Greeny and The Cheese are here to break down one of the tightest title fights in F1 history.

In this season finale, we cover: The Papaya Crowning: How Lando overcame the pressure (and a shaky start) to hold off a surging Red Bull.  The Oscar Piastri Defense: Did McLaren make the perfect strategic call, or did they get lucky? We analyze the "Wingman of the Year" performance. The End of an Era: We say emotional goodbyes to the Renault engine, the Sauber name (hello, Audi!), and potentially Yuki Tsunoda on the grid. Slap of the Week: From Alpine’s disastrous finish to Ferrari’s strategy woes, we hand out the final "L" of the season. Quiz Master’s Cockpit: The season-long bet is settled! Find out who took the crown in the battle of Greeny vs. The Cheese (and who lost 400 Greeny Bucks). Whether you’re team Papaya or team Red Bull, this is the debrief you need to close the book on 2025.
