    Don't Break My Heart, My Late Brakey Heart

    And for those of you who thought we had left, we never left...this is just a late news episode. There's nothing that can bring TBFP crew back quicker than news that Daniel Ricciardo returns to the grid! And take the wind from their sails when they learn it's with the 10th place Constructors team. On this episode, the crew discusses next steps not only for Ricciardo but the rumors about Albon and Norris.  Meanwhile, the stars are out with Ryan Reynolds investing in Alpine and Brad Pitt filming at Silverstone. In other motorsports, Sara cheers on the last Ferrari winner, the Italian Jesus,  Breno breaks down the Gentleman of F1's latest ride, and they both applaud the skillful, hilarious, and dangerous entertainment Indy has been providing.   So let's get our Will Power merchandise ordered because it's time for a news packed episode!

    Estie Bestie of The Restie

    For the 69th (Nice!) time the F1 world turns its gaze back to the principality for the most prestigious event, the most iconic track, and the crown jewel of F1 - The Monaco Grand Prix!  Yeah... but why so many street courses?! The BFP crew is at it again with their no holds barred coverage! Except this this time Breno is more interested on Saturday than the race on Sunday. Sara does a dissection of Sainz's race while putting an end to Stroll's career. The crew opine on what could've been if Alonso had pitted for inters, and also decide to talk a little Indy 500! So strap down that Ferrari F40 to your biggest yacht because the Monaco Grand Prix recap is here! The Blue Flagopedia: Hamilton to Ferrari? The daily mail reported a deal of £ 40 M Hamilton has insisted he will continue at Mercedes Toto suggested that the rumors were fake Another McLaren poaching New Liveries Leclerc's new meme Horses growl...?

    Fer-HIM-do Chadlonso

    Welcome back to TBFP, gang! On this episode of the pod, the crew will attempt to cover 3 races and over a month's worth of news! As Helmut Marko and Stefano Domenicali try to out do each other with outrageous quotes, the BFP crew look again to Alonso radios to get through the season. George Russell chimes in with a sweet radio of his own.   The crew untangles the mess at Albert Park, and Sara comes very close to giving the FIA a passing grade! Then conspiracy theories fly in Azerbaijan as Checo proves he is king of the streets... That is, until he takes a trip to Miami (Gardens).  Tune is as a couple of bad boys and girls turned good  recap all the action!!!

    Good Luck To Lando

    The second race of the season is over, and it seems like the BFP crew has no hope for a battle at the front of the grid this year.  Will a challenger rise to the occasion and save this season? Breno believes it will be Alonso, while Sara hopes (prays!) for anyone else to make a charge.  On this episode, the crew check in on our friends at the Mercedes garage and how they are coping with not winning everything.  Breno delights in the behind the scenes drama of the "crisis meeting" and letter to fans from Mercedes while completely avoiding  any mention the season McLaren is having.  Sara, once again, dismantles the FIA with pure facts and reason.   And the crew give some minor praise to Ferrari. All this and much more! So let's strap in and make an explicit verbal agreement to listen  because it's the recap of the Saudi Arabian GP!!!

    Good Luck to Ocon

    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! The Blue Flagopedia: Jennie Gow's message on the Checkered Flag podcast Renault supplies engines for Andretti/Cadillac Potential $600 million buy in for Andretti to enter F1 Rumors of Alpha Tauri sale Sulayem steps back from F1 Gasly's Instagram comment Stroll bike injuries Toto's favorite porn star Piastri narrowly avoids Stroll Follow us on on our socials: https://twitter.com/BlueFlagPodF1 https://theblueflagpodcast.buzzsprout.com/
