Welcome back Midfielders!

It's the summer break, so it's time for us to kick back and let our friends do all the work! We brought in our best bud Mark Schofield for another go around. He's got great news and even greater picks, so let's slither like snakes on into this one!

14:20 - We get to know our good buddy Mark and he tells us the Chihuahua Story. Then it's finally time for some race cars. We go over who's been most impressive during the first half of the season, and give Mark the keys to the kingdom.

45:50 - On to the fooseball! We burn our picks of the AFC and then the NFC. A few surprises and a few obvious choices. As always with Mark, we make our Superbowl predictions and laugh at the AFC South. Sorry gang.

It's always hard to say goodbye to our friend, but you don't have to! Be sure to follow Mark and his colleagues over at SBnation, and as always follow the Midfield on Threads every raceday and all of our socials and patreon! Links below!

  Welcome back Midfielders!

We had a little hiatus in the studio so we've got a jam packed episode of a DOUBLE recap to get into, but first, Dan's got some housekeeping to do for a change! We move some midfield constructors around and get into all the juicy details of two of our favorite tracks of the year. Let's burn some rubbah!

11:55 - All straightened up and ready to rock, we head back in time! Patrick doesn't know flags, and Dan botches a Dumb and Dumber quote- a rarity folks, believe me. We get real juicy. Too many kids at the races! Curious does big arms, and Dan gives us a lesson as to where they came from. Ollie bloops.

29:06 - Spa's outta the way and it's onto the Hungaroring! You cheeky ****'s Aston Martin! No upgrades... pshhh... get outta here. It's been a grip, so we find some nice things to say about our green boi. Tomfoolery and Space Invaders, super-cool double-helicopter shots! Tip of the cap to you F1 production teams. Bad Ollie, bad.

45:00 - A couple fun Darth moments, cause why not? Sister teams and other gripes. 2 teams 3 cars you know the deal. Chucks got a case of the THINGS and maybe this leads to other things? Maybe some cheatin' afoot?! We can only pray that Ferrari's "chassis" is okay.

55:55 - Sauber gets passed in the standings but still looks strong. Dan poses a great hypothetical that would have required a wellness check last February. Only God himself can drive the Redbull, just ask Yuki. Can Williams' early season points hold them till the end? Or will we maybe see a second-half resurgence on the grid for our boys in blue? Albon's done for the year.

  Welcome BACK Midfielders!

We've got another humdinger of an episode! We're halfway through the season and it's time to set our expectations and speculations for the remainder of '25. We break it down team by team and then look ahead again to Spa, again. My elder-cat has taken up residence on my lower back as I type this, so let's dive in!

9:35 - Is Ferrari stepping out like Lewis' slippery back end? Without much discernable motivation, we think these guys will be pumping the brakes real hard. We dip into Mercedes and have some trouble navigating those waters without saying the NAME yet again. Dan get's down with a TRIPLE DING!

10:45 - Check the tape baby! Patrick shares his vast knowledge of German culture, and with that his thoughts for Mercedes' plan for the rest of the season. Is the great Ding-a-nator in the perfect pickle? We snack some beans and load up the scoreboard yet again. Beef Ramen.

20:40 - What is happening at Red Bull? We have no clue, and we're concerned; neither do they. The biggest question mark, the thickest of fogs, we sense a gutting of the Jr's in the future. Otmar with a pimp cup. We can predict the future while stroking our egos. Bits and bobs.

27:25 - Yet. Another. Bean. Sweet packages bro.

45:20 - House money for Sauber. Put it all on black and green and let it ride baby! Keep that gravy train a-rollin'! The Jr's are also a huge question mark, as they'll certainly be gutted. At least the barometer will still be around. 

49:10 - Aston gets the airtime they deserve and it's on to Haas. Can the bad bois just try-hard their way past the Aston's in the latter stages. Likely! Probably without even trying that hard. Just keep it out of the penalty box Ollie.

Patrick, Cameron and Dan start with some cycling 101 questions and then dive in to the first week of racing from the Tour de France. 

What impressed us the most from week 1? 

Who was disappointing in the opening week? 

What is a Peloton? 

What should I be looking out for in week 2? 

All those questions and plenty more on the latest episode of the Midfield.

Welcome back Midfielders!

  Another off week for racers, but we're keeping the grind alive! We do a lil' housekeeping from last week's episode, and then give our first half of the season "headlines". The beans of misfortune rear their ugly heads again, so let's get buckled in and listen to Patrick battle a fan!

16:00 - Just a few stories in and already having a blast! We touch on the Frenchies, Hulkster and the Green Machines, and the Great Driver Shuffle of 2025. Man do we love the Scottish! Jr's and Sr's, and the Darth-Mercedes conspiracy, all the good stuffs. Toto get's a bean!

27:20 - Red cars' mystical-magical consistency machine! 5 and 6 = 2, 'cause maths. The Pittsburg Steelers of F1. We find the Mercedes issue to be the rookie, as G***** makes Patty have another bean. 7-14 Dan over Patrick in the battle of the beans. To fold or not to fold? That is the question.

44:55 - All the gross-bean action you've been waiting for!

Prost Midfielders!

