The Least Canadian Race Ever 31:53

15d ago31:53

31:53

Montreal did not disappoint! This was anyone's race and the most action per second we've seen since... 2021?! Did Red Bull win the race or did McLaren / Mercedes lose it? Which is to say, welcome back Mercedes! We relished the great equalizer - rain - and break down the winners and losers of the Canadian GP. Throughout, we cover silly season update…

Charles's Fairy Tale Moment in Monaco 27:20

28d ago27:20

27:20

The Monaco curse has been broken! Charles drove the "parade" of a race all the way to the top step with an incredibly emotional last couple of laps. Yes, we are gushing, but that was the goosebumps-heartstrings-feel good moment F1 needed. Thankfully, Monaco delivered a little drama, even if it was all packed into a single lap. Yes, we're talking ab…

Lando's coming of age & rumor-palooza 32:17

2M ago32:17

32:17

Miami was actually about the racing! Homeboy Logan delivered the safety car needed to spice things up and Lando brought home his maiden win! There were tears, F-bombs and lots of Zak Brown fist pumps. We talk through the race but quickly dive into the hot mess happening off the grid -- silly season has exploded into a mega rumor mill. Was this Ric'…

Sainz + Audi? Alonso in F1 for life? Silly season with a side of the China GP 34:23

2M ago34:23

34:23

China is back on the calendar and everyone got caught in the sprint race by the paint, the rain and the new-ish track. Bridgette channels her inner Cersei Lannister as she decides "I choose violence" as we break down the Ferrari drama, Alonso's wiley moves and Lando's fall & redemption. Hard to miss poor Danny Ric though. From Liam inching all the …

Williams's Sophie's Choice and Sainz's Hero Journey down under 33:21

3M ago33:21

33:21

Australia delivered again! The controversy started in FP with James Vowles's unprecedented Sophie's choice (cue his ChatGPT response). What should he have done? What does it mean for both sides of the Williams garage? And will someone please let us turn on some macros for this master spreadsheet already! From surgery to top step, Sainz is driving l…

Rotten cores and rumor mills in Saudi Arabia 29:24

4M ago29:24

29:24

Young Ollie Bearman wins "Most likely to succeed" at Saudi, only to be rivaled by KMag's double penalty team game. We talk about the second race of the season which seems to indicate a clear ranking of teams already. Then, we get into it. Something's rotten DEEP down at Alpine, watch out Ryan Reynolds. Red Bull says hold my beer with another PR mom…

Mad Men level texts, Torger's stages of grief and more: Welcome to the '24 season! 38:55

4M ago38:55

38:55

Bahrain is the books and it looks... same same but different? We look quickly at the first race before talking about what this week and preseason testing mean for the season. That is: mistakes made in fantasy, Alpine's new spot in the caboose and problems for Mercedes-powered cars. Next, we lay out 2024 predictions including for constructors and to…

New year, new Haas: winter break backdoor dealings 25:53

5M ago25:53

25:53

We are BACK. It's 2024, half the grid is due for their Saturn return and all but 2 principals are basically underclassmen. We're 7 weeks out from full chaos and we cannot wait. First things first: we break down Guenther's unceremonious exit and what it might mean for Haas. Is Gene stripping the team for parts or was it fame? This marks another shif…

2023 unwrapped: Dutch anthems, emo singles and TSwift rumors 27:02

7M ago27:02

27:02

Whew, we did it! Max broke almost every record, Ferrari gave us one switch up in the anthem and there were passive aggressive teammate radios galore. First, we look at the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Not as dramatic as 2021 but still some moments of greatness. Ferrari's new strategists (the drivers!), an extension for Alonso & Yuki's goodbye toast …

VIVA LAS VEGAS. Also, math. 17:48

7M ago17:48

17:48

Excuse the sound quality but it's Vegas, it's Thanksgiving and we are finally doing this IRL again! Who won and who lost in the inaugural Vegas GP? Some hints: the Sphere, the Bellagio, Elvis, capitalism. This was Liberty's big shot and they shot to kill. We break down the massive numbers behind the race, how it compares to the Super Bowl and what …

