About this episode

The episode reviews the thrilling 2026 Canadian Grand Prix, focusing on the intense competition and the rise of Kimi Antonelli.

Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah re-live the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix - the battle between the Mercedes duo, the legendary Antonelli-Hamilton-Verstappen podium, and of course, McLaren's "inters" choice as the race start tyre. Most of us watch Formula One for the battles, the crashes, and the moments that leave us gasping — and Kimi Antonelli just served up a whole lot of all three. The teenager’s fearless, daredevil driving at Canada’s GP had fans wondering: is he the new Goliath ready to take on the giant, or just a wild card rewriting the rulebook? In this episode, we break down how Antonelli’s gutsy moves are shaking up the sport — from outsmarting veteran racers to redefining what it means to be a champion. You'll discover how his unapologetic aggression mirrors legends like Lewis Hamilton and why 19-year-olds might just be Formula One's secret weapon. Plus, we tackle the controversial battle between youth and experience, including George Russell’s tough break and whether he’s still in the fight. 📌 Chapters: 00:00 - 11:39 - The Aftermath of the Canadian Grand Prix 11:39 - 23:18 - Kimi Antonelli's Rise and George Russell's Challenges 23:18 - 25:54 - The Battle of Champions…
