F1: Lewis Hamilton WINS with FERRARI!!! | Monaco & Barcelona Grand Prix Review
Lewis Hamilton WINS in RED!!! Munee is STOKED! It’s an all-British podium in Barcelona with George Russell and Lando Norris in P2 and P3. Rob is still more focused on Fernando Alonso’s dire state at Aston Martin and hoping there’s something to the rumours that he might go to Alpine next year. After the disaster of incorrect pit lane speeding penalties in Monaco, the FIA overturned Issac Hadjar’s podium in favour of Pierre Gasly, but what about every other driver who was wrongly penalized? McLaren are appealing on behalf of Oscar Piastri, meanwhile Redbull are refusing to handover the Monaco P3 trophy to Alpine. Kimi Antonelli continues to lead the championship even though he suffered a power unit failure and DNF in Barcelona. His win in Monaco was legendary though as he sets another “youngest ever” record. In this episode we discuss:👉 'Speeding in the Pit Lane' disaster in Monaco👉 How the equipment calculated incorrect pit timings👉 Lewis Hamilton's Maiden Ferrari Win!👉 Mercedes Team Dynamics👉 McLaren's keen eye for in-race discrepancies.👉 Nico Rosberg as F1 media personality👉 Hulkenberg's car defies logic👉 Charles Leclerc new Ferrari contract👉 Fernando Alonso rumours👉 Was This Trophy Worth It?

Roland Garros will have a NEW Champion 🏆
NO ALCARAZ, SINNER OR DJOKOVIC!!! The French Open will have a brand new Grand Slam champion on the men's side and all eyes are on Zverev. Fonseca, Jodar and Menšík are proving that they are the real deal and have made their way into their first GS Quarterfinals. On the other side of the draw Berrettini and Auger-aliassime could be making their first final. Sabalenka as world number 1 is the favourite to win Roland Garros since defending champion Coco Gauff and four time champion Iga Świątek were eliminated. Aryna Sabalenka may have a point to prove after her final loss in 2025. Her biggest challengers could be the Ukranian women Svitolina and Kostyuk who are due to meet in the Quarterfinals. Sorana Cîrstea is in the form of her life since announcing her retirement, and may have a Grand Slam win in her before her career ends. Munee, Rob and Laurent go through all the action underway at Roland Garros 2026 and share their predictions on who will win the tournment. They also declare that they DO NOT want a break from five set matches for men's Grand Slam tournaments as the shock defeats of Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic would have been reversed in a best of three world.⏰* *TIMESTAMPS:* *00:00 Roland Garros 2026 Highlights06:54 Sinner Djokovic Upset08:35 Moïse Kouamé French Open Debut10:29 Sinner vs Cerundolo12:08 Djokovic vs Fonseca13:27 The Rise of Fonseca16:06 Casper Ruud vs Fonseca17:08 New Big Three17:35 Jakub Menšík18:48 Rafa Jodar20:00 NEW RG Champion Incoming...21:06 Sabalenka21:43 Osaka's Outfits25:54 Predictions - Women's29:51 Predictions - Men's32:22 Alexander Zverev36:19 Thoughts on Roland Garros at Midway Point#tennis #tennispodcast
