The Pad-Hoc

Someone's missing, but that isn't going to stop Lawrence and Chris from catching up on how it's impossible to do your job if you can't speak, and how FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer can distract you at the most inopportune times Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A brief recollection of Nate annoying a large number of people on Twitter / X, and then some views on F1's new season launch event. Lawrence is being harsh, and Chris might be going to a film premiere with the King, or the Ferrari drivers, or both Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nothing massive to discuss - because news is coming later in the week - so we decided to just have a completely mundane catch-up. Chris reminds Nate about the F1 career of Alfonso Celis Jr, Lawrence defends Monaco, and there's a lot of track running chat Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

OK, there are some jokes, but this is dangerously close to being a serious episode. Lawrence, Nate and Chris discuss the handling of Daniel Ricciardo's replacement by Liam Lawson, how weird the Singapore weekend was, and have a few stories about the popular Aussie (Nate's also going to do community service after this...)

Lawrence has been at McLaren all morning but it doesn't help his mood with Nate's joke, while Chris explains how unpredictable the Carlos Sainz to Williams situation was after a chat with James Vowles. There's also another Padhocbuster, and breaking news at the end of the show to vindicate some self-indulgent work complaints Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After five races, we're back. And Lawrence is the one with most of the good stories, although we have plenty to catch up on in the coming weeks. Find out how Barretto caused Hans Zimmer to ruin a shirt, some F1 film "insight", a live 60-second review AND a Padhocbuster Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In a strange turn of events, there's an actual variety of opinions on Monaco for a spell, some very privileged stories and another chance for Nate to rub the Padel win in Chris's face. Plus another Padhocbuster to get stuck into Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Laurence, Nate and Chris find themselves on a tender in the Monaco harbour at the end of the grand prix weekend and spot a little window for the shortest episode they've ever done. But there's still time for a good joke Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Miami was a fun race anyway but Nate had the weekend of his life when some guy called Ed Sheeran invited him to watch an Ipswich Town football match with him. This is a story that might never be topped Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Lawrence is back from China (as in, literally just back) and fighting the jet lag so is very giggly. Nate's worried F1 is dying, and Chris has the latest PadHocBuster Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Learn more about your ad choices.

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) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 Learn more about yo...

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.

Apologies in advance for the car crash that was caused by Chris having the wrong mic selected AND running out of laptop battery.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Chris appears to have jinxed Daniel Ricciardo at Zandvoort, and Nate's not happy about it. Lawrence is also predicting something pretty crazy ahead of the rest of the weekend, and the episode from a random local pizzeria all ends weirdly... Learn more about your ad choices.

Seeing as it's been so long, we figured all three together after Nate has overcome one of his biggest fears would be the best way to return with an episode. Barretto is now a married man, but once we acknowledge that then far too much F1 creeps into this one Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You came here for Formula 1 chat and perhaps some insight into Daniel Ricciardo's return, but the big takeaway is a saying that only Lawrence knew. Nate also loses a year, and Chris laughs at Elvis Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

There's a very nervy Lawrence on today's show, despite an impressive sporting achievement against an F1 driver and Chris's own pathetic stag do story. To try and make him feel better, Nate insults the French, or the French Canadians, or maybe both... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Lawrence makes an absolute mockery of the joke scoring system when confronted with an in-person episode in Monaco, that was recorded to the background of pizza and beer.
