Sound the alarm and hide the microphones — it’s a special edition of The Monkey Seat!

For only the second time ever, Tom and Karl are in the same room… and, miraculously, the world hasn’t imploded (yet). To make things even more unpredictable, Karl’s son Killian joins the chaos — proving once and for all that bad opinions might just be hereditary.

This isn’t your usual race review — no tyre talk, no lap times, no analysis (not that there ever is). Instead, the lads are blowing up the F1 driver market and rebuilding it their way. The only rule? No one stays where they are. Expect questionable swaps, outrageous justifications, and enough driver reshuffling to make silly season look sensible.

It’s an episode full of laughter, bickering, and family-friendly anarchy — three voices, zero structure, and absolutely no chance of agreement. Basically, the most Monkey Seat thing ever.

If you want serious motorsport discussion, go find Grid Talk. But if you want three generations of chaos theory disguised as a podcast, you’ve come to the right grid box.
