Journalists (loose term) and broadcasters (very loose term) Lawrence Barretto, Chris Medland and Nate Saunders tell stories about what it’s like chasing F1 from country to country - even in 2020
It's the complete opposite set-up to last week, but the reviews of the bar episode pretty much take over. Plus Nate sings Fernando, Chris does a u-turn on Ferrari and Lawrence is still dining out on what he calls the world's best burger in Montreal

Live and unfiltered from a bar in Montreal
This will either be the greatest episode you've ever heard, or diabolical. We're not sure which, because we haven't listened back to it. Nate does a live review, Lawrence meets a shoe guy, and Chris gets caught by the Sleutheria at a Williams pop-up

’I would have kids if I went to the moon’
Yup, that's a direct quote from the mouth of Nate Saunders. Not sure you need much more than the title, but Lawrence explains how he was further forward on today's plane than Ricciardo, and Chris has been to Switzerland but is about to miss his fligh...

Schumacher would get an awful Uber rating
Lawrence brings the whole podcast crashing down by calling someone his favourite chef, while Chris just wants to drop names, and Nate can't quite save it with his review. Turns out they all had to be professional earlier in the day, which explains th...

Bottas’ butt in the Louvre, Perez’s win in the bin
Nate pulls out one of the finest 60-second reviews heard for some time, and then follows it with a controversial view of the Red Bull team orders. Far too much actual F1 chat in this episode, but there is news of a big win for Chris and Lawrence

Herta-spotting in a Barcelona stock market
Or something like that... Nate saw a Colton Herta look-a-like in Spain during testing, and is going back to the stock market bar to see if he's there again. Chris remembers he talked to Ian Poulter, and Lawrence is actually looking forward to F1-rela...

Podcasting with Hamilton and Brady (nearby)
It might just be the best day of Nate's life as he gets to record an episode of the Pad-Hoc while Tom Brady walks by. All three were at a golf event with Brady and Lewis Hamilton in Miami, but Lawrence was too important and had to leave.

Kravitz goes all-in on #BootMedland
Chris gets kicked by Ted on the grid in Imola, but that's not as bad as Nate trying to kill two Fleet Street journalists. He at least has an incredible idea for an addition to the Miami track, while Lawrence didn't have to worry about muddy car parks...

’Alfa employees are circling my car’
Somehow 100k downloads have been hit, so Nate celebrates by locking himself in his hire car in Bologna and feeling threatened. He also admits he might have lied about which Imola race he was at, while Lawrence and Chris answer a listener's questions ...

How death fought Medland and Medland won
We're back after a bit of a break because Chris had a massive failure of a trip to Australia, but it makes for a decent tail of woe at least. Lawrence had a much better time of it in Melbourne despite nearly getting hit by Daniel Ricciardo, and Nate'...

It went demonic and not sexual
Nate has some fan art of himself to talk about, but then we get rid of him and it's pure bliss for Chris and Lawrence for a while. Chris boasts about a new job and talking to F1 drivers about golf (again), while Lawrence actually played a couple of d...

We didn’t forget, honest
A bit of a logistical nightmare made it a late recording, but it's worth the wait as Lawrence, Nate and Chris all signal the beginning of the end of their F1 careers by trying to predict the podium on Sunday AND the final constructors' championship s...

Return of the Mag
It seems all three are pretty happy to have Kevin Magnussen back at Haas after his surprise return was announced. And Imola is proving pretty popular too. Plus Nate is modest, Chris is planning his social life at the test and Lawrence is worried abou...

188% insults, 51% facts

OK, so it's not live, and we weren't the only people there, BUT we did get to see the new MCL36 before it was officially revealed and then McLaren were nice enough to let us talk about it in a very cool location at the factory. And then they kicked u...

Spoiler: Everyone’s sad in 2023
Nate seemed to think this was a mini-sode, no idea where he got that from. There's chat about the 'new' Red Bull, the 'new' Haas, a new title sponsor, a new deal for Lando Norris and the 'new' radio message from Abu Dhabi. Oh, and Ryan Giggs.

Nateflix meets Carole Baskin after Daytona
You read that right. Nate has given himself a new nickname, and was more impressed with who he met while out walking the dog in Tampa than at the Rolex 24 in Daytona. Chris gets carried away with a stupid idea, and Lawrence only came home for the Red...

Don’t laugh at Mike Krack

Lots of rights and lots of wrongs
After we get over Nate's broken microphone, some actual debate and discussion about the final race of the season breaks out. We're really sorry, but we couldn't help it. Lawrence is also told what not to ask by a world champion, and Chris misses Juri...
