Race Recap:  Abu Dhabi

It was a weekend of goodbyes and maybe some see you laters to Seb, Nicky, Danny Ric, and Mick Schumacher. Lewis Hamilton bought the grid dinner and said ‘peace out and never again’ to the W13. Charles held off Checo to win P2 in the Drivers. We chat about the virgin mojitos, Alonso finishing the season in the only way possible, and work through the Hamilton red flag/no penalty situation as we say goodbye to the 2022 season. Join us as we recap the race, break down the week’s news, and pick our winners and losers!

Race Recap: Brazil 

It was a weekend of firsts, it started with the shocking KMag Haas pole position to the emotional George Russell podium. The last Sprint of the season started rainy and ended really stormy in some of the garages. The week we talk through pitlane fires, team orders and partnerships crumbling, the unlapped Tsunoda (forever a sensitive subject), and McLaren’s bumper car incidents. Join us as we recap the race, break down the week’s news, and pick our winners and losers!

For our next episodes of the series, we welcome Emma Elsbecker! As founder of Formula One Nation, she has taken her love of Formula 1 to TikTok where she uses her platform to share thought-provoking and conversation-starting content.

Attending a Grand Prix is the ultimate F1 fan experience, but that doesn’t mean its necessarily easy! There is so much to consider from which one to attend, how to get there, GA v. Grandstands, etc. Join us as we break the whole process down, discuss which North American races to attend, what to pack (and what to bring to the track, and where we are headed next year!

Race Recap: Mexico

With 4 wins here, the Mexico City GP will now be known as MAXico. He is earned it to become the pole position driver to translate that position to a victory since the race returned in 2015. In a race we thought could bring us a 6 car battle for pole and victory, we instead were treated to a race decided by tyre strategies, and not the predicted ones. This week we chat through the cost cap, the tyre strategies for Red Bull and Mercedes, and penalty points as Gasly is at 10 or 12. Join us as we recap the race, break down the week’s news, and pick our winners and losers!

Race Recap: United States

Everything really is bigger - Buc-cees, Beers, Shaq. Also bigger hopes for a Ferrari, Mercedes, or even a Vettel win! Those hopes might have been foolish but we can all dream, right? We loved being there, and cannot wait to go back next year. Join us as we recap the race, break down the week’s news, and pick our winners and losers!

Team Deep Dive: Haas 

The best(?) for last?! We definitely saved Haas to talk Gunther in detail, but it is all F1 in America this week as we talk through the American F1 team ahead of the US GP. Join us as we chat about Mick’s future, KMag’s return to F1 just in time to start the season, and what significance there is, if any, of a US team. 

Race Recap: Japan 

2022 has a champion - Max Verstappen! He was crowned in the pit lane after a red-flagged race we didn’t think would restart and an FIA math session to determine if he had the points (hint hint - not even Red Bull knew he won). This weekend has full of cost cap predictions, silly season nonsense, and love for Suzuka (and their fans)! Join us as we recap the race, break down the week’s news, and pick our winners and losers!

Race Recap: Singapore 

He won in Monaco and he won here - it was a Checo victory after a chaotic race that felt like it was 8 hours long. Aston Martin and McLaren showed up to play, while Mercedes, Alpine, and Verstappen struggled. We talk about the return of Albon, the cost cap rumors, and give a Silly Season status. Join us as we recap the race, break down the week’s news, and pick our winners and losers!
