It's time for another race debrief! So let's do exactly that, or kind of that... The Japan Grand Prix weekend was a very straightforward one so that calls for a shorter episode. Are these new regulations making quali boring? Do we need to take a look at the race regulations after *that* Bearman crash? And is Max Verstappen retiring from Formula 1?!Get a snack, get comfy and enjoy!!link to the F1 Fantasy league: https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/P56BAKUV907

It finally happened, the first race weekend of the 2026 season! The Australian GP weekend was one we won’t forget anytime soon.

From problems with the race starts to literal eyes on the Williams car! And last but definitely not least we have some new signings in the feeder series!!Get a snack, get comfy and enjoy!!

Let’s chat about the newest 2026 signings in Formula 2 and F1 Academy and the 2026 F1 Academy race calendar. I also finally discuss Arvid Lindblad being on the grid next season and Helmut Marco finally retiring.MOM (Manual Override Mode) is gone before it was even here and last but not least let’s open my pre season predictions written on 13 February 2025. Spoiler alert: they’re diabolical.Get settled for once last time, grab a snack and a drink and enjoy this final episode!🎧✨

LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM TO BE THE SECOND HOST: https://forms.gle/swcwkfCVeAUvwjxc7It all came down to this — one final showdown, one final chance, and in the end only one could take the crown… LANDO NORRIS IS YOUR 2025 FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPION! 🏆Before we close out the season, let’s rewind to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend. We kicked things off with Junior Leclerc and a handful of other rookies in FP1, followed by a wildly entertaining qualifying session. Then came the Grand Prix itself: Norris pulling off outrageous overtakes, Ferrari flirting with genuinely promising pace, and yes… we need to address Red Bull’s very obvious use of Yuki Tsunoda as a strategic pawn.Over in Formula 2, several drivers completed their final weekend in the series, plus we witnessed a less-than-tense fight for P2 and a fiercely contested battle for the teams’ championship title.I truly can’t believe the season has wrapped. Grab a snack, get comfy, and let’s break down every last twist of an unforgettable finale! 🎧✨

LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM TO BE THE SECOND HOST: https://forms.gle/swcwkfCVeAUvwjxc7Let’s chat all things Qatar Grand Prix weekend! From McLaren fumbling their strategy and not only losing P2 for Oscar in the Championship standings but also costing Lando the title to the incredible performance by Williams and Carlos Sainz.I also address the hate Kimi Antonelli is receiving online and look ahead to Abu Dhabi with some mandatory rookie running sessions.And I can finally chat about Formula 2 again where we went into the weekend with 5 possible champions and came out of it with 1 crowned champion!Get settled, grab a drink and enjoy!Link to the F1 article about the Abu Dhabi scenarios: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/championship-permutations-where-does-norris-need-to-finish-in-abu-dhabi-to.DtWufByimYARjI5kujzt3

LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM TO BE THE SECOND HOST: https://forms.gle/swcwkfCVeAUvwjxc7Las Vegas was absolutely chaotic—qualifying had us shook with a wet track (Lewis P20? Kimi P17??), and Q3 was a rollercoaster—shoutout to Carlos snagging P3! The race itself… well, Lando definitely had a “I f-ed it up” moment at turn one, and Piastri just couldn’t keep up. And yeah, McLaren got disqualified 😬 because of plank wear… dramaaaa. The Championship is very much alive and kicking with Max and Oscar tied for P2 and Lando only 24 points ahead in P1! Also, can we talk about how gorgeous the special Racing Bulls livery was? And those helmets for Lewis and Lando? Iconic.Then we shift gears to Qatar, where the sprint race may be very important for the 3 way championship fight! And guess what… F2 is BACK next weekend, so get ready for more action!Get settled, grab a drink and enjoy!

LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM TO BE THE SECOND HOST: https://forms.gle/swcwkfCVeAUvwjxc7What a great race weekend it was once again! Brazil did not disappoint. What started as a great weekend for Piastri with him being in P2 during Free Practice ended in disaster with a DNf during the sprint race and a P5 finish in the Grand Prix. For home favorite Gabriel Bortoleto it was also a weekend to forget…And then we haven’t touch on Max Verstappen. From going out in Q1 for the first time in his F1 career on pure pace to an absolute masterclass during the Grand Prix from pitlane to the podium. And eve then we haven’t touched on Gasly, Bearman and Lando Norris…It’s a packed episode so grab a snack and get comfortable!

LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM TO BE THE SECOND HOST: https://forms.gle/swcwkfCVeAUvwjxc7Mexico was a fun one! So let’s chat about it because so much happened!! It all started with 9(!) rookies in FP1 which gave us some great comparisons for the remaining seats for 2026. Next up we had quali where Lando was absolutely soaring (flinging, there’s not a star in heaven that we can’t reach!), and the Ferrari’s absolutely came to life.And then came the Grand Prix… chaos in lap 1, marshals on the track, Hamilton penalty, Ollie Bearman briefly in P3 (ended in P4, incredible result!), sassy GR, two battles cut short thanks to an (unnecessary) VSC. Just an insane race!Grab a snack and a drink and enjoy the episode!

LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM TO BE THE SECOND HOST: https://forms.gle/swcwkfCVeAUvwjxc7A look back at the Austin Grand Prix weekend. It all started with the sprint race where the McLarens collided (no it wasn’t Hülkenberg’s fault…) causing both of them to DNF. Talking about the two McLarens colliding, let’s chat about the ‘repercussions’ Lando has to face for the remainder of the season for the little tap during Lap 1 in the Singapore GP…It was the perfect weekend for Max Verstappen scoring the maximum amount of points up for grabs with his Red Bull car looking more drivable than earlier in the season. Will Verstappen be the 2025 World Champion? The Ferrari drivers definitely won’t be but they both seem to be getting up to speed with their car, better late then never, right?Oh I could go on and on about the Austin GP weekend but we also have to look ahead a little to the Mexico City GP this upcoming weekend!

Let’s look back at a thrill filled Singapore Grand Prix weekend! In F1 Academy Lia Block scored her first win and Maya Weug gave it her everything to keep the championship very much alive.In Formula 1 we had some drama between the McLaren teammates while said team closed the deal on the 2025 Constructors Championship. The Aston Martin drivers were really coming for their race engineers on the team radio while Oscar Piastri just disconnected his while Zak Brown was talking to him… Oh, and did you know next year Singapore is a sprint weekend? Yeah, pretty f*cking insane right…That, and much more in this episode!!

RIP Roscoe Hamilton <3Feels like we’re in the midst of the summer or winter break with the little amount of F1 stuff I have to talk about lmao. Luckily for me Max Verstappen decided taking a break was boring and absolutely dominated the GT3 race at the Nürburgring this weekend.We also got great news about F1 Academy with them collaborating with Hello Kitty! But we got even better news with F3 implementing a 1 million euros prize fund for the top 5 drivers in the championship from 2025 onwards.

Let’s chat all things Baku, one of my favorite tracks of the season for a reason. We welcomed two new drivers onto the Formula 2 grid, had a double High Tech podium and a perfectly executed Feature Race by Jak Crawford.In Formula 1 we decided to do things differently this weekend with a 2 hours qualifying session. Piastri had a weekend to forget and McLaren need to sort out their things, same applies to Alpine… And hopefully Carlos and Charles made it to Monaco safely in their van…

Let’s chat all things Monza! From the exciting Formula 2 sprint race and feature race, with multiple safety cars to the in my eyes boring and awkward Formula 1 Grand Prix. All will be discussed in today’s episode.A little reminder that certain things that are being said in this episode are my opinion. You do not need to agree with it, I just ask you to accept I have my own opinion. Please be nice, not only to me but to other fans and especially to the drivers (& teams.) This reminder is obviously for all my episodes but I felt it was necessary to put it here with this episode in particular.Now that that is out the way, let’s dive in to all things Monza, shall we?

Another week, another episode!! This time I’m discussing all things Zandvoort Grand Prix because what a Grand Prix that was! But I’m also touching very briefly on the Cadillac line-up conformation and the upcoming Monza Grand Prix.And let’s not forget the incredible weekend F1 Academy had in Zandvoort! From Nina Gademan and Maya Weug both winning their home race to Esmee Kosterman becoming the first wild card entry to score points this season!That and much more will be discussed in this episode!

