After a few weeks of a midseason break, F1 is back and this time its taking a tour of the America's starting in Austin and the Circuit of the Americas for the US Grand Prix. We're down to only six races left in the F1 calendar and hosts Alex Kirry and Dan Jimenez breakdown not just this weekend's race in Texas but how the rest of the season could shake out in what has become a very interesting constructors title race but also what we hope will be a close Driver's Championship.  Dan also gets into the nitty gritty on Red Bull's use of a "device" that allowed right height to be changed secretly between qualifying and the race.  With only a slap on the wrist, is it enough punishment? Finally, the guys chop it up on the rumors of the new driver's on the grid and give out their dream and real podium predictions.   

Hosts Alex Kirry and Dan Jimenez jam during this F1 mini vacation talking ab out the Singapore GP, guess how the WDC and Constructors titles will end up.  Daniel Ricciardo is unceremoniously stripped of his seat at RB/VCARD and it looks as though the Honey Badger might be totally done in the sport.  McLaren and Lando Norris have found something extra that could put him over the top vs. Max in the driver's championship but will there be enough time to catch the reigning 3X champion? Ferrari had a disasterous Singapore and Mercedes doesn't appear to have what it takes to take the next step to keep contending this season.  McLaren is currently the team to beat.  Plus, the race in Austin looms at COTA this month.  This could be an exciting final stretch of the season.  

Hosts Dan Jimenez and Alex Kirry review how Monza and the Italian GP went as Red Bull is being rundown by other teams on the grid.  Charles Leclerc got a career win at the temple of speed but it was McLaren who is getting closer and closer in the constructors title race to Red Bull as both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris battled one another for a race win but ended up leaving Norris further from Max Verstappen than he could have been.  Can Baku deliver another unpredictable race?  Plus, the guys discuss the move of F1's most famed technical director, Adrian Newey from Red Bull to Aston Martin.  Lawrence Stroll won the sweepstakes for the winningest car desgner of all-time. Will it change the fortunes for Aston?  

George Russell pulled off one of the most impressive wins of the 2024 F1 season but it only lasted a short time as the FIA ruled that his car was underweight by a mere 1.5KG and Lewis Hamilton, who finished 2nd, was suddenly thrust into his second win of the season.  Dan and Alex discuss the wild ride that Spa was, and a lok forward to the driver market and silly season as the summer break starts up and only 10 more races await after the teams get a quick vacation in.  The guys also discuss the move for Carlos Sainz to Williams and who will fill the other empty seats in F1 come the 2025 season.  

Alex Kirry and Dan Jimenez get you ready for the final race before the Formula 1 summer break.  Last week's race in Hungary gave F1 fans a McLaren 1-2 finish for the first time since 1999 and Oscar Piastri got his first GP win in F1 in his career but it didn't come without any drama.  The McLaren garage had to plead with Lando Norris to give the 1st place position to Piastri after the team had swapped the drivers to avoid a potential undercut by another team.  This was met with some stubborn, awkward conversations over the team radio and eventually Piastri was able to win.  McLaren has a good problem which is being the fastest team on the grid but still have some kinks to work out from the team strategy standpoint.  The guys talk the Red Bull drama, Mercedes new-found success and preview the Belgian GP at Spa.  Take a listen!

Dan Jimenez and Alex Kirry get together for their weekly episode to preview the Hungarian GP.  Will Lewis Hamilton capture lightning in a bottle like he did at Silverstone?  Can McLaren cash in on their recent pace and finally get another win?  The guys talk about the news breaking today that Kevin Magnassen won't rejoin Haas next season on the F1 grid and we likely won't see K-Mag won't ever make it back to the grid.  Plus, is there a way that Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes can keep Red Bull in the rearview or will Max comeback to remind the rest of the paddock who the current 3-time world champion is.  

Mercedes had a little bit of luck and a massive amount of improvement over a short span that has now equaled wins in both the Austrian GP and the British Grand Prix.  With Max Verstappen and Lando Norris crashing one another out of the Austrian GP, George Russell took advantage and notched Mercedes first win of the season.  In an even more historic British GP, Sir Lewis Hamilton was able to outlast both Red Bull and McLaren (with a little help from some poor McLaren strategy) for his 9th win at his home GP and his first win in almost 1000 days.  An emotional win for Hamilton, to be sure.  Plus, what on earth is happeneing to Checo Perez?  Can Lando get within striking distance of Max in the WDC race?  Take a listen!!  

The F1 grid moves to on to round two of the European triple header this week the drivers find themselves in Austria at the Red Bull Ring where Max Verstappen will be racing in front of a Red Bull-heavy crowd and looking for yet another win on the calendar.  Dan JImenez and Alex Kirry talk about the driver lineups that are working and the drivers who are fighting to stay somewhere close to the Dutch master incase he has engine reliability.  The reality is, the rest of the field is a lot closer to the top b ut does that mean that can make a close race out of it and shave down on the driver's championship.  The guys make their predictions for podium finishes with real podiums and dream podiums given how wild the racing has become.  

Hosts Dan Jimenez and Alex Kirry recap one of the more exciting races of the season after a wet, crash-filled Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.  Max wins again but Lando Norris was right on his heels and Mercedes ends up with one of their best races of the season.  Ferrari would prefer to forget their weekend with a double DNF.  

Dan then gives us the download of the new car regulations and specs for the 2026 season.  The changes to the car will be significant and with the driver market always changing, teams and drivers are trying their best to see who will get the new regs right and who will fall behind in development.  

Hosts Dan Jimenez and Alex Kirry are back to review the Monaco GP that gave us a Charles LeClerc first-ever win in his home GP and has made the F1 Championship standings more competitive than we've seen since 2021.  Have Ferrari and McLaren made enough improvements to challenge Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing the rest of the season?  Plus, Ocon is out at Alpine, Checo is back at Red Bull (2 more years!) and the rest of the 2025 seats that are up for grabs are both exciting and chaotic.  Dan and Alex both give their podium predictions for a wet Canadian GP weekend as we are in the middle of one of the most wild times in recent F1 history.
