The highly anticipated return of Formula 1 supporters to Imola for the first time since 2006 saw an absolute shit-show performance from F1 race directors, making us wonder if Michael Masi was still actually at the head of race control once again. Red Bull put in one of its most dominant performances ever, securing maximum points, while the Ferrari's of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc left the Tifosi in tears with their unfortunate performances. The midfield looks as confused as ever, but not as confused as Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. 

Ferrari is on the front foot, the midfield is an absolute enigma, Gunther Steiner is throwing out chirps, and we're back in Italy. 

They came, we saw, Ted Shoey'd. The return to Australia was a race for the record books, with the highest turnout in event history. The Aussies were frothed, but Charles Leclerc outfrothed them with a hat trick on the weekend that saw Ferrari increase its lead over rivals Red Bull and Mercedes. Plus, who owns the midfield with a resurgent McLaren, Albon the tire whisperer, and WTF is going on at Aston Martin? 

After a 3 year, covid induced hiatus, Formula 1 makes it's way back to the land down under for the 2022 Australian Grand Prix. With track changes, re-surfacing, and new aero regs since the 2019 round, it could be anyone's race going into the 3rd round of this Formula 1 season. Maybe except for Aston Martin. 

We're only two races into the 2022 Formula 1 season and the gloves are already out. The pace the prancing horses showed during testing seems to be no fluke as they duked it out with Red Bull who made a stellar comeback after a devastating double DNF at the season opener. The midfield looks tighter than a minx. What the hell is going on with Merc. And we chat biggest winners and losers in this episode of The Grandstand. 

We all knew going into the 2021 Formula 1 season we were in for a battle between the rising Honda powered Red Bull's and the dominant defending champions Mercedes, but not even the producers of drive to survive could have written as much drama into this season as what we witnessed. From Max v Lewis, Red Bull v Merc, Horner v Wolff to Mazepin v Himself, plus all the other incredible storylines from this season, the boys breakdown what was arguably one of the most exciting Formula 1 seasons to date. 

We all saw the race. We all have opinions on it. We all agree Michael Masi's head must roll. 

To any other country looking to host their first Formula 1 Grand Prix, look to Saudi Arabia, where the incredibly fast, insanely unpredictable, and barely complete Jeddah Corniche circuit set the scene for an absolute clusterf*ck of a race that saw Race Control absolutely bottle job their roles. With only one race to go, and Max and Lewis even on points, it's all or nothing going into Abu Dhabi. P Money and F the FIA Knowles debate it all in this episode of The Grandstand. 

For the first time ever, Formula 1 makes its way to Saudi Arabia, raising some questions once again about whether Formula 1 truly abides by its We Race as One slogan. Politics aside, the Saudi GP circuit looks racy AF. With Max maintaining a small lead in the drivers championship, who will come out on top at this incredibly fast circuit? Will Ferrari continue to bring it to McLaren? And - Formula 1 loses a legend with the passing of Sir Frank Williams. 

Formula 1 is hardly a season without a Brazilian GP, and the return to Interlagos, another one of the sports most iconic tracks, was one of the most unforgettable weekends for one Lewis Hamilton, and not so much for the outfit at Red Bull. We have a championship battle on our hands ladies and gentleman, LFGGGG!
