    A Generational Talent Wins a Race That Needs to be Retired. Monaco Grand Prix 2026.

    We have resisted this topic for years. But it now must be addressed. Should the Monaco Grand Prix be retired? F1 is now so big and yes, so American, that the sport no longer needs Monaco. But we love it. We absolutely love it. We love the setting, the glamour, the history, the yachts. We want a world where James Bond and the Monaco Grand Prix are alive and thriving.  And yet... we can't ignore what our eyes see. Unlike the stewards!  Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix. Where Mercedes young gun, Kimi Antonelli, continues to win, and where Lewis Hamilton has reclaimed his form. All this and more.  Send us Fan Mail And as always, thank you for listening to everybody's most beloved father and son F1 podcast!

    It's the end of F1 as we know it and I feel fine

    A special episode of Hard Compound. As Formula 1's long break comes to a close,  Patrick and Brian examine all that F1 is leaving behind.  The end of old school F1, daddy drivers, hustlers, and the fighter pilot mentality. For good or bad, F1 now demands drivers who are more like shuttle astronauts than fighter pilots. The end of the Middle East influence over the sport. Quite possibly, the end of Alonso (and Albon) after this year. Plus, our crazy predictions. Why we predict Ford will buy Racing Bulls. Why we predict a robot-run pit crew. And why F1 might adopt a golf format rather than a single race. All this, and our favorite racing movies.  Send us Fan Mail And as always, thank you for listening to everybody's most beloved father and son F1 podcast!

Ever?Is Max really going to quit?Which driver gets fired in 2026?Who's the weakest F1 champion in the 21st century?How can Formula 1 conquer Hollywood? Send us Fan Mail And as always, thank you for listening to everybody's most beloved father and son F1 podcast!

    Formula 1 Belongs to Gen Alpha Now

    At the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, teenager Kimi Antonelli wins again. The youngest championship leader ever. Just as these new F1 regulations reveal a stark split between younger and older drivers (and fans). Join Patrick and Brian on the Hard Compound for all the action from the Suzuka Circuit. But, wait. There's more.  In its early days, NASA needed badass test pilots. Not any more. Find out the surprising parallels of this and F1 drivers. New York Mets owner Steve Cohen wants to buy Alpine. Europe is radically underestimating what this means for Formula 1. It's not just F1 teams. F1 tracks are also radically undervalued. We explain why.Finally, Apple TV needs to really step it up.Send us Fan Mail And as always, thank you for listening to everybody's most beloved father and son F1 podcast!
