Champagne Showers F1 Podcast

That was Monza, that was the temple of speed and Verstappen is back in form on the top step of the podium but, we had a very controversial McLaren team order in the midst of what was an epic Italian GP. Join us as we dive deep into what could the most cordial of a World Championship battle ever. 

Welcome back and we're back race fans with a recap on the thrilling Dutch GP where we Isaak Hadjar score his first ever F1 podium in an RB, Lando's huge power unit let down, and multiple collisions taking out both Ferraris prior to their big race at Monza. We also jump into some exciting new about a potential V8 comeback and some of our predictions at the Temple of Speed this weekend!

What a builder that one was to the end! Lando pulled out an epic 1 stopper to trump his teammate Piastri but, was it a dubious dummy call by Lando and his pit wall to fool Piastri? Join us as we dig into it and go into our mid-season rankings of drivers and teams as we break for a few weeks for the official summer break of F1.

McLaren is back again on both of the top steps with another huge 1-2 win for the team, Piastri was perfect, Lando had a few wobbles, and why won't the FIA let them race in the rain? Tune in for another week of hard talks about the wet!

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!

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!

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.
