Alright, gang! The wait is over, and your favorite band of belated broadcasters are BACK! This time the BFP crew recaps COTA and the Mexican GP!

On this episode:
The crew goes over the end of the cost cap saga and the repercussions of the breech.
Sara gives Sky a talking to, and Breno laments that Red Bull will end their boycott of them.  The crew celebrates the greatest moment in motorsports and shares their love of the oldest grudge in F1! Sara wonders who asked Buxton, gushes about Sam Collins, and gives Gasly a stern warning! Breno takes Sara's place in criticizing the FIA and forgets that Sara had George Russell as her #1 driver for the first half of the season.

So lets get our cowboy hats and sombreros on and order some Tex-Mex because it's the recap for COTA and the Mexican GP!!!

The BFP crew is back again! This time with two very wet races and one very confused World Champion! Time to sink in for a double decker of an episode with lots of rules and regs to go over.

On this episode, the crew goes over the budget cap controversy with a fine tooth comb and find that Max and Checo will have to start bringing their lunch to work.   Sara laments the abrupt end of the W Series season and fights for a seat for  Fittipaldi.
While the crew speculates on Ricciardo's future, Breno attempts to defend Daniel with some of his own "research."  Sara brings the thunder to the FIA, and Breno forgets that Stoffel Vandoorne is the Mercedes reserve driver!

There are no delayed starts or red flags on this pod, and the BFP crew always know when the episode will end! So let's get those water proof air pods on because its time for the Singapore and Suzuka GP race recap!

On this chaotic episode of the pod, the BFP crew attempts to cover three races AND the never ending silly season!  Tensions grow as junior drivers and Indy series pros are vying for the same seat.  Meanwhile, Red Bull has run away with the title, and nobody mentions The One Directive!

Sara decides to add crow to her diet, and issues an apology to the first ever Dutch champion!  Breno misses out on a Guenther t-shirt, and laments the downfall of Ricciardo.   The crew takes a deep dive on whether Ferrari is getting a fair shake from the media, if McLaren's strategy is any good, and on the future Russell/Hamilton rivalry (?).   Also, in an upset no one saw coming, Sara forgets that the famous quote from Matthew McConaughey came from Dazed And Confused!!!

Can anyone stop Max Verstappen? Will Mercedes get a win for Lewis? Where will Ricciardo turn up in 2023?  Can anyone get Breno to stop making RoP references on the pod!?!? Tune in for none of those answers!

Get those ear buds on because it's time for  the Belgium, Dutch, and Italian GP race recaps!!!!

Finally, the summer break news roundup is here! While most of the news covered here might be a bit stale, the hot takes are always fresh and piping hot!

Breno catches us up on all the new 2026 engine regulations and tells Kimi that he will NOT 
have the blankets! In total  BFP fashion we have the inaugural TBFP Midseason Top 5 Drivers List! And in a twist no one saw coming,  Sara decides that she no longer believes in humanity and destroys all our futures with her top 5 from hell!

This and much more on TBFP's Summer News Roundup!

On this chilled out edition of the pod, the dynamic duo is back to catch you up on their summer break misadventures! TBFP pours out a cold to our Australian mate, Daniel Ricciardo, as they try not to (yet again) end the pod all together.

On this episode, the crew has to issue another apology for a terrible mistake they made on a previous episode.  Sara loses all respect for Max, and wishes that Bottas' girlfriend had a better sense of style!   Breno reminds Sara that she was wrong.  The crew relive the ups and inevitable downs of Kimi's race at Watkins Glenn, and discover a new star in Indy!  Sara was right about Herta, and pulls de Vries out from under a Formula E car to let him know he'll never be in F1.  Breno has to endure a Vanity Fair AND a GQ article, and forgets about every Formula 1 driver after they leave the sport!

So lets sit back and relax because it's TBFP's summer break episode!

From the baguette fields of Le Castellet to the goulash plains of Budapest, TBFP comes back at you with another double decker episode! The crew understands that, without anyone's permission, they failed to put out a pod after the French GP.  This is wrong and they intend to make it up to the listening audience.

On this jam packed episode, the BFP crew experiences de ja vu all over again as Ferrari makes some questionable calls.  Breno decides to, against all odds and common sense, defend the folks at Maranello! Sara totally eviscerates another target, and its NOT the FIA (although the FIA does get some of Sara's ire as well).  The crew discuss the silliest of silly season, and Breno actually remembers that the new review center is in Geneva!

 So lets raise our stellas and palinkas and get ready for the Paul Ricard and  Hungaroring race recap!!!!!

Welcome to another edition of TBFP!   As the orange smoke settles, TBFP crew snaps to action to recap an eventful Austrian GP!
The crew reports on the latest news as teams get a much need raise on the cost cap (you won't believe who amongst the team principals did not think it was enough!).  The FIA, as Sara predicted, punts on bouncegate (which has now become flexgate).  Breno gets no reassurances from Mattia Binotto, and pleads for more SPF for Dutch fans.  Sara takes everyone out and catches Pirelli with a stray for good measure.  The crew wonders what the FIA could possibly do to top themselves after this weekend, and Breno forgets to mention plan E!
So lets put on some sun block and be on our best behavior because it's the recap for the Austrian GP!

Welcome back to another edition of TBFP! It's a return to the historic Silverstone circuit
after the massive collision between Max and Lewis last season.  The crew dives in head first into another crazy week in Formula 1. 
Sara and Breno navigate you through all the news leading up to the British GP and the implications on the future of the sport.  Breno sings the praises of Crofty's craft.  Sara gives the FIA the side-eye in another confusing week for bouncegate.  Breno sides with Russell on etiquette at the track, and actually remembers that Russell's radio was from the Hungarian GP but Sara absolutely shuts him down.  Finally, on a shocking turn of events, Sara reveals that she has a new favorite driver! Will Kimi ever recover from this one? Will TBFP crew still make the trip to Watkins Glenn? Does Minttu listen to this pod?
 All this and more on TBFP's recap of the British GP!!!!

As we mourn the passing of a great groundhog, TBFP crew tries to gather themselves for yet another jam packed episode!

The implications for the world championship could not be higher as Breno and Sara do a deep dive into the next great battle brewing in the paddocks, bouncegate!  Should the FIA step in? Which teams will lose out? Can Horner and Toto just get along? Will anyone notice Mattia Binotto?  Was Sara's foresight on  FIA's  new chief, Shaila-Ann Rao, correct?

Breno reports on the sad state of McLaren.  Sara  disagrees with George Russell's qualifying strategy, and Breno forgets about Kimi's 2020 Portuguese GP performance!

All this and much more! So grab some maple syrup and and bowl of poutine because it's TBFP's recap of the Canadian Grand Prix!

Welcome back for another double dose of race recaps!
It's Monaco and Azerbaijan race recaps with news and much more! 

Breno and Sara retell the disastrous couple of weeks for Ferrari! Sara revisits an old segment from TBFP archives. Breno takes no joy in going over in painstaking details the way Ferrari lost the Monaco GP.  Sara gives us more updates on our continuing coverage of Ocon's season.
The crew marvels at Binotto's comments on the championship causing Breno to call upon Herm Edwards for help.  Sara takes a victory lap on Ferrari's strategy, and Breno forgets to add Gasly to his F1 fantasy team. 

So join us for another double stacked pod (but not like a Ferrari double stack) full of good times!
