Episodes

Super dirty fancy people 10.12.2021

Laurence, Nate and Chris actually find themselves in the same place at the same time (eventually) so it's the first ever in-person episode. And we get a new scale of dirty from Laurence, a night on a yacht with Nate while Chris very nearly cuts Fernando Alonso while trying to spray him Learn more about your ad choices.

We embargoed this episode, but for who? 30.11.2021

There's a story about Lawrence retiring his new best friend Kimi early, Nate leaving lunch with Lando early, and Chris not wanting to publish this episode early. And we actually get serious for a bit to pay tribute to Sir Frank Williams Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Two out of three go rogue 24.11.2021

Nate tells his haters to piss off, Lawrence receives plenty of abuse from Guenther Steiner over brunch in Qatar, and Chris has a challenging time even before getting Kimi to speak for a whole 45 minutes Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We’re sad Nate didn’t get carjacked 17.11.2021

There's a lot of fallout from Brazil, not least Nate having a very armoured car to avoid all the hate he gets for being biased, or something like that. Lawrence is now best friends with Felipe Massa and Chris manages to draw with an F1 driver at something Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nothing rhymes with Tsunoda 10.11.2021

Nate gets so inspired on his flight to Brazil he writes a poem about Yuki, Lawrence tries to work out where the Mexican fans get their energy from, and Chris has a new toy to play with that means the levels are weird but there's a lot of fun buttons to press, including a new jingle...

Good morning Mexico 04.11.2021

Lawrence's neighbours all hate him as he wakes up his hotel in Mexico City, Nate talks about seeing large images of Sergio Perez's face, and Chris finally tells the story of his now-pointless trip to Barber for Nico Hulkenberg's test Learn more about your ad choices.

Two Pirelli tyres walk into a pub 27.10.2021

Nate gets a 10 for an original F1 joke he wrote on the plane to Austin, but he failed at the Santa Museum. Lawrence also failed at getting Daniel Ricciardo to stop laughing or talking in a Texan accent, and Chris failed at getting enough sleep. Plus why the Martin Brundle / Megan Thee Stallion rap fail wasn't a fail at all Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The sprint episode Nate was wrong to want 18.10.2021

Nate is so excited to go to Austin that he demanded we do this extra episode today, so it's all his fault. But there's some Mokpo chat, actual predictions for COTA, some sensational info about random cities in Texas and a request for your help finding Lawrence a burger Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

No time to pie, but Lando gets told a lie 13.10.2021

Nate can't stop talking about pie, Chris can't stop talking about Turkey and Lawrence can't stop a go kart in front of Lando Norris. (And yes, the audio isn't great but we trialled new software and you're not paying so don't @ us, we'll fix it for next time) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The best race Lawrence never saw 27.09.2021

Someone on the pod didn't even watch the race (live) but everyone has plenty to say about THAT McLaren call and Lando's lost win. Plus Lawrence has proper insider knowledge about the weather in Sochi, Nate worries about being harsh on the review and Chris puts on a weird voice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ricciardo breaks the Nate curse 15.09.2021

Danny Ric hadn't won since Nate's book about him was published, until now... So we get to work on a sequel, which will include the story of how he ended up doing an extra shoey out of Lawrence's boot. Plus Chris leaks a 60-second review outtake, and there's actual analysis of the latest episode of Max v Lewis Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The rave episode 08.09.2021

Nate and Chris can't stop singing Dutch techno songs after a fantastic first race back at Zandvoort, which is something Lawrence could only dream of after struggling to even say words. He does redeem himself by predicting the Albon news before it was announced, though. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A **** race in isolation 31.08.2021

The fans had it worse, but Nate and Chris have a tale of woe from Spa, while Lawrence has definitely gone up in the world arriving in his palace - sorry, 'hotel room' - in Zandvoort. There's a contentious 60-second review, and a probably equally contentious winner of the F1-themed joke giveaway Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The giveaway episode 18.08.2021

For listening to an episode in the summer break, you get the chance to win a copy of F1 2021 - but Nate's going to make you work for it. Lawrence gets worried by a listener's review, and Chris reveals a major regret as all three pick their ideal replacements for the cancelled race at Suzuka Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What a bunch of mugs 04.08.2021

Nate confuses the two Alfa Romeo drivers, Chris reveals he spent too long designing the first Pad-Hoc branded item, and Lawrence fails to make George Russell cry, but does make him laugh. Plus the 60-second review is a little bit good, and there's even an F1-themed joke from a listener. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Pierre called Nate babe! 20.07.2021

Sensational scenes as Nate attempts the challenge you set him, but first you do have to put up with all three debating THAT Verstappen and Hamilton clash as Nate and Lawrence gang up on Chris. Plus Tom Cruise being on Channel 4 basically makes him a Barretthoe, the 60-second review is spicy and there's a heartbreaking tale of separation Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/ad...

Silverstone: Challenge accepted 14.07.2021

Lawrence has a celebrity website entry all about his fame (or lack of it) that is too good to ignore, Nate is BUZZING to get to Silverstone to complete a challenge you've set him and Chris is slightly hungover courtesy of Aston Martin Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It’s less blowing and sucking and more puffing and sipping 08.07.2021

That's a legit title, even if it's shameless clickbait from what is actually a really cool story about Nate getting to drive Sam Schmidt's SAM car. Also in this episode, Chris still hasn't realised nobody agrees with him on the Norris/Perez penalty, and Lawrence is delirious after a triple-header so ruins a joke. Plus, you get the chance to set Nate a challenge... Learn more about your ad choices....

Nate called Gasly 'babe' 30.06.2021

You might think Gasly's latest race ending after one lap would make the 60-second review tough for Nate, but no. Lawrence feels sorry for Kimi, and Chris is already creating merch. (There's also too much football chat even before England beat Germany, although some of it is F1 related). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rosberg's heel and Toto 22.06.2021

Lawrence did the driver parade interviews from the back of a truck in France and it appears he's forgotten Max Verstappen is Dutch, Chris is back in the UK for 36 hours between races but his dog provides more interesting insight than he does, and Nate gets his fishing rod out for a different multiple world champion Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Boss BEEF and windbags: Well done, Baku 08.06.2021

We're not afraid to use the BEEF title again. Among a million other cool jobs on race day, Lawrence had a ringside seat for the Horner v Wolff sparring match that really started to kick off in Baku, while Nate deviates from his love of Gasly (sort of) and Chris gets called by the UK Government but won't let that stop him Learn more about your ad choices.

Medders made it to Indy 01.06.2021

If you weren't listening last week, there was jeopardy, and it only got worse before Chris finally made it out to the Indy 500. So he basically talks all the time, Nate reminds him that he did it properly with a full house in 2017, and Lawrence still delivers the intro and outro. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Charles - Porca miseria! 25.05.2021

Nate's 60-second review goes up a gear, Lawrence nearly crashes a boat in Monaco harbour (twice), and after being owned by Yuki Tsunoda in a passport queue, Chris is panicking over whether he's going to the Indy 500 or not Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Alonso - washed up? (Fishing emoji...) 18.05.2021

Nate's 60-second review gets risky, but he's just acting out as Lawrence and Chris both boast about being at the McLaren livery reveal and heading to Monaco. So there's plenty of chat about both of those things and some IndyCar sneaks in too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Gasly, love Gasly 05.05.2021

Nate fires through a 60-second race review from Portiwow - with mixed results - before challenging everyone to find a weird fact about past championship battles, while Lawrence feels sorry for Valtteri Bottas and Chris reminisces about an awesome evening spent eating steak with the late Uncle Bobby in Indianapolis Learn more about your ad choices.
