    America does F1 the best. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the United States Grand Prix in Austin.  

    America does F1 the best. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the United States Grand Prix in Austin.   The United States shows the F1 world how to host a Grand Prix. COTA draws record crowds and brings a festive atmosphere to the drivers, teams, and fans. Max Verstappen gets another win this year as he marches toward victory. Red Bull seals up the Constructors title but under a cloud of controversy and loss. Lewis Hamilton shows why he is one of the all-time greats taking a subpar car to 2nd.  George Russell clashes with Carlos Sainz and draws the ire of the fans. Fernando Alonso loses his mirror, gets a steep penalty and seems to finally have an issue with the stewards. Sebastian Vettel rides into the retirement sunset with a drive to the wire that gets the heart pumping! Logan Sargent will be a F1 driver next year and Daniel Ricciardo will be…. With Red Bull?  All this and more Formula 1 talk!

    Does Liberty Media have a FIA problem? The cost cap scandal, tractor incident, and points confusion mar Max Verstappen’s titles.

    Does Liberty Media have a FIA problem? The cost cap scandal, tractor incident, and points confusion mar Max Verstappen’s titles.  The pinnacle of motorsports is really the top of a circus tent. Liberty Media has done a lot to expand and grow F1 over the last few years, but the FIA malfeasance, ineptitude and corruption keep getting in the way of creating the ultimate global fan sport.  The cost cap rumors are true and Red Bull went over budget for 2021.  Red Bull cheated, but will that actually be punished. Liberty Media also sees its 2022 season marred by an almost catastrophic Japanese Grand Prix.  Pierre Gasly was lucky to miss a tractor and marshal who were inexplicably on track.  Carlos Sainz has a massive shunt that had people questioning the reliability of Pirellis wet tires. And what should have been a great moment for Max Verstappen and Liberty Media, is instead a confusing memeable experience that deprives all of a proper celebration.  Liberty Media has done a lot to expand and grow F1 over the last few years, but the FIA malfeasance, ineptitude and corruption keep getting in the way of creating the ultimate global fan sport.  All this and more Formula 1 talk!

    Does the FIA have a credibility problem? Plus we recap the Singapore Grand Prix.  Does the FIA have a credibility problem? The new bombshell that two teams blatantly violated the cost cap for spending has fans furious. Is there credence to the rumors? Does the FIA act? Will any punishments be justified or credible? We also talk about how the rules are not properly applied and the lack of transparency is turning off fans.  We talk about the Singapore Grand Prix Checo Perez gets an amazing win, but controversy about his penalty after the race again make the FIA look bad. Ferrari has a great race but cant keep up with the Red Bull. Max Verstappen doesn’t claim the crown but instead has his worst weekend in a long time. Mercedes completely goes off the rails with Lewis Hamilton and George Russel having brain farts. A great day for McLaren and Aston Martin.  All this and more Formula 1 talk!

    Hungarian Grand Prix Recap; Sebastian Vettel retires, Max Verstappen really is super, Lewis Hamilton arises and Ferrari must really likes pain.

    Hungarian Grand Prix Recap; Sebastian Vettel retires, Max Verstappen really is super, Lewis Hamilton arises and Ferrari must really likes pain.    Sebastian Vettel announces his retirement after a legendary run in F1 that culminated in 4 consecutive titles. We pay homage to the great German driver and his career. Max Verstappen all but wraps up the title with an amazing 10 to 1 push that widens his lead in the title and gives him another win. Ferrari finds another way to be the butt of jokes with an inexplicable strategy that dooms Charles LeCerc. Mercedes is ascendant as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell score another double podium. Will the rest of the season be Silver Arrows domination? McLaren, Alpine and Alfa Romeo foul up. F1 launches a Drive it Out campaign to talk fan behavior but it’s the bare minimum at this point. And we pay homage to the great NBA legend Bill Russell who should be a icon for those like Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel for what he did for civil rights.  All this and more Formula 1 talk!
