(1)

Tales of life on the road from three Formula One journalists (loose term) and broadcasters (very loose term), Lawrence Barretto, Chris Medland and Nate Saunders. From amusing interview exchanges or interactions with drivers, ridiculous dramas with hire cars, road trip tales and stories of hangovers and how we got them.

21/06/2023

There's a very nervy Lawrence on today's show, despite an impressive sporting achievement against an F1 driver and Chris's own pathetic stag do story. To try and make him feel better, Nate insults the French, or the French Canadians, or maybe both...

28/05/2023

Lawrence makes an absolute mockery of the joke scoring system when confronted with an in-person episode in Monaco, that was recorded to the background of pizza and beer. Nate shares all of Danny Ric's secrets, and Chris declares his love for Casino Square

21/05/2023

In the absence of Imola, we thought we'd do a show this Sunday in case you're that desperate for F1 content. Even though this is barely F1 content - there's MLB talk, IndyCar talk, gardening talk and eventually some Imola and Monaco talk

10/05/2023

We wake up ESPN TV star Nate from a jet-lagged nap to record, and it shows. Lawrence was back first from Miami but loses it very early on, and Chris plugs a free hotel that made him feel like a total baller (thanks GrandPrixGrandTours.com)

25/04/2023

It's a sprint episode talking about the sprint shootout before Chris sprints to the airport, and he's just enjoying himself far too much today. Lawrence makes strange noises, and Nate offers a chance to be on the podcast to a golfer. Any golfer.

13/04/2023

Yeah we forgot to mention it for the last two attempts, but never mind. Lawrence is back, Nate's grudge against him is intensifying and Chris remembers annoying Pastor Maldonado by not knowing what happened to him

05/04/2023

It's a short episode this week, but don't worry, normal service will be resumed next week. All will become clear (except none of it is clear at all)

23/03/2023

Only Chris went to Jeddah and doesn't have that much to say about it, but he fails to defend himself from accusations he loves Red Bull's dominance. Nate is a TV star who listens to races on the radio, and Lawrence plays squash against a top-20 in the world

09/03/2023

Fresh from Bahrain, there's plenty of respect for Lance Stroll, a little less for the Mercedes u-turn, and none for dolphins from Nate. Toto Wolff means Chris is now at war with his fiancée during grid walks, and Lawrence is going to need some dry ice in Vegas

28/02/2023

Let's not beat around the bush, we all sound pretty bad for a variety of reasons. But we still managed to catch up on Lawrence's latest squash-playing antics with a few Sainz's, Nate's failed attempts to make Logan Sargeant laugh, and Chris' shortest story ever

10/02/2023

Lawrence is on his way back to New York, having been in New York last Friday with the other two. Nate only just made it in the first place after stacking it trying to be Rocky, and Chris may have been the reason Stefano Domenicali didn't appear when called on stage at the Red Bull launch...

18/01/2023

Nate has been discovering pubs with Lawrence or discovering breweries with Chris, who is just happy F1 never suffers from frozen pitches. There's also a shocking shoe admission from Barretto, as they all work out there's plenty of F1 news to talk about but realise too late for this episode

20/12/2022

An episode full of highlights (when Chris can remember any), humblebrags, failures and even a poem. Miraculously, none of them include Lawrence's shoes, golf or karting. So Nate's happy.

30/11/2022

Actual discussion about Binotto leaving follows a live review, and Nate pretty much fixes Ferrari's problem with a new team kit. Chris posed for a photo with Seb but walked out of an Aston Martin lunch, and Lawrence reveals he asked a massive question

15/11/2022

Far too much serious chat in this episode, but Lawrence rode a bike with Felipe Massa, Chris VERY nearly got kicked by Guenther Steiner, and Nate isn't buying what people are selling when it comes to Sergio Perez

02/11/2022

Lawrence offends all of Canada when trying to be nice about James Hinchcliffe, Nate embraces his newfound superstardom and Chris is jet lagged so doesn't offer much more than the usual

21/10/2022

As if this podcast couldn't get any less professional, this week Lawrence, Nate and Chris are in a bar together on Rainey Street ahead of the USGP. Nate is the face of ESPN for a few days, Chris gets stunned by some breaking news mid-show and Lawrence is getting too famous for his many shoes

05/10/2022

Nate's had a promotion, Lawrence hasn't had a fan gift and Chris has been outing a panel of drivers for things they thought they'd said in a private setting. But none of it can speed up the FIA's cost cap announcement, so they take to plagiarising The Reserve Drivers instead

22/09/2022

Nate makes a bold prediction after a controversial review, Chris nails the segues and Lawrence is cold. But there's plenty of driver market chat, Yuki Tsunoda gets some love, and Monza not quite as much...

08/09/2022

It turns out Nate did know what he was talking about, and Chris didn't. Lawrence explains his special Zandvoort designs and enjoying the party in the Netherlands, Chris got a straight answer out of Helmut Marko and someone rightly gave the podcast a one star review because they expected actual F1 in...

01/09/2022

We're back! Because Nate came to Zandvoort (turns out he was here last year) and does a live review. Lawrence plays more squash against Carlos and an actual pro, and Chris sees Fernando come to get his cap from Lewis

02/08/2022

Before it all REALLY kicked off, we predicted it might kick off between Alpine and Piastri after Alonso's bombshell. But spent most of the episode with Nate being upset at Ferrari, Chris complaining Lewis doesn't support the Panthers, and Lawrence being late

26/07/2022

It hurt us almost as much as it hurt you, but we're going to talk about the pain again. Nate cries, Chris has an awkward exchange with Lewis and Lawrence hasn't signed off the design for his Zandvoort shoes yet

19/07/2022

Such is the commitment to the pod, this was recorded at the hottest time on the hottest day in UK history. It explains the random ramblings about the driver market and trophies, and an F1 journalist who ate a Crunchie with brie.Plus we've got an ad! Get 20% OFF + Free Shipping with promo....

15/07/2022

Yes, Nate said those words. You might not hear them over the constant murmuring of the passengers at Raleigh Airport only getting Chris's side of the pod, while Lawrence hands Ferrari the next 10 championships

05/07/2022

Sorry for all the F1 chat, but Nate does have a story about being broad on a plane, Lawrence went to the beautiful memorial for Sir Frank Williams, and Chris was distracted by cricket and didn't offer much.

28/06/2022

Nate's been dancing like Dua Lipa at a fancy Pirelli lunch, while Lawrence then copied him during a romantic weekend in Paris. At least Chris has actually been working, heading to McLaren and Red Bull to hear about imaginary cities and not-very-affordable hypercars

24/06/2022

It's the complete opposite set-up to last week, but the reviews of the bar episode pretty much take over. Plus Nate sings Fernando, Chris does a u-turn on Ferrari and Lawrence is still dining out on what he calls the world's best burger in Montreal

15/06/2022

This will either be the greatest episode you've ever heard, or diabolical. We're not sure which, because we haven't listened back to it. Nate does a live review, Lawrence meets a shoe guy, and Chris gets caught by the Sleutheria at a Williams pop-up
