Performance Talk F1 Podcast

Some of these races have been a bit dull. But, qualifying has been a gem this season. Let's go over some key moments in the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Max continues to break and bend the rules. The FIA continue to seem compromised since 2021 when it comes to Max and the RBR team. When will the ridiculousness stop? Who knows! Maybe when they've insured Max will claim all records and superseding Lewis Hamilton as the face of F!.

Finally Mercedes bring an end to their long drawn out goodbye to Mike Elliott for his portion of the horrendous development of the W13 & W14. This Mercedes fumble in development cost Lewis Hamilton two whole season of his legendary career. Due to Mercedes providing their drivers with a horrible car, Lewis hasn't had a race win in two seasons as well. Liam Lawson comes into the AlphaTauri Red B...

J of WPP and Tasha host of the QSTF! Saturday show discuss some hot things happening in Formula 1. The FIA have decided to take a shot at the Queen of Mercedes, Susie Wolff and it doesn't go well. Logan Sargeant gets another shot at his Formula 1 career and it could go more south than the Florida tip. Tasha ranks three teams for 2024 and gives an explanation for their performance to come.

The Mexico GRand Prix had some moments in it for sure. Max continues to believe things are all about him. Checo goes Mad Max and ruins the race for his fans. Fans go crazy and start fighting. Pick one of many things that happen in the Mexico GP. But, don't point out that Lance Stroll is still subpar. Lawrence Stroll isn't trying to hear it.

There were some moments where many fans had reason to believe maybe a moment of ahhhh was in the works from Mercedes. On the other side of the paddock. Plenty of Checo fans had reason to be disappointed in Red Bull Racing and Perez. Checo takes it to the max and ruins his race in the opening lap of his home GP.

Red Bull are reported to have acquired extra security for Max Verstappen while in Mexico. In my opinion, you don't need extra security if you didn't do anything wrong or someone isn't after you for a specific reason. Red Bull via Helmut Marko, Max Verstappen and Christian Horner have created their own situation as to fearing the Mexico citizens. Helmut has made racially toned remarks about the Mex...

It's already bad enough Mercedes has built a car that crippled Lewis Hamilton's comeback tour. But, Mercedes have done it now for multiple seasons following the 2021 AD scandal. Now, the world is watching as Mercedes have subpar pitstops, fumbling strategies and a lack of initiative when it comes to petitioning some of the FIA shenanigans.  Lewis may seem very confident in Mercedes. And, I don't d...

It seems that Max and RBR have some complaint every GP on the back half of the season. I think RBR and Max are trying to make things seem more challenging. But, there really not. Maybe the season is even boring to them as it is to many fans.

I decided that F1 doesn't do enough to include the fans or capture fan opinions. So, I set out while at the Texas USGP and mingled with many fans that support different teams and or drivers. Here's what they had to say!

The Qatar GP was one of the most eventful race weekends this season. There was so much going on from FP all the way to Race Day! Mercedes's drivers Lewis and Russell again find themselves making contact. But, this time they made contact where it counts most. There is blame to be shared in regards to Lewis and Russell making contact. But, it seems there were team plans put in place and one driver m...

The Qatar GP was a very eventful race weekend. In more disheartened ways than wanted. But, it was peppered with awesome moments, especially via Oscar Piastri as he shined again. Oscar collected pole position for the sprint race, won the sprint race and then collected another race Sunday podium. The Mercedes team had a debacle of a race start and challenging weekend. Russell claims he never saw Ham...

Again the goal is set and moved for Andretti Global. The FIA have now approved for Andretti to move forward. But, 10 teams and Formula 1 seem to be against welcoming the new competition. We are almost in sight of Audi entering F1. Seems every part of Formula 1 was embracing of Porsche entering as well. But, there seems to be a grudge against this American based and true team to enter.

