Why Ferrari Should Have OVERRULED Lewis Hamilton & Jake Goes MISSING! (E26)

Jake's gone AWOL, so Rob and Otmar are running the show on their own this week. What could possibly go wrong?! Jake phones in from Orlando, where he says he's getting ready to interview Tom Brady (the guys aren't convinced, and reckon he's in a Norfolk Travelodge). Then Rob and Otmar take charge of the Singapore GP reaction. Max Verstappen took the Singapore double, winning both the Sprint and the Grand Prix, and the guys ask whether he really had the best car. Rob takes them into the Engineering Dark Web to show where Leclerc lost pole and why Ferrari might have let a race win slip away. They also look at Lewis's decision not to pit under the virtual safety car, and Rob explains when a team has to overrule its driver. They also go through a chaotic Sprint, from George binning it while leading to Lando's last-lap lunge on Oscar, and Otmar explains how driver contracts can encourage moves like that. Then there's the FIA's "human error" with power modes in qualifying, and why Otmar would have sent everyone through to Q2. Plus, a parcel of Senna socks from a listener, a Bullshit Corner where Rob is meant to argue against everything and agrees with every point, the story behind Otmar's "nine women, one month" line, your book titles and dad jokes, and the guys' reaction to an exclusive clip from Christian Horner's High Performance interview.

F1’s Software FARCE & Rob Reveals Why Red Bull Are NOW So FAST (E25)

The best drivers in the world were ready to race in Malaysia. Then a software glitch got in the way. Jake, Rob and Otmar ask how F1 can call itself the pinnacle of motorsport when an untested software failure can stop drivers from doing their jobs, and why fans deserve to know what’s happening when things go wrong. The guys also debate Kimi Antonelli’s 84-point lead, George Russell’s terrible luck, and whether there’s any way back. Rob explains why Red Bull’s latest upgrade could make them a threat everywhere, while Otmar and Rob tackle Ferrari’s latest strategy mess and why Lewis Hamilton was right to ignore the team and trust his instincts. Plus, Otmar defends Esteban Ocon’s F1 career, while the guys debate whether Williams really are victims of the cost cap, or simply not making enough of what they have.

Are We Part of the ‘Optimisation Podcast’ Problem?

After hundreds of conversations with extraordinary people, Jake and Damian stop and ask a question they've been circling for a while prompted by a recent social media post from Rob Beckett: how has High Performance changed since it started and are we part of the 'grindset' problem? When the show began, they were fascinated by winning: routine, sacrifice, discipline, marginal gains. Jake once wrote a post about getting up at 5am that he now calls one of his biggest regrets. In this episode they play back their own early conversations, including Jake's advice to Steven Bartlett and Ant Middleton's definition of high performance from the show's second episode, and ask what they'd still stand by and what they've changed their minds about. The shift started with Jonny Wilkinson, who told Jake that suffering doesn't lead you to joy. It just builds stronger habits of suffering. From there they get into the difference between high standards and grind culture, what the Special Forces told them about never feeling like they'd done enough, and whether the people who change the world are driven by obsessive or harmonious passion (they don't fully agree). Mark Manson and Jimmy Carr help them land it. As Jake puts it: high standards ask something of you. Grind culture asks everything of you. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, or whether "enough" is even the right question, this one's for you.

How a Clothing Brand Dominated F1's Greatest Teams: Alessandro Benetton (E442)

Alessandro Benetton knows what it means to challenge an established order. When the Benetton family entered Formula 1 from the world of fashion, the paddock laughed. But rather than trying to fit in, they rewrote the rules, and went on to win world championships. Alessandro joins us to reflect on the decisions that changed everything, from recognising Michael Schumacher’s extraordinary talent before the rest of the sport caught on to standing by his team when allegations of cheating threatened the family’s reputation. He shares why backing your instincts, challenging convention and trusting the people around you can matter most when the pressure is on. This is an insight into the advantage of being an outsider, the courage to make unconventional decisions, and why sometimes the best way to get ahead is to stop following the crowd. Alessandro Benetton Bio: Alessandro Benetton is Chairman of Edizione and Mundys, and the founder of 21 Invest. He began his career in Formula 1, taking over the Benetton team at just 24 and becoming the youngest chairman in F1 history. Under his leadership, the team won two drivers’ championships with Michael Schumacher and the 1995 constructors’ title.

What GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs Do to Your Running Performance | Extra Mile

If you lose 5kg, does that make you a better runner? Not necessarily. Spencer Matthews and Oli Patrick unpack why what you lose matters more than how much, and why dropping body weight doesn't automatically translate into better performance. For runners, trying to get lighter while trying to get faster can mean chasing two competing goals. From losing muscle and under-fuelling to the rise of GLP-1 drugs, this episode asks a more important question: are you losing weight, or are you losing what you need to run well?

Dr Chris van Tulleken: The Food Industry Wants to Buy My Silence

Dr Chris van Tulleken is a doctor, scientist and one of the UK’s leading voices on ultra-processed food. An associate professor at UCL, an NHS doctor, World Health Organisation adviser and author of the bestselling Ultra-Processed People, he has spent years investigating what the food industry is really putting on our plates. But the truth about what we eat is far more unsettling than most of us realise... In this eye-opening conversation, we revisit why Chris believes the evidence linking ultra-processed food to physical and mental health problems has reached the same threshold we once reached with tobacco. He reveals how the world’s biggest tobacco companies helped shape the modern diet, how food is engineered and tested to make us eat more and eat faster, and what certain additives may be doing to our gut, our mood and our brains. He shares what happened when he spent a month eating an 80% ultra-processed diet, why so many people are living in “food swamps”, and the eye-watering sums of money that he has turned down from fast food companies to protect his integrity. Chris also sets out the two changes he believes could transform our food system: clear warning labels on unhealthy food and a government nutrition committee free from industry money. This is a conversation about agency, justice and taking back control, and a powerful reminder that if you struggle with this food, it’s not your fault.

The 5 Things High Performers NEVER Say

We've sat down with hundreds of high performers. These are five sentences we've never heard a single one of them say... "I'll start when I'm ready." "That's just the way I am." "It's not fair." "I've done enough." "I did it on my own." None of them is a character flaw, but each one quietly pulls you away from where you want to be. From the High Performance archive, Keely Hodgkinson explains why she puts her success down to 90% mindset, in a year when almost nobody believed she'd make the Olympic team. Matthew Syed remembers bombing a talk at Goldman Sachs and then going to Toastmasters every fortnight for three years. Joe Hart talks about England's Euro 2016 exit to Iceland without blaming a soul. Alun Wyn Jones explains why complacency was his biggest fear, and Laura Kenny shows why her story was never a solo effort, starting with setting fire to a jacket potato in Belgium at 18. Along the way, Damian brings in the research on "if-then" plans that help you follow through, the labels we let others stick on us, why growth mindset might matter less than we've been told, and the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion. Jake questions whether never having "done enough" is healthy at all, and explains why the people who made your life hardest helped shape you too.

Robin van Persie captained Arsenal and won the league with Manchester United, but for years he says his hardest opponent was himself. We re-visit our classic episode with Robin where he talks about the letter he wrote to himself that he didn't believe when he read it back, the childhood friends he let go at 24, the Arsenal exit he'd handle differently and the advice to his son that Jake calls the whole podcast in two minutes.

Russell UNTOUCHABLE, Max Wants Hadjar’s Upgrade & Aston SLOWER Than F2 (E24)

Baku belonged to George Russell. He took pole, fastest lap and the win, and led every lap for the first Grand Slam of his career. Otmar tells the guys about the rather unusual gift he showed George after qualifying. Rob explains why one crash on a street circuit can knock a driver's confidence for the rest of the weekend. And the guys do the maths on whether George can still catch Kimi. The answer isn't what you'd expect. Otmar also tells the story of the Instagram post from Malaysia that nearly got Checo Pérez a five-year ban. We hear about the steering change that made Max say "I want that". And the Engineering Dark Web returns with the seventh-gear trick that won Mercedes Baku. Plus, Lando, Colapinto and the ugly side of F1 fandom, a proper A-list Bullshit Corner nomination from Richard Hammond, Jake's Brad Pitt Zoom disaster, and a phone call with the man behind bscorner.com. The guys are also offering to send a family to the British Grand Prix next year, so get in touch if you'd like to be considered. A huge thank you to Rebecca Gerber at THB Swag for our brilliant High Performance Racing tumblers, and to Walter for building bscorner.com. Go and give it some love.