After a veeeeery long summer break we are finally back!! I am so excited to say it’s race week!Going into the second stint of the Formula 1 season I can’t be the only one that is excited to see where the championship fight between McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri picks back up again. But I also can’t help but wonder how things will be for other teams like Alpine, Ferrari and Red Bull.And not only F1 is back this week but so is F1 Academy! And not only are they back, they also have a Wild Card entry joining them in Esmee Kosterman. Esmee’s car will be sponsored by Team Viewer who are highlighting all the women making the motorsport world a safe space for girls and other women featuring 200 of their faces on the car! And I am honored to say that I will be one of these 200?!!!!

I had some things to catch up to so that is exactly what I did!! In this episode I chat about what an amazing and exciting Grand Prix Silverstone was. I also give my view and opinion on the Christian Horner situation and immediately dive into the possible silly season.And last but net least, I chat about my home Grand Prix, Spa! How excited I am about it and how I’m manifesting a Lando win lmao!

What a weekend we had at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria?! From Alex Dunne being impressive in is first FP1 session to Williams having a weekend they’d rather forget about… Let’s chat all things Austria but let’s also look ahead to next weekend, Silverstone!And this is your spoiler warning, if you don’t want any on the new F1 movie, best to skip that part of the episode.. Because I have some opinions on it and obviously I have to post those online.

Yet another episode filled with me yapping my ass off about random shizzles. Let’s start off with discussing that video Valtteri posted on his Instagram…And while I haven’t finished watching yet I already do have some thoughts and points on the Netflix docu-series F1: The Academy. Last but not least, let’s chat about my thoughts going into the Austria GP weekend.

We baaaack!! So let’s get yapping about the Canadian Grand Prix! From LN breaking my heart so Kimi could put it back together to Lewis Hamilton, off all people, driving over a groundhog… And even though it’s one of the most dangerous things ever in F1 world I also had to give my opinion on the Drivers Championship…I also could not ignore Arvid Lindblad getting is super license approved early and Alpine testing with two drivers you would not expect… And if that wasn’t enough I also discovered while recording that they changed the whole layout of the F1 website!I know! What a way to come back, right?!

As a girl, I love yapping, which is why I have this podcast. Let’s yap about the Miami Grand Prix weekend! From Kimi Antonelli’s pole position to Ferrari’s mood-switching weekend. All will be discussed in this episode!But before that, I want to congratulate Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet with the birth of their daughter Lily Verstappen, and I also want to talk about the new documentary on Netflix about Kimi Antonelli.

I have to be honest, not the best episode I ever recorded, but still a fun one!!In this episode, I obviously look ahead at the Miami Grand Prix weekend and discuss some exciting storylines. Going from it being a sprint weekend to some possible upgrades coming to Max Verstappen being a non-dad for one last race weekend.And for my readers, I also give some of my favorite F1 romance book recommendations. Starting with one you might already kno,w going to a series you might haven’t heard from yet but is absolutely worth it!

I've noticed some things in the F1 space recently that I just had to discuss. I start with the feeling that the ‘Driver Of The Day’ is randomly selected every race. But let’s also not ignore my feelings about what the F1TV team selects to show during the broadcast of the races and qualifying sessions…Of course, I need to talk about the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Yes, that includes Max Verstappen’s penalty… And I can never forget to mention the feeder series, from a new record being set in Saudi Arabia in F2 to the F1 Academy Netflix show finally having a release date.You will find all of that in this episode of Garage Gossip!!

Well, well, well looks like what we didn’t get in Suzuka we got plenty of in Shakir! And I am obviously talking about all that overtaking during the Grand Prix! And even though I definitely talk about that in this episode, that is not the only thing! Because how could I not talk about rookie running and about qualifying?! But I also share some thoughts on the F2 sessions I managed to catch during the weekend, so plenty of stuff for me to ramble about (despite not feeling very well).

I have no idea how I managed to fill an episode of 25 minutes after that boring race… Ok, no I do know. By talking about Carlos Sainz having an ‘expensive poo’, not my words but Jenson Button’s.Hopefully next weekend is more eventful and less boring. But Fred Vesti has entered the chat so I am already 10x more invested in this weekend than in the last.

Yukisan finally driving in the Red Bull?! How could I not talk about that for 15 minutes straight?! Sadly that also means Liam Lawson being demoted to the B-team… And what have Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto to do with this Red Bull seat? Listen and you’ll find out!But that is not all, I also share some thoughts going into the Japanese Grand Prix weekend and some exciting news for Victor Martins (Formula 2). But some of the Lando Norris fans are going a little crazy, and I obviously, as an LN girly myself, had to address those.

