A McLaren 1-2! Oscar Piastri's first victory, and the first F1 win for any driver born in the 21st century. So why are so many on the McLaren team not happy? Let's switch to the Hard Compound and discuss all the drama from the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix. 

• 1:00 Did McLaren doom Lando's championship hopes?

• 35:00 Can F1 do a better job explaining itself? We use SailGP as the baseline for fan confusion. And lobby for more F1 Kids.

The beautiful city of Montreal delivered a dirty race! We love it. Join Patrick (son) and Brian (dad) on the Hard Compound and let's discuss the Canadian Grand Prix. 

• Disastrous weekend for Ferrari. Plus, why Carlos Sainz would make a hot nanny. And why Charles Leclerc must suffer for Ferrari's sins.
• A great weekend for the Empire.  George Russell, Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, Oscar Piastri, Lance Stroll, and Daniel Ricciardo all make the top 10. 
• Another win for Max Verstappen. But here's why we predict Max will leave F1 before 2026. And why the Constructor's championship doesn't matter nearly as much as you think.
• The reasons why Red Bull signed Sergio Perez to two more years. Maybe.
• Our Fernando Alonso conspiracy theory. 
• And why poutine is the world's greatest food. All that and more.  Oh, and ignore the haters. We give you the reasons why F1 2024 will be one of the best seasons ever.

He did it! Charles Leclerc, hometown hero, wins the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix! Join Patrick and Brian on the Hard Compound to discuss the race and the latest F1 stories. 

• 2:00 Charles Leclerc was not to be denied. And that genuine outpouring of support from his team, including from the Prince of Monaco, was special. 
• 4:00 Before we blame KMags, Esteban Ocon, and Sergio Perez for their dumb errors, we first praise young Oscar Piastri and wily George Russell for their performances. 
• 10:00 Keep the Monaco Grand Prix for money and history. Or consign it to the past. But under no circumstances should there be gimmicks to make the race more "interesting." 
• 20:00 Red Bull are in a fight. McLaren and Ferrari are surging. 
• 30:00 No news is big news. All the big F1 driver rumors. And why we expect Daniel Ricciardo out, Logan Sargeant out, and even Esteban Ocon out by the end of 2024 (or maybe sooner). Plus, Toto Wolff's surprise move. 
• 45:00 Predictions for the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix. But, wait. There's more. Patrick sets the bar for crazy predictions with his crazy Lewis Hamilton prediction.

Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound. First, remembering Jules Bianchi. An upsetting death and shocking it's been ten years. Then, our recap of the 2024 Japan Grand Prix. The perfect race for new fans. We discuss why. We also discuss why Daniel Ricciardo will be out of F1 before Logan Sargeant. Yes, really. Why Ferrari already has regrets about switching out Carlos Sainz for Lewis Hamilton. And how much it must anger Christian Horner that Toto Wolff is so much wealthier. Oh, and an impromptu and blistering attack on Williams. A team we once loved.
