American F1diots Josh & Erin Mariana, Jim Nirella

It's been a thrilling 2022 Formula 1 season thus far and the long-anticipated return to Australia continued with the excitement. Ferrari and Red Bull continue to lead the pack but small mistakes and reliability are still thorns in the sides of both teams. Mercedes is hanging tough while they wait for upgrades, and Mclaren are starting to show pace. Lots of mid and down-field action to discuss as well! Thanks for listening!

We weren't sure there was going to be a race on Sunday following a rocket attack on an Aramco oil refinery on Friday. After security reassurances, it was decided that they would proceed with the race weekend. And what a weekend it was! Exciting action from Qualifying right through the grand prix. Sergio Perez got his first pole and Charles and Max didn't disappoint. Join us as we discuss the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix!

The brand new 2022 Formula 1 cars took to Bahrain International Circuit and they did not disappoint! There was lots of great action up and down the field! Join the American F1diots as we discuss how, at least for the time being, Ferrari and Red Bull are the strongest teams to emerge from Winter testing. Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen went wheel-to-wheel for three straight laps at one point, and that was far from the only exciting battle! Both Red Bull cars ended up retiring near the end of the GP but they showed great pace and made Ferrari work for their first 1-2 finish since 2019. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were happy at that bit of RB bad luck as they ended up taking P3 and P4, respectively. Thanks for listening!

Join Erin, Jim, and Josh as we discuss and rank all of the exciting new liveries for the 2022 Formula 1 season.

We are so excited for the new season and can't wait to see how the cars perform in Bahrain in a couple of weeks! We hope you'll tune in regularly and tell a friend!

Join us as we discuss the final few races of the 2021 Formula 1 season including the finale in Abu Dhabi which did not disappoint in terms of excitement and drama! Also in this episode is a fun superlatives segment, so please have a listen and tell a friend! 

We plan on doing one or two off-season episodes as Winter testing gets underway and we start to get a look at the brand new formula for 2022, so keep an eye out for those!

This week the AF1 crew starts off the podcast with our Formula 1 for 1diots segment discussing all things tires (tyres, for our European friends!). Modern Formula 1 cars are very hard on tires and Pirelli has a monstrous job each year (and every race) trying to figure out the best compounds to select. 

We also discuss the Mexico City Grand Prix and the ongoing race (boom) for Driver's Championship between Max Verstappen (P1) and Lewis Hamiton (P2). Hometown favorite Sergio (Checko) Perez lands himself on the podium in P3 to the delight of the hugely supportive Mexcian crowd. Pierre Gasly had a great showing quietly taking P4 while Ferrari also had a good weekend with Charles LeClerc and Carlos Sainz finishing P5 & P6 respectively. McLaren continues to struggle and scores minimal points. All this and much more in Season 1, Episode 7! Thanks for listening!
