About this episode
At the end of a blockbuster season, Formula 1 has a new champion.

Damon explains what sets Verstappen and Hamilton apart from the rest of the grid, Natalie remembers an early encounter with Max and his sister, and Tom tries to solve a big F1 issue… using diggers. The trio also pick their favourite moments of the year and spot the stars this season who are ready to shine even brighter in 2022.
