We're finally BACK from fake summer break and diving headfirst into Spa — but not before grilling the F1 calendar, Alpine's cursed pizza recipe, and Max Verstappen’s precarious Mercedes situation.

In this episode:
- Why F1’s summer schedule makes less sense than Logan Sargeant’s career arc

- The great “Kimi Antonelli = Pepperoni?” debate

- Is Max scared to switch teams… or just stalling like he's booking a haircut?

- Viewer call-ins from Twitch streamers, literal racers, and Spa truthers

- Spa predictions, smash-or-pass GridRival picks, and who’s got main character energy this week

Bonus chaos:
- Oscar Piastri is HIM

- Cars 2 is cinema

- Zane drinks fennel tea, not beer (send help)

- Someone finally asks the real question: Where should Valtteri Bottas go to be weird in peace?
