Three out of 3/3 the Mercs are on top, the kid Kimi is flying and there are dramas up and down the grid. Oscar started, and what a start it was, did the safetycar rob him or was P2 the reality? Have Alpine got it right? Gasly certainly has a handle on things, the new engine and a solid understanding of the car, danger watch for the mid pack. And Aston finished a race....thats it, thats the post. All that and more of this weeks episode of BTRL.

Round one in the books, the sand bags are off Merc are out front and it was a silver arrows 1/2. A strong recovery from Kimi after a disaster in FP3. But credit where credit is due, it was a mature drive from the young Italian. Ferrari put up a fight and could match it with the Mercs. So maybe this could be the fight for the opening of the season. And Oscar.......yeah we will leave it at that. All that and more of this weeks episode of BTRL.

That season 2025 done and dusted and this is the episode that has it all. We talk Lando the World Champion, we wrap up F1.5, we announce our Fantasy winners and ask the big questions of the season. Enjoy all this and more in our End of Season Review.

And then there were 3, the first time in 15 years we have a title decider between 3. A Mclaren masterclass in fumbling. A strategy disaster that has almost put the nail in the coffin for Piastri. On the flip side a Redbull master class in strategy. Max is alive. Its on, its so on. And what role will Mercedes play in the finale, and Tsunoda, can he pull a Perez and become the new minister of defence? All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

A new leader has emerged, and it's Norris by 1 pt. Oh boy what a finish we have. Lando was untouchable and has taken the title lead by 1 point, and who would have thought, with 4 to go we are this close. Bearman fell tantalisingly short of a podium in his drive of the year, a rookie flying under the radar and a future big fish of the sport. And it was a close call for Marshall's and Lawson, a little bit more educating needed for some circuits. All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

Stay calm....it's happening. Max has arrived and yes it's now a 3 way fight. Oscar needs a win and needs one now, but where does it come? He is still in front which is the place to be but is time running out? The Rebull is flying, and we mean flying, 104 point deficit is now a mere 40....can he do it? And Ferrari looked the goods but is this just a flash in the pan ready for 2026. All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

It's a team divided or so it seems at McLaren. Is it gloves off now the title is done and dusted for the constructors? It was a weekend to remember for George, a much deserved result for a man without a contract. Williams were on and then off as an incorrect DRS flap saw them disqualified from quali. Pushing the limits. And it was more pain for Alpine, a team in trouble and in free fall. What does 2026 hold? All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

Sharing is caring at team Papya, but is this the right way to go racing? Fans are divided and heads are being scratched, are McLaren digging themselves a hole they cannot climb out? Antonelli had the riot act read to him by Toto as the young gun is now all but treading water? Is it time to take a step down and learn his craft? And it was an almost moment for Charles, the agro is out for us all to see and it seems to do the trick. But, it's too little to late, on to 2026.