Rooting for the antihero: Alonso strikes back in Brazil 40:28

8M ago40:28

40:28

We are BACK after a brief hiatus. And a LOT happened. A triple header, too many sprints and lots of team drama. We cover the highlights: 1) Alonso's epic drive & the radical changes at Aston Martin -- we don't think Daddy Stroll subscribes to a zero blame culture 2) Return of the Ric vs Checo wondering where has the love gone? 3) George's (pity?) D…

A championship with a side of therapy? 33:16

9M ago33:16

33:16

Red Bull clinched the World Constructors Championship (spoiler alert said no one). Checo provided the comedic relief we needed to cope -- bumper cars and a bizarre penalty served 7 laps later. He must've been reading about the World Destructors Championship (sorry, Logan's clinched that)! This weekend was about them, but it was also about the DRAMA…

The return of CARLANDO in Singapore 43:37

9M ago43:37

43:37

Yes, this is another pod all about the *smooth operator*. Carlos Sainz just laid down a gauntlet for Ferrari in Singapore with his second pole & the win! Streaks have been broken. Has EVERYTHING changed?! Should he stay or should he go? Maybe he should hone his bestie Lando's easy, breezy, beautiful Gossip Girl ways. Shoutouts to Georgie for going …

Sainz the Superhero (v. Max, v. Checo, v. Charles, v. Robber) 31:44

10M ago31:44

31:44

Monza is basically synonymous with Ferrari and the tifosi. This race was about Carlos Sainz: Sainz on pole, Sainz v Max, Sainz v Charles, Sainz v Milan robber. We debate who should be top dog and if everything is kosher in that debrief room. Also, who wins Dad of the paddock!? (Sainz v Verstappen) And, a golf clap for Max who officially set a new c…

Tan and Tousled: F1 summer break with a side of the Dutch GP 39:39

10M ago39:39

39:39

The Dutch GP had everything. The most overtakes since the '60s. Torrential rain and Mercedes strategy MAYHEM. Logan crying. Leclerc emo lawn chair chilling. Albon might still be driving on those softs. Alonso returned to the podium. Lewis rocked a new stylist. Whew. We *needed* August off. Speaking of which, who won summer break?? This was the year…

BONUS episode: Oscar Piastri & Nico Hulkenberg, star crossed "rookies" 33:31

10M ago33:31

33:31

This is an episode for fans of the movie "Sliding Doors" or chill Aussie guys or Barbenheimer. Basically, everyone. We are talking Oscar Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg. What do they have in common? Eerily many things. They're both "rookies" who came to F1 full of promise after crushing F2/F3 and getting into karting in a similar fashion. Granted, one …

A summer Spa sendoff: rising Piastri, sinking Alpine 32:39

11M ago32:39

32:39

It was a wet and wild Spa sprint & GP and Bridgette has THOUGHTS. Max was spicy all weekend - much of which was directed at his frenemy race engineer. How has he been so dominant? Meanwhile, the scales are tipping in another garage as Landoscar remains the story of the moment. Can Zak Brown learn to love Piastri as his own?? Then, the Alpine saga c…

1
Hunger Games at Red Bull 23:51

11M ago23:51

23:51

Doctor Marko strikes again! Danny is back as Max's likability foil, in a full circle moment that Bridgette / Reddit lays out so beautifully. She also fully comes into her own as a Piastri stan, just ahead of more McLaren upgrades at Spa. Hungary was light on content high on (Alpine) drama. Will Ocon shank Gasly in the off season? Can those two ever…

1
LANDOSCAR & the F1 movie that needs to be made 31:24

12M ago31:24

31:24

McLaren was the story of the weekend! Energy, shifted. Lando had the drive of his life, Max looked SHOOK by Piastri and both Mercedes drivers politely applauded them. Maybe this season isn't only EBM anymore. Meanwhile, changes are coming at Red Bull with Nyck out and Danny in, where does that leave Checo (cough cough: Albon)? Next, Hollywood keeps…

Alpine gets Ted Lasso'd + Penalty Palooza 38:58

12M ago38:58

38:58

One day delayed because, America. This one's all about GOING TO THE (TRACK) LIMITS aka the Austrian GP which was basically about Oprah-stye track limits penalties, more Stroll clause weirdness and Ferrari's new driver hierarchy. Also, Max. The big news of the week was Ryan Reynolds + Maximum Effort buying a 24% stake in Alpine. Are all these teams …

