Singapore Grand Prix Recap

Bahrain, in all its tech-issue riddled glory, gave us a lot to discuss! I'm joined by the wonderful Marissa Tandon to break down an action-packed race weekend. From Oscar Piastri’s second career pole and a McLaren “home” double podium to George Russell’s wild Flinstones-esque car situation and a flurry of penalties (hi, Sainz), we’re recapping all the chaos. Plus, rookie standouts, our MVPs and LVPs, and a quick preview of the Saudi GP.Watch this video on YouTube.Our new merch is here!!!

As Women's History Month comes to a close, tune into my conversation with Kate Gundlach, one of the few women ever to hold a race engineer role at Arrow McLaren in INDYCAR. In this episode, Kate shares what it’s really like to engineer a race weekend, the pressure of split-second decisions, and what she’s learned from working with drivers like Pato O’Ward, Scott Dixon, and Nolan Siegel. We also talk about the state of gender diversity in motorsport and what’s still holding women back in racing and STEM fields.Watch this video on YouTube.Our new merch is here!!!

This weekend gave us a lot to work with: Lewis takes his first win in red (in the sprint!), Oscar Piastri grabs his maiden pole and third career win, and Ferrari’s team orders stir the pot. I break down what this means for the title race, discuss Liam Lawson's performance, some dark horses (Lance Stroll anyone?), claim justice for George, and celebrate F1 Academy’s season opener in Shanghai.To play GridRival Picks and get a 100% deposit match, use this link or promo code PADDOCKPROJECT.Watch this video on YouTube.Our new merch is here!!!

Rain chaos down under! The first race of the season left us all a bit speechless... six DNFs, radio shenanigans, Papaya Rules coming back with a vengeance, and so much more. Should we have expected more from the rookies? Is Ferrari in trouble already? How fast is the Red Bull? Plus, a Chinese GP Preview and what to expect for F1 Academy's first race of the season!Watch this video on YouTube.Our new merch is here!!!

F1 is back—almost. In this episode, I'm breaking down everything from pre-season testing: who looked fast, who’s got work to do, and what actually matters heading into Round 1. Plus, my unfiltered thoughts on Drive to Survive Season 7—what they nailed, what they missed, and why it still has me hooked. And, of course, a look ahead to the Australian Grand Prix: what to expect from the first race of the season, which teams could surprise us, and why it’s always pure chaos in Melbourne.
