  • Hungarian GP Review: Ferrari Strategy drags down Sainz, Leclerc as Max takes easy win

    I go on to a little bit of a rant in this one as Charles Leclerc goes on to come home in 6th in a race he was WINNING. I also (as a Ferrari fan) go deep into how Max Verstappen can finish first after starting 10th and Lewis Hamilton can finish 2nd after starting on 7th. Still, Ferrari can make their top driver finish 6th...

  • Modern F1 Legend: Sebastian Vettel

    While researching for the episode, I found out that Sebastian Vettel had just announced his retirement from Formula 1. This is also the first episode I am recording and editing on Adobe Audition (instead of Audacity)

    A sad moment for the entire community, here s something that I hope will lift your mood... As we remember Vettel's past and cherish the final few races he has left this season.

    Don't know where we'll see you next Seb. Good Luck for the next stage of life.

  • Emilia-Romagna GP AKA Imola GP: Max laps Lewis, Lando gets 3rd podium for McLaren!

    Another episode of a recap of the race, this time at Imola! The race was super wet to the point that DRS was not allowed.

    This led to a lot of drivers (*cough* Charles Leclerc *cough*) feeling the pressure and spinning out on track when you were SOOO close to getting a podium... Russel being younger than Hamilton is fairing way better this season and it is astonishing.

  • Australian GP Review: Ferrari's win, Jeddah boycott, George's first podium!

    Sorry for the inconvenience, this episode airs 2 days late... and I am deeply sorry as some time-zone issue caused delays in recording, which led to delays in editing and episode release. (more on this in the podcast). I was working on The Official Website and was busy due to that (also explained in the episode)

    In this episode, we talk about the race in Melbourne, Australia. Once used to be an inaugural race of the season in the pre-COVID era is surely still loved...

    We saw George earning his first podium at Mercedes (his first EVER being 2021 Belgian GP - Spa, where he came in second place... while driving a Williams). We also saw Red Bulls being much more powerful than the Silver Arrows... especially in high-speed corners.

    Overall the race was great... apart from the fact that 2 drivers - one who just left Ferrari (Vettel) and one who just joined Ferrari (Carlos Sainz) actually missed the braking zone in Turn 4 of the track which directly or indirectly ended their respective races.

  • Bahrain GP 2022: Red Bull Reliability issues, Ferrari's OP engine, Rise of Haas and much more....

    If THIS is what the new era of F1 is all about, I am all for it! In this episode we go in-depth about Mercedes and Ferrari almost swapping engine departments - as until last year Ferrari was stuck with a bad engine and Mercedes was all "Party Mode", the new ethanol fuels have really impacted the Merc engines, Haas has risen to the top of the Midfield (as I predicted in Haas VF22 launch episode) and Ferrari are the title contenders (I told you so in F1 pace predictions episode).

    Also, I would like to mention that a Website for Merch and a Blog is coming through and I would also be accepting Listener donations from there...

    If you are enjoying the content, please do not shy away from giving the pod a 5-star rating and leave your suggestions to help me improve on the content.

  • McLaren Aero is superior against porpoising... Here's why

    Even though McLaren predicted that porpoising will be fixed in the first 5 to 6 races this season and drivers like Bottas and Zhou have denied that porpoising would ever become a safety issue... It still got me thinking...

    After seeing Charles Leclerc's car see-saw-ing through the straights of Barcelona and one of the Ferraris getting binned in the walls... with almost all teams struggling with this... how is McLaren immune to this issue??

  • Aston Martin AMR22 Car Reveal: How the first TRUE reveal of 2022 stand up to HAAS's improvements (if any lol)

    BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!!!! I turn 19 today, on 12th Feb 2022!

    Birthday Wishes aside,

    Aston Martin revealed the car... like the PHYSICAL car with both the drivers - Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll present just like the Pre-pandemic fashion. After Haas's renderings that launched and after RedBull's half-hearted attempt of unveiling its "new" livery. This makes me think... I was probably too harsh with the green British team lmao.

    Here are my thoughts on the car and how it looks...

    Found a good breakdown on Twitter as well: https://twitter.com/ScarbsTech/status/1491778193199706113?t=TZezxwiQ_QL7J17xZ3mbfQ&s=19

  • Haas VF22 Car Reveal Review: All new, but is it all different?

    As Hass reveals the 3D renders on Twitter for the VF22, The Internet is divided, some say that it looks ugly or same-ish from the previous season, some say it looks great, some can't differentiate between the 2021 and 2022 cars because of the similar livery... but I smell a conspiracy to misguide the audience but more importantly... misguide opposing teams in F1. Here is the review of the first car in 2022.

    How right or wrong I am, is to be seen on 23rd February - the first day of testing at Barcelona (Catalunya)... when we shall compare how the cars looked and evolved behind the scenes...

    Link to the Tweet from Haas revealing the car: https://twitter.com/HaasF1Team/status/1489554296995733505?s=20&t=4xGzb_JoCVPM6PrJBHM9Rg
