Missed Apex Formula 1 Podcast

F1 returns to Sepang for the unusual Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, and Jonathan Simon and Matt Trumpets break down everything that could make the weekend unpredictable. They look at the extreme heat, possible thunderstorms, abrasive and ageing track surface, tyre degradation and why Sepang could expose very different strengths across the grid.There’s also a look at Mercedes’ major upgrade package, Ferrari’s straight-line speed concerns and the mounting speculation around Fred Vasseur and Christian Horner. The pair discuss the fallout from Lando Norris and Franco Colapinto’s latest clash before turning to the driver market, where Esteban Ocon’s Haas exit raises questions about his route back onto the F1 grid and the likely arrival of Rafael Câmara alongside Ollie Bearman.Plus, plenty of nostalgia for one of Formula One’s best-loved circuits and some classic Malaysian Grand Prix moments.

Spanners is joined by Kristian and Alex to review a strange Azerbaijan Grand Prix. George Russell looked in complete control at the front, while Verstappen and Hadjar produced an increasingly awkward Red Bull team dynamic. We dig into McLaren’s lack of pace, Piastri throwing away a potential podium, Ferrari’s straight-line struggles, Lindblad and Lawson’s clash, the chaotic safety-car restart and a final-lap dash that suddenly brought the race back to life.

Spanners and the Missed Apex crew review a dramatic first Spanish Grand Prix at Madring. We get into the VSC strategy swings, Norris’ costly timing, Verstappen’s track-limit controversies, Antonelli’s fortune and pace, Ferrari’s mixed afternoon, and whether this circuit actually produced a good race after all.
