• 26: Lando Norris Comes Out On Top! With Colin Furze

  Congratulations to Lando Norris, the 10th British driver to become Formula 1 Champion. With the whole season coming down to the last race, Lando, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri were all in contention. All Lando needed to do was keep his cool, and that's exactly what he did to win the title and 2025 F1 Drivers' Championship.  As it's last episode of Midweek F1 for the 2025 season we thought we'd get out of the studio and head to YouTuber and F1 Superfan, Colin Furze's incredible bunker to take a look back at Lando's road to becoming 2025 F1 Champion and what we can expect in 2026, with all the changes that are coming.  It's been an equally nail-biting end to our Prediction Championship Of The World and we'll find out whether Ben Edwards, Nicola Hume, The Guests or Producer Jim has won. We'd like to thank everybody that has listened to Midweek F1 this year and wish you all the best for the festive season. Please don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you in 2026.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Midweek F1 Team.

• 25: What Were McLaren Thinking?!

  What a weekend at Lusail for the Qatar Grand Prix!  McLaren had it in the bag, but what went wrong and what does this mean for the final race of the season? This is even more like a Hollywood F1 movie than the actual Hollywood F1 movie.  Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen have all had an incredible 2025 season in their own way and any one of them could be crowned Formula 1 Champion this weekend.  Joining Ben and Nicola to discuss everything and share some incredible F1 driver stories of his own is Top Gear and Grand Tour genius, Andy Wilman.  Don't forget to hit the follow button so you don't miss an episode.

• 24: All Shook Up In Las Vegas! With Tommo McCluskey

  What a weekend in the desert of Nevada for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. McLaren F1 will certainly hope that what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas. Although it wasn't the most exciting race of the year, there's lots to talk about between now and next weekend in Qatar.  Thanks to both McLaren's being disqualified, the Driver's Championship battle goes on. Could Max Verstappen achieve the seemingly impossible? What about Kimi Antonelli's astonishing drive, holding off Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc to help George Russell to the podium, and talking of rookies, we take a look at who's who in F2 and could be on the F1 grid in 2026.  Joining F1 commentary legend, Ben Edwards to discuss all of the above and try and answer Producer Jim's questions is BBC 5 Live's Jennie Gow, and F1 YouTuber, Podcaster and all-round nice guy, Tommo McCluskey.  And of course we look ahead to the penultimate race of this season in Qatar, where Lando Norris could win his first Formula 1 Driver's Championship...or not.

• 23: Pitlane to Podium with Rachel Brookes

  What a race weekend in Brazil, overtaking for fun, crashes and penalties!  It looked like a clean start then turned into an early safety car, and the restart was bonkers with Piastri, Antonelli and Le Clerc going three wide, with Le Clerc out as a result.  Then there was a virtual safety car, Max got a puncture and changed tyres, he then ripped through the field.  Piastri got a 10 second penalty for a restart overtaking move.  Then everyone over took everyone, pits galore and Lando won again. Oh and throw in a stand out drive from Kimi Antonelli holding off Max to second place! Just a few things to discuss.  Joining Ben Edwards and Nicola Hume in the hotseat this week is Sky F1's Rachel Brookes.  Please don't forget to follow us wherever you listen so you don't miss the final three episodes of this season.

• 22: Lando Norris Nicks The Win In Mexico! With Harry Benjamin

  It's advantage Lando Norris as he leads the 2025 F1 Championship by 1 point after a fantastic race weekend in Mexico. And we've got not just one, but two voices of Formula 1 in the studio this week as we welcome back BBC 5Live and Sky commentator Harry Benjamin to join Ben Edwards and Nicola Hume.  The Mexico GP was like a Rallycross race with so many people on the grass, and then lots of penalties, interesting tyre strategies and what about that Virtual Safety Car! So much to discuss along with a look ahead to Brazilian GP at Interlagos - will Max Verstappen dominate again? And of course podium predictions.  As always Producer Jim has chosen some storylines from the weekend to discuss including the first corner crush, Max and Lewis kissing, Ollie Bearman not messing about, George Russell's potty mouth, Oscar Piastri's gameplan and whether that Virtual Safety Car cost Max Verstappen second place.  Plus Harry Benjamin tells us about how meeting Martin Brundle for the first time didn't quite go to plan.  Don't forget to follow us wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode of Midweek F1.
