About this episode

Is Piastri the biggest threat to Verstappen’s world title bid? Who was at fault when Sainz and Checo collided on the penultimate lap? How do Red Bull regain their early season form?


DC and EJ review the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri claimed his second GP win after his superb race-winning overtake against Charles Leclerc.


In December 2023, Adrian Newey shared on FFS that leaving Red Bull would be "like walking out on your family." Yet, just nine months later, he made the surprising decision to part ways with Red Bull and join Aston Martin, marking a significant shift in his career.


EJ reveals why his good pal and client, Adrian Newey, left Red Bull for a new home in F1.
