The Chequered Flag Report is the fastest hour in Formula 1 — a weekly podcast and radio show built for fans who want more than the highlight reel. Co-hosts David Gould and Chuck "Iron Man" Hayes break down every Grand Prix the way it's talked about in the paddock: race previews and predictions, post-race analysis, driver market rumors, betting lines, sponsorship and the business of the sport, and the storylines the mainstream coverage doesn't get to. Bahrain to Abu Dhabi, Monaco to Vegas — wherever the lights go out, the Chequered Flag Report is calling the race. David brings 30+ years across business, radio, and the worlds of luxury and sponsorship — the voice behind the business of Formula 1. Chuck brings three decades in Las Vegas media, a CBS Sports Radio chair, and a deep motorsport pedigree from a family that co-owned race teams alongside legends like Dale Earnhardt and Mark Martin. New episodes every race week. Broadcast on KMET 1490 AM in Southern California and K-DAWN 101.5 FM in Las Vegas. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

    Episode 2 — Montreal, Antonelli vs Russell, and the State of the Grid

    Chuck Hayes and David Gould are back breaking down the world of Formula One with no race at Monaco this weekend — the circus has moved to Montreal for Round 6 of the 2026 season. Chuck and David open with the Monaco/Cannes Film Festival overlap and the European fashion spectacle that comes with it, then get into the real stories: Lewis Hamilton is skipping the Ferrari sim heading into Montreal. Kimi Antonelli, who took Hamilton's old seat at Mercedes, cannot be pulled out of his. The contrast tells you everything about where each driver's head is right now. Antonelli has won in China, Japan, and Miami — three of the last four races — and is consistently upstaging teammate George Russell. Chuck and David dig into what that dynamic looks like from the inside and what George's next move has to be. Montreal is a Sprint weekend, which tightens the margins and raises the stakes. McLaren leads the Constructors at 94 points. Max Verstappen remains the most dangerous presence on any grid, and the guys make their case for why the bottom of the field — Aston Martin, Cadillac, and Audi — need to stop blaming the car and start asking harder questions. They close out with a look ahead: the Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 is coming to Apple TV and IMAX, the F1 movie Brad Pitt moment at Monza, and early drum beats that Lewis Hamilton could have a big moment at Silverstone.
