Well, that sucked, didn't it? Madring was a cool event but a horrendous race. Kimi is basically the uncrowned King, Lando was mugged by a VSC and, erm, that was about it. Still... things can only get better, right? Pulp from the Paddock in partnership with ascolour.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zandvoort's final GP for the forseeable future delivers the best race of the season, but is littered with crashes, intra-team friction and some very meek compliance by George to let his main title rival past with the chequered flag in sight. The title picture didn't change much on paper... but is the balance of power swinging towards McLaren and Lando as Merc fail to match their pace of development? Learn more about your ad choices.

F1 is back... and if Zandvoort is anything like last year it'll be an explosive return.

The Austrian GP delivered, with some great wheel-to-wheel racing, a super-tight finish and the championship closing up at the top. Plus, Red Bull emerged as possible contenders for future wins, too. However, Russell needs a PR make-over, Leclerc has gone missing and Williams... nope, let's not talk about Williams. How about NASCAR and the World Cup instead? Learn more about your ad choices.

Montreal serves-up a truly classic GP that could have been even better had George's car not expired.

Plus - you'll all be relived to hear - Lance Stroll isn't about to retire any time soon Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jethro is in Italy with more work than he can possibly comprehend, Matt has a surprise visitor to his back garden and, more importantly, there's an F1 race this weekend.
