Episode #1: Greetings and 2023 Formula One Predictions

Our VERY inaugural (really??) episode is a rambling opus dedicated to our predictions for the upcoming F1 season. We've got lots to learn about podcasting, but look forward to talking about all types of racing with each other and with special guests in the weeks and months ahead.

Episode #3: 2023 Jeddah GP

After the inaugural Saudi GP, which included an irrelevant penalty for one driver brake checking another, and the 2022 GP including actual rockets falling from the sky mere kilometers from the track...what excitement did the 2023 Saudi GP bring? As it turns out, not much beyond the stewards once again proving they're inept. Alonso made it on to the podium, was booted off the podium, and then made it back on to the podium. Mercedes did better than expected, but all is not well as Russell refuses team orders. Ferrari underperforms, and once again fails at basic strategy. The mid-field is sorta interesting. One unnecessary safety car later, and we're talking about a yet another boring AF win for RBR, complete with Driver #1's father being a dickbag to Driver #2.
