The Grandstand F1

We are back racing and holy shit, what a race it was! Does Valteri 3.0 take the rug out from under Lewis after a dominating weekend? Is this finally the end of Formula 1.5? What the hell is wrong with Ferrari? The boys take down all the headlines from an absolutely wild weekend in Austria on this episode of The Grandstand! 

After a long hiatus following what has been an absolute shit show of a year, the Formula 1 season is FINALLY here! The boys debate all things austria, take some always needed jabs at Nico Rosberg, and introduce a new Grandstand championship. And the most important question of all, will Nicholas Latifi become the new Romain Grosjean? All this and more of the best banter in F1 on this episode of The...

We're a week and a half out from the start of the F1 season and the boys are chomping at the bit to get racing back. With the shortened season, does this mean this year's champion will have an asterisk on their title? Will we see more competition for the podium? Will Lewis fit in his car after coming back ripped AF during the pandemic? The boys take on the tough questions and predict this years Wo...

The boys are back as we await the highly anticipated return of F1 at the Red Bull Ring. After being truly blessed with the earliest silly season on record to keep us occupied during the pandemic, is this it for Seb and F1? Did Ferrari finally make a good management decision? And, yes like everyone, we cannot wait to see Danny Ric and Lando team up at McLaren. Oh the bantz! All this and more on thi...

The races may be postponed, but that doesn't mean there aren't debates that need settling. In episode 3, PMoney and Knowles throwdown on the best races, battles, and drivers from the past decade, but most importantly, who had the biggest GroMo aka Romain Grosjean Moment. 

After getting super torqued for the 2020 F1 Championship in Episode 1, the season has now been called into jeopardy in the wake of the global COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak as the first three races have been either postponed or canceled. The boys banter about what this could mean for each team and for Lewis' quest for title number 7. 

The boys were at F1 testing this year and unveiled the 2020 Big Dick Energy Banner inspired by the late breaking daredevil himself Daniel Ricciardo and the talk of many team garages during the two weeks in Barcelona. We discuss the response, our takeaways from testing, Drive to Survive 2 (sorry Lando), and give our predictions for the upcoming Australian Grand Prix, where we have a new points syst...

We throw down on some of the best moments of the season and some of the worst and discuss our takeaways going into the 2020 season after another year of Mercedes dominance and the limping horse.  

Excuse the pun, but after an absolutely deplorable weekend in Germany and losing out to Red Bull on Pole, Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton once again show why they've been so dominate during the hybrid era with a strategy masterclass from the Hungaroring. 

Danil Kvyat getting a podium should be enough to tell you how this years German GP went. Max puts in a masterclass in the rain and Mercedes go full 2019 Ferrari and look like a bunch of bozo’s, literally and figuratively. Can it rain at every GP this season?

We have now had not just 1, but two back to back bangers. The silver arrows go at it, Max and Charles continue to show us the future, while Seb’s remains in question, Haas drivers doing Haas driver things. Also with Silverstone’s future in question, we discuss why this edition of the British Grand Prix reminds us of why it needs to be a mainstay on the F1 calendar. 

For the first time this season, we can finally write that a Mercedes did not, we repeat DID NOT, win this week's race at the Red Bull ring. We got a little taste of what the future hopefully entails as Max and Charles went head to head and the FIA to everyone's surprise STFU. 

In the 8th race of the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship as Mercedes go 1-2 again, we ask the question: what can be done to save us from this snooze fest of a season so far? 

The 2019 Canadian Grand Prix has come and gone and with the exception of maybe the worst rendition of Canada's national anthem we've ever heard, it did not disappoint! In what could go down as the most controversial decision from the stewards this season, the boys breakdown the 5 second penalty awarded to Seb that gave Lewis another victory, a terrible Kevin Magnussen and brilliant Guenther Steine...

Pirelli and tire strategy gave us yet another snoozer from the 2019 edition of the Spanish Grand Prix, with big questions being asked by the boys, and a frustrated Gene Haas, as to how long this tire debacle can last. What is now the best start to a Formula 1 season for any manufacturer, Mercedes go 1-2 once again with Lewis taking P1 and Valteri P2 from Catalonia, and Max Verstappen showing Ferra...

We're almost a quarter way through the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship and after high expectations, Ferrari has finished with only two 3rd place finishes through the first four Races. With Ferrari having won their last world championship over twelve years ago, and looking back on the last forty years of Ferrari in Formula 1, is it safe to say the Prancing Horse isn't really the team everyone exp...

With expectations high, Ferrari brought the heat all the way up until Q3 with Mercedes once again outclassing the Maranello outfit. Is it time for real concern amongst the Tifosi? Racing Point (Force India BWT Sport Pesa, Team Stroll-Slim?)have another excellent weekend, McLaren not only get both cars home, but in the points, Daniel Ricciardo channels 2018 Romain Grosjean, and last (as usual) but...

The Chinese Grand Prix was the 1000th race in F1's storied history. We look back on ANOTHER Mercedes 1-2, Checo going big on Lap 1, the return of TORPEDO, and Alex Albon's masterclass from the pits! 

Charles Leclerc gets his first ever pole position, but after an unprecedented short circuit on the control systems of his Ferrari, Merc go 1-2 again, this time with Lewis taking P1. We also ask the very serious question: Ferrari, why you gotta be so Italian? 

Formula 1 has become too stale. The glitz and the glamour of today's Formula 1 grid feels more like an episode of Keeping up With the Kardashian's rather the world's top tier of Motorsport. That's why your Hosts Pushan Bowick and Ryan Knowles are bringing you The Grandstand, a podcast about all things Formula 1 meant to bring some of the banter and colorful commentary from The Grandstands themselv...
