A surprisingly loaded episode of the Podcast off the back of a relatively tame GP. Funny how these things happen.
With RJ on the way to Atlanta for Petit Le Mans, Dre and Cam have you covered for F1’s latest Singapore GP, and it was a dramatic one in some strange ways. First of all, completely out of nowhere, George Russell dominated the weekend to take his second victory of 2025. To follow that up, Max Verstappen was able to hold off Lando Norris for second place under immense pressure. But not before another inevitable internet debate about Papaya Rules and McLaren’s drivers.
Lando Norris was boxed in against Max Verstappen’s Red Bull and Oscar Piastri’s McLaren at Turn 3, and made contact with Piastri on the outside. Piastri complained and called for a position swap, and was denied by McLaren. Is this the end of Papaya Rules, hypocrisy from McLaren’s bosses, or much ado about nothing?
There’s also more on Alex Dunne walking away from McLaren’s driver academy with a Red Bull deal in the works, Ferrari’s braking issues headlining another drab weekend, and why Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s about to win the FIA Presidency for a second term unopposed.
