Alright, gang! The wait is over, and your favorite band of belated broadcasters are BACK! This time the BFP crew recaps COTA and the Mexican GP!
On this episode:
The crew goes over the end of the cost cap saga and the repercussions of the breech.
Sara gives Sky a talking to, and Breno laments that Red Bull will end their boycott of them. The crew celebrates the greatest moment in motorsports and shares their love of the oldest grudge in F1! Sara wonders who asked Buxton, gushes about Sam Collins, and gives Gasly a stern warning! Breno takes Sara's place in criticizing the FIA and forgets that Sara had George Russell as her #1 driver for the first half of the season.
So lets get our cowboy hats and sombreros on and order some Tex-Mex because it's the recap for COTA and the Mexican GP!!!

Welcome to another edition of TBFP! As the orange smoke settles, TBFP crew snaps to action to recap an eventful Austrian GP!
The crew reports on the latest news as teams get a much need raise on the cost cap (you won't believe who amongst the team principals did not think it was enough!). The FIA, as Sara predicted, punts on bouncegate (which has now become flexgate). Breno gets no reassurances from Mattia Binotto, and pleads for more SPF for Dutch fans. Sara takes everyone out and catches Pirelli with a stray for good measure. The crew wonders what the FIA could possibly do to top themselves after this weekend, and Breno forgets to mention plan E!
So lets put on some sun block and be on our best behavior because it's the recap for the Austrian GP!

Welcome back to another edition of TBFP! It's a return to the historic Silverstone circuit
after the massive collision between Max and Lewis last season. The crew dives in head first into another crazy week in Formula 1.
Sara and Breno navigate you through all the news leading up to the British GP and the implications on the future of the sport. Breno sings the praises of Crofty's craft. Sara gives the FIA the side-eye in another confusing week for bouncegate. Breno sides with Russell on etiquette at the track, and actually remembers that Russell's radio was from the Hungarian GP but Sara absolutely shuts him down. Finally, on a shocking turn of events, Sara reveals that she has a new favorite driver! Will Kimi ever recover from this one? Will TBFP crew still make the trip to Watkins Glenn? Does Minttu listen to this pod?
All this and more on TBFP's recap of the British GP!!!!

We're Blue, Abu Dhabi, Goodbye

The Blue Flag Podcast

On this miraculous episode of the BFP, the crew tries, and most certainly fails, to describe what happened in Abu Dhabi. Sara is increasingly perplexed by the inconsistencies of the FIA as she makes her official bid for race director. Breno is sad to be denied a final Mazepin/Schumacher batter. And the entire BFP crew say their goodbyes to the one and only Kimi Raikkonen. The end of an era and, possible, the start of a BFP myth...? Sara celebrates Checo's battle with Lewis and Breno forgets about Tsunoda, Sainz, Norris, Brake Magic...we're not sure what he remembered on this one.
So, hold on to your hats because this one is a doozy! It's the recap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix!

Hola! And Welcome back to another belated race recap for the BFP crew!
The crew is returning with hot takes on everything F1. In this episode, Breno praises Lewis for his self sacrifice in the name of the team.

The crew discuss yet another circuit having logistical issues, and Sara takes up the plight of F1 fans around the globe. Breno almost forgets what happened to Leclerc!
Will this be the end of Ferrari's bid for a world title? Will the crew have the courage to discuss Ricciardo's race? Did Sara find out what happened to Ocon? Listen in for all the answers in our Spanish Grand Prix recap!!!!

Oye, mi gente! It's time for TBFP to recap their personal experiences with the inaugural Miami GP!
On this episode, Sara and Breno give first hand accounts on all the mayhem of that weekend. From endless lines for water to an epic journey to their parking lots, the crew spared no expense to get as much information from every side of the track (well, from the places that they were allowed to go). Sara laments the end of her WNBA career, and throws massive shade (which was in massive shortage that weekend) at the organization of the Miami GP. Breno whines about the sun and forgets to drink water instead of Heineken!
So let's drink our mojitos and make sure we get in the shade because it's the recap of the Miami GP!

We're back for the 2023 season opener! New liveries, new faces, new ...well, everyone is about where they were as of last season, so no new upsets...besides Aston Martin!
On this episode, Sara was right (yet again!) as we learn of the news of Ben Sulayem stepping back from his involvement with F1. But what does this mean for Andretti/Cadillac (yes, that Cadillac!) entering F1? Meanwhile, Breno tries to steer every conversation away from McLaren's performance and the crew hail Bottas 8.0!
They talk about the "evolution" of the 2023 cars and the uprise of Aston. If it wasn't for Alonso, this race would have been pretty dull and while Breno is here for Alonso at the top of the pack again, Sara is going to need some convincing. And maybe a Peloton.
So let's don our new Alfa Romeo gear and get ready for another race under the lights!
Bye bye!
