On this week's episode of the F1 Chatpod, we talk about Max Verstappen's illegal move on George Russell. One can draw a direct line from drivers like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher (and perhaps a younger Fernando Alonso) to Max . Win at all costs, never apologize, never admit wrongdoing, and complain loudly and consistently. 

You see it in politics these days too, specifically strong men like Doug Ford in the orange emperor. You see it in European football. You don't see it in American football or Canadian hockey. You don't see it in UCI cycling. But in some sports, there are some real big babies.

We have fetished victimhood and weaponized blame. As usual the pendulum has swung from the stiff upper lip all the way to the perpetually triggered.  And some of our heroes are the worst offenders.

The F1 ChatPod is two longtime friends, Milkbags and J.B. talking F1 in a way only poeple on the outside can. Unlike punditry that is worried about job security and paddock access, the F1 ChatPod is completely independent. Expect juicy gossip, baseless speculation and unbridled opinions.

Milkbags is a longtime F1 fan and comedian in Vancouver and JB is a psychotherapist-in-training in Toronto.

This is our most unprofessional episode, especially at the beginning. Not because we have diverging opinions on the Monaco Grand Prix but mostly because Milkbags is so aggressive.

Join two comedians and old friends trying to remain friends while talking about Formula One. Milkbags in Vancouver is still practising comedy whereas JB and Toronto has given up and come back to school and is now pursuing a masters in psychology. Milkbags is a longtime fan of Formula One. JB is a Johnny-come-lately. Join these two men of a certain age as they navigate friendship, Formula One and feelings.

Today's episode of the F1 chat pod is definitely our most offensive, most slanderous yet. We trash talk pretty much everyone because we're interested in equality. 

Join cohosts Milkbags in Vancouver and JB in Toronto as these two friends try to outdo each other when it comes to being cranky old men who have strong opinions about stuff they know little of. 

The F1 ChatPod -- more than just F1. But still disappointing.

Is this the end of the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrar?

Is this the beginning for Colapinto or just another false start? 

Does Max change diapers? 

The F1 Chatpod is a Formula One podcast for people who want more than just statistics with their race cars. Here at F1 Chatpod headquarters we strive to give you the juicy goss, the unresearched facts and the baseless speculation. 

Our bona fides are true, however. Milkbags and Vancouver brings decades of Formula One fandom experience and JB and Toronto is pursuing a masters in psychology. Between the two of them, they bring unique insight into the thoughts behind the  decisions made in the world's fastest sport.

Really, this is a podcast about two friends  meeting once a week to catch up. And to talk about F1.

And there's always something to talk about in F1 these days. Because  much of it is barreling towards disaster.

F1 ChatPod is an excuse for two friends, Milkbags and JB, to chat about why they've failed in life... and Formula 1.

There is so much to talk about and laugh at on this episode. Milkbags loses it when I ask him how much money he made when he was an internet sensation. He also tells us about his skin tags. His new live show Canadian Steam is gathering the proverbial in Mt. Vernon. And he professes Adrian Newey is going to deisgn a car for Max at Aston Martin... and Lance will be the second seat. 

I think Stroll will be out of F1 for 2026 and the Verstappen show will come to AM as there is no way Max wants the boss's son lingering, not to mention Alonso. Verstappen Racing is already powered by Aston Martin.

Milkbags had a leak in his condo. He still doesn't have any acting work in Film & TV so he's going back to school to become a plumber. 

Plumbers can make as much as a GP. I'm really excited for Milky's new life chapter. 

He's also planning his exit from the world which is fun. It's a real optimistic start to the beginning of the F1 season.

We also cover: 

- Testing in Bahrain is boooooring. We need more buses on the track. 

- Make weight allowances to improve team liveries. 

- Street tracks versus real tracks. 

- Is this peak F1? Does the Brad Pitt F1 movie jump the shark for the sport?

Milkbags and JB are back in preparation for the 2025 season of Formula One racing. But first they have to catch up and talk about getting older, how they fantasize about not having to deal with technology anymore, moving to Italy (still), or Portugal or Hawaii.

Then they move onto some outrageous predictions, including Ferrari for the Constructors, Liam Lawson for a race win, Antonelli for a podium and what two drivers will wage the battle of the year?

Erectile disfunction is nothing to be embarrassed about here on the F1 ChatPod -- the world's most popular F1 podcast -- and it's also not the only topic we discuss on this episode. 

We also talk about how JB thinks Oscar Piastri should be Prime Minister of Australia and how Norris still can't stop trashing himself even when he wins a race. Milkbags describes his outsized love for his therapy dog in spite of her thyroid issue and credits her with helping him finally quitting male prostitution (both practicing and purchasing).

In this episode we talk about rules and those that follow versus those that flaunt them. JB wants the right amount of bending of the rules. Rules are meant to be bent and sometimes broken. For instance, not a lot of Qatari women seen in the stands at the race. Maybe we should think about breaking that rule. Milkbags wants F1 drivers to stop whinging. Especially Max who -- even when he's won the championship will still be nagging Christian to nag the stewards to penalize the competition to the point of making the race less interesting. 

And speaking of stewards, it's difficult to get a drink in Muslim Doha but evidently these guys found the hidden stash because some of their calls were so bad they must've been on the sauce.
