Episode 106. Canadian Grand Prix 2025. Exit the Warrior.

Hard Compound, an American F1 Podcast

Our debt of gratitude to Claire Williams, to Gunther Steiner, to Montreal. And our frustration with Lando Norris, who may have cost himself a championship despite having the best car. Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound for our post-Canadian Grand Prix analysis.

  • Why Toto Wolff is smiling. 
  • Why Yuki Tsunoda and Lance Stroll may not return to F1 in 2026. And why a similar fate awaits Fred Vasseur, who's time leading Ferrari is looking more tenuous by the week. 
  • High praise for the McLaren team, and for the old timers, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg, especially. 
  • F1's persistent anti-American bias, even as they get more money from America. 
  • Revising our idea for a F1 Senior's Tour.
