SHW F1 Podcast

As Max cruised to victory, we were distracted with the lackluster performance of Alpine, the post-race battle of Tsunoda/Ricciardo, and John's apologetic feelings towards Lance Stroll. The cold open discusses the use (or lack thereof) of pneumatic tools in everyday life, plus later in the episode we are paid a visit by our Ferrari insider Anthony Maranello AKA Tifosi Tony to find out what happened...

We all consumed some Drive to Survive episodes over the weekend, so *SPOILER ALERT* we are discussing some of our favorite moments from the first few episodes of season 6. A little review on preseason testing and our Bahrain GP predictions. We also sprinkle in some talk about chili recipes, British/French pronunciation, and F1 drivers' heights that will hopefully have you chuckling at our stupidit...

Whoa, Nelly, this episode is filled with lots of discussion and debate about the betting odds and season finishing totals for constructors and drivers. Our three self-proclaimed "experts" give reasoning and picks for each constructor's 2024 predicted season point totals come December, and each choose 5 drivers to pick if they will finish above or below the odds-makers' lines. Constructor Over/Unde...

After a longer than anticipated hiatus, we are back! Catching up on our F1 (and non-F1) off-seasons, we welcome Brady to the show as a permanent member. In this episode, (besides covering major issues like farting in an elevator) we dive into our take on the Andretti rejection, team names and sponsor changes, car launches and whether or not they do anything for us, and of course the bombshell move...

Ho ho ho, SHW faithful! After an extensive delay and technical difficulties, part 3 of our season grades and review is ready for consumption. Spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day listening as Tom, John, and Brady discuss their top moments and bottom moments from the 2023 Formula 1 season. And prep yourself for more offseason content coming in the new year...

Picking up where we left off, Brady King joins us again as we hand out our 2023 season grades for the drivers from Aston Martin, McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull. We end the show by unveiling our revised 2023 driver's championship and constructor's championship based on our grades. Some big movers on the lists as pretty much everything under P1 got shuffled around.

Tom and John are once again joined by Brady King for the first installment of Soft, Hard, and Wet grades. We go driver by driver to hand out our 2023 report cards. Going from worst to first in the constructors championship, in this episode we cover Haas, Alfa Romeo, AlphaTauri, Williams, and Alpine. Subscribe to the show so you won't miss part 2!

As the sun sets on another F1 season, the Soft, Hard, and Wet is just getting started. Lots to talk about from Abu Dhabi. Max caps off a dominant season while Mercedes and Ferrari fight for P2 until the very end. Why is Haas still allowed to race? And what did we learn from McLaren and Aston Martin this weekend? All that and more as we recap the season finale of the 2023 Formula 1 calendar.

Late nights, neon lights, wheels, drain covers, and a sphere. After a rough start to the weekend, Vegas did not disappoint on race day. John and Tom are back to discuss the third and final USA-based grand prix of the 2023 season. Your ears will thank you...

You don't want to miss this one. The guys are joined by guest Brady King for some insight and intrigue into the LVGP. Sharing personal Vegas stories, recent visits to sin city, predictions for the race, and Tom reads an open letter to American attendees making his expectations clear for race weekend.

Interlagos is a fantastic track, but why didn't it deliver a great race or sprint? The guys discuss Alonso vs Perez, of course, but besides the obvious, what went right and what went wrong over the race weekend. 

Does a lap 1, turn 1 collision + a red flag mid-race restart = 2 exciting half-races? We give our thoughts on Checo's mishap, Lando's ups and downs, and why the F1 broadcast crew chooses to continually rob the fans of great on-track battles.

U-S-A! U-S-A! [chanting] - John loves COTA and Tom always enjoys a good mix of tyre strategies. COTA did not disappoint even if the on-track racing (or TV broadcasting for that matter) didn't always deliver. We are sharing our thoughts about the race in Austin and give some predictions for Mexico. 

We get all sorts of American up in here today sharing our thoughts on COTA as a circuit and how the United States GP has evolved since 2012, some thoughts on what the new upgrades for Mercedes and Haas could produce, plus our spicy ratings for a few custom US GP helmet designs.
