  • Episode 87. Mexico Grand Prix 2024. With a little help from my friends.
    Oct 29 2024

    Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound where we discuss the Mexico Grand Prix and this amazing 2024 F1 season. Lando Norris fighting to the last (with help from the stewards) to win his first driver's championship. Ferrari fighting to the last to win (another) Constructor's title. Fernando Alonso still fighting at 400! Great stuff. But, wait. There's more!

    • Ferrari may not have regrets, but they should. Carlos Sainz has helped build them into a championship contender. Bringing on Lewis Hamilton next year completely changes the intra-team dynamic.
    • Red Bull is a den of wolves and Sergio Perez is only human.
    • Is Max Verstappen going to win his 4th WDC driving just the 4th best car?
    • Why F1 needs permanent stewards.
    • The aerodynamics voodoo causing so much chaos in Formula 1 from race to race.
    • The ridiculously charmed life of Charles Leclerc.
    • Why we should make the sprints a rookies-only event.
    • Why shouldn't F1 drivers enjoy a smoke (or a Uncrustable) while serving a penalty?
    • Finally, how cute was Yuki Tsunoda as a baby?

  • Episode 85. The one mostly about Daniel Ricciardo.
    Oct 8 2024

    Smiles awake you when you rise, Daniel. But your time in F1 has come to an end. Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound and we discuss Ricciardo's contribution to Formula 1, and what he should do next. And why he was robbed of a proper send-off.
    But, wait. There's more.

    • Patrick says do not get used to watching Liam Lawson.
    • Why only Max Verstappen is holding Red Bull together.
    • How F1 is becoming more like the NFL. And how McLaren's Zak Brown is becoming more like Jerry Jones.
    • Does Lando Norris have what it takes to battle for the WDC, every single lap of every single race?
    • Plus, Brian workshops his theory on aerodynamics voodoo and why it's not good for F1.
