059 The Most Midfield Driver of All Time - Austrian GP

07/03/24 • 56 min

Welcome back Midfielders! We had a real sizzler in the Energy Drink Ring this past weekend! A real mixup on the top steps which was ever-so refreshing. We know you're all excited for our groundbreaking analysis and heart-stopping takes, so let's waste no time and get right into another excellent week of Midfield action!
0:00 - Intro's/ How we partook in Sunday's super showdown, one park-bound the other couch-locked, reach out to us on our socials and let us how you like to enjoy your race day!
4:00 - Red cars, won and done! Booked and cooked! Carlos gets a podium and Charlie's eyes get left in the rearview as he barely escapes the points. These guys need to get it together to remain relevant in the constructors.
7:41 - McLaren! Woooaaahhhh there! Easy girl! Too much more outta you and we'll have to stable ya with the Energy Drink Team. Another amazing showing from the papayas, and a near double podium! We'll take all the excitement we can get while we can still talk about The Zak Brown Band.
15:00 - Mercs! How can we have so many Midfield teams do SO well and we haven't even hit the winner?! Oh yeah, Darth and Lando, but still! Georgie Porgie was the guy ready to scoop up the ball and take it past the goal line. The Silver Arrows are storming, but is it enough to catch the orange and blue cars?
20:00 - A quick laugh at the Mexican Midfielder. Checo does Checo things, we're not surprised, but we love it!
22:58 - It's getting tougher and tougher to find nice things to say about EITHER of the Astons these days, but we find a way. We've got waning interest from Fernando and a real lack of performance from Daddy's Boy.
28:20 - VCARB? More like V-Questionable. Yuki's sliding and Danny's mediocre at best. Their position at the top of the Kirkland Brand table is tentative to say the least. We'll go a head and squish them right in there with our favorite new French homies! They might not be flying up the table, but we love the drama, we love how even they are, we love how many P10 Challenge Points these goofs have scored us in previous weeks! P9-11 is about as Midfield as it can get. J'adore!
34:23 - Bad boys bad boys, what you gonna do?! As usual these guys keep it fun on the track and really just do their own thing. Can Magnussen keep it clean for yet another consecutive race and deny yet another BOLDie? We're on the edge of our vandalized seats.
38:10 - Dan gives us a track preview, and waffles a bit on his pronunciation. That's okay, it's about to get waaaay worser. Say what you want about the Brits, they build a damn fine race track. Likelihood of rain, high, its the UK... looking forward to seeing the drivers be put to the test as usual.
41:00 - We get into our Brit-ish name game! We had a great response from our listeners as Patrick slaughters the names of people's homes, so we're back at it again. We've even added a second bit to see if Patrick can sniff out if these screwy names are even real or not! Great fun all around!
50:00 - We make some BOLDies and get all set and ready for Silverstone! We hope you enjoy our nonsense as much as we have! Thanks for listening, and don't forget to reach out to us on socials, links below!

Welcome back Midfielders! Get settled in with us as we recap the Spanish Grand Prix. We travel down the constructor's table re-living all the glorious action from a sun-drenched Spain. All this, some BOLDies (old and new!), and a look ahead to the Austrian GP. It's lights out and away we go on this week's episode of the Midfield!
6:15 - Starting at the top, or are we? Patty's favorite red cars aren't looking as good as they're supposed to, and we're slightly concerned. For the start of a triple-header, this is not the look you're going for. At least the boots are stayin' wet and the violins are stayin' warm.
13:05 - Good day McLaren! Had an excellent start to the weekend, and managed to keep it locked in to finish on the podium. We're talking about Lando of course. Oscie can't find his way past P5 in the last several races, and we think Lando could use a little backup on the grid and in the points. Although if they do too much better we won't be able to talk about them anymore.
18:10 - Dan almost lands last week's BOLDie! Just a position off, but still within the same team! You love him, we love him, everybody loves Hambo! Another smooth circuit from the resurfacing silver arrows of Mercedes. The boys get into a "killer" debate about George, and we feel we'll see some truer colors of our little Englishman in the remaining double-header.
25:30 - Checo made Q3 and turned himself into a baguette! Always neat when you're in the best car hanging out with the Alpines. Sell that merch Sergio. We get into some questionable ad placements, and questionable everything-VCARB.
31:10 - We dip into Aston Martin, about as much as the production crew over the weekend. We say something nice, and that's about all there was to say about the green guys. Quiet weekend from 'Nando and Daddy's Boy.
33:35 - Our latest favorites! P10 Challenge victors this week. The mediocre moves of Esteban Ocon prove just groovy enough for us to remain atop our meaningless mountain. Does the Kirkland brand midfield have a new champion? Keep it rolling, keep it French.
45:25 - Dan gives us a track preview as we look ahead to the Austrian Grand Prix. Little bit of everything in the energy drink ring. Looking forward to melting rubber through 3 DRS zones and a sprint weekend to boot! Wowzers, what a weekend awaits!
We make a few more BOLDies for the upcoming race and say goodbye for yet another week. Thanks again for listening, and be sure to follow us on socials. Links below!

060 - Down but not out! - British GP recap/ Hungaroring preview!

Wwwwelcome back Midfielders!
My-how we've missed you! Dan is still shovelling buckets of water overboard while Patrick rigs together a bycicle-toaster-antennae to muster up enough internet to bring the people what they so desperately crave! More Midfield action! Laggy internet and lack of power be damned!
0:00 - Intros/A quick recap of the British GP. Houston wasn't the only soggy place over the weekend! A bit of on and off rain during the race kept the strategies up in the air, and us on the edge of our seats. Our Midfield guys had a heck of a weekend, scoring points all over the place. A bad boy in 6th? A Williams with points? Total madness mate!
9:20 - The boys make some picks for the upcoming race and continue the good fight against the bad-internet goblins. We love McLaren, what else is new? Dan does a lil' track preview, and lil' complainin' about our beloved Hungarian GP. Just the name(s), the track's a gem. Patty gets his mind blown by the double DRS single-detection zone concept.
16:02 - F1 MOVIE!? It's got a really dynamic name and trailer, and a Brad PItt, so that's neat. We start lickin' our silly season chops with some more drama from our boi Squishy Boots. How will he shake up the grid as he appears to have said sayonara to Williams?
Thanks again for listening and powering through our recording woes! Our hearts go out to all the storm victims down south, and we send you all the T's and P's we know how to send!
