We finally got around to the post season, ground effect era exit interview discussion… We make it clear that the ground effect era was not what we wanted. And Nor was the season. We also may have veered off course a few times. But we made sure to put most of that at then, so if you’re enjoying our accidental media review podcast, stick around for the extra 20 minute that I got from a whole extra hour of waffle…

Lewis Hamilton finally gets his 8th in Abu Dhabi!
What way would you want to win the championship?
It was a race. Everything went down as the probabilities foretold. It happened his way, and he was very nice about it. But it’s also the end of the era. We think. It’s certainly the end of *an* era. And maybe we go off on a tangent about Christmas Media. Maybe.

Would you lose the world drivers title in the name of fairness?
Did this race rock your world?
It’s the last Sprint of the season — oh thank god — and the rules for the razor-sharp curbs and pineapple sized gravel rocks means it was never going to have any racing. And we were right! It was a strategy race where fairness ruined it for everyone.

Would you walk 1000 miles to save your season tonight?
Are you as thick as two short planks? McLaren Certainly… aren’t?
We’re back in vegas. They made it as a much less annoying time, and brought along F1 Academy for the best racing of the year. We watched the race and thought it was all settled, but fell asleep — like a normal person — before chaos ensued and DSQs turned the whole thing upside down.

Or are we heading for a dramatic finish?
Brazil Delivered the best dry race of the season. Both home-race drivers (Bortoleto, Hamilton) didn’t make it to the end of the race. Max showed us Super-ish Max. We realise how good the Brazil track really is, and wonder when it’ll be dropped from the season ‘cause someone else wants to pay more money.

How angry do you have to be on the radio to get fired from mercedes?
Should Lance Stroll Become a Dancer?
Mexico Happened. Everything exciting happened in Turn 1, Lap 1. Mostly. But we also learn about other sporting events this week that helped us make it through the race. It was a good race. But also not shocking.

Brits should stop making references about Texas. Or something. It upset Andrew.
We have begrudgingly accepted that sometimes Sprint Races can be fun. Dominic still forgets about them though. But also crashing is not always fun. The F1 Circus is back in Austin (and will be for another decade!), so we had an enjoyable race the at the same time was… sleepy. But also SUPER MAX.

Is not wearing a vest a fashion statement or a performance disadvantage? Should LMVH make a stylish one?
What are your pro-tips for taking a nap at 8am?
Oh. Yeah, there was a race again this weekend. In Singapore. And if theres ever a sign that F1 is too safe now, there weren’t any safety cars. For the second time in its 15 year history. Anyway, we talked about what racing there was, and then we took some sidebars about recurring diversions such as Star Trek…

Did you put a ferrari magnet at turn 15?
What do you do when qualifying has more red flags than a former team principal?
This weekend was exciting for qualifying, and one lap of the race. So we also decided to supplement our podcast with a brief journey into discussing television - Star Trek specifically. Then we got back to wrapping up the race. Sorry, but it’s not our fault…

How can going so fast, be so mediocre?
When your team mate trips on their own shoelace, would you stop to help them?
We blasted through this race so we could get to napping because it really wasn’t note worthy — well, other than the papaya! Yes, we’re back in Monza, Yes, McLaren are making weird calls from inside the house.

How much shame can you sustain before you finally accept that your team isn’t actually good?
Sonny Hayes vs. Lance Stroll: who causes more damage.
We’re back baby, and boy do we finish this race review! We didn’t DNF at all — unlike three drivers in this Dutch Grand Prix!

Don’t you hate it when you are leading the race but then you remember you race for Ferrari?
Don’t you hate it when you listened to your heart, and not your head, and decide to drive for Ferrari?
Hungary happened. Which can be based summed on — on almost all levels — as ‘Disappointment’. For Lewis — because it was a very sad weekend. Charles — because his hopes were dashed. Lando because he whiffed the start. Oscar ‘cause he lost ground to Lando. Max because his car is crap. And the fans because we all watched 20 cars go around in circles for an hour and a half.

It was Belgium! And we all had a moment of panic of where it looked like 2021 — The Sequel. But then it was OK, and there was racing! Lewis was very mad at himself. Oscar was perfect. Also we talk about K-Pop Demon Hunters. But also stay for the post show. And, Christian Horner got fired.

THERE WAS RAIN! There was hope, there were penalties, there were conspiracies. It is, of course, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone!

Have Williams been too hot this season?
Did Kimi Punt Max into George's seat?
There was a race where Mercedes went bowling with their second driver once more — but this time it wasn’t a strike! Just one pin was knocked down — the king pin! Yes, we’re talking about Austria! Fastest laptop on the track, but it provides so much excitement!

If you aren’t the favourite child, how much would you whine about it?
Is a groundhog a metaphor for lewis’s recent career performance?
The Canadian Grand Prix — a race where everyone was very nice to each other until one driver wasn’t paying attention and caused utter chaos 3 laps from the end! Which means we have opinions!

What lengths would you go to take a week off work?
How do you feel when the kid ruins your plans for the day?
Welcome to the spiciest race of the season so far — which means we get even spicier! Barcelona, against many expectations, was interesting & fun. Until a kid breaks their toy car, and puts a dent in your plans for the weekend so you decide it’s time to just get penalised enough to you don’t have to go to work for a week…

Would you speed, and then tell the police officer you did it on purpose?
By the way Andrew, Are you upset with me?
It’s that race again. The most boring race of the calendar. The most glamorous race of the calendar (Sorry Las Vegas). They tried to spice it up, but sadly they failed. At least we have Indy 500 to distract us.

Franz Hermann makes his F1 debut. We wonder how the Indy 500 will pan out. We also discussed that this was a pretty good race. All the things happened. Worth a watch. Or a listen to your favourite F1 podcast. Or something.
