This episode is sponsored by AWS - Global AI Partner of Formula 1

As Kimi Antonelli becomes the youngest F1 World Champion in history, Tom Clarkson and James Hinchcliffe review the Mexico City Grand Prix.

9th place would have been enough for Antonelli to take the title, but he fought his way to the podium. What does that say about his character? Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton lifted the new champion onto their shoulders on the rostrum. Could Kimi go on to challenge their incredible records?

Race-winner Verstappen showed all his speed and composure to take the victory. What was key to him taking the lead, and is the momentum with him ahead of 2027?

After the Ferraris went wheel-to-wheel, Lewis Hamilton wants 'serious talks'. TC and Hinch assess the situation at the Scuderia and ask what can be done to bring harmony between Hamilton and Leclerc?

How is George Russell feeling now his teammate is officially champion? Does his 2027 title challenge begin in Brazil next week?

Elsewhere there's praise for Liam Lawson after another points finish and we hail Haas stand-in Ryo Hirakawa for a scoring a point on his Grand Prix debut.
