Betty and Christian are London's 02 Arena for full and frank debrief on the glitzy F175 launch. Who lit up the room? Who got a more than frosty reception? Was it any good? Oh and we've got two more F1 drivers on the podcast. It's a TFATC debut for Lance Stroll and after an absence of more than a year Esteban Ocon returns - and promises Christian can give him a slap. Obviously.

Greg and Christian review 2025 pre-season testing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In our second special pre-season episode from Silverstone we're joined by Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and Jenson Button as Williams launch their 2025 season. We cover some serious ground from how Carlos and Alex are getting on as teammates, to what they learned from each other as neighbours in Monaco and how Carlos' experience from around the grid has been "downloaded" by James Vowles and the rest of the team as they look to take big steps forward this year. There's also time for Jenson Button to make sure Christian's F1 knowledge is still up to scratch and for Carlos Sainz to fully embrace the living meme that is "confused Carlos Sainz".Join us throughout the 2025 Formula 1 season for race reviews, debriefs and the biggest names in F1.

As we head towards the last grand prix of the season we're joined by massive F1 fan (and Fast and Curious resident house musician) Sam Ryder to look at how the final race of the year could play out. We also discuss Lewis Hamilton's farewell to Mercedes, predict what drama could unfold in 2025 and who could challenge Max Verstappen for the world championship next season. It would also be VERY rude if we didn't ask (aka gently force) Sam to pick up a guitar and play a live version of the Formula One theme music, before figuring out how it make the perfect soundtrack for Christian's hypothetical wedding.YouTube: @fastcuriouspod Twitter: @fastcuriouspodInstagram: @fastcuriouspodTiktok: @fastcuriouspod#podcast #formula1podcast #fastandcurious Learn more about your ad choices.
