We did it, Vankers. We survived a totally mid F1 season. But you know what's NOT mid? Our spicy season wrap-up. The guys talk about how the season was basically a Thanksgiving dinner, how Ferrari had us in the first half, why Carlos Sainz looks so natural on a beach, when Mercedes took a little too much flat tummy tea, the PTSD of Monaco, the mindset of Daniel Ricciardo fans, porpoising (remember that??), why we won't blindly root for our own countrymen, Pierre Gasly vs. Esteban Ocon, and why th...

Live from New York -- it's THE RED FLAGS!! WHEW what a season. It didn't matter that the race was a snoozer because we had LOTS to discuss. Like THE Sebastian Vettel Farewell Dinner, how Max Verstappen is basically Trump and the fact that he's not a serial killer should be studied, the drivers' rap personas, Sir Lewis Hamilton running a social media agency from his cockpit, who's the best driver at "middling," parents on social media, Max having a lot of time to change his public image, next sea...

We finally watched Season 1 of "Fernando" on Amazon Prime and we've got a lot to say. The guys discuss how Carlos Sainz Sr. is the Daddy of the Universe, why Fernando Alonoso might be the most environmentally sustainable F1 driver on the grid, starting a fundraiser to send Matt to Alonso's museum and karting school in Spain, Nico Rosberg's neverending trolling of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton, and why Brian's guilt would get in the way of his F1 dreams.

The race may have been a snooze, but we've got an episode hotter than the Mariachi remix of the F1 theme song. We cover all the drama that happened leading up to the race -- Will Buxton deciding to come for the commentator GOD Martin Brundle, why Fernando Alonso is the Shakespearean villain of F1, Ted Kravitz proudly representing TeamLH, Red Bull's boycott of SkySports, and the insanity of Bernie Ecclestone brokering the cost cap punishment. Plus -- how hot we are for Daniel Ricciardo's redempti...

If finally meeting in person to go to our first GP and produce a live show wasn't crazy enough, we got to interview the ABSOLUTE LEGEND -- Alfa Romeo Team Principal, Fred Vasseur. Fred talks to us about the potential for him becoming "Drive to Survive's" next breakout star, how he keeps rookie drivers motivated after setbacks, up-and-coming talent, what would happen if the team principals went karting, if fame's changed Guenther, and what it's like being Lewis Hamilton's stycon.

She teaches the guys what NOT to do in karting and how to master turn 1 at COTA, explains how racing is like acting, commiserates with Matt about back pain, and helps us strategize how to get more sponsors and develop our brand values (spoiler alert: we don't have any).

The only thing more egregious than the FIA's corruption is Matt's deathbed voice (get well soon, bubbeleh!). The boys cover all the headlines from this week's Japanese GP including Pierre Gasly's warranted anger, why the FIA should hire us if they want to become really good at cheating, the cinematic story arc of Seb vs. Alonso, how Christian's whooping Toto in 3D chess, why we should invade Switzerland, Sir Lewis and Max being eerily similar, why Danny Ric has too much to live for , and 2 simpl...

Listen to Brian and Matt get their minds blown by this week's guest, the Virtual Statman aka Sean Kelly. We put the Researcher/F1 Experiences Host/certified genius to work with pop quizzes, requests for stats that slander Ferrari, and data pulls that show why Alonso is the greatest driver in F1 history.

Honestly, we're as shocked as you are. Not only did we produce an episode a week for an entire year, but we also somehow got the GODFATHER of motorsport and the only driver that Matt's dad knows -- Mario Andretti -- as our guest. Find out how he adapted to different types of driving, what porpoising was like in the 70s, and who his favorite hot lap celeb is.UPDATE: We've somehow found a group of people to hate more than Ferrari -- the majority of the U,S. supreme court. Because this episode was ...

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.
