Girlies, it's been two years of me being on my phone every time you've put on F1, but this year I'm actually going to become a fan. But I need you to give me a rundown first. Sure. 10 teams. 20 drivers. 2 drivers per team. 24 races. 6 sprints. Across 10 months. In 5 continents. 2 championships. Drivers' championship. And Constructors' championship. Points for the top 10 finishers. Practice sessions. Qualifying. And races on the Sunday. Strategies. Pit stops. Tyre compounds.
Fuel and engine management. Weather. Flag systems. Green. Go. Yellow. Caution. Red. Stop. Blue. Move for the lapping car. Black and white. Warning. Checkered flag. And the race is over. Pole position. Podiums. Penalties. Clean air. Lock up. Graining. Flat spots. Track limits. DRS. Chicane. Camber. Apex. Grid box. Paddock. Drama. Like Lawson replacing Perez at Red Bull. Gossip. Like Lewis' move to Ferrari getting leaked. Rumours. And maybe Max is going to Aston Martin? Wait, wait, wait.
This is all very overwhelming. Do you actually have faith that I'm going to become an F1 fan by the end of this? Well, we have the 2025 season to find out. Grand Prix, coming soon to wherever you listen to your podcasts.
