Azerbaijan turned on a fascinating grand prix on Saturday night as George Russell led from lights-to-flag, but only won by a tiny margin.

It was still an important win as he looks to salvage his reputation, while the Baku nearly bit points leader Kimi Antonelli, but Antonelli held his nerve in the race after his nasty qualifying crash.

Then there was the McLarens, with Oscar Piastri finally out-pacing Lando Norris, only to throw it all away with a late lock-up.

Norris, meanwhile, was busy calling for Franco Colapinto to be banned after the Alpine driver's remarkable restart fumble.

Full Credit to the News puts NASCAR's relaxed take on fighting and swearing under the microscope.

NASCAR has made headlines in the last week thanks to the pit road fight between Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar.

A now-confirmed lack of sanctions for the drivers involved, paired with NASCAR's wild swear jar promotion, has highlighted the category's entertainment-first focus.

Is it the right message to be sending to fans? And should Supercars think about taking a leaf out of NASCAR's book when it comes to letting drivers show their passion?

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus take a deep dive into the matter on this week's Full Credit to the News podcast.

Last weekend provided plenty low action around the globe, starting with a record-breaking Shannons SpeedSeries round in Sydney.

That all seemed pretty tame compared to Bristol, though, where Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar got into a full-blown punch-on after clashing in the race.

Were the wild scenes damaging to NASCAR's image? Or the type of blockbuster action that other series shouldn't be scared of promoting?

Meanwhile, Australia's newest two-wheeled world champion was crowned in Austria in emotional circumstances while Pedro Acosta finally scored a MotoGP win.

From parity to a wet and wild race there were no shortage of talking points out of the Supercars enduro opener at The Bend.

How did the parity storm play out?

How did Toyota grab victory from seemingly nowhere?

And should we see more of Greg Murphy on our TV screens?

There was bad luck for Lando, another Kimi Antonelli masterclass but to see any of it you had to stay awake.

Former Legend and AVL take a light-hearted look at everything that happened from Tailem Bend to Madrid and much, much more.

It was a wet and wild day at The Bend that provided a spectacular race and an unexpected winner. How did it play out? Our daily podcast has it all covered.

What was forecast to be a small shower at midday turned into a deluge that turned The Bend 500 into an epic race.

Some co-drivers shone in the dark wintry conditions at the start and others didn't.

In the end, Walkinshaw TWG Racing burst from the clouds to turn what had been a quiet weekend into a one-three result in the first enduro of the season.

Go behind the scenes of another explosive day of Supercars action on and off the track with the Saturday edition of our daily podcast.

It was another dramatic and unpredictable day of Supercars action at The Bend – and that was before the cars even hit the track.

As the Ford teams threatened legal action, Supercars backed down and unwound some of the perceived aero advantage it handed to GM last week.

It was a victory for the Blue Oval and a blow to the Chevrolet teams.

What did the major players on both sides have to say about it?

That, of course, comes off the back of the controversial parity upgrade given to the GM teams on the eve of the enduros.

So what does it mean?

Are the Mustangs and Supras out of the game?

Was there any sandbagging going on?

And what's the latest on the legal threats from Ford's top teams?

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus delve into it all.

They also explain the rush to get new brake pads into the country, talk track limits and a whole lot more.

Ford's top teams Grove Racing and Triple Eight are particularly upset, going as far as threatening legal action over what they believe is a breach of the Teams Racing Charter.

So where do things really sit?

And how could they change ahead of the all-important Bathurst 1000?

Stefan Bartholomaeus was in the paddock to get the low-down and he and AVL unpack it all in detail.

They also talk brakes as a mad scramble takes place to rectify the potentially dangerous pad issues seen in Ipswich.

They are both explosive talking points and Full Credit to the News has them covered in detail.

They also look ahead to this weekend's first Supercars enduro of the season at The Bend and delve into the big motorsport stories from around the world.

The one team not worried? Ford's homologation team Triple Eight, which creates a fascinating dynamic.

Then there's engine reliability, with issues for Ford and Toyota in Queensland, while brakes have also been a hot topic.

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus break it all down in the latest Full Credit to the News.

Full Credit to the Noise unpacks a dramatic and intriguing weekend of Supercars action – both on off the track – in Ipswich.

Triple Eight dominated the headlines heading into the Ipswich Super440 and continued to dominate the storylines across an incredible weekend.

It started with the amazing Will Brown redemption arc, followed quickly by curious news that he and engineer Andrew Edwards are splitting up.

Then it was Broc Feeney's turn to make a statement on Sunday, winning the Sprint Cup (admittedly through some good fortune) and setting up a tasty battle within the Triple Eight garage.

It was a Sprint Cup upset in Ipswich as Broc Feeney snatched an unlikely crown – our Sunday daily podcast has the whole thing covered.

After Will Brown's redemption on Saturday, Feeney got some of his own on Sunday as he claimed an unexpected Sprint Cup.

That was down to Matt Payne suffering a devastating engine issue midway through a race he only needed to finish 17th in to win the crown.

He wasn't the only one to have engine issues, with Chaz Mostert's new B-spec Toyota unit prompting concerns by coming to a halt during the race.

Full Credit to the News delves into the Triple Eight engine restrictor saga that has rocked Supercars over the past 24 hours.

Triple Eight announced yesterday that an incorrect Supercars-supplied part has been hampering Will Brown across the first eight events of this season.

So how did it end up on Brown's car for six months? And who is really to blame for this embarrassing scandal?

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus share their strong views on the matter.

Full Credit to the Noise is here to look back on a Perth Supercars round that could have been the dawn of a new powerhouse battle.

Grove Racing has been the form team in Supercars this year and its form continued in Perth with two wins and a second for Matt Payne.

Matt Payne looked to be unstoppable early in the day with a pair of poles and a dominant win in the opening race.

The Grove Racing star then looked to have Race 2 under control as well, only for a fast-finishing Broc Feeney to use traffic to his advantage to snatch victory.

That ended Triple Eight's winless streak... but given T8's struggles earlier in the day, is the powerhouse really back?

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus discuss all that and a whole lot more – including the controversial Brodie Kostecki/Kai Allen clash – in the Saturday edition of the daily podcast.

Full Credit to the Noise is here to review an F1 Hungarian GP that revived one our favourite topics – McLaren conspiracies. 

It was like 2025 all over again in Budapest as McLaren found itself grappling with Papaya Rules as its two drivers scrapped over victory.

Even before his gearbox failure Piastri seemed to fall on the wrong side of the strategic call, giving the Lando Norris conspiracy theorists some fresh ammo.

But was Oscar really dudded by his team? Or was it simply the tangle with Sainz and an overall pace deficit that left Norris leading the way?

Former Legend and AVL debate that and a whole range of topics that came out of Budapest.
