From Ferrari's all-conquering superteam years to the rise of a new generation of stars, the panel discusses the drivers who shaped the decade — including the sport's greatest legends like Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso, plus a look at those who narrowly missed out.

The 2026 British Grand Prix delivered one of the most talked-about weekends of the Formula 1 season, with strategy debates, late-race drama, and a shock resurgence from Ferrari emerging as the defining story from Silverstone.

In this post-race analysis, Jake Boaxall-Legge joins Kevin Turner to break down all the key talking points from a chaotic Sunday in Formula 1 at the 2026 British Grand Prix. At the centre of the championship narrative is Andrea Kimi Antonelli, whose title charge suffered another setback amid growing pressure and a difficult weekend that raises serious questions about momentum in the 2026 season.

Meanwhile, Ferrari emerged as the surprise standout performers, capitalising on a strong strategy execution and race pace to take a significant step forward in the Constructors’ battle.

The discussion also dives deep into the late-race Safety Car controversy — specifically why it was not withdrawn on the final lap — a decision that left fans and teams debating the interpretation of the regulations and race control protocols.

From winners and losers to championship implications, we unpack everything that mattered from a pivotal round of the Formula 1 season.

Join us as we break down all the action, strategy calls, and controversy from Silverstone.

The 1990s were a monumental, transitional decade for Formula 1. The stars at the beginning of the decade were virtually all gone by its end, and the tragic weekend at Imola in 1994 led to significant rule changes that forever altered the sport. In this episode, Kevin Turner is joined by Autosport journalist Stuart Codling and ex-F1 driver and Sky F1 pundit Karun Chandhok to debate, select, and rank the definitive top 10 F1 drivers of the 1990s. To build the list, the panel evaluates each driver strictly on their performance within the decade. The criteria? Their level of success, the machinery at their disposal, their longevity, and how highly they were rated by their contemporaries. Who takes the ultimate crown? Does the top spot go to Senna, Schumacher, Prost, or Hakkinen? Hit play to find out where the legends landed, and let us know your personal Top 10 in the comments!
