018 - Hungary for Waffles

07/25/23 • 64 min

On this episode, Dan and Andy recap the '23 Hungarian Grand Prix.
We deep dive into the weekend in Budapest. We talk about the Alternate Tyre Allocation, whether or not Alfa Romeo is back, who's the cheekiest driver on the grid, and whether or not McLaren can run down Ferrari and Aston or not. Believe it or not, no Guenther talk, but this pod is not short on talking crap on Ferrari and Checo.

019 - Cancel the Wet Tyre ... and Checo

On this episode, Dan and Andy recap the '23 Belgian Grand Prix.
We deep dive into the weekend in Spa. We talk about how the track is a combination of really two different tracks, how teams had absolutely no idea how the tyres would degrade, gave some Amateur Tech Talk on "downforce", and how absolutely silly it is that F1 carries all these Wet Tyres to each race track every weekend. Oh and there was some racing this weekend: We congratulate Charles, Lewis, and Fernando... we chastise Carlos (again) and we cancel Checo (again).