Once upon a time, in the land of Australia, Formula 1 returned for a grand spectacle. But instead of a dream weekend, chaos unfolded. A wicked rookie curse struck, with Ollie Bearman, Kimi Antonelli, and Liam Lawson facing misfortune before the race had even begun. Isack Hadjar crashed before the lights went out, and Jack Doohan’s home race hopes vanished on lap one. The rain showed no mercy, sending Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson into the barriers like a tragic tale of old.Meanwhile, the mighty Red Bull faltered, and Ferrari found itself lost in the standings, trailing behind unexpected rivals. For the first time in years, Max Verstappen no longer ruled the championship.But fear not, for this is only the beginning! The next chapter takes us to the mystical land of China, where a new adventure awaits…That is basically what this episode is about but without the fairytale elements, I just found that a fun little extra for this description lmao!

It is finally here, the 2025 Formula 1 season!! but before we dive head first into that, we need to discuss a few other things.From Amaury Cordeel being Christian Mansell’s replacement to Chloe Chong completing the F1 Academy grid in her Charlotte Tilbury-sponsored car.But I also discuss my opinion on season 7 of ‘Drive To Survive’ and Alpine signing yet another reserve and test driver (their 4th!!!). And let’s not forget about my analysis of Bearcon being beneficial for the popularity of Haas…But at last, we do need to discuss the Australian Grand Prix weekend. From my bold prediction of this not being a Red Bull year to my curiosity about the true pace of teams like McLaren and Ferrari but also Williams and Alpine.A lot to discuss before/during this GP weekend, so grab something to eat and drink and settle for a hell of a ride!

No joke, this was honestly the most fun episode I have ever recorded (the sad thing is that the video is overexposed…)In this episode, we obviously had to talk about my post-pre-season thoughts. Who do I think is the strongest team, and who is the weakest team? But let’s also not forget that the new season of 'Drive To Survive' comes out THIS FRIDAY! There is also some sad news regarding Christian Mansell and his F2 seat. But to make up for that, we have two new signings to the F1 Academy grid!Like I said, plenty of stuff to talk about and to digest. So get something to drink, get cozy, and enjoy!

The start of the 2025 F1 season is coming closer and closer. And the first thing to launch us into that season is pre-season testing! Which is happening right when this episode comes out! So in this episode, you will hear what I am most excited about for pre-season testing and other (choking) things like Logan Sargeant deciding to end his racing career.

Skipping the F1 75 Live event? Not a chance! In this episode, I break down all the 2025 livery reveals and share my ratings. Plus, I catch you up on the latest two signings in the F2 grid and dive into Franco Colapinto’s (sort of) move to Alpine. And I also cover the Stewardle from February 20th 2025!

Let’s make our 2025 pre-season predictions! But let’s also talk about Zhou Guanyu being confirmed as Ferrari's reserve driver and Tina Hausmann finally resigning for another season in F1 Academy!! And while we’re at it let’s chat some more about F1 75 Live and the separate team launches.

Warning this episode may be a little bit chaotic… We should thank the F1 gods for this because they literally gave me nothing so I had to assemble the most random things to talk about. Luckily for you, I am a certified yapper so I filled an entire episode with these random little tidbits. From new partnerships in Formula 1 to my distaste for people not giving the feeder series enough support.

SHE'S BACK!! I can’t be the only one who feels like this year’s F1 winter break is dragging on extra long… But don’t worry, I’m here to make this winter break a little easier because Garage Gossip is back for season 3!! In this episode, I mainly talk about everything that’s happened over the past few weeks. From the Alpine drama to smaller things like Will Buxton leaving F1TV (yes, I feel truly betrayed by this). Oh, and exciting news—starting now, you can also watch the episodes because they’re available on my YouTube channel!!

“It was Christmas Eve, and the Formula 1 paddock was unusually quiet. The roar of engines had been replaced by the jingle of sleigh bells, and the garages were decked out in tinsel and lights. But all was not well. Deep in the North Pole, Santa Claus was pacing nervously. His magical sleigh had broken down, and with just hours to go before Christmas, he needed help.” If you want to know how the story continues you shall need to listen to the episode... Oh, and the Christmas story is not the only thing I have for you this Christmas. I also have some Red Bull chats with my very own unsalted opinion and some thank you’s to distribute.

