Behind the Formula

Description:  Rains, Trains, and Broken Automobiles… In this week's episode we cover the 2022 Monaco GP, a race that gave us a very sad Charles, a very happy Checo, and a very confusing but kinda enjoyable series of events. But never one to miss an opportunity for a tangent, we also bring up Grace Kelly an inordinate amount, reminisce about Spa, and plan our dream con.

In this week's episode we discuss the surprisingly fun Spanish GP, covering everything from our favorite radio messages (spoilers: it’s a toss up between George and GP) to our mixed feelings about team orders. Along the way we also make a surprising amount of bad predictions, sing a little bit, and contend with the fact that we have loose morals when it comes to cheating.

In this week’s episode we have a tangent filled chat about the delightfully weird Miami GP, where we sometimes stay on topic and talk about the race, but a lot of the time get sidetracked   by everything else. Along the way we get into our longstanding issues with Florida Animal Control, contend with our grid walk Stockholm Syndrome, and play a rapid fire game of “Would I recognize this F1 Driver on the street?”

Just like the F1 season, we are back and ready for new nonsense, tomfoolery, and maybe even some racing. Join us in this episode as we get into the 2022 Bahrain GP, covering everything from whatever happened to those Red Bulls to midfield shakeups. Along the way we also detail Ferrari’s clown college graduation, chef fights, and hypothetically how Carlos and Lando would fight the grid.

In this week’s episode we discuss the creation and inherent complications of FIA in the post war period (knowing what we know of her today you can guess how messy it was). While taking a slightly more serious tone than usual, we still find the time to talk about Jeff Goldblum’s iconic 90s film roles, what kind of drunk girl FIA is at a party, and chaotic record keeping.

After a little post season break, we are back to review the sometimes wonderful, sometimes mad 2021 F1 season. Starting with the briefest review of Abu Dhabi known to man, we get into our favorite moments of the season ranging from favorite penalties and FIA radios to who we were most impressed by and who we think needs to shape up.

In this week's episode we try to make sense of whatever the Saudi Arabia GP was, sometimes with success and sometimes not - much like the drivers themselves. Along the way we forget what most of the grid was doing during the race, regret some earlier wishes, and try to brace ourselves for the last race of the season.

In this week’s episode we talk about the joyful chaos that was the Brazilian GP, from the sprint race of our dreams to the overtake extravaganza. Along the way throw out some predictions for the rest of the season, try to figure out Brazilian reality TV phrases, and once again create some unrealistic scenarios.

In this week’s episode we discuss the spectacle that was the US GP, covering everything from papaya sandwiches to our new favorite FIA radio moment. Along the way units of time are forgotten, decisions are questioned, and Oscar Isaac is somehow involved.

In this episode we explore grand prix racing during the 1940s and the ways in which World War Two helped shape (and helps explain) the 1950 season of Formula One. Starting where we left off last episode, we cover the wartime exploits of teams and drivers as well as the unofficial racing seasons that followed. Along the way we take a slight tangent to rant about movie tropes and make fun of spy ring names.
