Hello! This podcast was prompted by the ongoing murmurs that Renault is about to sell Alpine. It's based on an article from formulacurious.substack.com that was previously behind a paywall --but now isn't!

I discuss the history between Red Bull Racing, by which I mostly mean Christian Horner, and Renault. With snark and facts.

Fresh from my self imposed mode slow, recharge on time, I present to you my thoughts from the 2025 Zandvoort Grand Prix weekend, or Zand-thoughts, with some other bits I've missed talking about lately.

Other things include: Valtteri Bottas' moustache, Valtteri's arse, and a wild prediction on McLaren next year.

I've been having a bit of a time lately, so this is both a Belgian GP review and Hungarian GP prediction type chat. I say "review" but I mostly talk about the stuff I think others have missed.

I'm around on the socials, if you're interested in that type of thing;

The sound quality isn't the best in this episode, I know, I was just impatient to get this out because it was already way later than I wanted.

A belated set of predictions! This episode is a bit late because I was having a bit of day, and needed some help with the editing. Check out how wrong I can be? Who did I curse already?

This is an annotated reading from an article I wrote in 2024 shortly after the Horner allegations broke. (Article via Substack and via Medium)

I mention a video in response to the "this is a baseless dig" crowd, it's here.

Going for the fashionable question, where's Max gonna go now that Christian Horner isn't around? Or, just maybe, is it time to set him free?

This episode is based on a post I wrote recently via Substack, via Medium, and Buttondown.

Some collated post-race thoughts, in which I discuss the lack of accuracy in my predictions for the British GP.

Some quick predictions for the British GP 2025, produced in a single afternoon as a challenge to myself, because I tend to record episodes and never do anything with them.

I refer to some predictions for the year at some point, this a post I wrote on Substack back in March.

Hello!

This is a reading from an older article from 2024; https://formulacurious.substack.com/p/austria-is-not-australia?r=2kp71p

There's been some chat around the F1 world lately, so I want to gather some of it up, and then dissect it for your listening pleasure. There's driver chat, team principal politics, FIA presidency chat, and Lego cars. Oh, and the McLaren tyre water!
