Max Verstappen finally conquers Singapore at the 10th attempt, but the biggest F1 talking point might be Ferrari once again letting a potential winning strategy slip away with Lewis Hamilton. We break down the Norris–Piastri clash, why the track appeared to fall away late in qualifying, Ferrari’s tyre call, and how Verstappen controlled the race under the Marina Bay lights.

Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli quietly grabs another podium and stretches his championship lead to a massive 102 points, putting himself within touching distance of the Formula 1 world title heading to Austin. With Red Bull suddenly winning back-to-back races and Ferrari still struggling to convert opportunities, the final stretch of the sports season is getting very interesting.

This week on Movie of the Week, we’re diving into Broken Arrow, a gloriously over-the-top 1996 action movie that absolutely lives and dies on one thing: John Travolta having the time of his life as the villain. Christian Slater brings the old-school ’90s charm, John Woo throws in trains, helicopters, nuclear weapons and enough explosions to flatten a small country, while Hans Zimmer gives the whole thing a fantastic Western-style edge.

We also get into the behind-the-scenes trivia, the huge amount of stunt work, the intense physical preparation and why Travolta’s funny, cool and completely unhinged performance lifts the entire film. It’s not one of the greatest movies ever made, and some of it is pure action-movie nonsense, but as big, ridiculous popcorn comedy and entertainment goes, it’s very hard to switch off.

The F1 championship heads under the lights in Singapore, with Kimi Antonelli sitting on a huge 84-point lead — but Mercedes now have a major decision to make over an upgrade package that appeared to punish their tyres in Malaysia. We also look at Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin finally finding something positive, plus Alex Albon’s fascinating insight into the far less glamorous side of life as a Formula 1 driver: constant travel, training, hotel rooms and living out of a suitcase.

With Verstappen coming off a victory, Mercedes facing a crucial one-practice Sprint weekend and Singapore ready to punish the smallest mistake, this could be one of the most revealing sports weekends of the season.
