Description

“Send us a Hey Now!”

All good things must come to an end and after three back to back races it was time for an off week.

We used the opportunity to do two things.

1 - Speak with friend of the show, Rob Reed, and grill him about an F1 article he recently published in Forbes where he made a series of predictions about this years season

2 - Come up with another one of our special segments and discuss which tracks we think would work if run backwards and then decide on a winner.

Episode running order is:

1) News & Social

• All the best bits from both the sports news out there as well as what caught our eye on the various social channels

2) Brian's Video Vault 

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut53aKxfYNU. Saudi Arabian GP 2025 | Highlights | Comedy on F1 racing. Lollipopman. 7 mins. Especially like the Fernando/Gabi discussion and the Charles camera close-ups / radio with Brian and the return of Dr. Valtteri…
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNg0nrldZ_M. Inside Piastri & Verstappen's Tense Turn One Battle! | Jolyon Palmer’s F1 TV Analysis. F1 Channel. 8 mins. This was fine until he brought data and charts at the end and then wow - not just comparing Oscar and Max’s turn 1 telemetry, but then looking at Max’s Q3 T1 - NO WAY he was making that corner.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFBMsfZc0pE. Aston Martin Aramco X The Rolling Stones. Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team channel - one minute. NO IDEA what this was. An advert for a tshirt? what is the tie-in to the Rolling Stones?

3) A chat with Rob Reed

• https://www.forbes.com/sites/robreed/2025/04/21/the-2025-formula-one-season-after-five-races/ This is the article we were reviewing with Rob.

4) Masters of the Inverse

• Which tracks would be awesome if driven the opposite way?

5) Miami GP preview
