special. Meanwhile, super-talented Alpine driver Colapinto (who's also extremely handsome) made a tiny, uncharacteristic mistake. Barely worth a mention. Plus, why have Ferrari gone missing?

McLaren mugged in Madrid. Crowd, sleeping, don't notice
Well, that sucked, didn't it? Madring was a cool event but a horrendous race. Kimi is basically the uncrowned King, Lando was mugged by a VSC and, erm, that was about it. Still... things can only get better, right? Pulp from the Paddock in partnership with ascolour.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Team orders shocker for George and Lewis rages
Zandvoort's final GP for the forseeable future delivers the best race of the season, but is littered with crashes, intra-team friction and some very meek compliance by George to let his main title rival past with the chequered flag in sight. The title picture didn't change much on paper... but is the balance of power swinging towards McLaren and Lando as Merc fail to match their pace of development? Learn more about your ad choices.

Yabba dabba... d'oh. Will the real Russell fans please stand up?
The Austrian GP delivered, with some great wheel-to-wheel racing, a super-tight finish and the championship closing up at the top. Plus, Red Bull emerged as possible contenders for future wins, too.
