Description

We are back in the studio this week after Max Verstappen claimed the 2021 Formula One World Drivers' Championship in Abu Dhabi! After a complex and controversial year of Formula 1, I reflect back on the series of incidents throughout the season as well as the potential for 2022 to be even greater. Topics on this week's show include:

• Alpine academy driver Oscar Piastri takes the Formula 2 title in his rookie season and adds to an illustrious junior career
• A full recap and breakdown of all the action from the final Formula 1 weekend of 2021
• Wider analysis of the incentives in sports media and the potential for artificial outrage
• A look into the future as post-season and young driver tests get underway

As always, thank you very much for listening and feel free to get in touch with any topic/guest suggestions you'd like to see on the show. Merry Christmas and I'll be back after the winter break will all the headlines from around the motorsport world.
