The Pad-Hoc episodes

  • Big apologies from the Big Boss

    So work got in the way, and then so did travel, and somehow we found ourselves episode-less when we all headed to Australia. But now we're back from Japan and Nate has a new nickname, while Lawrence doesn't understand the greatest game on podcasts

  • Lewis Hamilton + Ferrari = This episode

    Lewis Hamilton will be a Ferrari driver in 2025. We don't usually do straight reaction episodes, but this was big enough that we found time to do that even when Chris had planned to be off in Rome. Find out if Lawrence was witnessing contracts being signed and how many jokes Nate had this week, as well as the way the news came out

  • The RB stands for 'rubbish branding'

    WARNING: This is a very moan-filled episode, but Visa Cash App RB just seems to set us off in that direction. Chris has a couple of zingers, Nate's joke is deep and meaningful, and Lawrence (without his microphone) finds it very hard to comment on anything other than Charles Leclerc's new deal

  • Our 2023 F1 awards show

    For the first time since we last did one, it's a season review where we hand out a few awards. Or we roughly discuss a few topics and don't actually award anything to anyone, while the absolute highlight of the year very nearly gets totally forgotten

  • Nate dropped a clanger after his Vegas high

    Finally getting round to chatting about Las Vegas adventures, which includes probably Nate's coolest story ever, but he has since ruined it all. Chris explains how Gasly tried to kill him, and Lawrence went to Venice with Kimi (not that one)

  • Are you Sad-Hoc or Glad-Hoc the season is over?

    Vegas became impossible to record at and then Nate decided he'd rather be in Tampa than Abu Dhabi, but all three are finally able to go over the final race from three different timezones. Chris has a great Mercedes story, and Lawrence really doesn't understand the point of the game in the episode title

  • Tweeting rumours and making humours

    Lawrence is definitely here, and it's not just Chris talking about all the gifts he got from being in Mexico, or Nate taking absolute liberties with his 60-second review. They also address *that* paddock rumour (spoiler: there isn't one)

  • An awesome night in Austin

    We actually went and did a live episode in Austin and there were real people who came to listen. So get ready for a lot of shouting, a terrible joke, but a lot of fun at Mayfair with more than a little help from COTA. Nate forgets the drivers he interviewed only a few hours earlier, Lawrence wore his cowboy boots for Checo but not for us, and Chris influenced the Williams board

  • The Pad-Hoc is coming to Austin

    Nate, Lawrence and Chris were finally all at a race together in Qatar, so naturally they only actually recorded once they had long since left. Chris finds out Barretto's net worth, Nate doesn't do well in the heat, and did you not see in the title? The show is coming to Austin!

  • Jeopardy in Tokyo

    Apologies in advance for the car crash that was caused by Chris having the wrong mic selected AND running out of laptop battery. Plus Lawrence was on his way to Singapore airport, but there's a bit of an episode in there, mainly held up by Nate. Which should tell you all you need to know...
