Former podcast celebrating F1’s heroic failures, aiming to make the serious trivial/the trivial serious. Still making pithy comments. Not endorsed by Formula 1.

It’s been 23 years since Gaston ‘Mad Dog’ Mazzacane was the last Argentine F1 driver before Franco Colapinto? I feel old …
Red Bull’s special livery for Silverstone very cleverly avoids any attempt by Just Stop Oil protesters to deface their cars by defacing it with splotches of red paint (or is that tomato soup?) themselves.

Dear McLaren: I am trying really hard to like you, ever since you went papaya, hired two Aussies, have a genuinely passionate team boss, and pulled off a Gulf livery AND a Coloni tribute at Monaco. But you make it hard when your IndyCar squad treats Theo Pourchaire like that …

The message we are getting from this Monaco GP and the penalties to Ocon is that F1, the pinnacle of motorsport, is all about going as slow as possible and not trying to pass anyone. Thereby differentiating it from all other forms of motorsport.
AGP takeaways:
* Max should always race with a handbrake on.
* Gym/sim work is overrated compared to major surgery.
* Who seriously thinks Hamilton is an upgrade on Sainz?
* Getting a non-swearing but incomprehensible Gunther Steiner to do interviews is such an Aussie thing to do
To Danny and Oscar: Valtteri is more Aussie than you. (And to think that, for further Aussie product placement, he could’ve referred to his own initials …)

Your first car could NEVER... So we made a second car that could. Purpose built for an Aussie road trip.

While Mercedes pays tribute to 2015-16 vintage Force India with its livery this year, Ferrari takes inspiration from the 1998 Williams … the colour scheme everyone panned for making Williams look too much like Ferrari.

Wait, what?!? An actual livery?
Valiant attempt, but despite the blue with flashes of white and red, they forgot to paint the sidepods a golden yellow …

Who needs coverage in 4K HD when it appears that you could watch F1 this year in black and white and hardly notice the difference?
Williams strikes an initial blow in their battle against Haas this year by cleverly putting the name of Haas’ new team principal on the side of the FW46 …

Am I the only one who thinks that Hamilton to Ferrari in 2025, as big as it would be, adds to a tiresome trend of drivers in their 40s making bombshell moves that deprive younger drivers of opportunities? Spare a thought for Carlos Sainz Jr right now …
So … F1 won’t give Andretti a visa to join the sport because too many are precious about their stakes, but hide it behind excuses which are a load of bull and show they have a strange understanding of how they want fans to get their kicks …
The other thing is, Sauber and Minardi’s seemingly ridiculous team names this year are because they wanted to come up with something that we would want to turn into one of our legendary acronyms. Like HWNSNBM and ANTSMSW5PG.

If the rumours are to be believed and Visa will be involved with the-team-formerly-known-as-Minardi, I hope that entices Mastercard back into F1. It remains a travesty that one of the greatest liveries of all time got no more than those practice runs in Melbourne in 1997.
RIP F2 stalwart and one of our all-time favourites Alberto Colombo, the man with the unique distinction of not only having sat behind the wheel of a Merzario but was possibly inspired by it in trying to set up his own F1 team called Riviera.

It would undoubtedly be of the appearance that a certain person who is the epitomisation of a tremendous desire for a hue which is the nuanced blending of black and white should be the recipient of an honorific honour from the monarchical Head of State.

What a Christmas treat for @jmac_ref and @enoch_law to finally sit down to watch the Andrea Moda documentary along with accompanying photo book. We discovered so much that even we didn’t know about the story!
