The F1 Files - EP 64 - Checo & The Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Baku stunk. I know it, you know it. It wasn't a good time for anyone involved. So we largely decided to ignore it and took about everything else bar the result itself! 

We talk in-depth about the Sprint Shootout, the changes from the F1 commission designed to improve the format and get more aggression out of the teams. Did it work? Well, yes and no. We breakdown in detail why it won't solve the problems the sport are currently in.

We talk about George Russell and Max Verstappen's incidents in the Sprint, with the World Champion getting a hole punched in his sidepod. It seems people were more enamoured with Max's reputation for hard racing than the incident itself, we break all of that down!

And arguably the most dialogue of the weekend was on the F1 Academy. It had its first weekend of the year at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, and while there was a crew and highlights shown, there'd be no live coverage. Dre breaks down a little bit behind the scenes as to what led to this and whether we think this was the right idea for the series that claims it wants to improve participation but not be fully committed to that in practise. 

An in-depth edition of Motorsport101, listen in now!

The F1 Files - EP 65 - Formula Cringe & The Miami Grand Prix

CONTENT WARNING: The following Podcast contains transphobic rhetoric you may find upsetting. If you don't want to listen to that segment, we recommend stopping after the segment about the Driver Intros around the 50 minute mark. Thanks for listening. 

An extended edition of the M101 Podcast this week with the travelling circus heading to Miami. Within it, a deflating race if you're a fan of the Mexican side of the Red Bull garage as Sergio Perez got a gift to start from pole in a red-flag affected Q3, with teammate Max Verstappen starting P9. In a tyre-saving race, Perez's speciality, he was out-classed by Max, eventually finished 2nd as Max went the long way round at Turn 1. Is this the first big counter-shot of the 2023 title race?

We also got a lot of blowback and vitriol over the Drivers getting intros in a return of the 2018 Michael Buffer one-off. Was this the sport missing our mark, a clash of European sensibility vs American pagentry, or have we all gone a little bit mad?

And finally, there's an emotionally charged segment at the end over our very own double standards. A Miami GP happening in a state where it's governor is passing bills to take away the human rights of many within the black and LGBT+ community. Ron DeSanctis, who described gender-affirming care as "Chemical Castration" resided over this race. If this was going down in Saudi Arabia or Qatar, we'd be all over calling this shit out. But in Miami, virtually crickets. Why? 

It's a difficult but necessary conversation, and we fear Motorsport101 might be one of the few places we'll get it. Listen in.
