The Fast and the Curious – Details, episodes & analysis

We're back! Betty Glover, Christian Hewgill and Greg James return with The Fast And The Curious and where else could we start the season than with the Formula 1 Constructors World Champions, McLaren!

We're at Silverstone behind the scenes as the team's 2025 car is driven for the first ever time. Lando Norris, talks about a potential world championship challenge, tells us what he thinks about people criticising him - and announces his retirement (he's joking, don't @ us).

And Oscar Piastri explains how he'll go toe to toe with Lando in a title fight, without it all getting quite awkward... There's also a truly momentous moment as takes on the prestigious challenge of answering our first question of the year.

In a special episode of The Fast and The Curious we visit the Red Bull factory.

As the F1 season heats up, we visit the Red Bull factory in Milton Keynes to see how the team stays at the top of their game. 

After bumping into Yuki Tsunoda, a look at the trophy room and a watch of pit-stop practice we hear from pit crew members Calum Nicolas, John Caller, and Sam Vincent about what it's like in the heat of the moment. 

They discuss how they all joined the team, what Max and Checo are like on race day, and most importantly who is in charge of the garage playlist.

Betty didn't plan on talking to any F1 drivers on her trip to New York, but when Logan Sargeant messaged for a catch-up and burger-tasting session she couldn't say no!

She meets up with Williams driver for chat about his season so far, how it feels to be back home in America for the Texas Grand Prix and if his dog will ever make an appearance in the paddock.

Bringing a close to a run of zero suspense whatsoever, Max Verstappen has won his third F1 title after a weekend of racing in Qatar. What better way to mark the occasion than with a round of Beat the Christian to name the other drivers who reached that milestone?

The team also discuss Mercedes' first lap madness, McLaren's continued success and what made Logan Sargeant (and plenty of other drivers) feel pretty rough during the race. And there's of course time to suss out the personalities behind various cars on the grid and pick the best European emergency services siren. You're welcome.

This week the team (minus Betty who is on other sporting duties) head to an industrial estate in east London for a day of karting. However, a lot of the other teams have taken the event far too seriously and are wearing their own kit and have enrolled professional drivers. With Team Principal Greg also out of action after putting his back out, it's a big day for Christian to prove himself on the track.

They're joined by a reserve driver who also loves talking about cars for a living on what he calls “the broadest church of automotive appreciation”, from finding classic cars in barns to the future of motoring; Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show (aka The Car Pervert).

With an actual F1 race this weekend there's also time to preview the Qatar Grand Prix, discuss the probability of a new team joining the grid and answer listener questions about the origins of Formula One and Red Bull's human barriers.

Greg, Betty and Christian take a look at all the action on and off the track at the Japanese Grand Prix.

From Red Bull clinching the constructers title and Oscar Piastri's first podium, to former world champion Sebastian Vettel's bee hives and listener Beth's race review there's a lot of ground to cover.

Christian goes through more listeners questions to explain undercutting and what the hell Sergio Perez was up to at the end of the race, plus Greg has a moan/ request about why tyres are so important despite being quite dull.
