The title fight tightened under the Qatar lights, and we’re breaking down every twist. Lando keeps his hands steady, Max goes full attack mode, Oscar finally punches back, and Antonelli continues his rookie takeover tour. Ferrari… well, they Ferrari again.

We unpack the McLaren fallout from plank-gate, Verstappen’s digs about internal politics, rookie pressure from Colapinto and Bortoleto, and Hamilton’s increasingly stormy Ferrari saga. Then we turn the page to Abu Dhabi - the maths, the strategy traps, the tyre chaos and who this final circuit actually suits.

Two listeners finally get their moment after being bumped last episode:

• Hellen from Manning Estate calls Hamilton’s retirement.

• James from Parap Camp predicts Max domination and an Oscar podium drought.

We debate, disagree and generally make a mess of it. Classic Recliner to Grid.

Grab a drink, recline the seat, and get ready - the 2025 championship is going down to the wire.
