The British Grand Prix delivered pure chaos! From formation lap confusion to a podium shock that left us asking: was it strategy or straight-up luck?

In this week’s episode, we kick off with the biggest headlines making waves in the paddock. Alpine again being indecisive af, with Bottas and Doohan both in the mix, we unpack the rumours. Plus Franco’s new personal sponsorship with Claro might.. Meanwhile, Horner throws everyone with a curveball, naming Oscar Piastri as Red Bull’s top pick if Max walks away. And James Vowles firmly shuts down the whispers that he’s lining up to replace Toto at Mercedes.

Over in the social sphere, we talk Magui Corceiro’s Forbes 30 Under 30 moment, Martin Brundle’s very pointed Alpine comment to Franco, and Lewis Hamilton having a lovely and special moment with F1 commentator Naomi Schiff.

Then it’s all about the race and it did not disappoint. From lap one drama (the broadcast barely showed), to the never-ending safety car interruptions (could’ve been a drinking game), Silverstone was messy in all the best ways. Ollie Bearman delivered a standout qualifying performance only to cop a brutal 10-place penalty, Oscar’s race was derailed by a questionable call, and somehow, after 239 races and 8 teams, Nico Hülkenberg landed a podium. We get into it. Plus: Max off the podium, George getting louder on the radio, and Lando’s lucky grandstand… you be the judge.

A classic British GP with drama on and off the track. Let’s go.
