Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook are joined by special guest, unofficial Queen of Canada Hayley McGoldrick, to break down Week 7 in the NFL and an interesting weekend at the Circuit of the Americas. Is it time to give up on the Bills? Can we say the same about Aston Martin's Lance Stroll? Was Lewis Hamilton truly just a few more laps from beating Max Verstappen? Will Logan Sargent return with Williams in 2024? And what on earth is going on with Brock Purdy and the 49ers? Do You Even Know sees Katie post a quality 2 for 4 effort...and reveal her past dating life. Nick has a problem with a walnut tree.

EP 18 - Time to give up on the Bills and Lance Stroll? (featuring special guest Hayley McGoldrick!)

Safe to say this wasn't your standard weekend. F1 returned to the United States this weekend for its first Sprint Weekend and it indirectly led to some madness after the race.

On the track, Max Verstappen tied his own record with his 15th win of 2023, but was pushed to the limit when nursing a braking problem as Lewis Hamilton was chasing him down at the end. All this off the back of a Mercedes team that botched their strategy after not being sure about whether they wanted to run a 1-or-2 stop strategy and it may have cost them their first win...

...Only for them to be disqulaified, alongside Ferrari's Charles Leclerc for having their floors too low tot nhe ground and losing too much wear from their skid block. This led to a big debate about the FIA's scrutineering process and whether it's fair or not that only four cars (Verstappen and Norris' being the other) got their skid block spot checked. Is this okay? Or does it expose a flaw in the system?

Some of the more under the radar drives like Yuki Tsunoda's 8th and Logan Saregant's first points in F1 got brought up, and we talk about the first weekend of F1 Academy being live, Marta Garcia's title wins, and our hopes for the Academy going forward. (Note: We recorded this a day before the news that Garcia will be in FRECA with Prema in 2024 and the series partners will guarantee a seat in the future for a Top 3 Academy finisher, so good!)

All that and more on another Motorsport101! (PS: MotoGP will be back next week, Cam is under the weather at the moment, get well soon brother)

The F1 Files - EP 89 - Sergio Perez & The Mexico City Grand Prix

Now included: A Bonus segment on the Romain Grosjean to Juncos move and Callum Illot's departure is covered in here too!

But Dre and RJ go in-depth on the 2023 Mexican Grand Prix, and for Checo, a lot of genuine hope was extinguished in just 15 seconds after a nasty accident at Turn 1 when trying to send it for the lead of the race! And with AlphaTauri's Daniel Ricciardo having his best F1 weekend since his McLaren win, is there even more pressure on the Mexican to win after his hometown failure?

We also talk about Aston Martin's struggles too, with their worst weekend of the year cementing a tough post-Zandvoort stretch of just 17 points in their last 4 weekends. And with rumours spinning around in the air regarding their future, do questions need to be asked about the Silverstone team? Is Fernando walking away? Surely not again...

...All that and more on another Motorsport101!

Episode #481: 2023 F1 Mexican Grand Prix Review

How does a boring GP weekend produce so much news?

The boys are back together as a threesome to talk about a hectic Brazilian GP weekend, as Max Verstappen took his 17th victory of 2023, but Lando Norris clearly established himself as the leader of the chasing pack with a valiant second place. We talk about Max's dominance, as well as McLaren's incredible turnaround.

We also talk about the awful days from Mercedes and Ferrari, as Charles Leclerc couldn't even take the grid after an electronics failure in his car left him in the wall. On the formation lap. As you. A golden opportunity missed given Lewis Hamilton could only manage eighth after a combination of tyres being butchered, a car draggy as hell due to the rear wing being so big, and still lacking downforce. Besides that, it was great!

And of course, we have to talk about the epic Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez battle for the podium, with Spain winning the fight with an incredible final lap, one of the season highlights of 2023! 

All that and more on a ridiculously silly, Motorsport101!

The F1 Files - EP 91 - Chaos & The Las Vegas Grand Prix

What Verstappens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas. And that includes winning apparently!

Yes, it's time for the most anticipated rounds in F1 history, its return after a 40-year hiatus to Las Vegas, and its GP down the strip! And we even brought back new Vegas visitor Ryan Erik King to come down and give us his take on the event!

And we got off to a rocky start after the weekend had to be held due to Carlos Sainz hitting 1 of 30 loose water valve covers across the track, with the track not checked properly because of the Wednesday night opening ceremony. Fans were sent home as a result of the late running of an FP2 that finished at 4am. Wild.

But the race was generally really good, with Charles Leclerc on a one-man mission to try and beat not one but two competitive Red Bulls as Max Verstappen eventually overwhelmed him for the Dutchman to take his eighteen win of 2023, but how we got there was fun! And let's not forget the brilliant efforts of Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll too, coming from Q1 eliminations to finish in the Top 5!

We break down all the action, the track itself, and ask whether Vegas is here to stay despite all the noise and controversy in another Motorsport101!
