Welcome to the The F1 Starting Grid: A beginner's guide to Formula 1. We (Chad, Barry, Micah) are a group of Formula 1 enthusiasts who enjoy discussing the sport. No frills. No drama (okay, maybe a bit). Not overly technical. Plus, we enjoy helping people who are just gaining an interest in F1 to get up to speed with the history, basics, and current events in the racing world. Occasionally, we'll also welcome guests onto the show to join the conversation.

    Episode 10: Formula 1 silly season is here!

    It's that time of the year...silly season. And for the 2023 season it kicked off with a bang. De Vries is out, Ricciardo is in! Who will be the next driver(s) to get the axe?

    We lost Chad toward the end of this episode due to a power failure. As promised, his prediction for Hungary is: 1. You know... 2. Lando Norris again

    Episode 9: Let's go racing in Austria. Upgrades, sprint race and track limits! So much to talk about

    Welcome to Episode 9 of the F1 Starting Grid. In this episode we share (briefly) our thoughts about the Canadian Grand Prix, and make our predictions for the Austrian Grand Prix. And of course, we talk about upgrades, the second weekend of the new sprint format, and TRACK LIMITS (will they play a factor in Sunday's race?) We (okay, maybe just Barry) also talk about which driver was whining about Max's dominance...can you guess who it was?

    Episode 8: Oh Canada! What excitement does this weekend's Grand Prix in Montreal have in store?

    We've been away for a few weeks, but we're back and ready for a great weekend of racing in Canada. Join us as we give a quick recap of Spain (and Monaco...and Miami) and make our predictions for Montreal. Will Aston Martin's upgrades get them back into podium position? Can Mercedes pull off a repeat of their performance in Spain? Can Max win in...nevermind, dumb question.
