Episode 101. Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025. Nobody's Fault But Mine.

Hard Compound, an American F1 Podcast

Oscar Piastri seizes the lead in the F1 championship and we do not expect him to let it go, not to his teammate, Lando Norris, and not to reigning champion, Max Verstappen. Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound for our analysis of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, including all the off-track drama. 

  • Why did the stewards go easy on Verstappen's obvious penalty? And what might that mean going forward? 
  • When does a Martin Brundle grid walk turn into a rumble? We tell you when. 
  • Who chose more wrong? Ferrari or Lewis Hamilton? 
  • Is Charles Leclerc destined to be the greatest F1 driver in history to never win any championship? 
  • Our crazy prediction: George Russell, Alex Albon, Carlos Sainz, and Lando Norris fund a global Padel league that takes the world by storm. Plus, our picks for the Miami Grand Prix and who will drive for Cadillac in 2026. Give a listen and subscribe.
