Monoplaza F1 Podcast

Lewis Hamilton on Sprint Pole! Just kidding. It went to Lando Norris. Back in Shanghai after a five year hiatus and for the time ever a Chinese driver in an F1 race on Chinese soil. Don't let the burning grass distract you from the fact that Max Verstappen dominated. Again.

Another race another win by Verstappen and Red Bull but the gap is tightening between Red Bull and Ferrari. Ferrari is emerged as a strong challenger. Meanwhile Mercedes learned a lot...supposedly. Yuku Tsunoda showed out and meanwhile over at Williams they are in desperate need of money.

HOLY CRAP MAX VERSTAPPEN DIDN'T WIN!!!! It's the return of the oh wait no way...anyways shouts out to Carlitos Sainz for doing the thing two weeks post up. Truly truly, a smooth operator.

Another race and another Verstappen win. The competition is close I promise. I'm lying. It's not close at all. This week most of the action was off track and all the drama came from the Red Bull side of the house. Ollie Bearman made his debut thanks to Sainz's appendix. The W15 is slow but still better than Alpine. Gather round everybody, it's race review time Saudi Arabian GP...

It's the return of F1 picking up right where we left off...total Verstappen domination. Strap in everyone. Ferrari had brake issues, Mercedes had seat issues and Alpine had car issues, as in they don't have one. Red Bull is about to implode and no one really knows how Christian Horner still has a job. No one man should have all that power.

A fitting end to a mostly predictable season where as expected, Yuki Tsunoda alias Jason Statham's son lead an F1 race. Mercedes secured P2 in the constructors in spite of themselves and with a little help from Ferrari. For Max Verstappen it was mission accomplished on his way to his final victory. A 1000 laps lead for that guy this season. It's the Abu Dhabi GP race review! Goodbye to t...

Who said Vegas couldn't put on a show! This week F1 fumbled through some terrible football analogies at the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. Carlos Sainz received some harsh penalties and Charles Leclerc benefitted from none. Max Verstappen hates Vegas on a weekday but loves it on a Saturday night. The upside down pig did not disappoint. Apologies to the organizers. It's race review time...

It's race weekend at Interlagos, the land between lakes. Charlie Leclerc needs un cura to exercise all the bad juju he has. Lando Norris back on the podium while Max Verstappen has enough time for carpool karaoke. Mercedes got done in by the sprint format but somehow managed to stay ahead of Ferrari. Shouts out to El Father for showing his race craft and earning a well deserved podium over El...

It's the Mexico Grand Prix and we are still wondering when Hamilton's tires are going to fall away. But surprise surprise Max Verstappen gets win number 16 while the real surprise was Danny Ricc starting from 4th. Leclerc and Hamilton get retribution for their disquali in ATX and rumor has Alonso's joining Red Bull...or retiring. The race review for the Mexico Grand Prix is here!

A literal scorcher in Qatar as Max Verstappen wins his third WDC. Oscar P gets a Sprint Race win while Lando is left wondering where it all went wrong. McLaren gets it 500+ podium and over at Mercedes we have to remind them about rule 101 of car accidents: never admit fault. It's the Qatar Grand Prix race review!

Max Verstappen and Red Bull back at it again like they never left. McLaren comin for that number one spot. At Mercedes it's 2016 again. Shouts to Alpine for finishing a race and how does Logan Sargeant still have a drive?! It's race review time and this week we're covering the Japanese Grand Prix

Carlos Sainz! The diamond life lover boy, he moves in space with minimum waste and maximum joy, the smooth operator uses strategy and Lando's car to break Red Bull's streak. Heart break for George Russell and a quiet podium finish for Sir Lewis Hamilton! It's the Singapore Grand Prix in this week's race review

Monza! The Temple of Speed! Max Verstappen pops off another win but Checo is on Dr. Muerte's hit list. Elsewhere, Ferrari jumps Aston Martin in the Constructor's. Someone should send Fernando Alonso some help. Mercedes re-ups there drivers and Alex Albon continues his quest to trap everyone behind a DRS train. Shout out McLaren.

Anotha one! Verstappen and Red Bull continue their dominance. Checo wakes up from his championship dream. Sainz vs. Piastri. Over at Mercedes the seed has been planted for  brocedes 2.0. Finally, we say goodbye to everything at Alpine from their double DNF streak to Otmar. It's the Belgian Grand Prix race review!

Lewis Hamilton on poll! McLaren is back? McLaren is back! Max Verstappen had a lovely drive on his way to his 7th consecutive victory. This week he is joined on his podcast by recurring guests Lando Norris and a friend of the show El Viejo Sabroso. Congrats to Alpine for another week featuring a double DNF.

It's round 11 of the Formula 1 season at Silverstone, the British Grand Prix. Business as usual at Red Bull with Max Verstappen getting his sixth win in a row. It's Friday again, then Saturday, Sunday what? Lando Norris secures a podium and Lewis Hamilton make it the first double Brit podium since the year Lando was born. Elsewhere Estaban Ocon's string of bad luck continues! ¿Que?

Max Verstappen and Red Bull continue their dominance of the 2023 F1 season but the biggest story coming out of the Austrian GP was track limits that turned all the drivers into federales. Somebody tell El Viejo Sabroso to stop intimidating the smooth operator. Congrats to Estie Bestie on his new record!
