From Lando pulling off a champion's drive to bring home back-to-back wins, Max binning it, Hulkenburg pulling off a move for the ages, and a team orders double-header that had both the Mercedes AND Ferrari garages ab...

Happy summer break everyone - we hope you are all coping with the severe lack of cars on track.

To keep us all entertained we thought it would be fun to look back on the 2026 season so far. With the expected Mercedes dominance with the unexpected driver, reliability causing issues all over the grid as everyone works out the new regulations and the various winners and losers up and down the paddock, it really has been one to watch.

So join us as we...

Welcome to Episode 60 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Welcome to Episode 59 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

And just like that Monaco has produced a chaotic race! Kimi's championship charge continues and what goes around still hasn't come around for George as he slips to P3 in the drivers. But aside from the WDC drama, the pit lane speed camera took matters into it's own hands for chaos and was dishing out penalties left and right.

Unfortunately it was not all fun and games as we saw some great highs but some bad lows as the Monaco curse seems to be back for...

Welcome to Episode 58 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

What an absolute BANGER of a race the Canadian Grand Prix was! Between the wheel-to-wheel racing, George crashing out literally and Kimi crashing out emotionally, and Toto likely having 2016 flashbacks, there was a lot going on in the Mercedes garage.

On the home stretch of the F1 break and it is finally time to put pen to paper with our 2026 predictions!

To help us decide we discuss the key points from ALL of testing and ponder the multitude of questions it raised going into the new season.

First of all, we’re back in the same ROOM! After what feels like forever the girls are BACK in the same room and it’s like we never left!

It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 months, 24 races, and 6 sprints since we sat down and made our 2025 predictions… but all that racing later… and it’s time to reflect on how well we REALLY know Formula 1…

We certainly had some hits and we DEFINITELY had some misses, but join us...

Welcome to Episode 49 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Well after a season of twists and turns, we FINALLY have our newly crowned champion… But for a race that was supposed to be a showdown for the history… it wasn’t quite what we all hoped it would be.

What on earth were Mclaren THINKING!

The Qatar Grand Prix weekend was heading straight for being a snooze fest until Mclaren performed what could be the blunder of the season on lap 7, ultimately handing the race win to Max Verstappen.

Join us to try and work out why the team decided to ruin Oscar Piastri's return to form weekend and hype up a mouthwatering championship decider next weekend in Abu Dhabi... who will we be crowing drivers champion in next weeks episode?

Welcome to Episode 47 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Well, Max crossed the line and we THOUGHT that that the most exciting things to discuss from the Vegas Grand Prix would be getting full wet tyres out in the desert and Terry Crews reprising one of his most beloved roles… but McLaren had other plans…

Welcome to Episode 45 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Well, after almost 200 days at the top, our beloved Aussie has slipped just one point behind Lando Norris, and we officially have a new championship leader once again!

But on track, the drama was just as heavy as the Mexican Grand Prix delivered so many twists and turns from start to finish. Between the chaotic race start, Lewis and Max reliving 2021 at times, George crashing out (emotionally, not actually) and Ollie Bearman having the race of his career so far… there was plen...

Welcome to Episode 44 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Max Verstappen’s championship campaign is REAL!!!

The action in Austin did not disappoint - from the on track action of turn 1 in the sprint setting Mclaren up to be chasing all weekend, it really was a dream scenario for Max and Red Bull, and with Oscar still not finding form he saw another huge chunk of points out of the championship lead.

So, join us as we unpack the ups and downs of the weekend like the Mclaren double DNF, Ferrari’s surprising come...

Welcome to Episode 43 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

So, join us as we unpack the ups and downs of...

Welcome to Episode 41 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Good racing quickly turned into a snooze fest in the Monza and we were almost left with not much to talk about... until Mclaren decided to bring back the dreaded Papaya Rules, yikes.

Welcome to Episode 39 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

While F1 teams and drivers relax on their super yachts and the fans sit and wait for cars to be back on track, we thought we'd take some time to have a mid season check in and ask YOU guys for some of your hot takes on the action that has unfolded so far this season. Is there favouritism at Mclaren? What did Max and Toto discuss in Sardinia? Is Lance Stroll over hated? Who will be rookie of the year?

So join us as we...

Welcome to Episode 38 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Welcome to Episode 36 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

It seems Silverstone has once again delivered us a magical weekend… Between Lando’s home win and NICO’S FIRST PODIUM, that was maybe some of the most heartwarming post-race celebrations we’ve ever seen…

But, it certainly wasn’t without chaos and controversy both on and off the track. Between Oscar’s penalty debate, keeping track of all the safety cars and tyre changes, and the rumours about Max’s future at Red Bull, there was SO much to discuss.

Welcome to Episode 34 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

So it finally happened... much to the horror of Eve and the delight of Ish, we finally saw some wheel to wheel action between the championship contending McLarens and it did not disappoint.

While a lot of the race was a bit of a DRS train convoy, there was still PLENTY to discuss in our first episode from opposite sides of the world - from teammate collisions reminiscent of the past, to first podiums and unfortunate groundhogs, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve truly never disappoints.

Welcome to Episode 32 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Well… that was… underwhelming…

After all the hype and speculation that the mandatory 2-stop had set the stage for Monaco to deliver a banger… It… didn’t. That being said, there was PLENTY to discuss about almost everything else EXCEPT the actual race. 

So join us as we discuss the glitz and glam of Monaco… From Lando’s return to the top step, to teammate shenanigans, Ferrari finding some form, and cars in the wall left, right and centre.

An absolute Bahrain Banger! What a race we had this weekend… It kept us guessing right until then end!

Things really went so right for some drivers in Sakhir and so wrong for others. With different strategies, great overtakes, and some… interesting FIA decisions, there was so much to unpack.

Unfortunately, Ish’s mic, much like most of the technology in the paddock over the weekend, was experiencing some technical difficulties from about 5 minutes in until about the 27 min mark...

Welcome to Episode 27 of Lights Out with Ish & Eve

Well… that was one of the races of all time…

Unfortunately, while we were expecting an exciting race with Max and Lando lining up on the front row and Yuki and Liam sharing a row, each with something to prove, and some possible rain on the forecast, we were gearing up for a banger… and it sadly didn’t really deliver.

That being said, we still found plenty to talk about, so join us as we unpack everything from Jack D...