  You already know it's gonna be a Hulk heavy episode! Us, them, they, everyone and their dog is all Kick Sauber right now. As the man who carried us to our P10 challenge victory in '24, we have long-tenured adoration for our midfield maniac. One of the original Bad Bois of Haas, our Midfield caps are off to you Nico, way to honk.

22:00 - P2! - ish? We're working our way through, this is why we don't usually give Patrick the reigns. James Vowells and finger guns baby! Stay on track, stay focused. Get over your bleeding eyes, and go put 'em on Ollie hitting the wall in his pit lane approach. Truly a thing of beauty, as we crown our next Bad Boi.

33:05 - Quali time! Have we mentioned we love Silverstone yet? Just in case, we'll do it a few more times. Put more fuel in me boy! Dan ends up being the winner of the Williams V. Aston battle we sort of paid attention to over the weekend. Becketts and maggots and plurals and dorks.

42:35 - We hate the youth! Anti-mega! We're finally to race day! Guess what? Checo's not here! There's also a missed ding in here, but it can be our lil' secret. We break down this week's P10 pick mayhem. KMAG sighting! We derail yet again, big surprise.

55:35 - Bean

73:15 - Benotto hair cut? Lance is a potty mouth and a poor sport, so we decided to skip saying nice things about him this week. We get REALLY excited for a race coming up in a few weeks. It's our favorite so we jumped the gun a lil bit. Don't forget your rubber chunks!

Cameron and Dan look at each of the 23 team rosters ahead of the 2025 Tour de France. Who will win? Who's the best sprinter? Who can take home the polka dot jersey?

  Heyo Midfielders!

Put another shrimp on the barbie, we're in Austria this week! Who-dang! Whatta race, Dan loves it, Patrick is on the cusp. Orange cars for a lot of the camera action this weekend, can we find a way to dig up the midfield, in a race that was mostly Papaya dominated? You bet we can.

17:05 - We love a Redbull double-suck finish. Darth out early and relying on Yuki? Yes please, we'll be saying his name before the end of the year, mark my text. Either way, he's got a perfect ass, and can't be bothered to try to restart after running getting run into... I digress. We drop a sidebar, to decide who's in and who's out of the bottom half of the midfield.

29:00 - All of Sauber and Liam BACK into the The Midfield talkie contention! Lift and coast please Chuck! Not listening=not arguing, Ferrari has the same mentality as our podcast! Netflix shot! That's what you get for coming in like a wrecking ball.

41:00 - Ricky Bortoleto, not sure what to do with his hands. Dano recaps his P10 selection without the heart and soul of the team this weekend, as Patty was in the Northwoods. All maths and no feelings got us hammered this weekend, and we may not even still be in the running this year, but Patrick doesn't know, cause he can't find the P10 Challenge standings or our own Patreon. We're a frenchie-sized mess most weeks.

46:55 - Haas an option? Dan is delirious? Irregardless he's got an idea for Silverstone. We're picking teams this weekend. Its a Midfield Podcast; Aston V. Williams Weekend! Hold on to your hiccups, it's gonna be a good'n! Dan likes bikes like a dork. Bike-Dork. Give yourself a Harry Benjamin.

Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode of The Midfield Podcast! Be sure to join in the race day shenanigans over on Threads, say hi to Patty on FB cause he's old, and check out our Patreon for us gaggin' on beans and makin' P10 picks! Keep those fingers crossed, and elbows out!

  Welcome to another episode of The Midfield Podcast! 

Dan's got the juices flowin' again as we're out of the stretch of the season we here at The Midfield Podcast find to be a bit on the tedious side, so look out! The man only wants some rigidity! It's a 10-6 bean blowout in favor of Dan, will Patrick continue his cold streak? Or will we finally figure out who we can talk about, and go beanless? Oooh the excitement!

5:45 - Bean!

23:50 - We wrap up the Cadillac draft, and look ahead to Patrick's BIG question. Tattoos! So much Caddy speculation it'll make yer head spin, but in a good way. Are the old dogs as washed as our midwestern keisters? Dan's sarcasm is really, REALLY thick in this one, and Patrick makes the dumbest joke ever.

32:30 - Juuuust kidding, now we ACTUALLY finalize the fantasy draft, for realsies this time I swear. It's a really intense and dramatic finish though, so all the hooplah is definitely worth it. Dan's got beef with track limits.

  Hey hey Midfielders!

Welcome to another groundbreaking episode of The Midfield Podcast! We talk midfield and nothing else! Well okay, sometimes we goof that up, but we pay for it dearly when it happens. We're tearing into the Canadian Grand Prix in all of its glory. Join us, drink the punch!

21:30 - Just like Williams, we're hot out of the gate, and hanging on for dear life by the end. Cat wrastlin'! We get through practice, quali, AND the race! Imagine that! We have differing opinions about the overall outcome and satisfactory product of the overall race. We dip into this weekend like a Canadian's arms in pudding.

42:40 - Trees are cool, Darth- less so. We talk MOVIES! Cause nobody's talking about the F1 Movie coming out, but we can't help ourselves. Dan's already got his candy stowed under his shirt to sneak into the theater. Science remains undefeated.

Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode! We love to chat it up during the races over on Threads. Be sure to check out our FREE bonus content over on our Patreon, and as always, keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!
