The Grandstand F1

Testing, Season Predications, and race predictions all in one, under 40 episode? Haters gonna say it's photoshopped. 

Drive to Survive Season 5 dropped during pre-season testing and a week before the 2023 F1 Season. Let's just say there's a lot to talk about. 

The 2022 Formula 1 season brought lots of hopes for many F1 fans, only to have their dreams crushed by Red Bulls dominant 17 win season. The boys recap the highs and lows and offer up their prayers that DR3 goes full KMag and makes a return to the grid in 2024. 

We're back in Brazil at the famous Interlagos circuit where some crucial points in the constructors, as well as Ferrari's dignity, are all up for grabs. 

The orange army was out in full force this past weekend as Max, with Ferrari's help once again, made it clear this is his championship to lose. The midfield battles continues to be undecided amidst the Piastri Disastri. And, did merc hire some freelance ferrari strategists for the dutch GP? As we go to Monza, Ferrari has to be wondering where it all went wrong. 

While still in the midst of a crazy silly season that has seen Fernando Alonso go to Aston Martin, Danny Ric get the boot from McLaren, and Oscar Piastri giving the bird to Alpine, we were back at Spa for a race that saw tempers flare and Red Bull demonstrate they're in complete control of the 2022 F1 Season. 

Max gets yet another win and Merc score their 4 straight podium after Ferrari's absolute bottle job. Is fernando the driver of the season so far? And will the real Pierre Gasly please stand up? 

Charles Leclerc was back on the podium for the first time since Australia in a race weekend that was anything but boring, both on and off the track. The dutch fans brought their flares along with the lowest of dutch society in a race weekend marred by behavior the FIA must act on. Mercedes is in the mix and could play spoiler amongst the top two teams, while the midfield is as unpredictable as eve...

Carlos Sainz gets his first Formula 1 Victory, a Scary moment for Guanyu Zhou, and Mercedes once again on the podium. Silverstone, ladies and gents, did not disappoint. 

With 4 Ferrari engine failures in Baku, one has to wonder whether or not Ferrari are truly title contenders or pretenders. The Red Bull 1-2 with Max taking victory had everyone who isn't a max fan,pretty much anyone who isnt dutch, about to break whatever device they were watching the race on as Checo once again had to give way to Max. Porpoising strikes once again, forcing the FIA to take action....

Rain. Spins. Fernando on the front Row. The return to Canada gave us a vintage race weekend that only disappointed when the checkered flag was waved. 

After Ferrari's devasting strategy call that saw Charles Leclerc not only lose the win in Monaco but not even finish on the podium, Baku has us asking: what will Ferrari do next? Also, how much porpoising will we see from Merc, who wins the battle of the midfield, and - is it do or die time for a one DR3? 

It was motorsport's biggest weekend of the year as fans returned in full force to both the Monaco GP and Indianapolis 500, both part of the triple crown of racing, for the first time in 2 years. Rain in Monaco brought unpredictability to a race that has over time become a processional snooze fest, while across the pond, a former F1 driver brought his car to Victory Lane to drink the coveted milk....

If you're apart of the Tifosi, the full return of fans to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was a heartbreaker, especially going into Monaco where Ferrari's golden boy Chuck Leclerc never seems to have any luck. Red Bull pull off their second 1-2 going into a back to back weekend and Mercedes has us all wondering if they're back in the mix for a three way title fight. The midfield still seems und...

After the south florida pomp and circumstance of the Miami GP and a week off that saw chuck leclerc bin Niki Lauda's Ferrari 312B at the Monaco Historic GP, we are back in catalonia for the Spanish GP. With Red Bull on the charge, who has the advantage going into this weekend's race between Ferrari and RB, and will Merc finally join the party?  

It was the inaugaural Miami GP at the Miami International Autodrome and while the race itself gave us fans some decent excitement, the odd pageantry left us at The Granstand scratching our heads. Max cut Charles' championship lead while Merc makes some headway with their "undrivable" car. And to wrap, what is actually going on in the midfield? 

It's feels like it was almost yesterday when Will Smith dropped his smash hit "Miami" on his famed album big willie style. 25 years later though, he's been semi-canceled and for the first time in Formula 1 history, there is a Grand Prix in the south Florida. Beyond all the pagentry, plastic surgery, and sunshine, there are serious points on the line as Ferrari look to get back on track after a dif...

The highly anticipated return of Formula 1 supporters to Imola for the first time since 2006 saw an absolute shit-show performance from F1 race directors, making us wonder if Michael Masi was still actually at the head of race control once again. Red Bull put in one of its most dominant performances ever, securing maximum points, while the Ferrari's of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc left the Tif...

Ferrari is on the front foot, the midfield is an absolute enigma, Gunther Steiner is throwing out chirps, and we're back in Italy. 

They came, we saw, Ted Shoey'd. The return to Australia was a race for the record books, with the highest turnout in event history. The Aussies were frothed, but Charles Leclerc outfrothed them with a hat trick on the weekend that saw Ferrari increase its lead over rivals Red Bull and Mercedes. Plus, who owns the midfield with a resurgent McLaren, Albon the tire whisperer, and WTF is going on at A...

After a 3 year, covid induced hiatus, Formula 1 makes it's way back to the land down under for the 2022 Australian Grand Prix. With track changes, re-surfacing, and new aero regs since the 2019 round, it could be anyone's race going into the 3rd round of this Formula 1 season. Maybe except for Aston Martin. 

We're only two races into the 2022 Formula 1 season and the gloves are already out. The pace the prancing horses showed during testing seems to be no fluke as they duked it out with Red Bull who made a stellar comeback after a devastating double DNF at the season opener. The midfield looks tighter than a minx. What the hell is going on with Merc. And we chat biggest winners and losers in this epis...

We all knew going into the 2021 Formula 1 season we were in for a battle between the rising Honda powered Red Bull's and the dominant defending champions Mercedes, but not even the producers of drive to survive could have written as much drama into this season as what we witnessed. From Max v Lewis, Red Bull v Merc, Horner v Wolff to Mazepin v Himself, plus all the other incredible storylines from...

We all saw the race. We all have opinions on it. We all agree Michael Masi's head must roll. 

To any other country looking to host their first Formula 1 Grand Prix, look to Saudi Arabia, where the incredibly fast, insanely unpredictable, and barely complete Jeddah Corniche circuit set the scene for an absolute clusterf*ck of a race that saw Race Control absolutely bottle job their roles. With only one race to go, and Max and Lewis even on points, it's all or nothing going into Abu Dhabi. P...
