Join host Tom Horrox with panelists George Howson and Tom Downey as we dive into the mid-season break and take stock of the 2025 Formula 1 season so far.

In this episode, the team debates the ultimate yardstick in F1 — how drivers stack up against their own teammates. We give our take on who’s done the best job in the garage battles, from dominant title contenders to surprise midfield heroes. Who’s quietly over delivered? And who’s desperately hoping the second half of the season brings a reset button?

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Grid Talk episode without some passion: this week it’s Tom Downey’s turn to let loose on Alpine, while George provides his own brand of sharp analysis (and occasional disbelief).
All that plus a full grid rundown as the season pauses for breath before the run-in.

Join host Tom Horrox with panelists George Howson, Dev Tyagi, and Owain Medford as the team breaks down a strategic masterclass at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where redemption arcs, rising stars, and a much needed victory took centre stage.

Aston Martin finally delivered, bringing home a hefty points haul and showing a flash of the form finally. Liam Lawson got one over on Verstappen, and Gabriel Bortoleto continued his streak of impressive drives—quietly but confidently climbing the ranks.

Meanwhile, McLaren stole the show, claiming their 200th Grand Prix victory with a commanding performance that has serious championship implications.

Expect full team-by-team breakdowns, Driver of the Day debates, and just the right amount of Alpine.

Join host Tom Horrox and panelist George Howson as they look ahead to the twists, turns, and tyre talk of the Hungarian Grand Prix – where overtaking is rare, but chaos is never off the table.

In this episode, the team breaks down the chances of every squad on the grid, from front-runners to midfield maybes, and debates who’s most likely to shine at the tight and technical Hungaroring.

Can Ferrari keep their form?
Is this where Mercedes finally deliver?
And does anyone know what’s going on at Aston Martin?

We also take a trip down memory lane, revisiting classic Hungarian GP moments – from surprise wins to famous fails – before George launches into another impassioned rant about Alpine’s ongoing identity crisis, and Tom nervously watches Kimi Antonelli’s lap times, praying he continues to outscore Alex Albon and win him a bet.

All that plus weekend predictions, one-lap pace hot takes, and a whole lot of Hungarian history!
