You've never heard a Callum Ilott interview like this, Vankers.

2022 F1 Year in Review Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

We did it, Vankers. We survived a totally mid F1 season. But you know what's NOT mid? Our spicy season wrap-up. The guys talk about how the season was basically a Thanksgiving dinner, how Ferrari had us in the first half, why Carlos Sainz looks so natural on a beach, when Mercedes took a little too much flat tummy tea, the PTSD of Monaco, the mindset of Daniel Ricciardo fans, porpoising (remember that??), why we won't blindly root for our own countrymen, Pierre Gasly vs. Esteban Ocon, and why this was actually a very, very bad year for Max Verstappen.

ABU DHABI RECAP: LIVE IN NYC!! Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

Live from New York -- it's THE RED FLAGS!!

WHEW what a season. It didn't matter that the race was a snoozer because we had LOTS to discuss. Like THE Sebastian Vettel Farewell Dinner, how Max Verstappen is basically Trump and the fact that he's not a serial killer should be studied, the drivers' rap personas, Sir Lewis Hamilton running a social media agency from his cockpit, who's the best driver at "middling," parents on social media, Max having a lot of time to change his public image, next season of "Drive to Survive" being AMAZING, and why feeling helpless actually feels... really good.

BRAZILIAN GP RECAP: LIVE IN LA!!!! Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

Shout out to the REAL ONES -- the SoCal Vankers who showed up to our live show at The Virgil! This was an XTRA spicy one. The guys got into everything Brazilian GP including Max Verstappen's lack of reciprocation for Checo Perez, why Ferrari won't let Matt find inner-peace, George Russell the bot and his 2006 lingo, Sir Lewis Hamilton's special room where he lets off steam, the absurdity of having tear-offs, Dark Lord Fernando Alonso going Carrie on Esteban Ocon, and Mercedes playing the protective daddy.

Fernando Season 1 Recap Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

We finally watched Season 1 of "Fernando" on Amazon Prime and we've got a lot to say. The guys discuss how Carlos Sainz Sr. is the Daddy of the Universe, why Fernando Alonoso might be the most environmentally sustainable F1 driver on the grid, starting a fundraiser to send Matt to Alonso's museum and karting school in Spain, Nico Rosberg's neverending trolling of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton, and why Brian's guilt would get in the way of his F1 dreams.

MEXICO GP RECAP: L-ONSO Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

The race may have been a snooze, but we've got an episode hotter than the Mariachi remix of the F1 theme song. We cover all the drama that happened leading up to the race -- Will Buxton deciding to come for the commentator GOD Martin Brundle, why Fernando Alonso is the Shakespearean villain of F1, Ted Kravitz proudly representing TeamLH, Red Bull's boycott of SkySports, and the insanity of Bernie Ecclestone brokering the cost cap punishment. Plus -- how hot we are for Daniel Ricciardo's redemption arc, why Matt thinks Ocon is like Starbucks, why Checo's VERY INVOLVED dad is triggering, and how Mercedes was gaslighting their drivers.

ALFA ROMEO BOSS FRED VASSEUR ON THE POD!!!! Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

If finally meeting in person to go to our first GP and produce a live show wasn't crazy enough, we got to interview the ABSOLUTE LEGEND -- Alfa Romeo Team Principal, Fred Vasseur. Fred talks to us about the potential for him becoming "Drive to Survive's" next breakout star, how he keeps rookie drivers motivated after setbacks, up-and-coming talent, what would happen if the team principals went karting, if fame's changed Guenther, and what it's like being Lewis Hamilton's stycon. Plus, Fred gives important advice to drivers about when they should and SHOULDN'T use the radio. You're going to want to stay until the end because this might be our favorite sign-off yet.
