Is Stefano Domenicali right that F1 fans don't understand, or even care about, the sport's technology? We get into it. Plus a wild calendar shake-up as Malaysia returns (sort of), and talk of a German GP comeback.

Lewis Hamilton got five seconds for a 50/50 first-lap incident. Charles Leclerc practically ran Oscar Piastri off the road at the end of the Kemmel Straight and got nothing. We're not sure the stewards watched the same race we did.

The Verstappen-to-McLaren rumours refuse to die down and this week they got louder. Plus: F1 could run 10 sprint weekends in 2027, Aston Martin's big upgrade is delayed to Hungary, and we preview a brutal Belgian Grand Prix at Spa.

The whole podcast was just contradictory. You just said Lando had great drives in the Dutch and Singapore GPs, then immediately said he can only perform when there’s no WDC pressure. You said it was a clear disadvantage to have a teammate take points off you in the WDC, then immediately fawned all over Verstappen for not having a competitive teammate. ??? Make up your mind, use logic, and maybe think things through.
Excellent analysis, good chemistry, great discussions. I listen to many, many F1 podcasts and BOTG is at the top.
Last 2 podcasts have been amateur hour . Imola GP cancellation Podcast was tone def and ignorant . Parts of the monaco preview were akin to listening to dumb and dumber. Tom’s grasp of US geography is shocking, Vagas is located in the north west 🙄.
I like this podcast, listen to it every week.
They do their best to hide it, but there a strong anti Red Bull/Verstappen tendency from at least 2 of the members. But that’s their right.
Easily the best F1 podcast out there. Endlessly entertaining but informative, unafraid of expressing opinions but never shutting down others and always respectful. Top tier.
