Up To Speed

Kimi Antonelli TAKE A BOW! At just 20 years old he's broken the record for the youngest ever World Champion by over three years! So, what makes Kimi so special? How did he achieve that at such a young age? Was Lewis Hamilton right to be so ANGRY after the incident with Charles Leclerc? And will we ever see Esteban Ocon again after he was DROPPED by Haas?

Naomi is joined by the newly crowned F1 Academy Champion Alisha Palmowski, the competition's youngest ever winner at just 20 years old. And later, we welcome last year's runner-up with Ferrari, Maya Weug, who went viral after posting about her struggles to find a racing seat. So how did it feel to lift the trophy with three races to spare? What has Alisha learnt from Red Bull and Max Verstappen? What are the most common misconceptions about female racing? No woman has raced in F1 for over 50 years, so what change does Maya want to see to finally fix that? For people new to F1 Academy its an all-female racing series that runs alongside F1 to prepare women for higher levels of motorsport, roughly equivalent to F4 level.

Max finally wins in Singapore and Lewis writing his own strategy at Ferrari? After another brilliant Grand Prix weekend and another statement win from Max Verstappen, DC & Will break down Red Bull's momentum, why this victory mattered so much to the team and how race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase was forced to improvise after their radio failed! Plus, Lewis Hamilton's strategy call raises fresh questions about trust between Ferrari and the seven-time World Champion, all while Kimi Antonelli edged ever closer to sealing the World Championship title. McLaren's struggles in the sprint and another difficult weekend for George Russell. Assessing the fortunes of Nico Hülkenberg and Ollie Bearman as the season enters its decisive phase too. Plus, a huge week is coming for Up To Speed... We reveal details of our exclusive interview with Christian Horner, where he opens up about his Red Bull exit, Max Verstappen, life after Formula 1's most powerful team, and whether a return to the sport is on the cards. And that's…

George Russell is starting LAST in Singapore with an engine penalty! The man can't catch a BREAK! Join Will & Naomi as they build up to the last sprint weekend of the season at the Marina Bay circuit. Is there any hope for George now? With all these reliability issues, can Max Verstapen and Lewis Hamilton knock Mercedes off their perch? Should the FIA be helping more with cooling vests in sweaty Singapore? And what do Stefano Domenicali's comments about the last races of the season ACTUALLY mean?

Chaos, pure chaos at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia! DC & Will react to all the madness from Max Verstappen's first win of 2026, to "LEGO racing" on the maddest formation lap we've ever seen, almost 2 hour delays, an insane recovery from Lewis Hamilton and a heartbreaking DNF spoiling George Russell's title hopes! Is Max entering Michael Schumacher territory? Why don't 2026 F1 cars work in the rain?! Could Lewis have won the race if he was on different tyres? And is Russell out of the title fight now?

An explosive weekend at Ferrari as Christian Horner rumours run wild, Esteban Ocon leaves Haas and Aston Martin stick with Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll... it's all kicking off ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. Do DC and Will think Christian Horner could be Lewis Hamilton's new boss at Ferrari? Who will replace Ocon at Haas? Why is Lance Stroll still in F1?

Will & Naomi are back following the dramatic finish in Baku to reflect on George Russell's near-perfect weekend! Has 'Mr Saturday' just made things really interesting at the top of the Driver's Championship? Is Isack Hadjar actually lifting the curse of Red Bull's second-seat after another podium finish? Plus, after Lando Norris called for a race ban for Alpine's Franco Colapinto, is de facto Team Principal Flavio Briatore now weighing up if the Argentine driver is more trouble than he's worth?

The whole gang reunite ahead of the Azerbaijan GP to pick over McLaren team boss Andrea Stella's comments about Oscar Piastri and the decision to allocate 'more resources' to Oscar following the last race... Will Williams' upgrade package in Baku be enough, more reaction to the 2027 race calendar - which includes a sprint race in Monaco - and if Max vs 100 lived up to the hype?

