With April being pretty slow for racing in 2026, we decided to back up our recent rants about the state of F1 by giving some examples of races that were great, perhaps even our favourites. The rules were simple, choose a race from the last 26 years (2000-present), give a brief rundown of the events, and what made that race great. It could be anything from a tense battle at the front, a driver rampaging through the field, overtakes galore, or perhaps a total precession - anything goes! Join us as we run through 3 of the best races of the modern era.

In this week's episode we discuss:

• Spain 2021: Lewis Hamilton vs Max Verstappen at the peak of their rivalry. A demonstration in tyre strategy and management.

• Germany 2013: Tyre-induced madness resulting in 2, 3, and 4 stop strategies that took an entire race to play out. Raikkonen hunts down Vettel for the win.

• Canada 2011: The longest race in F1 history, Jenson Button chases down Vettel in the dying stages of an insane race.

• April News: F1 and MotoGP news from the April break.
