On this chilled out edition of the pod, the dynamic duo is back to catch you up on their summer break misadventures! TBFP pours out a cold to our Australian mate, Daniel Ricciardo, as they try not to (yet again) end the pod all together.
On this episode, the crew has to issue another apology for a terrible mistake they made on a previous episode. Sara loses all respect for Max, and wishes that Bottas' girlfriend had a better sense of style! Breno reminds Sara that she was wrong. The crew relive the ups and inevitable downs of Kimi's race at Watkins Glenn, and discover a new star in Indy! Sara was right about Herta, and pulls de Vries out from under a Formula E car to let him know he'll never be in F1. Breno has to endure a Vanity Fair AND a GQ article, and forgets about every Formula 1 driver after they leave the sport!
So lets sit back and relax because it's TBFP's summer break episode!

From the baguette fields of Le Castellet to the goulash plains of Budapest, TBFP comes back at you with another double decker episode! The crew understands that, without anyone's permission, they failed to put out a pod after the French GP. This is wrong and they intend to make it up to the listening audience.
On this jam packed episode, the BFP crew experiences de ja vu all over again as Ferrari makes some questionable calls. Breno decides to, against all odds and common sense, defend the folks at Maranello! Sara totally eviscerates another target, and its NOT the FIA (although the FIA does get some of Sara's ire as well). The crew discuss the silliest of silly season, and Breno actually remembers that the new review center is in Geneva!
So lets raise our stellas and palinkas and get ready for the Paul Ricard and Hungaroring race recap!!!!!
