The Red Flags Podcast

Have friends who just finished "Drive to Survive?" Or are you trying to recruit more people to watch F1 so you're not the only one who's unhealthily obsessed? This episode is for them. Matt and Brian go over the basics of F1 in a way that's as clear and straightforward as the Paul Ricard track.

F1 Twitter's number 1 sh*tposter, Dan Drury, AKA EngineMode11, talks to the guys about what it was like to do IT for Helmut Marko, why Max would visit the Geek Squad, party monster Adrian Newey, why Dan's blocked by WTF's Matt Gallagher (c'mon dude, he's a changed man!), who he thinks are the biggest FRAUD drivers and team principals, and what it's like to TECHNICALLY host Lewis Hamilton in your h...

Ooops they did it again. They played with our heart. Got lost in the game. Oh baby, baby. We actually had other stuff to talk about besides Ferrari f*cking up YET AGAIN.

TOO JACKED?, the uncut gems of F1, Uncle Vettel vs. Uncle Alonso, Christian and Toto during World War II, and Ferrari fans' v...

There's some unpacking trauma vibes in the first half of the pod and you can thank Ferrari for that BECAUSE THEY KEEP MASSACRING OUR BOY CHARLES LECLERC!!! But the energy shifts once the guys start comparing Mick Schumacher to a potty-trained puppy. We also cover KMag's viking sh*t, what Matt has in common with Lewis Hamilton, and why George Russell is the type of guy that shouldn't listen to this...

The Canada GP was the opposite of Canada the country in that it wasn't BORING AS FUCK. We were all about Alonso's qualifying, Chuck's killing spree. Hamilton's loving his car all of a sudden. We also came up with a theme song FOR EVERY SINGLE DRIVER ON THE GRID. Also debated Lana Del Ray vs. Phoebe Bridgers vs. Mitski and the state of Sad Girl Music in general. What else do you want from an F1 pod...

Baku might not have brought it, but we still got a whole lot of slutty stuff to talk about. Like how Toto's cheating on Lewis with George, why the Red Bull junior program's basically the DMV, Alonso being Dr. Evil AND the Joker, the solution for pay drivers, Yuki's slapstick pit stop, and an analogy SO GOOD, we almost ended the pod right then and there. You'll want to stay tuned until the end for...
