Is Lando Better Than Leclerc and George?
Someone said Lando Norris is a better driver than George Russell and Charles Leclerc, and we lost an hour to it before we even pressed record. So we did the thing properly: all three stat lines side by side, average finishing position, average grid, pole-to-win conversion, the Williams years, the...

27 Seconds, One Spin and a Ferrari Blunder | Singapore GP Debrief | EP 040
Max Verstappen swept Singapore: sprint win, pole and his first ever Marina Bay victory. Meanwhile Ferrari sent Lewis out on the wrong plan, left a simple lap-time question unanswered, and Ben lost his mind before we even said hello. We go from sprint quali to the chequered flag: the FIA's…

Our First Guest Was AT Sepang | Singapore Grand Prix Predictions | EP 039
We had someone who was actually there. Tyrone from F1essntls joins us after watching the Sepang chaos from the stands, and he did not come quietly: Lewis is "a cheat code", Leclerc should leave Ferrari, and Hadjar is winning Singapore. We get into George starting from the back again, Max tying...

I Prayed For George To DNF. Then He Did. | Bahrain in Malaysia Grand Prix Reaction | EP 038
Tawana wished a DNF on George Russell live on this podcast, and one safety car later George's Mercedes stopped on the start/finish straight. We are not saying it's connected. We are saying be careful what you pray for. Max Verstappen won his first race of 2026 at Sepang, exactly as Ben predicted,...
-
Our Predictions for the 2026 Bahrain in Malaysia Grand Prix | EP 037
Max Verstappen has not won a race in 2026. Ben thinks Sepang is where that changes. Tawana thinks Lewis wins it, and since he called Lewis for Barcelona and got it, nobody is laughing this time. Neither of them picks the championship leader, which tells you everything about how weird this season...
-
"I Said George Fumbles. George Won." | Azerbaijan Grand Prix Reaction | EP 036
Ben said George fumbles. George won. By 0.196 seconds, over Max, on the line, the closest finish in Formula 1 since 2002. Ben now owes a 6 km run and he said "I'm a runner, guys" on air, so there's no getting out of it. Baku gave us everything Madrid didn't: Kimi in the wall in Q1 and back to P5,...
-
Our Predictions for the 2026 Azerbajian Grand Prix | EP 035
Tawana picks Max Verstappen to fumble in Baku. Max is also her P2 for the race. She knows. "Thank god this doesn't count." It counts. After the Madrid protest, Baku is a proper race again: six kilometres, 51 laps, a 2.2 km straight that eats the battery, and a quali session that gave us six red...
-
The Spanish GP Was So Boring We Slept Through This Episode | EP 034
Four overtakes. Four. Tawana and Ben recorded this entire episode in sleep masks as a protest, because the first Madrid Grand Prix was the biggest snooze fest of the season, and yes, that includes Monaco. The autopsy: quali was brilliant (Lando on pole brushing the wall, Kimi P2), then the race...
-
Our Predictions for the Spanish Grand Prix 2026 | EP 033
Nobody has ever raced this track. Madrid is on the calendar, F3 managed 19 DNFs on it, and Tawana and Ben are predicting completely blind, so this week the rules change: each host must pick a podium trio they have never picked before. Lindblad P3 gets said out loud. So does Gasly. Before the…

Kimi Won Monza From P19 And We're Not Okay | Italian GP Reaction | EP 032
He started P19. He won the race. Tawana and Ben lose their minds over Kimi Antonelli's 25-overtake charge at Monza, the most overtakes ever recorded in a single Grand Prix, from a 19 year old leading the championship. Also in the wreckage: Gasly takes a shock pole by two tenths, Leclerc and...
-
Kimi Starts LAST At Monza… Podium Or Disaster? | Italian GP Predictions | EP 031
Kimi Antonelli leads the championship and starts dead last at his home race. Welcome to Monza. Tawana and Ben size up the Temple of Speed: 11 races in 14 weeks left, two braking zones, battery games and super clipping, Ferrari debuting yet another engine at home, and the standings after Zandvoort...
-
The FINAL Dutch GP Broke Our Brains | Dutch Grand Prix Review | EP 030
The last-ever Dutch Grand Prix went out with a BANG — and we have questions. Norris goes back-to-back at Zandvoort, lap 1 was pure carnage (smoke, spins, Max on the grass), and Mercedes pulled the mid-race swap that has us heated: Merc was right to ask… but should George have said no? We also get...
-
The LAST EVER Zandvoort… And It Might Rain | F1 Dutch GP 2026 Predictions | EP 029
F1 2026 Dutch Grand Prix predictions — and it's the last ever Dutch GP at Circuit Zandvoort. A sprint weekend, a 60% chance of rain, and Kimi Antonelli 50 points clear. Nobody has any data. We predicted it anyway. Tawana and Ben are back from the summer break for episode 29 of MaggottsBeckettsF1,...
-
EVERY 2026 F1 Driver From WORST To BEST | Mid-Season Tier List | EP 028
The 2026 mid-season driver tier list is here. Tawana and Ben rank all 22 F1 drivers from E tier to S+, judged on one thing: expectations vs. delivery. It gets spicy fast: a reigning title contender is handed a D, Max Verstappen sits winless on a C+, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg get the...
-
Grading Every F1 Team At The Summer Break (Fight Us) | EP 027
Our f1 mid season review with receipts: in February we predicted George wins the championship and Williams finishes P5. The actual championship leader was not in our top five, and Williams is ninth with 11 points. So this is us grading every F1 team from S to E at the summer break, and the grades...
-
Our F1 Bet Ended 10-10... So The Loser Gets Lance Stroll As Their Wallpaper | EP 26
Quick note- this one is different folkes. The Hungary bet ended 10-10 and we never made a tiebreaker rule — so this is a full f1 trivia special settled with the games we built ourselves: The Know-It-All (guess the F1 driver) and Paddock Feud (F1 family feud). The stakes: the loser makes Lance...

Norris Steals Hungary & Backmarkers Nearly Ruin The Title Fight | Hungarian GP Debrief | EP 025
Your f1 news and paddock news debrief from the Hungarian GP: Norris steals pole by 0.012 seconds and wins in free air, Piastri's gearbox quits while he's leading, and the FIA hands out a penalty for 0.1 kph while backmarkers nearly decide the title fight. Proper f1 fan discussion this week: the...
-
Our Hungarian GP Predictions (Last Race Before The Break!) | EP 024
It's Hungary — Monaco without the walls — and the last race before the summer break. We call our quali and race podiums, drop our 5-point wildcards, and raise the stakes to war-crime levels: lose the bet and it's Lance Stroll phone wallpaper until the break ends, shown in every video. One of us...
-
Kimi DOMINATES Spa... Is Mercedes Sabotaging George? | Belgian GP Reaction | EP 023
Kimi Antonelli just DOMINATED Spa. Pole, fastest lap, and a win by two clear seconds after hunting down Leclerc, and on the other side of the Mercedes garage everything is on fire. George Russell crashed out on lap 1 with zero battery coming out of Eau Rouge, got silenced by the broadcast, and…

Spa Is Going To Break These F1 Cars | Belgian GP Predictions | EP 022
Eau Rouge with zero battery. That's the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix in one sentence, and we spend this episode admitting neither of us knows what happens next. Spa has five straight-line mode zones, one real harvesting stop, and 70% of the lap at full throttle - and now there's rain in the forecast.…

Can Kimi Make It SIX? : Barcelona GP Predictions | EP 018
