Japan delivered a lot... but was it the racing we all wanted?

Kimi Antonelli becomes the youngest championship leader in F1 history and can't legally drink his own champagne to celebrate. Oscar Piastri finally starts a race in 2026 and nearly wins it. George Russell pits one lap before a Safety Car and loses his mind on the radio. Max Verstappen spends the race staring at Pierre Gasly's ass, finishes eighth, and tells the BBC he's thinking about quitting the game altogether.

And underneath all of it - Oli Bearman's 50G crash, caused by a mushroom boost witnessed by the entire Mario Galaxy cast. One that may have finally forced the FIA's hand on the 2026 regulations. The prediction scorecard is settled - and it is not pretty for anyone.

All that plus Haas You Been Paying Attention and Verstappenin that covers five stories from the week that you need to know about - including a Formula E conspiracy theory, and twelve tonnes of F1-branded KitKat bars stolen somewhere between Italy and Poland.

Get all your latest F1 news and highlights, the idiotic way!

Konichiwa, Idiots.

We're heading to Suzuka - Honda's home circuit, one of the greatest tracks on the planet, and the venue where everything is about to get very interesting very fast.

This week Oli, Tay and Ev preview the Japanese Grand Prix with their usual blend of confidence, ignorance and misplaced certainty. We go through the paddock in various states of crisis - Aston Martin's Honda nightmare deepens, McLaren just need both cars to start, and Max Verstappen can't seem to win anything right now in any form of motorsport.

We also discuss Lewis Hamilton's Tokyo adventures, whether F1 will go crawling back to the Middle East for the money, and Lando Norris's imminent immortalisation in wax at Madame Tussauds.

Plus — Haas You Been Paying Attention returns. Japan edition. Eight questions. Tay is on zero points. Something has to give.

Tune in and give us some love! Please.

Four DNS. Three Idiots. Two Mercs. One Oscar. And a stack of other chaotic elements inbetween.

The Chinese Grand Prix had everything - a teenage winner, a returning legend, a four-time champion losing his mind, and a podium announcer who somehow summoned Kimi Räikkönen from retirement live on stage. Buckle up as F1 Get's Shanghai'd and your idiots cover it all off.

Mercedes printed the t-shirts before the race. Ferrari forgot to pit. Oscar Piastri got taken out on the recon lap by what we can only describe as the Australian curse wielding a shovel.

Also: let us get you ready for China this weekend and get you caught up to speed on all the goss including Toto vs Horner at Alpine; Bahrain and Saudi GP cancellation; BYD as F1's 12th team and so much more.

Digby is still not here. But we are. And you better be.

Race week is here, Digby isn't.

Melbourne's on, Aston Martin barely is.

The new era begins THIS WEEKEND - and nobody has a clue who wins.

Perfect.

#IdiotsOfF1 #F1 #F1news

The most intriguing and possibly most chaotic season in F1 history is upon us. And it deserves the most unqualified and often unhinged podcast in F1 history.

The Idiots are back!

Oli, Tay, Digby and Ev return for Season 4 - louder, wronger, and more convinced than ever that this is the greatest sport in the world.

Austria, never and we mean never, disappoints. Oscar and Lando's fight for the top is hotter than Carlos Sainz brake pads and Stroll is doing worse than ever. Max and Kimi collide but seemed awfully cool about it, right? We discuss the mental anguish and triumphs of Spielberg and look ahead to the wonderful F1 world of Silverstone. HYBPA and What's Verstappin as always, we will see you in the paddock.

As always please rate, review and tell your mates about the idiots!

You're probably wondering where we've been... well, it doesn't matter.

What does is that we are back. So stick that in your pipe and really enjoy it.

Join your Idiots - Ev and Digz - in the absence of Oli (again, dickhead) as they unpack everything missed last week. Japan GP download, Austin GP review, Cost Caps, Champs... lots of shit, but not shit.

So listen, review, enjoy and be ready for the reunion when we all back next week.

Yours in racing,

As always please rate, review and tell your mates about the idiots!
