Is there any hope for George now? With all these reliability issues, can Max Verstapen and Lewis Hamilton knock Mercedes off their perch?

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?

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?

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 Antonellirubbing his hands together?

And later - did the FIA President really say changes need to be made so Fernando Alonsocan win before he retires?

So was Lando Norris robbed? Did Kimi Antonelli get lucky? Would Max Verstappenhave won without "f***ing mickey mouse racing”? How would we change the Madringto make it more exciting? And did Mercedes screw over George Russellagain?

A nightmare for the sea of Ferrarifans as Charles Leclerccrashes 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 Gaslyon pole after 9 years of trying! How did he finally pull it off?

The upgrade race is well and truly on! A big slap in the face for Red Bullwho 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 Mercedeshave run out of money for improvements (do we believe him??). Plus, Kimi Antonelliis 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?

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 Ferrariand McLaren before? Was it the right call?

So, was it too harsh? As a new team what were they expecting? Is Budkowski the right man for the job?

The two-time World Champion is the only driverMichael 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 Antonelliextended his lead out front? Was Oscar Piastriright 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 Hamiltonanother penalty for speeding in the pit lane by 0.1kph?!

We head straight from Monacoto the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix!

Ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix in 2000 DC survived a plane crashwhere the pilot and co-pilot tragically lost their lives. Just days later he got back in the race car and came second. He tells us that story.

And as we look ahead to this year's race - will the Barcelona circuit help George Russellend Kimi Antonelli's five-race winning streak? How will Max Verstappen and Lando Norris bounce back from last week's heartbreak? And after Monaco, does Kim Kardashiandeserve all the heat she's getting for stealing Kimi's towel and ignoring Martin Brundle on the grid walk?

The F1 world was gripped this weekend watching Max Verstappencome agonisingly close to winning the iconic 24 hour race in Nurburgring.

Did Max's daring overtakes at "The Green Hell" show why he's the best out there? How will he recover in time for the Canadian Grand Prix in a few days? Will other F1 drivers follow suit and should they be encouraged to?

And later we debate - what was the biggest scandal in F1 history? Was it Lewis Hamilton losing out to Max Verstappen at the 2021 finale? Or does the cheating in the 80s trump that?
