We were in the home of F1 at Silverstone this past weekend and what a race it was for the British racing team McLaren! Are they back? Was Mika Hakkinen right all along? I’ll guess we’ll see. It was another strong showing from Williams, and more of the same from Red Bull: Max dominance and Checo disappointment.

The biggest news coming out today is Danny Ricciardo is back in an F1 seat! We speculated about the rumours and now it’s official, Danny is racing for AlphaTauri for the rest of the year, wow!

On today’s episode, we’re recapping our home Grand Prix in Montreal and we sure had fun watching everything go down during the race weekend including Guenther Steiner gearing up with the Habs, Bottas showing off one of the greatest special helmets of all time, and Groundhogs, groundhogs, and some more groundhogs.

And that’s before we even got to the on track drama! Max ran away with this one again but the battle for 2nd was great to watch and it truly looks like Aston Martin’s upgrades have put their car back in the number 2 spot in terms of performance.

Hats off to Alex Albon and the entire Williams team for a fantastic race weekend with some incredible strategy calls and a great race from Albon.

And not to be outdone by Williams, Ferrari (?!) ended up having a great race and went against the grain early with a tyre strategy call that paid off in the end!

We go over it all in today’s episode, tune in now!

On today’s episode, the boys are back and are previewing their home race, the Canadian Grand Prix! We’re absolutely pumped for this race and yeah you’re right, Max is probably going to dominate but that doesn’t mean that we won’t have some drama happen behind him!

Can Alpine continue their form? Can Lance show up at his home race? And will Yuki channel that anger from the result in Spain and put together a great result? We shall see!

The boys also have another round of F1 Trivia coming at you and some cool news in the Sprint to the Finish Line. Tune in now!

Well we had quite the weekend in Spain with an electrifying qualifying session which saw Charles out in q1, Checo and George out in q2 and Lando on the second row qualifying p3!

Of course that dream quickly turned into a nightmare for Lando at the beginning of the race, Max took off and never looked back, the Mercs are looking good and Lance heard the haters and put in a pretty decent performance.

Lance was disappointing again and Yuki continues to show why he’ll be the most likely successor to Checo in the Red Bull number two seat.

Esteban Ocon outta nowhere! Is Alpine starting to turn the corner?
