The Midfield Pod

Welcome back, MFers. Boy have we got a full episode for you this time. We covered all eleven teams for the first time in Midfield Pod history. We trimmed the fat and added plenty of teams and drivers to our "No Talkies" list. 

1:00 - Do we hate the new regulation set? 

15:30 - Mercedes' Dominance in Melbourne 

24:25 - Ferrari gonna Ferrari 

35:10 - Is McLaren cooked? Andy and Patrick make an intriguing bet. 

45:00 - First *DING* of the 2026 Season 

50:45 - Is Red Bull suddenly likable with Christian Horner and Helmut Marko out of the picture? Will the RB2 be drivable this season? 

60:30 - Haas are Kings of the Midfield after just one race. We really like one of their drivers. 

1:09:05 - Racing Bulls showed out well in Quali, but fell back a bit during the race. We gotta do something about Arvid Lindblad's name. There's just too many D's to say it correctly. Someone please help us with a nickname here. 

1:13:45 - Audi has piqued our interest with two very likable drivers, the "best looking car on the grid" and a Team Principal that is a lover, not a hater. 

1:18:15 - Alpine...that's it, that's the tweet. Hard to say nice things with Flavio in charge. 

1:24:20 - Williams is fat. Who are we to judge for being a bit overweight? 

1:30:35 - The AMERICAN team, Cadillac, finished their inaugural Grand Prix over the weekend. Turns out F1 is pretty difficult and they have a lot of work to do. 

1:34:00 - ASSton Martin

  G'day Midfielders!

Welcome to yet another off season episode. In these doldrums of Formula 1 racing, we like to bring in the big guns to help us cut through our hot, speculative takes. Old school MF'ers will remember our guest from many moons ago, that's right, we're goin' international! Rod from SUPERLICENSE is back with us, all the way from down undah! Once again, it's a right ol' hoot.

13:10 - You're biased! And we can't get over Rod being from another country, we might stop fanboying by the end of the episode, odds not great, but hey, you talk to someone on a whole 'nother continent and you'll feel good about yourself too! Is this the year of the George?! Toto's "flopping it out" so let's hope so! Preseason P10 picks!

24:30 - Overachieve, underachieve, green jacket-gold jacket, we are the king speculaTORS! Liam Lawsoms. Cadi, Audi, nobody is safe from what we think will happen next year. We talk about the Terminator and Patrick doesn't do his Arnold impression, what is this world coming to? Karl Malone?

36:05 - This episode's as good as a Redbull strategy. We're havin' fun here. Bikes? Not yet Dano. "When ya see the baby". Tennis though! Still over Patrick's head but we'll dip a toe. Don't shake hands with kids. Is it off the rails if there were never any rails to begin with? 0 Toaderance Policy.

43:50 - More questionable trivia! Will Rod be able to save Patrick from his inevitable demise? Key word, inevitable. It's a name game this time around, easy-peasy right?

Thanks again for tuning in to this week's episode! Be sure to check out all of Rod's latest stuff from SUPERLICENSE  F1 Podcast on YouTube and Spotify! Until next time, keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!

  Hey there MF'ers!

It's everyone's favorite time of year, new livery season! The smell of fresh paint and burning rubber as a few teams are already hitting the track. We dive in to a few of our favorite, and not so favorite liveries, and play some Questionable Trivia! All with our good friend and co-host Andy! Let's dive in!

9:05 - Special shoes! Starting off sharp with the Haas. Keeping it clean, simple and refined, similar to last year but still a good classic look. We're hoping Haas pulls off a few fun special liveries throughout the season. Rebull looking even more similar to last year's car than the Haas team? If it ain't broke...

15:00 - Audi comin' in HAWT with they're color scheming. Possibly ripping off the McLaren chrome look from last year at Silverstone. It does in fact go to the moon, and the orange inside the intake is a dastardly look. 

22:35 - The Mercs, Andy hates 'em. Patrick didn't really look at it and overall we're not too impressed. Quite possibly ruined their car and their season with this total hackjob of a livery. The And-1's of 2026 F1.

29:20 - Let's enjoy talking about Alpine while we still can! Leaning in on the pink is favorable to all of us here at the Midfield Pod. Dan finds a weird shovel and digs a weird hole for a bit. Let's hope they can drive as well as they can paint this year.

33:50 - Boo! Ferrari Boo! We like red cars. Sold their soul for an ugly car. No such thing as bad press, but there is such a thing as a bad livery.

40:50 - Been a long time since I rock 'n rolled. Andy and Patrick agree that there needs to be some gold on this car in some form or another. Looks fake without any sponsorships adorned, but we like the initial look for our American team. Little Williams chat to round things out.

51:30 - This game is the worst thing Patrick participates in every year. What is, Questionable Trivia! Even with Andy's help, he still can't figure out how to crack Dan's questionable questions. Dan slides in some bike racing just for kicks.

