    Viva Las Vegas with Rahul

    We’re rolling straight into Las Vegas — where the lights are blinding, the paddock is billion-dollar shiny, and the cars hit 300 km/h down the Strip at midnight. The Las Vegas Grand Prix is part street race, part spectacle, part fever dream, and absolutely nothing about it is normal. Joined by Rahul (from the Shanghai episode), we talk about this 6.2 km Spiderpig-shaped circuit with Monza-level straights, freezing desert temperatures, and tyres sliding around like it’s an ice rink. We break down the chaos of racing at 2 a.m., the Sphere, the Strip, the cold, the late-night fireworks, and why this track—simple on paper—becomes pure mayhem in real life. We also dive into the short but wild history of Vegas in F1, from the 1980s Caesars Palace parking-lot GP to Liberty Media’s over-the-top 2023 revival, and relive the drama of 2024: Russell’s win, Sainz’s revenge, and Max sealing another title under the neon glow. Vegas is loud, messy, spectacular, and impossible to ignore.

    Vamos Brazil with Joy

    We’re heading to Brazil — the land of samba, rain-soaked drama, and the most passionate F1 fans on Earth! This week, I’m joined once again by Joy (yes, our resident Hamilton loyalist from the Silverstone episode) as we dive into everything that makes the Sao Paulo Grand Prix pure chaos and pure magic. We break down everything from the history of Interlagos Circuit to the emotional legacy of Felipe Massa, the rise of Gabriel Bortoleto, and what makes São Paulo the beating heart of Formula 1. We unpack the 2024 São Paulo GP race results, run through the championship maths (can Verstappen still take the title?), and explore how teams prepare for Brazil’s unpredictable weather. Because when it rains in São Paulo… it really rains Instagram - @F101withFriends or https://www.instagram.com/f101withfriends/ https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2025/brazil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Grand_Prix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlagos_Circuit https://khelnow.com/formula-racing/2023-11-formula-1-most-iconic-moments-brazilian-gp-history  https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12998098/sao-paulo-grand-prix-six-iconic-interlagos-moments-including-ayton-senna-lewis-hamilton-and-max-verstappen  https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/verstappen-wins-chaotic-sao-paulo-grand-prix-after-stunning-recovery-from.1DIc8pzRmGbC3jHJmvtBi1 https://www.gpblog.com/en/general/did-the-singapore-gp-crashgate-really-cost-massa-the-title-in-2008

  3. Salam Baku with Anjali

    Salam Baku with Anjali

    🇦🇿 Salam from Baku — a race weekend like no other. I’m joined by Anjali to dive into the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit, where old city walls meet 21st-century speed. We break down the chaos and the charm of this street race: the endless straight, the castle section that feels impossibly tight, and why this medal shaped track has become one of the most unpredictable stops on the calendar. From late safety cars to tyre gambles and shock podiums, Baku once again proved that nothing here is straightforward. We also talk about what it’s like being here in person — from model cars greeting you at the airport to hotels doubling their prices, and the way the whole city transforms for F1. For fans it’s a festival, for locals it’s a disruption, and for drivers it’s a survival test. If you love the wild side of Formula 1 — where strategy, nerves, and street-circuit chaos collide — Baku always delivers.
