    Episode 165 - F1 2026 Spanish Grand Prix

    Summary  Teeks reviews the inaugural 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid’s Mad Ring, from the circuit’s limited overtaking to Kimi Antonelli’s dominant victory. He also covers Ferrari’s inconsistency, Lando Norris’s costly pit-stop misfortune, Red Bull’s driver changes, and whether George Russell can still challenge for the title.  In this episode:  Why the new Mad Ring circuit produced a largely processional race despite concerns about crashes and chaos.  Ferrari’s latest power-unit upgrade was left unused by Charles Leclerc after checks raised concerns about possible damage from his Monza crash.  Sergio Perez received two pit-lane speeding fines totaling €1,700 after being clocked at 86.7 km/h and 96.7 km/h.  Charles Leclerc accepted responsibility for forcing Lewis Hamilton off track at Monza and said the incident had not damaged their relationship.  Isaac Hadjar missed his third consecutive Grand Prix while recovering from a wrist fracture, with Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda continuing as substitutes.  Robin Räikkönen, son of 2007 world champion Kimi Räikkönen, joined the Red Bull junior program after building experience in European karting.  Williams unveiled a one-off livery inspired by its 1981 Constructors’ Championship-winning car.  Norris took pole but lost the lead after a poorly timed Virtual Safety Car and a slow pit stop, eventually finishing third.  Antonelli converted second on the grid into victory, earning his eighth career win and extending his championship advantage over George Russell to 81 points.  Teeks names Antonelli Driver of the Day and assesses Russell’s chances of overcoming the deficit with nine races remaining.  Timestamps:  00:00 - Welcome to the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix review 01:54 - Ferrari’s difficult weekend in Monza sets the context 02:24 - Why F3’s Mad Ring crashes did not necessarily predict F1 chaos 04:21 - Leclerc loses access to Ferrari’s latest power unit 06:16 - Ferrari’s lack of consistency compared with Mercedes 07:13 - Perez receives two Cadillac pit-lane speeding fines 09:40 - Leclerc apologizes for the Hamilton incident at Monza 13:00 - Ferrari’s need for clearer teammate racing rules 14:22 - Hadjar misses another race with a wrist injury 17:40 - Robin Räikkönen joins Red Bull’s junior team 21:30 - Williams reveals its 1981-inspired Madrid livery 24:47 - Concerns over the FIA president’s comments about Alonso 26:13 - Qualifying begins on the new Mad Ring 27:36 - Both Spanish drivers fail to reach Q2 29:51 - Antonelli’s extreme approach to track limits 32:14 - Norris takes pole by just 0.01 seconds 35:52 - The opening-lap battle between Norris, Antonelli, Hamilton, and Verstappen 38:16 - Verstappen is ordered to give back two positions 39:43 - Hamilton suffers brake problems and retires 40:37 - Alonso and Sainz make contact at the main overtaking zone 41:06 - Stroll’s brake failure triggers the Virtual Safety Car 42:04 - Norris loses the lead through bad VSC timing and a slow stop 43:03 - The race settles into a long procession 44:13 - Leclerc finally pits after leading on a one-stop strategy 44:41 - Antonelli wins the first Mad Ring Grand Prix 45:09 - The finishing order and Antonelli’s 81-point advantage 48:04 - Was Madrid’s second Spanish race necessary? 50:25 - Teeks chooses Antonelli as Driver of the Day 51:24 - Can Russell overturn the championship deficit? 53:20 - The next race is the Saturday Azerbaijan Grand Prix    Important information  If you enjoy our podcast and what we do here, please consider giving us a like and follow on your podcast platform of choice.

    Episode 164 - £10,000 Used Car Challenge Part 1

    Summary  Teeks and Riri put a £10,000 used-car budget through its paces across electric and diesel body styles. They compare value, performance, mileage, range, practicality, reliability concerns, and the strange bargains appearing on the used market, with the challenge ending in a narrow 26-24 score and a promised petrol, hybrid, and alternative-fuel sequel.  In this episode:  Riri sets the rules: every car must run, cost less than £10,000, and avoid Category C, D, and S write-offs. Cars under 60,000 miles earn a bonus point.  The EV challenge begins with hatchbacks, including the £9,695 Dacia Spring and a £9,500 Vauxhall Corsa Electric. Riri’s 2019 BMW i3 wins the performance round with a 6.9-second 0-60 time.  Electric saloons prove extremely difficult to find under budget. Riri finds a 2019 Tesla Model 3, but it has 150,000 miles and raises questions about battery degradation.  The MG5 dominates the electric estate category. Teeks chooses an £8,690 2021 MG5, while Riri finds a longer-range 2022 version for £9,990.  A £8,995 Jaguar I-Pace gives Teeks a major comeback in the electric SUV performance round, delivering 395 bhp, 696 Nm of torque, and a 4.5-second 0-60 time.  The electric MPV and convertible rounds reveal how limited the market is, although Teeks finds a 2023 Citroën ë-Berlingo and a low-mileage Smart Fortwo Cabriolet.  Diesel hatchbacks offer far more choice. Riri picks a £6,990 Hyundai i30 with 44,000 miles, while Teeks selects a £10,000 2018 BMW 120d Sport for performance.  Diesel estates deliver practical bargains, including the Ford Focus Estate and Škoda Octavia. Riri wins the category with a newer, lower-mileage Octavia.  The diesel SUV performance round produces the episode’s most outrageous car: a Porsche Cayenne S Diesel with a twin-turbo 4.2-litre V8, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and 150,000 miles.  Timestamps  00:00 - The £10,000 used-car challenge begins  01:03 - Why new and used car prices are so high  02:14 - Challenge rules, mileage bonuses, and no write-offs  03:49 - Why alternative fuels are included  04:48 - Searching for the best-value electric hatchback  07:57 - The £9,695 Dacia Spring  09:27 - EV range, home charging, and real-world usability  10:19 - Riri’s £9,500 Vauxhall Corsa Electric  13:10 - Finding the fastest electric hatchback  15:13 - The BMW i3 wins the performance round  16:30 - Why electric saloons are nearly impossible to find  18:46 - A £9,485 Tesla Model 3 with 150,000 miles  20:17 - Battery degradation and EV range loss  21:18 - Electric estates and the MG5 problem  24:15 - The £8,690 MG5 value pick  25:17 - A longer-range MG5 for £9,990  29:01 - Electric coupes and the Smart Fortwo  31:39 - The Smart Fortwo earns double points  33:27 - Mazda MX-30 range concerns  34:12 - The DS 3 beats the Mazda on range  36:28 - Jaguar I-Pace performance for under £10,000  38:12 - Why electric MPVs and convertibles are rare  40:39 - The Citroën ë-Berlingo versus Nissan e-NV200  42:42 - Electric convertibles and the Smart Fortwo Cabriolet  44:21 - Switching from EVs to diesel  47:29 - Hyundai i30 versus Volkswagen Polo  49:04 - The diesel hatchback score  51:16 - BMW 120d performance under £10,000  53:51 - Diesel saloons and the Mazda 6  56:36 - Why the Kia Optima looks like the sensible choice  58:41 - BMW versus Jaguar diesel performance  60:50 - Diesel estates: Ford Focus versus Škoda Octavia  62:49 - Comparing price, age, and mileage  Important information  If you enjoy our podcast and what we do here, please consider giving us a like and follow on your podcast platform of choice.
