The SAUDI GP and (dys)functional teams

After the checkered flag came out in Jeddah, Sergio Pérez took his first win of the season. Could we be in for another 2016 situation or is the gap in performance between Max and Checo too big? Are team orders going to play a role? The second race of the season has brought several hilarious team radios and first spicy moments of 2023. Also, Sara is providing valuable insight on what it's like to have a "Max fan" boyfriend as a Mercedes girlie.

The BAHRAIN GP and a Spanish revolution

It’s officially lights out and away we go for the 2023 season. After the first race of the season some things are new while some stayed the same.

We discuss it all in the first race episode of the season.

SPECIAL EPISODE: our 2 cents about Abu Dhabi 2021

This episode comes one year after the Abu Dhabi controversy in 2021 and right before the Abu Dhabi 2022 GP which brings back a lot of flashbacks, we are having an episode of therapeutical self healing discussing what actually happened, how do people in the sport talk about it one year later and why is the F1 "community" at each other's throats when Lewis and Max were able to shake hands after what will go down as one of the most controversial races of modern F1 history

Ep 11: Russell’s maiden win and team order tension in Brazil

After what was probably the best race weekend in the 2022 season so far there’s a lot to discuss as George Russell gets his maiden win and proves to everyone that the W13 has what it takes after all. But that’s not all: old rivals Hamilton and Verstappen collide (again) before a lot of team orders make the race even spicier. We discuss whether Max’s petty move not to switch back positions with Checo was justified and what possible drama could be going down in the RedBull garage at the moment.
