We’re back to process the inaugural race of 2024 season, the Bahrain GP. This was the race where we all get to stop speculating, the sand bags fall off, the engines get turned up, and we arguably figure out what the pecking order for the first part of the season will be. Turns out, not so different from the end of 2023. How big will the gap to RBR …

Strap in for a turbocharged tour of the F1 grid as we forecast who's set to dominate the Constructors' Championship and shake up the driver standings. We're placing our bets on Red Bull leading the charge, but with Ferrari revving up for a challenge and the Mercedes-McLaren rivalry firing up, the podium's anyone's game. And don't forget, the drama …

We're back to break down pre-season testing. Will it be status quo for 2024? We look for signs of forward momentum and ponder which teams may be struggling in Bahrain and beyond.بقلم Formula XX

Day three of Testing is currently delayed due to the same drain cover, how about a listen to our take on the F1 liveries as we rank them, how we think the teams are going to do in the 2024 (we recorded on Tuesday, day before Testing started), and how much better the F1 Academy liveries are.بقلم Formula XX

Could the tectonic plates of Formula 1 be shifting beneath our feet? Fasten your seatbelts, racing fans, as we grapple with the news that's left jaws on the floor: Lewis Hamilton is donning the scarlet red of Ferrari, leaving behind the silver arrows of Mercedes. We delve into the whispers of discontent that might have pushed Hamilton towards the a…

Join us as we dissect the 2023 season and look back at our pre-season predictions. We share our take on the impact of Red Bull's dominance, the strategies that propelled teams like Aston Martin and McLaren to new heights, and the development missteps that left squads like Mercedes grasping for answers. The conversation steers through the impressive…

Join us as we unpack the last race of the 2023 season, as Jen unpacks in her new digs. Did Abu Dhabi provide a knife-edge battle between Ferrari and Mercedes for P2 in the Constructor's? Did the stewards drop the ball on a critical safety call (again)? Join us as we lay it all out on the table – the strategies, the penalties, and the sheer unpredic…

Monza's trackside drama never disappoints, and neither does our latest Formula XX podcast episode, where excitement and opinion crash like racers at the first chicane. As Heather, sipping on a crisp Seattle cider, and Jen, nursing a fine whiskey in her friend’s basement, are spilling the beans on the 2023 Monza GP, looping you into the tension-pack…

Join us as we dive into the inaugural Las Vegas GP, the most expensive and possibly most overhyped race of the year. The race where every A, B, C and D list celebrity and social media influencer descended to see and be seen. Did it live up to that hype? Do the FIA continue to prove they are incapable of making good decisions? Keep listening and fin…

After a few technical difficulties, and a few life delays, we're back with part two of our Singapore and Suzuka podding double-header. One Red Bull driver is back on form in Japan, and one Mercedes driver is acting like a petulant child. Valtteri Bottas takes another run at "World's Longest Pit Stop" and Mercedes mess up their strategy so bad that …

Today we're talking about the 2023 Mexican Grand Prix, which featured the worst opening corner imaginable for the hometown hero Checo Perez, another tire whispering masterclass from Lewis Hamilton, a stunning recovery drive from Lando Norris, and a whole lot of overheating breaks and engines.بقلم Formula XX

We’re balk to talk about the 2023 Qatar GP, which was dangerous, disorganized and didn’t need to be either of those things. With a sprint race weekend format, new asphalt, no support races to improve track conditions , degrading tires due to Lusail’s unique curbs, evolving track limits, racing in exceptionally hot and humid weather and some inter-t…

Join us as we talk (a lot) about the Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda races of Singapore and Suzuka. So much, there's a second part coming, oy. In Singapore, Red Bull coulda extended their historic winning streak, but they didn’t . George Russell woulda been on the podium if he hadn’t stuck his car in the wall, but he did. And the stewards shoulda given pen…

Strap in as we talk through the 2023 Dutch GP, a race that redefined unpredictability, brought a record-breaking amount of overtakes, and saw more pit stops than laps run. We'll unpack the chaos, the rookie stepping up to fill big shoes, and the usual suspect who sealed the win, tying Vettel's nine wins in a row record. Prepare for a deep dive into…

Okay, yes, it took us six weeks to get this podcast done...but was it worth the wait? And were Champions Club tickets worth the price? As we finish playing catch up from our travels abroad, we're finally talking about our trip to Merry Ol' England for the 2023 British GP. From the exhilarating support races and the unforgettable roar of the crowd, …

This week we're catching up on the 2023 Hungarian GP, which featured the debut of the Sky Junior commentators, the return of Danny Ricc, and a new quali format that shook things up. Or returned the natural order for a moment. Whichever. Join us as we break down one of the more interesting weekends of the season so far, no matter how predictable the…

We're back after a brief hiatus (and a trip around the UK) and catching up first with a rough-around-the-edges recap of F1's latest adventures at Spa. This year featured more rain, more formation laps behind the safety car, and another friggin' sprint race featuring an absurdly stupid penalty. Oscar Piastri continues to shine, the Mercedes drivers …

This week we recap our trip to very plausible state of Oregon, for in the inaugural Portland E-Prix. The switch to a traditional racetrack led to over 400 overtakes and ultimately shook up the order at the top of the championship table. Did our first live Formula E race live up to expectations? Spoiler alert: Absolutely!…

Lack of data due to shortened practice on Friday? Mixed up grid due to heavy rain in quali? Warmer temperatures on race day and a mix of possible tire strategies...did any of this shake up the regular pecking order and give us a our first non RBR win of the season? Of course not. But we did see some great drives, with another chapter of Alonso v. H…

Heather and Jen are back to talk about the Imola GP (not really), a surprisingly lively Monaco GP and whether those Mercedes upgrades really mean a step forward for the Black Arrows squad or not.بقلم Formula XX

Miami GP, a boring race, which upon reflection wasn't actually that boring despite no yellows, no safety cars, no DNFs. There were some interesting battles and some great overtakes. That said, Formula E was where the wheel-to-wheel racing and overtakes really happened. Maybe in Formula Academy as well, but as no one can watch those races, who knows…

This week we're talking about the dullest race of the season (so far) - Baku. F1 tries really hard to convince us that the new sprint format is exciting. Nope. Charles gets the poles, Checo gets the wins, there are only 13 overtakes and Esteban nearly drives into a group of photographers through no fault of his own. It's looking like a very long, v…

We're back in the land down under for what turned out to be a race of attrition--for viewers who had to stay up way past their bedtime, as well as for the drivers who managed to stay on track after THREE red flags. We discuss more questionable decisions by the stewards and wonder just how far F1 has drifted into "spectacle over sport" territory. Th…

After the inaugural Saudi GP, which included an irrelevant penalty for one driver brake checking another, and the 2022 GP including actual rockets falling from the sky mere kilometers from the track...what excitement did the 2023 Saudi GP bring? As it turns out, not much beyond the stewards once again proving they're inept. Alonso made it on to the…

A meandering discussion of pre-season testing, the Bahrain Grand Prix, winners and losers, the many challenges of being a Mercedes fan, what's to come and why all women everywhere should have a space in the F1 fandom.بقلم Tableau 20

Our VERY inaugural (really??) episode is a rambling opus dedicated to our predictions for the upcoming F1 season. We've got lots to learn about podcasting, but look forward to talking about all types of racing with each other and with special guests in the weeks and months ahead.بقلم Tableau 20
