Grid Walk

WELCOME BACK FROM F1 SUMMER BREAK! It is time for the Italian Grand Prix to end the long summer shutdown because there is no such thing as the Dutch Grand Prix, right? The Dutch Grand Prix didn’t happen?? That's at least what Briana and Nicole are telling themselves on the new episode of Grid Walk to cope with the far from ideal race weekend.

Formula 1 news never waits! Briana and Nicole come together for some last minute recording to discuss the latest breaking F1 news! The FIA has released a technical directive regarding the flexibility of wings on F1 cars. The FIA has developed this technical directive after observing the performance of certain F1 teams. What does this mean for the development of the F1 teams for the rest of the season?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by Formula 1! Briana and Nicole hold a small venting session for their latest woes as an F1 fan. Was the Dutch Grand Prix a personal attack? Will Scuderia AlphaTauri driver Daniel Ricciardo make a recovery before the end of the 2023 F1 season? Will Scuderia Ferrari figure out how to do a pitstop?

Inspired by F1’s hysterical video series “Grill the Grid,” Briana and Nicole play “Grill the Grid Walk Host!” Nicole has to try and put all of the F1 drivers in age order and it is a lot harder than it sounds! Briana is put to the test with F1 trivia that even the F1 drivers struggled to answer! Can Briana name 2 F1 drivers for each prompt Nicole throws at her: “Won A Race for Mclaren F1 Team,” “Won The Championship In A Ferrari,” “Raced For Two Different F1 Teams In The Same Season,’ and more!

Formula 1 is headed to Monza this race week for the Italian Grand Prix! Briana and Nicole’s Italian Grand Prix preview gives you all the must have information. What tire compounds is Pirelli recommending for the Italian Grand Prix? How does the circuit at Monza compare to Zandvoort? The Grid Walk competition to avoid an ice bath continues with Briana and Nicole’s Italian Grand Prix Predictions! Will Alex Albon score points again for Williams Racing after his impressive P8 finish at the Dutch Grand Prix? Will Oracle Red Bull Racing driver Sergio Perez be able to maintain a pace to be on the podium with teammate Max Verstappen?
