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

It was great to have F1 back on the track, but the most exciting moments came from Free Practice 2 and the cooldown lap.  Mercedes dazzled in FP2 as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell claimed a 1-2, but it became obvious that Red Bull and Ferrari had turned down their engines.  Max Verstappen cruised to victory, Charles Leclerc had brake issues, and Alpine were hot garbage.  The fireworks came after the checkered flag was waved when Yuki Tsunoda dove down the inside of teammate Daniel Ricciardo on the cooldown lap and cursed out the team orders on his radio.  In the end, it was good to see live racing action, and the soap off the track is building up to a massive lather.

We kick things off with some voicemails in the MailBoxBoxBox touching on Rich Energy, Andretti-Cadillac, and Carlos Sainz.  Then we get into some breaking news and review the results from F1 preseason testing.

This weekend brings us the 20th running of the Bahrain Grand Prix to start the 2024 season and answers to our many offseason questions.  It looks like the Middle Eastern races are being moved up to Saturdays this season so get ready for Friday Qualifying and a Saturday race.  We are hoping the abrasive track surface will deliver multiple stops, Safety Cars, and a rainbow podium.

Tune in for our discussion on Lewis Hamilton's shocking switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season!

After a dozen years driving for Mercedes in F1, Lewis Hamilton will be jumping ship to join Scuderia Ferrari in 2025.  We cover everything he had to say about his decision, how Toto Wolff found out, what drivers Damon Hill and Jenson Button think about the move, and where this leaves Carlos Sainz.

We also ponder his potential replacement at Mercedes, discuss his rumored salary, and wonder what else may happen in what should be a bonkers Silly Season after this domino fell!

Tune in for lifestyle brand Purple Sector's latest episode!

We discuss breaking news on Haas' Team Principal shakeup and Sauber's ridiculous new name.  We also make a pit stop in the MailBoxBoxBox.

Günther Steiner is out and Ayaoooooo Komatsu is in as the new Haas Team Principal.  We speculate on what Gene Haas may be thinking, why Steiner got bounced, and what to expect from Ayaooooo.  Stake (and Kick) are Sauber's new title sponsors and will provide us with the ridiculous team name of Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber before they become Audi's factory team in a couple seasons.

The MailBoxBoxBox asked some hard hitting host questions, and we got some feedback on our Las Vegas Grand Rixcap.  Hit us up so you can become a guest cohost!

Tune in for the reveal of our top 10 Formula 1 drivers of 2023!

We analyze the Team Principals', Drivers', and Purple Sector's top 10 F1 drivers of last season.  There were some new entries, risers, fallers, snubs, and shocks.  Max Verstappen was obviously the consenus #1 on every list (spoiler alert).  We also broke the rules because 10 is never enough for us...

Who got left out? Who was too high or too low? Let us know your thoughts.

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

The 2023 F1 season is done and dusted, and there was no stoppin' Max Verstappen.  McLaren had a special livery for the season finale that reminded us of Fruit Stripe Gum.  Logan Sargeant registered an imperfect Qualifying for the year by failing to best his teammate Alex Albon in a single Saturday session this season.  Sergio "Checo" Perez had a sloppy weekend as he continued wrestling with his Red Bull.  "Undercut" was the word of the day on Sunday. 

The most exciting part of the race was when Yuki Tsunoda became the second Japanese driver in F1 history to lead a Grand Prix.  This feat along with Max Verstappen's kind words on postrace radio were a fitting send off for AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost AKA French Toast.

Another exciting season of F1 is in the books, and now we speed toward 2024 car reveals, offseason soap off the track, and the 2024 Formula 1 season!

Tune in for our breakdown of the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix!

The Netflix Cup kicked off the festivities (and we talked way too much about it in this episode).

The Opening Ceremony actually entertained before water valve covers maimed Carlos Sainz's car in FP1.

Charles Leclerc had himself a Saturday (and Sunday no thanks to the stewards).

The Sphere was probably the only bigger winner than Max Verstappen over this sinful Formula 1 weekend!

Tune in for our preview of the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix!

We are joined by legendary bookmaker John Murray of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook for boots on the ground intel. 

We talk desert temperatures at night, the Sphere, ticket and hotel prices, the Bellagio Shoey Bar, and all the pageantry on tap for what will be an crazy week of F1.  John also gives us a peek behind the glass at what bets they have already taken on the race winner and explains to us what he has been hearing about all the construction from the locals.

This race will be insane on, off, and around the track!

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

Max Verstappen kept winning.  Lando Norris loves 2nd Place.  Fernando Alonso felt like a kid again in his epic battle with Checo Perez.  Ferrari made another mess before the race.  Valtteri Bottas had a moustache as a baby?  Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, and Toto Wolff are talking more trash about their car.

This was a fun F1 Sprint weekend!
