Tin Foil Helmets

Max Verstappen.  Lewis Hamilton. Someone who drove a williams. A chaos race ending.  Abu Dhabi 2021 shouldn't be relitigated, and we don't. but maybe we should! Wings fell apart. The monkey's paw curled. Great Britain was Great? Kinda.

How SO BACK do you have to be before you go right around to SO SCREWED? Does the heat make you forget how to do stragegy? What a snoozer of a race. At least we got some F1. Zoom Zoom. YELLOW FLAG!!!

Dominic said it was a banger. Does Andrew agree? LEWIS BACK ON TOP! BOOM! Also, The Crown season 5 coverage. Because that seems relevant? idk.

Should Charles pay income tax so that his race isn’t ruined? How much investment should a city state put in its roads? Monaco. Proved to be entertaining. Worth a watch. Kinda. Also should be renamed to 'penalty palooza' As always feedback is always welcome at  feedback@tinfoilhelmets.com .You can show your appreciation by following our Instagram and threads account @tinfoilhelmets ( https:...

Welcome to.. Sorry. lets try that again. Welcome to… No, Sorry. One more time. Welcome to Tin Foil Helmets -- where one of our hosts took too much glee at a specific DNF that occured, and we all collectively sigh at the fact it's monaco next time out.

Did Aston Martin literally go on spring break?  Don’t you hate it when its your time to shine and your younger coworker suddenly is the golden child. Huh. F1 took an unplanned break. We decided it was worth the wait, and watch Kimi transform into Can-tontelli. Also a little journey in to classic british hand gestures and the Paris-Roubaix & Cycling Something Something.  As always feedback is a...

Is George the new Nico Rosberg?  What are we going to do for a month?!?! It's cherry blossom season in the northern hemisphere. You know what that means? A race in Japan! Will we be overly bothered by clipping! Who cares, we're going racing!

Don’t people know Mario Kart is fun ? How badly would you treat a customer so you could beat them in a race? It’s Race 2, it’s in China, it’s a sprint race, and we are, as you all are, conflicted about good or bad. What do we think? WE DONT KNOW. But it was fun. But was it *empty* fun? We don’t know. But also people were smiling, so… As always feedback is always welcome at feedback@tinfoilhelmets....

Did you upgrade your design & manufacturing departments, but forget about the engine dept? Well, you’re Aston Martin! Welcome to Australia — the first race of the 2026 F1 season with entirely new engines, entirely new cars, and only one new driver! It was fun — for 12 laps! There was upset! There were DNFs! There were ZOMBIE CARS! As always feedback is always welcome at feedback@tinfoilhelmets...

It’s the preseason! We’re back! We’re vibing — in the good way, not the Honda Engine in an Aston Martin Way! We made some predictions. We cover all the drama between seasons! We are ready!

We finally got around to the post season, ground effect era exit interview discussion… We make it clear that the ground effect era was not what we wanted. And Nor was the season. We also may have veered off course a few times. But we made sure to put most of that at then, so if you’re enjoying our accidental media review podcast, stick around for the extra 20 minute that I got from a whole extra h...

Lewis Hamilton finally gets his 8th in Abu Dhabi! What way would you want to win the championship? It was a race. Everything went down as the probabilities foretold. It happened his way, and he was very nice about it. But it’s also the end of the era. We think. It’s certainly the end of *an* era. And maybe we go off on a tangent about Christmas Media. Maybe. As always feedback is always welcome at...

Would you lose the world drivers title in the name of fairness?  Did this race rock your world?  It’s the last Sprint of the season — oh thank god — and the rules for the razor-sharp curbs and pineapple sized gravel rocks means it was never going to have any racing. And we were right! It was a strategy race where fairness ruined it for everyone. As always feedback is always welcome at feedback@tin...

Would you walk 1000 miles to save your season tonight? Are you as thick as two short planks? McLaren Certainly… aren’t? We’re back in vegas. They made it as a much less annoying time, and brought along F1 Academy for the best racing of the year. We watched the race and thought it was all settled, but fell asleep — like a normal person — before chaos ensued and DSQs turned the whole thing upside do...

Or are we heading for a dramatic finish? Brazil Delivered the best dry race of the season. Both home-race drivers (Bortoleto, Hamilton) didn’t make it to the end of the race. Max showed us Super-ish Max. We realise how good the Brazil track really is, and wonder when it’ll be dropped from the season ‘cause someone else wants to pay more money.

How angry do you have to be on the radio to get fired from mercedes? Should Lance Stroll Become a Dancer? Mexico Happened. Everything exciting happened in Turn 1, Lap 1. Mostly. But we also learn about other sporting events this week that helped us make it through the race. It was a good race. But also not shocking.

Brits should stop making references about Texas. Or something. It upset Andrew. We have begrudgingly accepted that sometimes Sprint Races can be fun. Dominic still forgets about them though. But also crashing is not always fun. The F1 Circus is back in Austin (and will be for another decade!), so we had an enjoyable race the at the same time was… sleepy. But also SUPER MAX. As always feedback is a...

Is not wearing a vest a fashion statement or a performance disadvantage? Should LMVH make a stylish one? What are your pro-tips for taking a nap at 8am? Oh. Yeah, there was a race again this weekend. In Singapore. And if theres ever a sign that F1 is too safe now, there weren’t any safety cars. For the second time in its 15 year history. Anyway, we talked about what racing there was, and then we t...

Did you put a ferrari magnet at turn 15? What do you do when qualifying has more red flags than a former team principal? This weekend was exciting for qualifying, and one lap of the race. So we also decided to supplement our podcast with a brief journey into discussing television - Star Trek specifically. Then we got back to wrapping up the race. Sorry, but it’s not our fault… As always feedback i...

How can going so fast, be so mediocre? When your team mate trips on their own shoelace, would you stop to help them? We blasted through this race so we could get to napping because it really wasn’t note worthy — well, other than the papaya! Yes, we’re back in Monza, Yes, McLaren are making weird calls from inside the house. As always feedback is always welcome at  feedback@tinfoilhelmets.com .You...

How much shame can you sustain before you finally accept that your team isn’t actually good? Sonny Hayes vs. Lance Stroll: who causes more damage. We’re back baby, and boy do we finish this race review! We didn’t DNF at all — unlike three drivers in this Dutch Grand Prix! As always feedback is always welcome at feedback@tinfoilhelmets.com.

Don’t you hate it when you are leading the race but then you remember you race for Ferrari? Don’t you hate it when you listened to your heart, and not your head, and decide to drive for Ferrari?  Hungary happened. Which can be based summed on — on almost all levels — as ‘Disappointment’. For Lewis — because it was a very sad weekend. Charles — because his hopes were dashed. Lando because he whiffe...

It was Belgium! And we all had a moment of panic of where it looked like 2021 — The Sequel. But then it was OK, and there was racing! Lewis was very mad at himself. Oscar was perfect. Also we talk about K-Pop Demon Hunters. But also stay for the post show. And, Christian Horner got fired.

What would you do to get out of a Job? What if the thing you strive for your whole like ended up being made out of Lego? THERE WAS RAIN! There was hope, there were penalties, there were conspiracies. It is, of course, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone!
