TPF #557- Epic 2017 Season Review

TPF #557- Epic 2017 Season Review

I know you didn't ask for a 2017 Formula 1 season review podcast but like a dolt, I offered one before the holidays and with all the name changing, shenanigans and goings on, this is the first chance we've had to do one...reluctantly. We review each team and driver and I rank the teams and Paul ranks the drivers...and corrects me on my team rankings because they are daft. We hope you enjoy re-visiting the 2017 F1 season and we offer our sincere apologies for this outrageously long podcast that should be banned for its egregious length and silly impact it may have on your active lifestyle.