F1 but Louder + why Danny Ric should never eat poutine again 35:36

1y ago35:36

35:36

We start with the GOAT-studded Canadian GP after a very wet, penalty-laden quali. Max hit a bird(!) and other sim moments. Alonso looks unstoppable excluding the Stroll clause. And Georgie has a Leclerc moment. From there, we talk through driver of the day (spoiler: when does Albon get his deserved take two at Red Bull?!). Most importantly, what ha…

Lewis x Shakira? Mercedes en FUEGO in Barcelona 35:01

1y ago35:01

35:01

First we debrief the Spanish GP that was exciting for EBM (Everyone But Max). Is Alonso subject to a Stroll clause? What does it mean that Russell beat Checo outright -- do we have a real fight for second in the drivers and constructors on our hands? Either way, George won the weekend and our hearts with another weather zinger over the radio. Which…

1
Aston Martin's Succession story + Monaco 39:46

1y ago39:46

39:46

First we recap the Monaco GP that was really about quali with a side of rain and a hint of Checo conspiracy. Was that Alonso's best shot at a win? Or was he hinting he was just gearing up for that top step? On that note, how long can Red Bull's reign last? And if so, who would take over? We see you, Lawrence "Logan" Stroll. But then, who is Lance?!…

*First of, our hearts go out to everyone affected in the Emilia Romagna region.* Join us for an Eras tour of Alonso's epic life on and off track! We start with Alonso's humble, uber competitive beginnings. That set the stage for his ascendence as the god of mischief, the Loki of Northern Spain. That somehow unfolds into a $1m Japanese Samurai inspi…

LL Cool J's ChatGPT intros, the billionaires of F1 and the SCENE at the Miami GP 38:09

1y ago38:09

38:09

We cruise through the Miami GP - Leclerc's gift in quali that ultimately didn't matter, KMag's pillaging of the Ferrari village and Alonso's mid race TV binge. But we all know this weekend wasn't really about the racing. So on to the good stuff... We run through the most ridiculous (and only ever?) pre-race show led by LL Cool J. To quote Bridgette…

The Baku "shootout" GP and F1's pop star moment 37:19

1y ago37:19

We break down the Baku GP and F1's first "sprint shootout". That includes Max's take on "Princess George", the tyre debacle of sprint qualifying and Checo's revenge tour. Then, F1 has *officially* tipped. Fernando's teasing us on TikTok. Is he a monster on the hill? Charles: the pop star? Is Danny Ric heading back to the grid? And would you have wo…

A MEGA race down under + justice served in Brazil 38:12

1y ago38:12

38:12

A slightly belated episode after we welcomed another bebe to the mix... We break down the CHAOTIC Aussie GP -- how only 12 cars finished, the rationale behind a historic three red flag race and the internal team drama (Jos? Danny Ric? Who's that in Checo's ear? that set the stage for the whole saga. This was a mega episode for a mega race. Next, we…

Checo's Revenge in Saudi Arabia & the FIA 33:04

1+ y ago33:04

33:04

We break down the Saudi Arabia GP -- the driveshaft drama that lit up quali, many spicy Red Bull radios which continued into the shade room, and the behind the scenes of rear-jack-gate (Alonso's 3rd "gate" in F1). Also, is Ferrari basically Alpine now? Next, we look at all the Mercedes drama since Bahrain - can they turn this thing around? Is Lewis…

1
BONUS episode: Are we ALL George Russell? 27:16

1+ y ago27:16

27:16

After a few fan requests, we dug into the question: who is George Russell?? The 25 year old English gentleman and Twitter trend is an enigma to us. We go deep into his peas & beans childhood, his powerpoint ascent to Williams and Mercedes and his life off-track. We also take a stab at our own "George Russell is the type of guy who..." - what did we…

Correct answers might include Binotto + Guenther in a tiny car, Otmar's meticulous jersey ironing and Toto's Real Housewives moment. Conversely, what was sorely missing? And what does that say…

1+ y ago27:40

27:40

In this BONUS episode, we talk all things Esteban Ocon! Ocon has the craziest ascendancy story into F1 on the grid, which is probably part of his low profile persona. We wanted to break that down - the rough and tumble early years around cars and karting with his family, a journey through motorsport met with constant financial turmoil. Is "Este" F1…
