Join Grace, Paul and me as we discuss the Formula 1 news of the week. We cover track upgrades, sprint races, Zak Brown, Zak Brown and more Zak Brown and even discuss VW, Audi and Porsche. Of course we have Albon’s Cats and Todd’s “No S*%$! Headlines”.
First off, thanks for always answering my questions with thoughtful and insightful replies. As far as a Mt. Rushmore of F1 goes (I’m going to limit myself to 4, because there are 4 heads on Mt. Rushmore).
Jackie Stewart
Lewis Hamilton
Michael Schumacher
Fernando Alonso
Apologies to Clark, Fangio, Vettel, Senna and Ascari
