Welcome back to another edition of Champagne Showers and after 238 race starts Nico Hulkenberg has finally landed himself on the podium, Lando scored his first win at his home race, Horner was sacked from Red Bull, and it is now looking like Max will be driving a Mercedes works car. There is so much to cover it what was hands down the best race of the year at Silverstone. Lets goooo!
Well that was a huge dominating win by Lando Norris and the Mclarens but the news is heating up that Mercedes might be close to signing Verstappen for 2026. Who does Mercedes punt out of their seat, George Russell on his strongest season or the most promising rookie in the field Antonelli? Also, talk about Bortoleto's coming out party with his first points finish whilst fighting his Manager Alonso. Join us as there is tons to discu...
What a swing the Canadian GP was for the world standings. Russell gets his first podium of the season, Antonelli gets his first podium ever and, Norris and Piastri finally come to blows at the Canadian GP. Join us as we unpack the Canadian GP in full detail!
We haven't seen this version of Verstappen since 2021 and he is so back. Join us as we break down his intentional incident with Russell, Piastri's mega launch, Hulkenberg's P5, and Lance Stroll's potential replacement as we speculate how he broke his wrist.
F1 did it, they made a regulation change to try and make the Monaco GP a bit more exciting but did it work in the end? Join us as we break down what we both thought of the move and we must say......even we are divided. Tune in and make your call whether it was a good move or does the Monaco track layout need to change.
Who said you can't pass at Imola? What a send from Verstappen on Lap 1 into Tamburello. Join us for another episode of Champagne Showers as we break down how he practiced that move before the race, should McLaren have switched cars, shoud Leclerc have gone onto the softs after the last Safety Car and, is this the last race at Imola for a few years? So many questions in what was an incredible weekend of F1 racing!
Well, Oscar Piastri absolutely schooled Verstappen, McLaren blew out the competition Red Bull style and Alpine is having an absolute dumpster fire of a year losing their Team Principal and "demoting" Doohan the same weekend. What a year we are having!
What a hell of a first lap that was at the Saudi Arabian GP! We had Piastri storming down the inside of Verstappen who ended up with the penalty, Tsunoda and Gasly banging wheels and ending up in the barrier, and a very close call between Bortoleto and his manager Alonso. Join us as we break all the action down and also jump a bit into the new 2026 regulations and what will be different on the cars.
Welcome back to this week's episode of the Champagne Showers F1 Podcast where we break down what was a much more exciting Bahrain GP. We break down Piastri's dominant win, Verstappen's struggles and the upcoming 3rd race in the triple header at Jeddah. Our apologies about Smokey's audio on this one but we will be back next week better than ever!
Well that might go down as one of the most boring races of the year, if not ever, but that did not stop Verstappen from presenting his masterclass on how to take a underperforming car and turn it into something. Join us as we break down the 3rd race of this season and also give a preview of the upcoming Bahrain GP!
Welcome back for the second installment of the 2025 F1 season where we saw Piastri and McLaren dominate Sunday, Ferrari and Hamilton managed a sprint race win only to drop the ball on Sunday and we also have a new driver in the line up for Red Bull Racing in what is becoming a very concerning season for the once brilliant team.
What a place to start a season! The first Grand Prix weekend of the year was an absolute banger where we saw absolute carnage right from the formation lap to the checkered flag. Join us as we break it all down and touch on what was, Lando's best drive in F1 yet!
It's 2025, F1 is back, and we couldn't be more thrilled to break down the 2025 F1 season. With so many changes including big moves like Hamilton joining Ferrari and multiple electric rookies on the grid, this season is already shaping up to be one for the ages. Can Norris bring it to Verstappen and finally become a World Champion? Only time will tell. So grab a drink and join us for another big year of F1!
Well what a 2024 F1 season it was! McLaren was able to knock the ever dominant Red Bull Racing team of it's top step and Lewis drove his silver arrow for the last time in what was the most dominant driver-team relationship ever. Bottas, Colapinto, Perez, K-Mag, and Zhou drove in what may be their last F1 race, and Max was up to his old antics with a controversial move onto Piastri in turn 1 to make the constructor's interesting. Jo...
It's episode 69, niiiiiiice, and this week we are covering the Qatar GP and all of the incidents and penalties we saw in this action packed race.

It all comes down to ...
Ladies and gnetlemen we have a Constructors title on our hands!

Join us as we break dow the upcoming Constructors battles with big money at stakes and we ask the question, is Max Verstappen the GOAT?
Simply lovely eh? From P17 to P1 in what was a wet race full of absolute carnage, Max showed the grid and the entire world why he is sure to become a 4 time World Champion. Not only that but, we had Alpine with a double podium, bet nobody had that on their BINGO card? Let's get into it, with 3 races remaining, the Constructor's battle is in full swing and with Vegas ahead of us, anything can happen!
Well that was sure a disappointing weekend for Sergio Perez! Join us as we talk about his future with the Red Bull team, Ferrari's move up the Constructor's battle on the back of the smooooooth operator Carlos Sainz and Lando is finally starting to realize what to expect with Verstappen. Oh yeah, and the rookie Liam Lawson is making a big entrance into the scene. Buckle up because things are heating up in this 2024 season of F1.
Yeehaw, it's the US GP in Austin folks where the FIA couldn't be consistent on a single penalty call. Join us as we discuss the Max vs. Lando battle, Ferrari's stellar arrival into the Constructor's battle scene, top notch rookie performances from Lawson and Colapinto, and what our thoughts were on attending the US GP in Austin...Giddy-up!