Up to Speed heads to Manchester to see DC & Mika Hakkinen on their UK tour, ‘Racing Icons’, as they bring us stories of getting stopped by the Finnish police, naked saunas and bust ups with their McLaren boss, Ron Dennis. Mika, two-time world champion and the only driver Michael Schumacher ever feared, was DC’s teammate for a record 7 seasons. And as we’ve all seen this season, teammate dynamics are never easy in F1… From Mercedes balancing Kimi Antonelli’s joy and George Russell’s disappointment, to Ferrari refusing to favour Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc. So, is history repeating itself? What advice would they give the current drivers? Did McLaren have a secret favourite between DC and Mika? And what do they make of the new 2027 F1 calendar, with over double the amount of races they had?

For the first time ever this season Lewis Hamilton was forced to RETIRE from a race after his brakes FAILED at the Madring! So after that DNF is he OUT of the world championship fight? Could Ferrari have avoided this if they picked a NUMBER ONE driver sooner? And is Kimi Antonelli rubbing his hands together? And later - did the FIA President really say changes need to be made so Fernando Alonso can win before he retires?

The Madring... where to begin! DC & Will dive into the highs and lows for Lando Norris as even Kimi Antonelli admitted he should have won! And after just 4 overtakes in the whole race they don't hold back on the new circuit. So was Lando Norris robbed? Did Kimi Antonelli get lucky? Would Max Verstappen have won without "f***ing mickey mouse racing”? How would we change the Madring to make it more exciting? And did Mercedes screw over George Russell again?

Will & DC bring you more reaction to Monza and look ahead to Madrid this weekend! Was Pierre Gasly's pole the most unexpected EVER in F1 history? How can Ferrari learn from their Monza DISASTER?

Monza - where history is made! Kimi Antonelli fought from 19th to become the first Italian in 60 years to win his home race! So where does Kimi's performance rank in all time best drives? And did Mercedes screw George Russell over with the strategy? A nightmare for the sea of Ferrari fans as Charles Leclerc crashes out at 200kph and pushes Lewis Hamilton off the track. Did Charles deserve a penalty for the incident with Lewis? And how does it feel to crash that bad? Not to mention, Alpine's Pierre Gasly on pole after 9 years of trying!

It's Monza! DC, Naomi and Will answer your questions ahead of one of the most iconic races in F1, as they prepare to dive into the sea of red for Ferrari's home race. Do Ferrari need to pick a number one driver to avoid what happened in Zaandvort? Would it be Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc? Which Italians face more pressure to win Monza - Kimi Antonelli or Ferrari? And can Fernando Alonso score points again for Aston or will he be looking at the F1 exit soon?

The upgrade race is well and truly on! A big slap in the face for Red Bull who have been told AGAIN they have the best engine so can't upgrade (despite not winning a single race yet...) and Toto Wolff is saying Mercedes have run out of money for improvements (do we believe him??). Plus, Kimi Antonelli is taking an engine penalty in his home race, which could mean he starts LAST. So, could Mercedes upgrade strategy cost them the title? Is it unfair to say Red Bull have the best engine? Why is Kimi taking the penalty now? And are Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris rubbing their hands together at all this news?

It’s been a big couple of weeks for Red Bull Racing! Max Verstappen re-signing then crashing out in Zandvoort, and Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda stepping up for Isack Hadjar after his boxing accident. So what’s the future at Red Bull Racing now Max Verstappen has signed? Has Max just shut all doors for Red Bull’s young drivers? And does Red Bull’s sister team, Racing Bulls, give them an unfair competitive advantage? Plus, why did Carlos Sainz decide to stay at Williams when he’s driven for Ferrari and McLaren before?

The two-time World Champion is the only driver Michael Schumacher ever feared. Mika shares stories of his battles with Schumacher, his catastrophic crash in 1995 and F1’s greatest ever overtake.

Hungary did not disappoint! Lando Norris stormed to his first win since becoming world champion… slightly overshadowed by his teammate’s beef with Carlos Sainz. So can Lando still win the world championship, as Kimi Antonelli extended his lead out front? Was Oscar Piastri right to get so angry at Sainz? Was the issue with the blue flags (that tell lapped cars to get out the way) just an excuse? And was it unfair to give Lewis Hamilton another penalty for speeding in the pit lane by 0.1kph?!
