Last week was supposed to be the season recap… and then Abu Dhabi happened. So this week, we’re doing it for real.

We’re finally handing out the 2025 Fast Ones Awards — Driver of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and all the other totally serious categories that may or may not devolve into arguing. We’ll zoom out on the full season now that the dust has settled, talk about Lando Norris’s championship run, the three-way title fight that went all the way to the final race, and why this ended up being a fitting send-off for the current regulations.

On top of that, we’ll catch up on the latest news from around the F1 world, revisit moments we somehow skipped over during race-by-race chaos, and inevitably lose focus along the way. If you were waiting for the actual season recap — this is the one.

Same Fast Ones energy. Just… delayed gratification.

The dust has settled, the fireworks are (mostly) done, and somehow we made it through the final year of this regulation set without spontaneously combusting — so it’s time for the full 2025 season wrap. Lando Norris is your World Champion, and we’re going to relive the absolute rollercoaster that got us there: our favorite moments of the year, the three-way title fight that went down to the last race, and why we’re forever grateful for a season that actually made us feel things on purpose.

We’re handing out the Fast Ones end-of-year awards: Rookie of the Year, Driver of the Year, Surprise of the Year, and probably some categories we invent mid-stream because we lose focus like it’s our job. We’ll talk championship context, who over-performed, who quietly leveled up, and who needs to take a long walk and think about what they did (don’t worry, George — we remember).

Then we zoom out: what has to change to replace Abu Dhabi as the finale (just give it back to Brazil already), and what we’re hoping for heading into 2026. Expect celebration, mild chaos, and a lot of detours on the road to a good laugh.

We’re back to break down the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix from lights-out sprint mayhem all the way to Sunday’s main event — and yes, we’re talking about the headline: Pirelli’s tire lap limit and the reasoning behind it. We dig into why the rule even existed, how teams tried to game it, and the pit-strategy elephant that stomped through the paddock all weekend.

Max Verstappen stays right in the title fight because, of course he does. McLaren… well, “papaya rules” are looking more like papaya problems right now, and we unpack how that floundering weekend could change the championship math heading into Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile Carlos Sainz continues his world tour of being criminally underrated, Ferrari is already emotionally living in 2026, and Haas might’ve had a rough one — but somehow the American B-team is starting to look like the most stable Ferrari on the grid.

Qatar gave us drama, confusion, and just enough chaos to keep the season spicy. Let’s talk about all of it.

We were in Vegas, so you know we had to bring receipts. In this episode, we recap the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix from the ground: what we did on race week, what the atmosphere felt like under the neon, and the random chaos you can only catch when you’re actually there.

And then… we get into that race. Max Verstappen takes the win on the Strip, but the story of the night is the post-race plot twist: both McLarens disqualified after failing plank wear checks, nuking the results and sending the championship math into full panic mode.

We break down what the double DSQ means for Oscar vs. Lando, how the stewards got there, and whether Vegas just became the moment the title fight cracked wide open. Plus: our favorite sights, sounds, and “how is this a real place?” Vegas weekend highlights — with the usual detours, roasting, and love for the madness that keeps this sport addictive.

Like, subscribe, and bring a tire blanket… because this one’s a rollercoaster.

Tonight, it’s just Mike holding down the fort — think of it as a pre-Vegas GP formation lap while Max deals with some unavoidable life-admin in the pit lane.

We’ll check in with the chat, get the engines warmed for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, talk expectations, drama, and whatever chaos the strip has in store for the grid.

Short stream, low pressure, full Fast Ones energy.

Hop in, say hi, and let’s get ready for the neon madness of Vegas.

We may be a day late, but the throttle’s still wide open. This week, we’re unpacking every wild moment from the 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix — from Oscar Piastri’s controversial penalty that had the paddock in flames, to Max Verstappen’s unstoppable charge from last to the podium. Ollie Bearman continues his late-season climb toward greatness, putting Haas right back in the headlines.

We’ll also react to Ferrari chairman John Elkann’s spicy new quote that “drivers who talk too much need to focus on driving and talk less,” and what that says about the state of the Scuderia. Then, it’s on to Vegas and the home stretch of the championship — predictions, chaos, and whatever’s left of our sanity as we head into the final rounds of 2025.

It’s The Fast Ones — equal parts speed, sarcasm, and serious F1 talk.

It’s a lighter week in the paddock, but there’s still plenty to talk about. Charles Leclerc put a ring on it, Honda is feeling unusually confident about the 2026 regulations, and Martin Brundle is somehow suiting up to race a Ford GT40 at Spa — proving once again that “retirement” is just a suggestion in motorsport.

We’ll preview the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, where rain, chaos, and safety cars are practically guaranteed, and, because it’s that time of year, we’ll even wander into a little World Series talk. Expect off-topic detours, on-brand banter, and just enough actual analysis to justify the title of The Fast Ones.

The Mexican Grand Prix had everything: chaos at Turn 1, virtual safety car controversy, and a championship battle that just keeps getting messier. This week on The Fast Ones, Max and Mike unpack Lando Norris’s brilliant win (and even better radio shade), George Russell’s mid-race meltdown, and Oscar Piastri’s quiet but impressive comeback drive.

We’ll break down the Turn 1 shuffle — who cut the corner, who got penalized, and who somehow didn’t — and celebrate Haas hero Ollie Bearman for delivering his best result yet: P4, matching the team’s all-time high. It’s a weekend of papaya heartbreak, British radio whine, and one of the best Mexican GPs we’ve had in years.

Buckle up. The energy in Mexico City was electric, and we’re bringing all of it straight to your ears.
