Logan Sargeant: F1 simulators and 'The Sargeant' burger

Christian and Betty head to Williams HQ to spend the day with co-host Logan Sargeant.

There's also a surprise lined up for Logan in the form of the UK's best burger chef following the frankly worrying amount of messages we had s...

As we head into race week two we hear from Alex Albon about how the Williams camp can make the most us picking up a point in Bahrain.

Lando Norris and Bahrain debrief with Pierre Gasly

A bumper crop for you this time around. After Team Principal Greg sets out the plans for the episode Betty and Christian get to work with a Bahrain debrief with Alpine's French driver Pierre Gasly. But of course it's not strictly F1 chat, from learning English slang terms to his bath routine they cover some serious ground. Later in the show Christian heads to Mclaren's "space ship" headquarters for a check-in with Lando Norris... and to get more gossip about the F1 driver WhatsApp group. We're a...
