After one of the most eventful weekends in F1 for a long time, we discuss why there was so much confusion around the rules, enormous safety failings and the lessons the FIA has failed to learn, the budget cap results and what the penalties might be, more driver moves, and unfairly lost among all of it, a second world championship for Verstappen after one of his most impressive drives to date.

After Mercedes came the closest they have all season to winning a Grand Prix, this week we look at their strategy calls and ask if they're making the same old mistakes, wonder if there was a version of the race Verstappen didn't go on to win, try to work out how Ferrari made a mess of things this time and try to work out what on earth was going on at Alpha Tauri (spoilers, it wasn't some grand conspiracy). Plus, the exciting conclusion to the Oscar Piastri contract saga, is there a path to F1 for Colton Herta, a look ahead to Monza and your questions from the inbox!
