Last week we talked about the real reason Ross Brawn left Mercedes - this week Toto Wolf says that he's not mad at Ross. Sir Frank Williams is in hospital recovering from pneumonia, we wish him a speedy recovery. Malaysia is considering dropping F1 due to declining attendance - and Austin wants to move to a new date, or have Mexico move to a new date. It's been a few weeks since Bernie delivered a head shaking moment - but not to worry he delivered. Things are still unclear in the mid-grid drivers market, and this week is the Mexican Grand Prix.

This week is the Worst Case Scenario for many in the Mid-West - and we'll tell you why... Ross Brawn explains why he retired from F1, it turns out he wasn't doing the Murtaugh. Sebastian Vettel announces that he's suspended negotiations with Ferrari for 2018 - is that a big deal or not? Lewis will be in a video game. More driver announcements are getting made, some we expected and some we didn't. Jolyon Palmer isn't happy with Renault. And this week is the US Grand Prix in Austin and as the season winds down it's becoming likely that Nico Rosberg will win the Driver's Championship - but is he a "worthy" champion? That's what the BBC was asking this week.

Before we can even talk about F1 - we've got to talk about a hometown team that we have some interest in. We're not Cavaliers fans, and certainly not Browns fans - but the Cleveland Indians are 2 games away from the World Series and we're rooting for them... Former Porsche LMP-1 driver and number 2 F1 driver (kidding!) Mark Webber has announced his retirement from auto racing at the end of the WEC season... While we think it's unlikely to happen - NBCSN should take notice that there's yet another experienced F1 expert who would make a brilliant addition to their broadcast team. Ferrari's ex-engineer says that the team is in turmoil. Pat Symonds calls Williams' development efforts this year "remarkably stagnant." Mercedes is loosing a lot of money, but not as much as we first thought and Silly Season is finally getting interesting.

It's been long two weeks since our last show - but we're back! The 2016 IndyCar season has wrapped up - and we know what Alexander Rossi will be doing in 2017 (hint - it won't be in Formula 1), and another team has decided to throw their lot in with Honda based on past partnerships and not current performance. Over in F1 - Sergio Perez is confirmed for Force India in 2017, for real this time. Chase Carey says F1 can't be run as a dictatorship - but can't be run by committee. Which not sure what that leaves him. Maurizio Arrivabene got in trouble in Singapore - or did he? Monisha Keltenbourne disappoints Patricia - again... Malaysia was a great race - that Patricia missed... And we still have a title race on our hands....

You don't get a lot of us this month as we found the demands of life pulling us a way from our Podcast Studio - no show next week or the week after, but we'll be back in time for Suzuka and Japanese Grand Prix. We're still talking about the recent sale of F1 to Liberty Media. There's still a lot of questions being asked about what Liberty's strategy will be and what Bernie Ecclestone's role will be. We were expecting several questions about the driver's market to get answered this week - but none of them were. F1 is back at the night race that started it all. Others have tried to copy it, but none have done it better than Singapore under the lights.

We go away for a week and things go insane... Monza signs a three year deal - Imola takes them to court Mass announces his retirement, Jenson Button announces that he has a new contract, but isn't driving, and isn't retiring. Renault says that the'll announce drivers by Singapore, unless they decide not to. Red Bull/Toro Rosso's new phenom starts a rumor and gets in trouble. Oh yeah and Formula 1 was sold...
