    COTA GP Preview: Six Drivers Can Still Win the Title
    Oct 22 2026

    Spanners, Trumpets and Stuffeyy preview the United States Grand Prix at COTA.

    We do the increasingly ridiculous championship maths and discover that six drivers can still technically become World Champion, including a Lando Norris scenario requiring five wins and a third place.

    Plus:

    • Has Aston Martin already built a pole-position chassis?

    • Is Honda power hiding just how good the car is?

    • New cost-cap rules and James Vowles’ spending proposal

    • Christian Horner’s biggest book revelations

    • How much of Antonelli’s championship lead was built during Mercedes’ early-season dominance?

    • Listener reckons

    • Qualifying, race and wildcard predictions

    Oct 18 2026
    In a very special Behind the Barriers, Trumpets sits down with co-host and friend of the show Dr Campbell Waddell, CEO at TrackWalk and MD at R3Ltd, for a gripping conversation about how his PhD on motorsport surfaces wound up taking him to F1 circuits across the globe the past 20 years. From tyres and asphalt to what happens when an F1 driver hits you in the face with a door, no stone is left unturned as once again we sneak behind the barriers in this, the latest episode of Missed Apex Podcast!

  • Singapore F1 GP Race Review 2026

    Singapore F1 GP Race Review 2026
    Oct 11 2026
    Spanners and the team pick apart a Singapore Grand Prix that promised plenty but delivered rather less. We get into the lack of overtaking, the strategic stalemate, the incidents and stewarding, Max and GP somehow communicating without really communicating, and what the weekend tells us about the competitive order heading into the next round. Plus your listener reckons and Peter Shillcock takes Comment of the Week with perhaps the most accurate race review of all: “Thanks MAP terrible race, great podcast.”

  • Singapore Saturday: Hamilton’s Open Goals & the Sprint That Refused to Get Interesting

    Singapore Saturday: Hamilton’s Open Goals & the Sprint That Refused to Get Interesting
    Oct 10 2026

    Spanners reacts to a strange Saturday in Singapore, starting with a part-wet sprint that somehow still became processional. We get into Russell’s crash, Hamilton’s pace and aggressive restart, Norris and Piastri making contact, and a packed post-race stewards schedule. Then qualifying brings more twists: Aston Martin and Albon struggle, both Racing Bulls reach Q3, Hamilton looks rapid before wasting two big chances, Leclerc appears from nowhere, and Verstappen delivers again.
