The Pad-Hoc

In the absence of Imola, we thought we'd do a show this Sunday in case you're that desperate for F1 content. Even though this is barely F1 content - there's MLB talk, IndyCar talk, gardening talk and eventually some Imola and Monaco talk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We wake up ESPN TV star Nate from a jet-lagged nap to record, and it shows.

Lawrence is on his way back to New York, having been in New York last Friday with the other two.

Nate has been discovering pubs with Lawrence or discovering breweries with Chris, who is just happy F1 never suffers from frozen pitches.

Nate's had a promotion, Lawrence hasn't had a fan gift and Chris has been outing a panel of drivers for things they thought they'd said in a private setting.