We have another hot live caller episode. This is where you become part of the content creation on several current F1 topics. We get into Williams Racing and the challenge James Vowles has set in motion for rookie driver Logan Sargeant. Will James keep Logan around as a driver for 2024? That is the big question. If Logan finishes out the season collecting a few more DNF due to collisions. Likely no...

Logan Sargeant is the most recent American Formula 1 driver to take the grid. But, Logan is making this season's debut a rough one. Recently James Vowles and Williams Racing released a social media post in regards to Logan's performance and mishaps. The key message was very clear. There are targets set and a deadline to be made. Latifi has been long gone from team Williams and it doesn't seem as i...

Some say, Mercedes customer teams are doing better with Mercedes parts, than Mercedes themselves. Is this really true or does it just look different for Aston Martin and McLaren Racing? Let's add some things up and see. Williams Racing have a decision to make going forward with Logan Sargeant. Give Logan extreme room to run up more of a repair bill or cut loose and grab another driver to manage. A...

We drop in with another hot "Performance Talk" episode with guest FIA Girly. We dive into why and why aren't drivers the greatest. We had to discuss Lawrence Stroll and the relationship that is wrecking Aston Martin's winning future. Then, we point the focus on the rookies and how standards have changed. Also, how Logan is under preforming in this new rookie environment. From there we just turn al...

Oh my goodness! Some drivers made cases for themselves, that not even the DA could have done a better job. Perez was literally out there in the Japanese GP playing bumper cars. He clipped Lewis and then proceeded to spin Kevin from team HAAS. George decides that the team game is not his thing. Dive bombs Lewis, nearly causing a Mercedes double DNF. Following that, Lewis gives Russell a taste of hi...

The best of the rest is looking to be surely mixed. But, one thing for sure is! McLaren are the current popping Mercedes customer team. Lando & Oscar land some nice laps to put them on the podium radar. Mercedes seem to be struggling again with this W14 and I'm not sure there's much hope for the W15 coming next season. But, there could be a resurgence. Red Bull have floor swaps going on and fi...

Goin into his race weekend there are many questions to be answered. Has Red Bull been derailed by technical directives or team developments? Will McLaren show up and convert updates into more podiums? Will Liam Lawson contribute to the new expectations of what rookies will be expected to do when landing a Formula 1 seat? Lets kick this off.

The Singapore GP was definitely in rare form. The Marina Bay circuit has been perceived to many of us as a Monaco night race. Little overtakes and  an over hyped night race under the lights. Well... This 2023 Singapore Grand Prix was an event that kept giving from Free Practice, Qualifying and all the way to the end of Race Day Sunday. Red Bull Racing struggled following the Helmut Marko debacle a...

The Singapore Grand Prix was in rare entertaining form this weekend. The circuit was modified from it's previous layout and majority of the drivers declined the addition of another DRS zone. This indeed may have been an ingredient among many to add to this competitive race weekend. Max Verstappen and Red Bull again were unable to get around tyre challenges as they have before during ATA race weeke...

What a surprise we all got during the early sessions of Singapore qualifying. Max Verstappen started to unravel and return to true Max Verstappen form as he was unable to adjust to the RB19 being slightly out of it's perfect setup window. This may indeed be an indictment on Max's ability to adjust to a car that not completely developed to his driving style. Many have criticized Checo for under per...

Helmut Marko release a statement about his recent disrespectful racial and or cultural tones towards Sergio Perez. For some reason he chose to list his doctorate title while doing so. By the way, Helmut's doctorate is in law. Not  psychology or any other study that would qualify him to make such judgements he made in regards to Perez. And, if Helmut held a doctorate in one of those studies. Surely...

The Singapore GP is one of the most anticipated races throughout the calendar season. It's the only night race and the first Formula 1 night race. And, that hype quickly ends once the lights go out on Sunday. The excitement can be observed during FP sessions as lizards randomly obstruct the drivers on track. The views are awesome around the circuit. But, the hype lowers on race day. I'm not for re...
