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?

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.

With Greg and Christian away (an HR oversight from the Team Principal) Betty was almost left to present the podcast solo. That was until the first ever Fast and The Curious reserve driver stepped up to the plate.

Gemma pitched the idea of listeners helping out and co-hosting during our F1 Fone-In back in May, so Greg gave her the call up. Her and Betty discuss all things Canadian GP, Le Mans 24-hour race, news from the F1 Academy and of course Toto Wolff impressions.

Having previously promised to read Guenther Steiner's book cover-to-cover Gemma delivers her review, which gives Betty the perfect chance to make a big announcement about The Fast and The Curious' plans at Silverstone.

There's also time for Betty to check in with Anne in Vancouver who is heading to this week's Grand Prix for a chat about Canadian wildlife, weather and food. They squeeze in a few predictions before the end of the show, too.

The double World Champion and current championship leader has added his name to the list of Fast and Curious co-hosts.

Max Verstappen joins Betty and Christian from Monaco to look back at his journey to the pinnacle of Formula One and what keeps him motivated to stay at the top.

Betty and Christian are off to McLaren HQ for a chat with CEO Zak Brown. With so many listeners getting in touch with questions about how F1 could be more environmentally friendly and McLaren launching a sustainability report, it felt as good a time as any to find out if the sport can really go green.

Of course there's also room for a tour of the McLaren site (including a look at one at where they actually build F1 cars) and the team finding out if Lando Norris has to let the boss win when they play golf.

And to top off the episode, Greg joins Betty and Christian for a debrief as well as a look ahead to Monaco a a HUGE co-host announcement.
