The Brakedown

The Bahrain race has been rescheduled but not in Bahrain instead we have this race take part in Malaysia. The first time the F1 calendar has revisited this circuit in 9 years and it sure did not disappoint. From both Aston visiting Q2 for the first time and Max getting his first pole the race weekend was shaping up to be quite exciting. Monson rains had the threat of a wet race hanging over our heads, yet it was never meant to be as a lengthy delay caused quite a tire split in strategy. Lets just say it was a fun race!

From "Blah" to "Bwoah", the Azerbaijan grand Prix had us snoozing in the first half, not gonna lie. But the second half? Electric! Join us on this week's episode of the Brakedown as we discuss the multiple safety cars, the absolute chaos of alpine and mclaren, and some major mess-ups from usually front-of-the-field performers.

With eight wins this season, Antonelli’s first place trophies now outnumber George Russell’s entire career wins in F1. Ouch.

That’s right, Antonelli has won the inaugural race at the new Madring track in Madrid. No man-hole covers exploding or last minute welding needed on this inaugural race.

Join us on this episode of the Brakedown as we discuss the characteristics of this new circuit, McLaren’s no good very bad pit stop (strategy), and Mercedes’ need to choose a number one driver (and what that means for Kimi's future).

McLaren back on TOP baybeeeee! (Let me live my delusional papaya life that McLaren will win every race from this day on and clinch the Constructors ~ Lucy). 

With so many teams bringing upgrades, this weekend saw an upset in our usual world order. Mercedes, although on the podium (with Kimi… of course - come on George, get it together!), Merc we're nowhere near as dominant as they have been. Join us on this week’s episode of The Brakedown as we chat McLaren’s win and misfortune, Ferrari’s slipping strategy, and Aston Martin’s 16 upgrades.

At 19, Kimi Antonelli leads the WDC by 50 points. Thanks to George’s misfortune, and some stellar driving, Kimi came out of this weekend with a haul of 25 points to George Russell’s zero. Join us this week on The Brakedown as we dissect the chaos of Silverstone, discuss the rumours about Max’s future, and the surprising competence of Ferrari’s double stack.

Austria, aka. the red bull ring. It's only appropriate that Max Verstappen should once again be on the podium. Join us on this episode of The Brakedown as we discuss all the details of the Austrian Grand Prix both on and off the track. From a wild Q3 to George’s win to the closing gaps in the championship race, Austria may have had a snooze of a race, but it definitely brought the drama!

Join us this week on the Brakedown where we talk all things Barcelona. This track a brand new Hamilton out: refreshed and ready to take the fight to Mercedes. And fight he did! Hamilton has one his first race with Ferrari (first of many we hope). With another Mercedes DNF (we won't spoil who) will there be a championship battle this year? However, this is yet another race where not all 22 cars finish.. Will we get a race where all the cars finish in 2026, whos to say.

Formula One’s most prestigious race has come and gone, and Kimi Antonelli has won the Monaco Grand Prix at just nineteen years old! Join us on this episode of the Brakedown as we discuss a full restart, seven cars out of the race, ripped up tarmac and the glitz and glamour off-track that all lead to an unexpectedly exciting Sunday in Monaco.

Montreal, my absolute fave, you delivered this past week. The Habs are even with the South Carolina Hurricanes, the Victoire won the Walter Cup, and F1 has more DNF’s than I do dollars in my bank account. 👏🏻

Join us on this week’s episode of The Brakedown as we discuss the hockey/F1 crossover this weekend, the updates brought to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and the increasingly heated rivalry in the Mercedes garages.
