Purple Sector: F1 Podcast

Tune in for our rapid recap of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix!

Since we are abroad right now, the show has gone "unplugged" even though the headphones we recorded with are technically plugged in.

Lando Norris finally won a race!

Can McLaren close the gap to Ferrari (and maybe even Red Bull) in the Constructors Championship?  Will Lando cash in more race victories now that the pressure is off?

F1 is speeding up as we continue charging through the season with the next race at Imola this weekend!

Can Max Verstappen make it a hat trick with his 3rd Miami GP victory?  Will any of our bold predictions hit?  Will you whip up a Cuban Sandwich, Cuban Coffee, and Cuba Libre for Formula Brunch?

Tune in for our recap of the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix!

It was a fun weekend full of grass on fire, Zhou Guanyu Zhou crying, Lance Stroll crashing, Fernando Alonso passing, and Max Verstappen winning.

The wearable F1 trophy was also very cool.

We kick things off with some MailBoxBoxBox and breaking news.  Listeners delivered with tasty Formula Brunch spreads for Japan.  Fernando Alonso extended with Aston Martin.  Logan Sargeant and Daniel Ricciardo are racing on thin ice.  Helmut Marko is oversharing again.

F1 returns to Shanghai after a 5 year hiatus.  There is more gravel and new paint on the asphalt.  It is the first Sprint of the season.  The trophy looks awesome.  Alex Albon has a panda helmet.  We are VERY excited for this Grand Prix weekend!

Tune in for our breakdown of the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix!

Cherry Blossoms were blooming and Williams was wrecking.  Yuki Tsunoda scored a point for the Japanese faithful in his home Grand Prix.  Carlos Sainz continued his hot start with another podium.  We saw tons of ballsy overtakes around 130R at Suzuka.  The trophy looked like an AI-generated "F1 cup trophy."  Red Bull did what Red Bull does with a 1-2 for Max Verstappen and Checo Perez.

We get you ready for what will be an awesome race at the epic Suzuka International Racing Course by touching on past performances, bold predictions, and what makes this track so special.  We also tease some of the specialty helmet designs, a new livery, and a unique word for light rain.  Be sure to send us your Formula Brunch spreads and root for your F1 FANtasy Tsunoda stack.

There are also some rumors swirling in the Mercedes driver market that would crank up the Silly Season...

Tune in for our breakdown of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix!

Max Verstappen had a rare mechanical failure and did NOT win.  Carlos Sainz had no appendix and DID win.  Alex Albon stole Logan Sargeant's car thanks to Microsoft Excel.  Kick/Stake/Audi Sauber can't stop cross-threading wheel nuts.  Alpine are maybe not hot garbage but just garbage?

We discuss all the F1 happenings on, off, and around the track from what was a shockingly different Grand Prix from what we have been used to recently!

We kick things off with some breaking F1 news about the soap off the track that is lathering up, Zak Brown getting extended as McLaren CEO, and Fun Valtteri taking over Melbourne.

Then we head down under to Albert Park Circuit to discuss Williams sidelining Logan Sargeant for Alex Albon since they use Microsoft Excel to track their spare parts.  Hopefully, 4 DRS Zones will give us an exciting race and a new race winner outside of Max Verstappen and Red Bull.  We also chat about Formula Brunch and F1 Fantasy.

Tune in for our recap of the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah!

There was more smoke billowing out of Red Bull.  Not from the cars but off the track in the media.  Their cars took care of business again with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez bagging another 1-2.

Ollie Bearman had his coming out party in Ferrari red and gave the Tifosi more than 0.0% effort.  Kevin Magnussen thumbed his nose at multiple penalties by backing up the pack of backmarkers so Nico Hülkenberg could snatch a point.  Lance Stroll hit the fucking wall.  Rose water failed to deliver on the F1 podium per usual, but this episode will deliver all the details and laughs!

However, the soap off the track must be dealt with first.  We do a deep dive on the smoke surrounding Christian Horner which has now enveloped Max Verstappen and more craziness.  We figure out why Alpine is such a mess at the moment.  Also, we touch on the investigation into FIA race interference and the sort of "unveiling" of the F1 track at Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia (in 2028).

The news kept breaking when Carlos Sainz was just announced as out for the race this weekend!  He will be replaced by Ollie Bearman, and we discuss that news, preview the race, make bold predictions, and recap the happenings in our F1 Fantasy league.
