Send us a text There are SIX(ish) rookies on the grid, after a year with no change. Even the ones we thought we knew, we didn’t really know. This cohort of Gen Z frenemies brings new drama: Doohan’s seat is already up for grabs and the season hasn’t even started! Ollie Bearman: a star is born with The Bear Necessities ! Cue an ex-girlfriend fiasco a la Ocon & Gasly with another driver on track? Bortoleto v "Le Petit Prost" is our next epic battle. And there’s always the existential question of Liam vs. Red Bull hanging in the bounds. After a deep preview of our rookies, we talk about best and worst team dynamics and who will likely be our star rookies of the year. We’ll be back after pre-season testing with predictions in just a few weeks!

Send us a text McLaren takes it to the wire but wins the constructors championship for the first time since ’98! Charles is emo but Sainz stays classy. We look at the final race, the winners and losers and the implications for next year which shakes up the grid completely. We also circle back to our drivers champion Max who’s in his Daddy era. And maybe making other major life moves too? Has VCARB been mismanaged, and could Red Bull survive Max leaving? Will Checo make $$ on his way out? In a season of change, there’s no perfect way to sign off the year than a good old “Rose, Thorn” rendition. Curious to hear y’all’s as well! Happy Holidays! We’ll be back some off-season coverage and pre-season testing before you know it.

Send us a text Max isn’t having any fun, but we are! Austin and Mexico City felt like two ends of the same race. We saw Ferrari’s dominance and a Max v. Lando tiff turned into 25 seconds of penalties. To quote the Great George Russell, 19/20 drivers are on one side. Have the drivers turned on Max? Will he retire and ditch his Red Bull bedtime? Meanwhile, the championships are up for grabs. Can Ferrari pull this off, and if so, did they make the right call with Hamilton? Also, lots of thoughts on our new paddock additions, the hero (Colapinto) and anti-hero (Lawson) to keep your eye on.

Send us a text We’re still emotional about Danny’s goodbye fastest lap, as is Zak Brown it seems! McLaren pulls further away in the constructor’s championship and Lando laid down a dominant message in his bid for the driver’s. Meanwhile, Max picked up second but was more focused on his day of community service. We talk about his word strike in interviews after the FIA’s new swearing rule and what all the shakeups could mean for our new star, Colapinto. Next up, Austin after an impromptu fall break!

Send us a text Piastri and Leclerc drove their hearts out in Baku and McLaren reclaimed the top of the constructors chart for the first time in a decade. Also, George Russell was there: the king of the accidental podiums rounded out the top 3 after an epic crash. We talk who’s to blame, how papaya rules & team orders should play out from here and what’s ahead in both championships. Read: someone needs to sage the bad vibes at Milton Keynes ASAP. Also, our thoughts on 2025: what Max’s sassy radios and sim crackdowns could mean for the upcoming rookies next year and how Leclerc is coping with Lewis heading to Maranello. Next up, Singapore!

Send us a text Break out those red hats because Ferrari won at Monza! And more impressively, no one saw it coming including them! We were emotional during the ceremony while the Tifosi roared and Oscar unleashed his inner Max. Which is to say, it looks like more success, more problems at McLaren. We chat “papaya rules” and debate if Oscar is going to be next season’s diamond if that team doesn’t address the Bad Blood ASAP. Emotions run high as we unpack the possibility of team orders and whether the driver’s championship is really up for grabs. Finally, what’s going on with Red Bull? Where will Newey land? Is F1 ready for 3 new rookies on the 2025 grid? It’s all about pipeline, baby! Next up, Baku!

Send us a text We are *back* from summer break and things are *spicy*. Will McLaren steal the constructors championship and become dominant? Is Mercedes all smoke and mirrors? This season feels like anything could happen so we kick things off with some refreshed predictions. Then, we talk through the Dutch GP and Lando’s absurd margin of victory. We sidebar into Max’s headspace after getting grounded for too much time in the sim and losing his home race. But it all comes back to pipeline right now — Red Bull’s demise, Mercedes losing Lewis. Now the whole grid shaking up with 2 rookies confirmed for 2025 and lil’ Kimi close behind. We talk about the changes and the seats yet to fall. Finally, where will the diamond of the year land?

Send us a text LEWIS. WON. We pull apart the steps that led to the season's most emotional race ending yet, as Lewis found his way back to the top step at his home race. That moment also marked Merc's second straight win. Given that and McLaren's meteoric rise in the last 6 races, do we have a dead heat between a new top 3 cars? Which is partially to say: has Ferrari totally fallen behind? We break down the triple header drama that just finished and look ahead to the second half of the season. Can Max & Lando stay true through adversity? Could we see more race winners on our hands? What should Red Bull do with Checo? Who will the diamond of the season (Mr. Newey) choose? There are more questions than answers but we lay out predictions and hopes and dreams for the rest of the season which is totally up for grabs all of a sudden! Next up, Hungaroring!

Send us a text 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 updates and the fate of the top seats. There are a few Freudian slips and predictions sprinkled in, but our best creation might be the Vettel + Mick movie we're all craving. The biggest question is... who is this season's diamond? And where will he land?! All that and more before we head to Spain next. Vamos!

Send us a text 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 about the career-ending lap one that involved 3 different incidents. Who's revealed their true colors and gone a step too far? Lastly, RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS. Will there even be enough drivers left on the grid? How is speed dating treating Sainz and Bottas? Why hasn't Newey signed?! And in F1's latest guidance, who should Andretti buy?

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's return and is there a path to Red Bull? Especially with the loss of timeless (ageless) Newey, in Christian's flight to safety? That's to say, our predictions are potentially coming true(!) Newey-Lewis 2026?! Based on paddock sightings, we think yes. Why was Sainz a little emo in the car? What's up with the dynamic duo at Haas? And which 5 drivers are probably off the grid next season? All that + some HUGE news for F1 Academy. Next, Imola!

Send us a text 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 way to the pit wall to Stroll missing basic driver's ed lessons about who's at fault. Stroll continues his streak of accomplishing the unthinkable and made us miss Latifi this weekend! This season's all about silly so we swap over to that ASAP. That is, Marko is stirring the pot about a Sainz + Audi deal as the main holdup in his Red Bull ascendancy. Is it real? What does that mean? Especially in light of Alonso's new contract which may mean he's in our F1 lives forever. Lots of shade and contract rationales to discuss. Finally, we give an update on Andretti before we head back to the USA. Up next, Welcome to Miami!

Send us a text 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 like a man on a mission. Or as he puts it, "an unemployed driver". Could he have won vs Max in a perfectly executed race? Should we take Lando's advice and all get our appendices removed? And now that Sainz has matched Checo's wins in the last few years -- is Red Bull his next stop? Either way, silly season just got a little spicier. Are Danny Ric's days numbered? Is Freddy V regretting his Hamilton trade on his way to Japan? Finally we talk visor tear offs, poor Georgie Russ, Guenther's hilarious post-race interviews and how Bridgette is day-trading her fantasy team. Up next, Suzuka!

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 moment (and we're not talking about Geri, Horner & Newey at the awards ceremony). Marko has the rumor mill going and the Verstappens are officially on board. Bridgette extends the Game of Thrones analogy and offers up some legal advice. Finally, we talk more silly and the exciting kick off of F1 Academy in a new, much improved form that includes 6 overlapping races with F1 and superlicense points! See ya down under!
