Grand Pricks

We’re back with another episode of our award-winning podcast (and we’ll never get tired of saying that!) to break down the 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix as we count down to the final races of the Formula 1 season.It was a big weekend for Mercedes, who officially clinched the 2026 Constructors’ Championship, but the celebrations came after a rather scruffy race weekend, with penalties, team tensions and plenty of off-track drama. Meanwhile, Lando Norris took the race win for McLaren, leaving us with plenty to unpack.In this episode, we’re discussing:Toto Wolff’s slightly controversial personal letter following Kimi Antonelli’s championship winWhat’s going on with Esteban Ocon and Liam Lawson’s futures in Formula 1The pre-race penalties that shook up the grid and why so many drivers were penalisedMcLaren’s latest upgrades, Lando Norris’s Brazilian GP victory and the growing performance gap between Norris and Oscar PiastriRising tensions between Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar as Red Bull seemingly prioritises its number one driverLewis Hamilton’s less-than-perfect 400th Grand Prix and the latest on Ferrari’s team dynamicsAnd, of course, plenty more F1 news, opinions and paddock gossip!We’ll be back in two weeks to cover the Las Vegas Grand Prix, so make sure you’re subscribed to Grand Pricks so you don’t miss our next race weekend breakdown!Follow us on socials:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grandprickspodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/grandprickspodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GrandprickspodcastHosted on Ausha.

It’s official… Grand Pricks is an AWARD-WINNING podcast!After spending the night celebrating and finally coming to terms with the fact that we’ve actually won Best Sports Podcast at the Independent Podcast Awards 2026, we decided there was only one thing left to do: record an episode about it.At 1 am, fuelled by a takeaway and an unhealthy amount of delusion, the three of us sat down to record our very own winner speeches. We’re reflecting on our journey so far, sharing some of our favourite moments, getting a little vulnerable on the mic and, most importantly, saying a massive thank you to everyone who has helped us get here.To everyone who has listened, shared, supported, commented, engaged with our content and become part of this little community: thank you. This win wouldn’t have been possible without you, and we genuinely couldn’t be more grateful for the people we’ve brought together through this podcast.A huge thank you also goes to the Independent Podcast Awards for recognising the work, time and love we’ve poured into Grand Pricks. It’s a moment we’ll never forget.We’ll be back to our usual F1 programming next week for the Brazilian Grand Prix, but for now, enjoy this slightly emotional, very sleep-deprived and unapologetically narcissistic recap of OUR big night.WE’RE AWARD-WINNING, BABY!Follow us on socials:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grandprickspodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/grandprickspodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GrandprickspodcastHosted on Ausha.

It's official! We have a new Formula 1 World Drivers' Champion, and his name is Kimi Antonelli. The Mexico Grand Prix saw the Mercedes youngster secure the championship after crossing the line in P3, making history as the youngest World Drivers' Champion.Antonelli celebrated alongside two familiar faces on the podium: four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who took the race victory, and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who finished P2.But while one driver was celebrating history, there was plenty of drama unfolding both on and off the track. From Ferrari's growing problems to a shock driver change at Haas, we've got a LOT to unpack.This week, we're discussing:Fernando Alonso's rather catty comments to the drivers on the grid.Speculation about what really happened between Esteban Ocon and Haas, why he was benched before the end of the season, and replacement Ryō Hirakawa's impressive debut.Charles Leclerc's aggressive opening-lap move on Lewis Hamilton and the ongoing problems Hamilton is facing at Ferrari.Valtteri Bottas' horrific car malfunction, which sent him into the barriers and brought out a red flag.Heartbreak for Alpine as both drivers lose their points following post-race penalties.George Russell's emotional reaction to Kimi Antonelli becoming champion, and the bad luck that has followed him throughout the season.Discussions around if Mercedes can carry this momentum into 2027, or if another team will emerge with the fastest car?We'll be back next week for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
