Grand Pricks is officially BACK, and just in time. The 2025 Formula 1 Driver’s Championship has reached a boiling point, and everything comes down to the final race in Abu Dhabi. With Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri all still in the fight, we break down exactly what each driver needs to do to become World Champion on Sunday.

After a three-week break (yes, we tried to record on holiday… terrible Wi-Fi + zero editing software = disaster), we’re finally home and ready to dive into the biggest title decider in years. In this episode, we analyse the maths behind the championship battle: who needs to finish where, what results open the door for rivals, and why this could genuinely go to any of the top three, even with Norris leading the standings.

We also revisit the key moments that shaped the championship: DNFs, painfully slow pit stops, questionable strategy calls, and those tiny details that made huge differences for Norris, Verstappen, and Piastri throughout the season.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Grand Pricks without the off-track chaos. We unpack the latest rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding McLaren and Ferrari, Yuki Tsunoda’s shock drop from Red Bull ahead of 2026, Isack Hadjar’s promotion, and everything else lighting up the paddock right now.

We’ve missed you, and we’re not going anywhere. We’ll be back with a full Abu Dhabi race debrief, plus postseason content (including Reem’s final-year exam saga and a special surprise). Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss a thing!
