Japan delivered a lot... but was it the racing we all wanted?
Kimi Antonelli becomes the youngest championship leader in F1 history and can't legally drink his own champagne to celebrate. Oscar Piastri finally starts a race in 2026 and nearly wins it. George Russell pits one lap before a Safety Car and loses his mind on the radio. Max Verstappen spends the race staring at Pierre Gasly's ass, finishes eighth, and tells the BBC he's thinking about quitting the game altogether.
And underneath all of it - Oli Bearman's 50G crash, caused by a mushroom boost witnessed by the entire Mario Galaxy cast. One that may have finally forced the FIA's hand on the 2026 regulations. The prediction scorecard is settled - and it is not pretty for anyone.
All that plus Haas You Been Paying Attention and Verstappenin that covers five stories from the week that you need to know about - including a Formula E conspiracy theory, and twelve tonnes of F1-branded KitKat bars stolen somewhere between Italy and Poland.
Get all your latest F1 news and highlights, the idiotic way!
