The Pad-Hoc episodes

  • Two days to the shave

    That's right, it's Abu Dhabi weekend and Lawrence only has two mornings left waking up with hair on his head. Nate explains why he likes to play the role of 'stupid man' rather than 'bad cop', and Chris reveals a shocker of a haircut he once had. There's an F1 prediction in there too, if you can find it.

  • #NoContextNate

    We really wanted to call this episode 'The Paddock Haddock', you’ll soon know why. Basically some incredible things come out of Nate’s mouth, and Chris reminds him of them. But he has to suck up his own massive error that confused the Verstappens this weekend, and Lawrence slowly loses it.

  • Nate Saunders and the devolution of man

    It's happening, Lawrence is officially going bald and Nate and Chris are losing their beards too. But what's really getting Nate angry involves the World Drivers' Championship trophy, so we fix that.

  • We’re going to really regret this

    We’re not sure how we ended up here, but Lawrence spontaneously (honestly) agrees to a pretty remarkable challenge for Prostate Cancer UK, and then Chris and Nate both get involved in the fundraising too. It somehow all starts with an incredible nickname given to Nate by a Spanish Twitter user. We should really plan these episodes to avoid this sort of thing in future…

  • Lampooning Italian F1 journalists

    Nate's part-Italian, so it's fine. Lawrence finally picks an F1 intro song, this time Chris attempts to sing, there's a live new shoe unboxing, and we milk Ricciardo's recent appearance a little bit more.

  • Ricciardo will do almost anything you ask

    Chris makes Daniel Ricciardo an unwitting Lawrence Barretto superfan, Nate sings and Lawrence can't think of a decent song to use as an F1 theme tune. There's a lot of cat chat for some reason, too.

  • Barrett-hoes

    Chris and Nate bring you a stunning discovery that makes everything about 2020 so much better, while Lawrence has another shunt. There's actually some real Imola stories in there too, and a public service announcement for the ages after the drama of the previous episode

  • Hulkenberg, give us a call

    Chris remembers the time he had to put his trust in an angry Max Verstappen, Lawrence remembers the time he made Ronnie O'Sullivan angry, and Nate sneezes.

  • Sorry we mentioned Cyril's arse

    After a pretty outrageous revelation, Lawrence creates the most manufactured shoey opportunity ever for Daniel Ricciardo, Nate is unhappy at the results of the buddy cop movies poll, and Chris says a few things he really wishes he hadn't. But he does make an F1-related joke, so that's something.

  • F1 Buddy Cop Movies

    Nate takes over the podcast this week as he wants to know who Lawrence and Chris would choose as their partners to fight crime from the current F1 grid. And, well, they all get a bit carried away with some of the ideas.
