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
After the spicy reactions from George Russell and Valtteri Bottas at Imola, Lawrence was in the TV pen stirring the pot, while Chris remembers a smug Jos Verstappen before his son got promoted to Red Bull and Nate explains how he almost stopped Max s...

We got a bad review
Someone rated us two stars, and this episode doesn't go any way towards rectifying that. Nate turns into Lawrence Stroll, Chris wants you to feel sorry for him because a hypothetical chance to drive some sports cars was missed, and Lawrence says his ...

Why is an F1 car launch never at Area 51?

Romain to IndyCar, Max to NASCAR and Lewis rall...
One of those three is actually happening, but the other two we'd love to see. Grosjean's move to IndyCar gets everyone thinking what we'd like to see other F1 drivers have a go in, and there's also stories of Juan Pablo Montoya sitting on a plastic t...

Sir Lewis, Sir-gio and Sir-gey Sir-otkin

WAIT. How many Toto Wolff's are there?!
Nate has an inappropriate joke, Chris sort of sings a Christmas song sent in from a listener, and Lawrence actually gets this back on track with F1-related stories and content. The final episode of 2020 even goes as far as throwing in some bold predi...

Two days to the shave
That's right, it's Abu Dhabi weekend and Lawrence only has two mornings left waking up with hair on his head. Nate explains why he likes to play the role of 'stupid man' rather than 'bad cop', and Chris reveals a shocker of a haircut he once had. The...

#NoContextNate
We really wanted to call this episode 'The Paddock Haddock', you’ll soon know why. Basically some incredible things come out of Nate’s mouth, and Chris reminds him of them. But he has to suck up his own massive error that confused the Verstappens thi...

We’re going to really regret this
We’re not sure how we ended up here, but Lawrence spontaneously (honestly) agrees to a pretty remarkable challenge for Prostate Cancer UK, and then Chris and Nate both get involved in the fundraising too. It somehow all starts with an incredible nick...

Lampooning Italian F1 journalists

Ricciardo will do almost anything you ask
Chris makes Daniel Ricciardo an unwitting Lawrence Barretto superfan, Nate sings and Lawrence can't think of a decent song to use as an F1 theme tune. There's a lot of cat chat for some reason, too.

The drunk episode
It turns out Spa-Francorchamps has been the scene of LOTS of hangovers, with Claire Williams usually the catalyst. But people in F1 have been hungover in other places too, including Russia, where a Renault press officer was late to work ahead of a ra...
