Show Notes
It’s a busy show as Betty and Christian react to the breaking news that Adrian Newey will be Aston Martin’s team principal next season. So it’s a good week to speaking to an Aston driver! Jak Crawford, the team’s reserve next season and current runner-up in the F2 standings is here. So is Esteban Ocon’s race engineer Laura Mueller who exclusively tells us her favourite way to kill someone on Assassin’s Creed, obviously.
And we should talk about the title battle too shouldn’t we? Is Oscar still in? And how worried should Lando be about Max?

Four-time World Champion Max Verstappen joins Betty ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. He reveals whether Isack Hadjar has asked for a ride on his private jet yet, if he has a preference out of dogs and cats and how it feels being the most recent winner of a Formula 1 race in Malaysia.
Christian is joined by Molly Hudson from The Times to react to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
We have another new driver on the show! Betty speaks to Cadillac’s Valtteri Bottas for his first appearance on The Fast And The Curious. He tells her how he has found the experience of helping build the Cadillac team from scratch, which driver from the grid he would most like to sauna with, and plenty more!...including a slightly concerning thought that occured under a safety car.