[disclaimer: very chaotic episode] As promised last week, let’s talk about the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend but make it F2 and F1 Academy. And while I’m at it, let’s also look at how the grid for the 2025 season in both series is shaping up.

And just like that, the 2024 Formula 1 season is over... What a season it's been, and what a last Grand Prix we got. In this episode, I recap the Abu Dhabi GP and talk about a bunch of other stuff, like Max Verstappen becoming a dad?! But I also say goodbye to 4 amazing drivers (and cry about this).

Where do I even begin?! The Qatar GP weekend was CRA-ZY. From Abbi Pulling being crowned the F1 Academy 2024 champion to only half a point between F2 championship contenders Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar. And then I haven’t talked about F1 yet… where we got the first points for Sauber, penalty shenanigans and some drivers drama…

This week, I’m diving into the action-packed Las Vegas Grand Prix! From George Russell’s standout weekend to Max getting his 4th Championship, it was a race to remember. We cover all the pit-stop chaos (looking at you, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Alpine!), plus the bromance between Max and Lando. And, of course, the Ferrari drama that had fans buzzing.

It’s my birthday! (The famous words of Mr. …) So here is a fun birthday episode in which I can finally talk again about Logie Bear and the feeder series! But there’s also plenty of F1 content like Lewis Hamilton not driving the end-of-season test for Ferrari but Carlos Sainz driving it for Williams… And how could I not talk about the disaster that we call F175 Live… And on top of that, it’s Las Vegas race week baby!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LANDO NORRIS! (I felt guilty not motioning this in the episode itself, so I had to do it in the caption, lmao) To celebrate Lando’s birthday, let’s talk about everything except him—from new rookies entering the F1 grid to driver swaps on the F2 grid to the all-women’s test in FE. Get settled because it’s a good one!

Get ready for some (a lot of) rage, but also laughs and excitement as I recap the 2024 Brazil Grand Prix weekend. I talk about super-sub, Oliver Bearman, the Sunday Qualifying session, and the chaos that was the Grand Prix. But I also say what’s on my mind about people’s comments on the FIA being too scared to drive in the rain and Franco Colapinto being photographed while he clearly didn’t want to be. I hope you are ready, 'cause this episode is one hell of a ride!!

*excuse my speech in this episode, I am on the brink of having a cold so my voice was acting up* The Mexico City Grand Prix weekend brought plenty of thrills and surprises! From Carlos Sainz clinching his fourth F1 victory to both Haas drivers landing in the points, fans were in for a treat. The drama didn’t disappoint either: Liam giving Checo the middle finger and Max Verstappen’s double 10-second penalties added to the intensity. And let’s not forget the five rookies who gave it their all in FP1. Dive in with me as I break down every twist and turn of this unforgettable race weekend!

Howdy y’all! Let’s chat about the Austin Grand Prix weekend, shall we? From Liam Lawson to Franco Colapinto and from a Ferrari masterclass to the FIA fumbling with giving out penalties… And like promised in my last episode I will also deep dive into the 2024 rookie running sessions. Disclaimer: If you work for the FIA, please don’t listen to this episode I don’t want to go and pick up trash because of my swearing.

We survived the ‘F1 fall break’!! Sooo… let’s get back to racing in Austin! Or at least, let’s get hyped for the Austin Grand Prix. And of course, we can’t not talk about Daniel Ricciardo and Liam Lawson, but we’ve also got to dive into the battle at the front of the grid. Oh, and let’s chat about Lando Norris… from being ‘velcro-ed’ to his kart back in the day, to his World Mental Health Day message, and his latest Ralph Lauren campaign. And while we're at it, let's unpack a curious article I stumbled upon in The Telegraph—hint: it involves Ollie Bearman and Franco Colapinto…

We have officially entered the F1 fall break. Not an official break on the calendar but it sure does feel like one… We are in week two without any cars going vroom vroom in circles for hours on end and I feel like we might be going crazy.. Luckily we got plenty of topics to fuel our brains with as it is officially announced that VCARB will be parting ways with Daniel Ricciardo. Lando has been giving us a lot of content to talk about like the bus stop memes and him going to a sushi restaurant… But let’s also discuss more serious topics like the fight for the 2024 Championship title and the ‘last’ available seat for 2025.
