The Grandstand F1

We're back in Shanghai after 5 years and a global pandy at the Shanghai International Circuit that's since been repaved. The grid looks very different since the last time we went racing, and the boys are hoping that means a different result than what's become the norm in the past year.

After an exciting weekend in Japan that saw Max retake his place on the top step of the podium, is Ferrari making a case for most improved team since last year? Plus - Lance has a case of Benjamin Button, Merc and Toto are having an identity crisis, and Williams is literally going for broke.

The words Suzuka and 130r, two words that make every F1 fans pants a little bit tighter or more wet. We're back in Japan for the 2024 Japanese Grand Prix, one of The Grandstand's favorite tracks.

Max DNF'd for the first time in 43 races and Appendixless Carlos Sainz was there to pick up the pieces. Maybe there is a Formula 1 god?

We're back in the land down under and apparently Valtteri's adopted homeland. Can someone unseat Max? Pretty Fuckin Please?

At a time when it seems like there's more happening off-track than on-track, all eyes were on the Saudi Arabia GP in hopes we'd get a race that didn't make us want to turn it off the moment crofty said lights out. From Oliver Bearman stepping in for an unwell Carlos Sainz to Jos Verstappen's big mouth, the boys break down a rather unhinged past week throughout the paddock.

With 23 races to go after the Bahrain Grand Prix, can anyone save this season from being a repeat of last year? The boys break down the on and off track action from Bahrain, where some drama broke out between the RB Boyz Yuki and DR3, Carlos Sainz drove possessed, and Alpine continued throwing gasoline on their dumspter fire.

It's lights out and away we go once again with the first Grand Prix of the 2024 season. P$ and FKnowles are back to give their takes on what could be a season that's as exciting off track as it is on track as well as their predications for the 2024 Bahrain GP.

With the F1 season swiftly approaching, that also means something else for F1 fans: cancel any weekend plans, get some popcorn, be a lazy POS and watch drive to survive. The boys give their full analysis of the latest season and also ask the question: was this the best season yet?

For the first time this year, we saw each Formula 1 team test their 2024 cars. The question on everyone's mind: is Red Bull beatable?

The boys review the secound round of livery reveals, featuring Aston Martin, Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull.

With the 2023-2024 F1 off season being shorter than Nikita Mazepin's career, the boys are back to break down all the news from the last couple months, and of course, maybe the biggest driver move of all time.

The boys review the first round of livery reveals.

It's hard to argue that 2023 could go down as one of the most dominant years ever by one team in Formula 1. And if you're not a fan of the team or driver who did it, you're probably happy it's over. Full recap of the 2023 season on this final episode of season 5 of The Grandstand.

After not getting off to a good start, and some criticism from a few drivers about "the show" that was the Vegas GP, when it came race day, we fans were not disappointed. Or were we? Plus a preview of the season closer in Abu Dhabi.

Vegas is back on the F1 calendar for the first time in over 40 years, and this time, we're going racing on the famed Las Vegas strip.

While we were wondering if Felipe Massa would show himself at this years Sao Paulo GP while he tries to sue for a world title, interlagos once again did not disappoint. While Max continues to break records each and every weekend, the rest of the field has much to still fight for.

Max keeps breaking records. Checo does not. DR3 is officially back. Meanwhile, Red Bull better watch theirs, because Merc and McLaren are on the hunt. Full review of the MXGP and preview of the Sao Paulo GP on this episode of The Grandstand.

You know we're back in Texas when DR3 is rocking a handle bar mustache as he made his return to the grid this past weekend. A full episode unpacking the drama from COTA and a preview of the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix.

Max and red bull have the title wrapped up, but battle for the remaining top spots in the constructors has been getting spicy as we go back racing in the land of the big TX.

Max Verstappen is officially a 3x champion and while we don't want to take away from this achievement, what's happening in Formula 1.5 with a team that rhymes with Rick Flaren may be the most exciting development of the season. All this and more from the Qatar GP on Episode 32 of the Grandstand!

The boys give their quick reactions to the Qatar GP Sprint that saw Max Verstappen win his 3rd world title.

He Came. He Saw. He Dethroned Max. All is well with the world (at least for now).

It was an interesting week off track with a week in between races. Helmut Marko once again makes headlines and it turns out Felipe Massa has needed a hug since Brazil 2008. Plus, can anyone unseat Max from the podium on the streets of Singapore?

There were talks that Ferrari could have a strong weekend as we headed towards the temple of speed aka Monza and resident tifoso and ferrari fan boy P$ was not disappointed even though red bull stilled finished 1-2. Also, is Lance Stroll still an F1 driver? All this and more from Monza on Ep 27 of The Grandstand.
