Hello! This podcast was prompted by the ongoing murmurs that Renault is about to sell Alpine. It&#39;s based on an article from <a href="https://formulacurious.substack.com/p/a-team-comes-to-town-a-team-leaves" rel="nofollow">formulacurious.substack.com</a> that was previously behind a paywall --but now isn&#39;t!I discuss the history between Red Bull Racing, by which I mostly mean Christian Horner, and Renault. With snark and facts.

A team comes to town; a team leaves town. And how Christian Horner is behind the downfall of Renault.

Fresh from my self imposed mode slow, recharge on time, I present to you my thoughts from the 2025 Zandvoort Grand Prix weekend, or Zand-thoughts, with some other bits I&#39;ve missed talking about lately.Other things include: Valtteri Bottas&#39; moustache, Valtteri&#39;s arse, and a wild prediction on McLaren next year.

I&#39;ve been having a bit of a time lately, so this is both a Belgian GP review and Hungarian GP prediction type chat. I say &#34;review&#34; but I mostly talk about the stuff I think others have missed. I&#39;m around on the socials, if you&#39;re interested in that type of thing;Bluesky: @formulacurious.bsky.social‬Mastodon: @formulacurious@me.dmAnd, intermittently, Instagram: @FormulaCurious The sound quality isn&#39;t the best in this episode, I know, I was just impatient to get this out because it was already way later than I wanted.

There&#39;s been some chat around the F1 world lately, so I want to gather some of it up, and then dissect it for your listening pleasure. There&#39;s driver chat, team principal politics, FIA presidency chat, and Lego cars. Oh, and the McLaren tyre water!Suggested viewing: https://youtu.be/pdxiNBwxYxU (it&#39;s the Lego car race from their GoPros)

This was originally published as a paywalled article in September 2024. I’m unpaywalling it now because a lot of what I’m talking about here is still valid.At the time the team was going through a performance slump. The team kind of still is going through a performance slump, except now they’ve figured out the PR spin.You can view the article, i.e transcript, <a href="https://formulacurious.substack.com/p/unpaywalled-whats-up-with-red-bull?r=2kp71p" rel="nofollow">here</a> Background image from Jiawei Zhao via Unsplash.

Hi, I discovered a poem and wanted to share it. It isn’t a Formula 1 poem, but there’s an overlap.Disclaimer: in the recording I imply the FIA were being racist; I don’t know whether they were or not. A better way of phrasing this is to say they were “potentially being racist.”With that being said, there’s no prizes for guessing Lewis Hamilton is discussed in this episode.
