Tin Foil Helmets

It’s the preseason! We’re back! We’re vibing — in the good way, not the Honda Engine in an Aston Martin Way! We made some predictions. We cover all the drama between seasons! We are ready!

We finally got around to the post season, ground effect era exit interview discussion… We make it clear that the ground effect era was not what we wanted. And Nor was the season. We also may have veered off course a few times. But we made sure to put most of that at then, so if you’re enjoying our accidental media review podcast, stick around for the extra 20 minute that I got from a whole extra hour of waffle…

Lewis Hamilton finally gets his 8th in Abu Dhabi!

What way would you want to win the championship?

It was a race. Everything went down as the probabilities foretold. It happened his way, and he was very nice about it. But it’s also the end of the era. We think. It’s certainly the end of *an* era. And maybe we go off on a tangent about Christmas Media. Maybe.

Would you lose the world drivers title in the name of fairness? 

Did this race rock your world? 

It’s the last Sprint of the season — oh thank god — and the rules for the razor-sharp curbs and pineapple sized gravel rocks means it was never going to have any racing. And we were right! It was a strategy race where fairness ruined it for everyone.

Would you walk 1000 miles to save your season tonight?

Are you as thick as two short planks? McLaren Certainly… aren’t?

We’re back in vegas. They made it as a much less annoying time, and brought along F1 Academy for the best racing of the year. We watched the race and thought it was all settled, but fell asleep — like a normal person — before chaos ensued and DSQs turned the whole thing upside down.

Or are we heading for a dramatic finish?

Brazil Delivered the best dry race of the season. Both home-race drivers (Bortoleto, Hamilton) didn’t make it to the end of the race. Max showed us Super-ish Max. We realise how good the Brazil track really is, and wonder when it’ll be dropped from the season ‘cause someone else wants to pay more money.

How angry do you have to be on the radio to get fired from mercedes?

Should Lance Stroll Become a Dancer?

Mexico Happened. Everything exciting happened in Turn 1, Lap 1. Mostly. But we also learn about other sporting events this week that helped us make it through the race. It was a good race. But also not shocking.

Brits should stop making references about Texas. Or something. It upset Andrew.

We have begrudgingly accepted that sometimes Sprint Races can be fun. Dominic still forgets about them though. But also crashing is not always fun. The F1 Circus is back in Austin (and will be for another decade!), so we had an enjoyable race the at the same time was… sleepy. But also SUPER MAX.

Is not wearing a vest a fashion statement or a performance disadvantage? Should LMVH make a stylish one?

What are your pro-tips for taking a nap at 8am?

Oh. Yeah, there was a race again this weekend. In Singapore. And if theres ever a sign that F1 is too safe now, there weren’t any safety cars. For the second time in its 15 year history. Anyway, we talked about what racing there was, and then we took some sidebars about recurring diversions such as Star Trek…

Did you put a ferrari magnet at turn 15?

What do you do when qualifying has more red flags than a former team principal?

This weekend was exciting for qualifying, and one lap of the race. So we also decided to supplement our podcast with a brief journey into discussing television - Star Trek specifically. Then we got back to wrapping up the race. Sorry, but it’s not our fault…
