We’re debriefing the Las Vegas Grand Prix from everything that went right (shoeys with a straw, allll the overtakes!!, the cooldown car!!) and all the things that could have gone… better (the intro ceremony that was giving major Hunger Games, the loose hole covers, the generous compensation of fans and drivers alike).

Time for the Brazil Grand Prix! The weekend included a biblical storm that somehow didn’t show up on anyone’s weather radar (Karen Smith would have more success than an F1 team with a weather radar), Charles once again falling victim to his curse (the Monaco Witch strikes again), and Max joined by two of his favorite recurring guests Lando and Fernando. So basically, your typical 2023 GP weekend. Let’s un-box box the Brazil GP!

The Singapore GP had it all.  Action. Carlos brought his Big Brain Energy to the track and single-handedly executed strategic brilliance while driving 200mph. Carlos IS Ferrari. Friendship.  Carlando shows that friendship always wins. An underdog story.  Liam Lawson thrives as a reserve rookie. And steamy scenes. bring on the ice baths!! Let’s debrief the Singapore Grand Prix!

O.M.G. What a RACEE!! The Monza Grand Prix was everything we could have asked for and more. Records were broken (big up Max Verstappen 🙌), battles were fought (yay for the Tifosi and also anyone check on Fred Vasseur lately), podiums were won (a moment for Carlos Sainz and his HAIR), Estie Besties were lost (we found him dw), watches were stolen AND retrieved (when Carlos Sainz isn’t racing or strategizing he’s actually fighting crime). And so much more. Let’s un-box box the Italian GP!

Summer! Summer! Summer! The Belgian Grand Prix was completely wild and unpredictable. Just kidding. But we did get some rain, a fun Saturday, and some radio bangersss. And Max Verstappen’s winning streak may still be intact but his trophy collection is starting to crumble. TWO broken trophies?! WHAT COULD IT MEAN!? We’re debriefing everything that went down, on and off the track. Let’s un-box box Spa!

We’re debriefing the British Grand Prix with friends (insert Inbetweeners meme here). Lando Norris thrived. Alpine did not. Brad Pitt existed.  And so much more. Silverstone brought all the drama and we’re chatting about allll of it. Let’s un-box box the British GP!

A couple of notes:

• The Nyck de Vries and Daniel Ricciardo news dropped after recording. There’s an extra clip added addressing it, but please expect some of the comments in the pod to be ~2 days out of date!! 
• We went on several unplanned tangents which resulted in a slightly longer episode than normal (I edited it down for 5 hours 😭 😂) so I’ve added some chapters in case you want to skip around. 
• And shout out Dyaus for being such a great sport and discussing all my in-depth personality-based questions along with the race analysis 🥳
