In an episode recorded straight after the Oakes and Doohan news on Wednesday morning, they dig into what it all says about how Renault regards its F1 team, how Colapinto might fare and the reception Doohan's fate has had in his and Lamonato's native Australia. And they also take advantage of Lamonato's presence for an in-depth chat about Oscar Piastri's rise to F1 title favourite status and answer questions on the world championship leader's progress from The Race Members' Club. 00:00 Doohan and Oakes out 06:06 How it all unfolded 16:16 The Briatore element 23:55 How Doohan was treated 31:29 Is Doohan's F1 career over? 37:18 Colapinto's prospects 46:48 Piastri's mega start 51:59 How Piastri races Verstappen 57:27 Piastri's winter improvement Published: 2025-05-08