Thanks again for tuning in to this week's episode of the Midfield Podcast. Be sure to follow us on Threads as the season kicks off. And as always, keep those fingers crossed, and elbows out!

  Welcome to a new year with The Midfield Podcast! 

We talk the darts, we talk the F1, and we even talk the unmentionables. We've got our New Year's resolutions locked in and ready to share. We won't talk about how many we've already broken, but the gloves are off for an official sidebar, so buckle in!

15:30 - Enough being dorks about the World Dart Championships, time for being dorks about next year's flock of F1 teams. We enact a total sidebar, put the beans down and begin our resolutions for each of the F1 teams on the grid next season.

22:10 - McLaren doesn't have much to improve on, but we've still got notes. On to Mercedes. We relish the opportunity to say George, a bit too much probably. Don't over-think it.

26:00 - The Energy Drink Team! Turns out we're a little predictable/repetitive when it comes to our resolutions, but the sentiment remains! Not sure if any of these teams held up to last year's rezzie's, so don't feel bad if you've goofed already too.

35:10 - Ferrari. Lather, rinse and repeat. Williams! One of our favorite's. The tree's good, let's see some fruits. Do these guys have what it takes to lock in and be consistent for the season we've been promised? Will the prophecy be as foretold?! we can't wait. VCARB. Arvid? Arnold. Ahhnald!

46:50 - Aston Martin. These guys need a vibe check. They've got the money, they've got the Newey, it's time to cut loose and have a little fun. No need to be such pouty-pants'. On to Haas. We never hope for an injury, but we have to admit we actually miss Ocon's dickish antics. 

62:45 - Pierre needs help, and that's about all there is to say about the frenchies. The newbies! Cadillac and Audi are the hot new tickets, and Patty wants liveries to prove it. Or Checo with a long beard, one or the other. Let the good times roll! We review the bean list, and make some resolutions of our own.

Thanks again for tuning in to yet another year of Midfield action. Make sure to connect with us over on Threads and keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!

  Welcome back MFers!

We got a big one lined up this week! Vegas recap, Abu preview, bad internets, carlos podiums, and of course a bean during the rules ON sidebar discussion? Oofdah, buckle up buttercup. This is a fun one.

14:40 - You carrot danglers-you. Patty's jumping around all over the place, but we're talking P10 challenge baby. You may not care, but that's cause you're not playing. We get in our picks each and every weekend, with hopefully a bit of discussion prior. It's a ton of fun, you should too.

30:10 - We like Ike! Problem is we like Yuki too. Will Isaak suffer the same silliness of the second seat at Red Bull? Dan loves my alliterations. Unlikely, but we're hoping. Patty likes good production value, and we've been getting some from the F1TV broadcasts.

40:10 - Quick Helmut rant and it's time for this weekend's preview. Underground pit lane gets us every time. Dan wants a sidebar to talk championship runs. Patty wants to keep the language, it's gonna get weird. Lots of nicknames in this segment of "who wins the title". The NECK!

56:13 - Bean... duh.

Thanks again for joining us on our wild journey through the world of F1! Be sure to check in regularly for all your Midfield Podcast action. Keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!

  Welcome back to the Midfield Pod! Where we occasionally talk about midfield Formula 1 racing action, but mostly just have fun. We like to have fun here. Join us for this week's episode where we recap some of our favorite names-for-drivers, new and old! Plus fun!

16:40 - A quick recap of the Mexico City GP, and we're already slippin' into bean turritory by 14:20. Barely into the nicknames segment and we dip into the box. We go through the whole paddock and remind you just who and what the hell we're talking about.

26:25 - Football announcers? Come on Dano, wrangle us back on track here. Patty The Strategist is not a hot start, but we're gonna roll with it, and he'll share is ever-wise... wisdom. We even the bean score at 41:10, while trying to figure out what happened to Lewis during the race.

44:05 - Road rules! Darth Rules, same thing. Hamilton tried to Darth, and he found out. 10 second penalty found out, down to 8th. Hyooge bummer for Lewis fans who were excited about a hot quali. New F1 benchmark? We punch bags. Go Packers!

Whats up, MFers, 

It's time for another episode of the Mid Boys. Patrick and Dan broke down their favorite events from COTA, looked ahead to Mexico City and even talked about the $%^@*& drivers in a special post-script side bar. 

16:00 - Dan's got some questions, and Patrick's got answers. Honda, Honda is the answer. We say our niceties about our lone North American driver, but we don't talk about Saturday. Livery chat! Good job VCARB.

34:45 - Lookin' ahead to Mexico. Head's up, this track's at a high elevation, and Dano's got beef with the stadium section. We admittedly slept on Mexico GP last year, and we're really hoping we get some similar excitement as we lock in our first BOLDIE's in a grip.

41:30 - Sidebar ACTIVATE! That's right, it's time to talk the no-talkies. It's a papaya-ridden Darth fest from here on out, but it's totally different from all 101 other episodes, promise.

That's all folks, thanks for tuning in, be sure to check out all our fun links below, and keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!
