The 2025 Formula 1 season has been WILD to say the least... from Oscar Piastri’s incredible home win in Melbourne to the shock end (and restart) of Max Verstappen’s dominance, we break down everything that’s happened so far this year.

In this episode, we dive into the standout moments that have defined the season - Nico Hülkenberg’s shock podium, Isack Hadjar’s breakout moment, and Carlos Sainz’s impressive run with Williams Racing. We look back at Lewis Hamilton’s lone win and unpack what’s gone right (and wrong) for each of the top teams.

Then we shift gears to what’s next... crunching the championship math to see whether Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, or even George Russell can take home the 2025 Drivers’ Championship and previewing this weekend's upcoming Brazilian GP at Interlagos.

If you want a refresh on what’s been, what’s still to come, and who could actually win this title fight, strap yourself in, it's a good one.
