Late Brakes Hot Takes: America's F1 Podcast

We talk a LOT of shit about teams and drivers, and we go up and down giving compliments to the drivers we dislike the most. Plus, what would we do if we were dictators of F1 for just a day? Which rules would we change, who would we ban, and what would we do differently? I heard one host wants to bring Super Soakers in the pitlane. This one gets weird.1

It's called the silly season for a reason. There's nothing better than a bit of driver contract and seat drama to keep the podcast going over the summer break, and just in time to give us something to talk about other than Ferrari. 

Plus we recap where we stand in our preseason hot takes and predictions. Some of us are pretty on point, others are way off, and some we just can't agree on. Join us!

To our listeners - If you love the show, please leave a review. If you hate the show, just leave us a 5-star review and talk trash to us. In all seriousness, give us some feedback and let us know what you want to hear more of in the second half of the season. 

Peace!

We cover... another... Ferrari let down, a Red Bull come back, and we dive deep into the start of the silly season following two big driver announcements. 

We're a bit late this week so rather than our usual race recap, we talk about Ferrari woes, George Russell, Haas and their long-awaited update, and an apology from one of our hosts.

We're pumped for Hungry. 

No race last weekend, but we've got France coming up. We highlight the track, discuss our hottest French takes, drop a few subtle Tour de France references, and give our predictions for the race at Circuit Paul Ricard. 

Despite all of the orange smoke from the Max Verstappen fans, the prevailing color of the weekend was Ferrari Red at the Austrian Grand Prix with Leclerc returning to the top step of the podium after a series of letdown weekends. An exciting weekend in all three sessions at the shortest track of the season, the Red Bull Ring. 

An exciting sprint race saw Lewis Hamilton battling with a Schumacher like it was 2011 again, but this time it was Mick making his last name proud in what was a breakout weekend for the young driver. 

We break it all down and debate both sides of the insanity around 43 track limit violations.

Silverstone showed us an absolutely thrilling race this year. First lap chaos, protestors, the halo proving its value once again, fights from start to finish, and an epic scrap at the end of the race left us with a new Grand Prix winner.  But why is our resident Ferrari fanboy so livid at the results? Is Merc back? Should Checo just decide to start every race from the back so he can battle through the field? Plus a preview of next week's race at the Red Bull Ring. On man this is a good one, join us!

We're back after a quick break with our reactions from the Canadian GP, which saw a fun but wet quali session followed by a race with glimpses of Mercades speed. A dominant performance from Max and a fight through the field from LeClerc after taking an engine penalty. We preview the upcoming race at Silverstone and one of our hosts falls into last place in our season-long prediction battle! 

An eventful 2022 Baku Grand Prix. Red Bull sweeps a 1-2 after another disaster of a weekend for Ferrari and all their engine customer teams. Mercedes pogo stick issue return and Lewis Hamilton goes to the chiropractor. We break down everything from the race, the latest drama over ride heights, driver "safety", and a preview of the Maple Syrup Grand Prix. 

After a weekend of no Formula 1, the LBHT crew dives into the latest controversy around the driver contract market, we celebrate Sergio Perez and his new deal with Red Bull Racing, and discuss what that may set in motion. Plus a preview of the upcoming race in Baku!
