• BTF Pitstop 18: 2022 Monaco GP

    Description:  Rains, Trains, and Broken Automobiles… In this week's episode we cover the 2022 Monaco GP, a race that gave us a very sad Charles, a very happy Checo, and a very confusing but kinda enjoyable series of events. But never one to miss an opportunity for a tangent, we also bring up Grace Kelly an inordinate amount, reminisce about Spa, and plan our dream con.

  • BTF Pitstop 17: 2022 Spanish GP

    In this week's episode we discuss the surprisingly fun Spanish GP, covering everything from our favorite radio messages (spoilers: it’s a toss up between George and GP) to our mixed feelings about team orders. Along the way we also make a surprising amount of bad predictions, sing a little bit, and contend with the fact that we have loose morals when it comes to cheating.

  • BTF Pitstop 16: 2022 Miami GP

    In this week’s episode we have a tangent filled chat about the delightfully weird Miami GP, where we sometimes stay on topic and talk about the race, but a lot of the time get sidetracked   by everything else. Along the way we get into our longstanding issues with Florida Animal Control, contend with our grid walk Stockholm Syndrome, and play a rapid fire game of “Would I recognize this F1 Driver on the street?”

  • BTF Pitstop 15: 2022 Bahrain GP

    Just like the F1 season, we are back and ready for new nonsense, tomfoolery, and maybe even some racing. Join us in this episode as we get into the 2022 Bahrain GP, covering everything from whatever happened to those Red Bulls to midfield shakeups. Along the way we also detail Ferrari’s clown college graduation, chef fights, and hypothetically how Carlos and Lando would fight the grid.

  • BTF Pitstop 14: The Birth of FIA

    In this week’s episode we discuss the creation and inherent complications of FIA in the post war period (knowing what we know of her today you can guess how messy it was). While taking a slightly more serious tone than usual, we still find the time to talk about Jeff Goldblum’s iconic 90s film roles, what kind of drunk girl FIA is at a party, and chaotic record keeping.

    After a little post season break, we are back to review the sometimes wonderful, sometimes mad 2021 F1 season.

    S1E13 - 54m - Jan 14, 2022
  • BTF Pitstop 12: 2021 Saudi Arabia GP

    In this week's episode we try to make sense of whatever the Saudi Arabia GP was, sometimes with success and sometimes not - much like the drivers themselves. Along the way we forget what most of the grid was doing during the race, regret some earlier wishes, and try to brace ourselves for the last race of the season.

  • BTF Pitstop 11: 2021 Brazil GP

    In this week’s episode we talk about the joyful chaos that was the Brazilian GP, from the sprint race of our dreams to the overtake extravaganza. Along the way throw out some predictions for the rest of the season, try to figure out Brazilian reality TV phrases, and once again create some unrealistic scenarios.

  • BTF Pitstop 10: 2021 US GP

    In this week’s episode we discuss the spectacle that was the US GP, covering everything from papaya sandwiches to our new favorite FIA radio moment. Along the way units of time are forgotten, decisions are questioned, and Oscar Isaac is somehow involved.

  • 3 - Are We There Yet?

    In this episode we explore grand prix racing during the 1940s and the ways in which World War Two helped shape (and helps explain) the 1950 season of Formula One. Starting where we left off last episode, we cover the wartime exploits of teams and drivers as well as the unofficial racing seasons that followed. Along the way we take a slight tangent to rant about movie tropes and make fun of spy ring names.

  • BTF Pitstop 9: 2021 Italian GP

    After the summer break + skipping over 2 unimpressive GPs, we are finally back to talk about Monza. And by ‘talk about Monza’ we mean yell about the McLaren 1-2 for a while, go on a few tangents, and do poor renditions of popular songs for our own amusement.

    S1E9 - 35m - Sep 15, 2021
  • BTF Pitstop 8: 2021 Hungarian GP

    In this week's episode we recap the 2021 Hungarian GP, from first lap bowling to one of the most wholesome podiums we have seen. Along the way the phrase “French string bean” is said too often, many accents are butchered, and maybe even a thoughtful point is made.

  • BTF Pitstop 7: 2021 British GP

  • BTF Pitstop 6: 2021 Austrian and Styrian GP

    In this week’s episode we cover all things Austrian (and Styrian) GP, starting with a very logical conversation about penalties and ending with a very illogical discussion about which drivers we think could be the main character in an anime and why Mercedes needs to visit Italy.

  • 2 - We’re Going to Need a Bigger Fund...

    In this episode we get into the interwar period (1920 to 1939) and explore not only a golden age of crazy drivers (looking at you Louis Chrion, Rudi Caracciola, and Tazio Nuvolari), but also how the socio-political environment of Europe affected racing and vice versa. Starting with the slow trainwreck that was the 1920s constructors series, we trace the origins of organized grand prix driver’s championships and consider how they helped shape Formula One. We also talk about pet monkeys and 1980s Miami drug dealers- but you will have to listen to find out how all that ties in!

  • BTF Pitstop 1: 2021 Portugal GP

    In this episode we bring you some lukewarm takes from the 2021 Portuguese GP. Along the way we discuss which team principle we think would win a FIA sponsored modeling competition, why the electric mini cooper is a great safety car, and how much we enjoy drivers finding out important information live on air.
