  • Spanish Grand Prix 2025. With Some or Other Passions.
    Jun 2 2025

    A petulant Max Verstappen takes himself and Red Bull out of the fight. GOAT? While Oscar Piastri builds his championship lead over McLaren teammate, Lando Norris. Join Patrick and Brian on the Hard Compound for complete analysis of the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.

    • Max Verstappen proves he's no Michael Jordan. More like Tiger Woods after his fall from grace.
    • Is F1 now too American? We discuss.
    • Red Bull's second seat is like wearing the red jersey in Star Trek. Is it the end of the line for Yuki Tsunoda?
    • Points for Alonso! And Hulkenberg! What a year.
    • All that, plus our crazy predictions for Montreal. Including one involving Taylor Swift and Martin Brundle. Give a listen and subscribe.

  • Monaco Grand Prix 2025. Run the Jewels.
    May 28 2025

    Europeans may think the Monaco Grand Prix is a dud but Americans love watching the glitz, glamor, big boats and big shots. And with America taking over F1, the Monaco Grand Prix will remain. Agree?

    Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound where we discuss the Monaco Grand Prix, make our predictions for next week's Spanish Grand Prix, and discuss our thoughts on the future of Formula One. But, wait. There's more.

    • Why McLaren prefer Lando Norris over Oscar Piastri.
    • Why driving that second Red Bull is like wearing the Star Trek red shirt.
    • Don't look now, but Liam Lawson is outperforming Yuki Tsunoda.
    • Plus, our crazy predictions for F1 2030, and what needs to happen to get F1 races back in France and Germany.

  • Episode 103. Imola Grand Prix 2025. Owner of a Lonely Heart.
    May 23 2025

    We've spoken about Lando Norris needing that championship mettle. But, really, it's Charles Leclerc who seems to accept decisions by Ferrari that Lewis Hamilton would never, nor Fernando Alonso, nor Sebastian Vettel, certainly never Michael Schumacher. Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound for analysis of the 2025 Imola Grand Prix.

    • Does McLaren have the Constructor's title already sewn up?
    • That turn 1 overtake by Max Verstappen wasn't just brilliant. It was a statement.
    • Will we ever get used to watching Lewis Hamilton not racing for Mercedes?
    • What does the new Disney partnership with F1 portend for American audiences?
    • All the F1 rookies have been under immense pressure, except for Kimi Antonelli. Until now.
    • The slow death of Alpine, our predictions for next week's race in Monaco, and more. Including, our strong support for the F1 cost cap and our hope that they increase pay for the amazing engineering staff.
