Kurtis and Bernie are back, so sorry about that. We talk about the Bahrain GP because that’s the race that took place this weekend, so it would have been odd to talk about a different one. Winners, losers, Alex Albon talk, the usual.
First sprint race weekend of the year, little bit of weird weather, little bit of crashing Ferraris on their home turf. An interesting weekend overall, with the race itself maybe being the least interesting bit. We talk sprint qualifying in general, how to fix F1 (worse brakes!), and you know...the regular stuff.
Australia was good. Not great, not bad. Good, solid race. Ferrari has some pace, eh? And if Max Verstappen didn't have bad luck he would have no luck at all.
More importantly though, Bernie gets to talk extensively about Alex Albon, which we know is why you guys are all here.
Here it is, technically the first episode of Stalled Aero, but its really just the same old 107% you've come to know and tolerate. A hot mess of a weekend, we talk about the missile attacks before the race, Mick's giant shunt, the race result...and somehow we spend like 4x as much time on the Stroll/Albon incident than we do on Max's race winning pass, because that's just what we do here.
F1 is back, yes boys! After a frankly exhausting offseason of safety car rules, Fraudstappen and Fraudmilton, and everything except the racing that we all love, Formula 1 is back with an absolute banger of a first round in Bahrain.
Kurtis and Bernie talk about the pace of Ferrari, Mercedes being there to pick up Red Bull's pieces, Alexander Albon, and all thing Haas. The Haasterclass. The Renhaasance. Kevin Backnussen and Guenther 5teiner, who today is probably fine with Kevin smashing any door he wants.
Its been a little over two months since the events of Abu Dhabi 2021, and we wanted to revisit it to see if we felt any differently now given the things we've learned since. We also react to the cars that have been launched at the time of recording, and the news of Michael Andretti trying to start his own new F1 team dropped literally minutes before we started recording.
Right, so like some of you, Bernie and I are Muricans. And because of that, we wanted to do something a little different for COTA, and we did: we managed to synch up our TV feeds and we recorded this episode during the USGP. We talk about the race as its unfolding, we talk about other goings on in F1 during some lulls, we talk about Alex Albon because that's like 15% of the show by now. Mostly we just had a good time watching a really great race. The US appetite for F1 is real, y'all. Get on the bus.
Man, a lot of stuff sure happened this weekend, didn’t it? It really jumped up a notch. Anyway Bernie and I get into what went on, how wrong our predictions were, and I fought valiantly to stay awake because I am an old person.
Okay so maybe the top 5 thing can't go on forever, but we do have a few ideas for a few more of them. Today's is our top 5 best looking cars, combination of shape and livery. We also preview Baku, speak very briefly about the Indy 500, and go through some news even though its been a bit of a slow week.
As usual, Monaco provides very little actual racing excitement but a good deal of drama. Bernie and Kurtis talk a little about qualifying, the race proper, the misfortunes of one Charles Leclerc, Poor Old Valtteri Bottas (thank you David Hobbs), Mercedes's terrible horrible no good very bad day, and a great weekend for the boys from Milton Keynes.
Bernie and Kurtis cover the lead up to Monaco, the news of the week in McLaren's retro Gulf livery and Red Bull's bendy wing. We also finally get to our top 5 favorite driver lists after threatening with it for weeks.
Naturally we forget to talk about Romain Grosjean's stellar P2 in IndyCar this week, and the Lando Norris contract dropped about 4 hours after we finished recording, because of course it did.

Kurtis and Bernie talk about a surprisingly engaging Spanish Grand Prix. Through the grid, winners and losers, all the stuff we usually do. Also some brief Robin Hood: Men in Tights talk.
Our review of a lackluster Portuguese Grand Prix, a short preview of Spain, racing sim talk, other tangents.
Bernie and Kurtis talk about the Imola GP, which we don’t say the whole name of because it would have added 30 minutes to the show. A much more focused effort than the first episode, if I’m honest.
Okay so here's what happened. Bernie and I decided on like three days notice to do a podcast, and the only time we could do it was after my kids went to bed so I was a bit dumb about the whole thing because I'm apparently an old man and it was past my bed time. We had things we wanted to talk about but no real structure to the show, which we'll have a better handle on next week. Mostly we just wanted to see how the conversation went, and it was good! The show next week will be tighter, so just kinda stick with us and we'll figure it out.
There's no intro because I said the name of the show wrong, and the outro is messed up because I had turned off the recording. Truly I am an amateur. Anyway, this is the 107% F1 Show, thanks for listening.
Well, that was something in Abu Dhabi, wasn't it? Right from the first turn it seemed this was going to be an FIA affair, and so it turned out to be. I think we skip over qualifying almost entirely in this one and just get right into it, which seemed to be the thing to do. If you enjoyed us bashing the FIA last week, you'll love this episode.
If you read these descriptions, I want to thank you for checking us out in our first season of podcasting. We collectively had zero experience when we started and now we have almost no experience at all, but we had a lot of fun and some people did actually listen, for which we're grateful. We'll check in during the off season, and the 107% F1 Show will return for 2022. Thanks again everybody.
Saudi Arabia provided chaos. I think we all thought the track might do that, being the second fastest and second narrowest track on the calendar, but even by the lofty standards we may have expected, this was chaos. FIA incompetence, brake checking, incomplete communication, and we got heart breakingly close to another Esteban Ocon podium (fun fact: Ocon has led more laps this year than anybody not named Hamilton or Verstappen). Kurtis and Bernie talk it out, rant about the FIA, and make a prediction for next week.
I'm told by reliable sources that there was in fact a race this weekend. Now personally, as a Max Verstappen fan, it pains me to think that I missed a race where he obviously won by quite a bit. Can somebody tell me how much he won by?
Anyway we talk about Brazil, Lewis' GOATness, and an excellent pass by Nikita Mazepin.
Even if the race this last weekend wasn't exactly a barn burner, the weekend itself was pretty compelling. From Christian Horner throwing Yuki under the bus and then wondering why everybody was talking about it, to Mercedes' one lap pace, to Max with an almighty send down the outside of turn one, Mexico provided us a lot to talk about. And of course, Checo on the podium in his home country was pretty fun, too.
We talk about the race, what else is going on, Alex Albon because we're contractually obligated to, and more. The show is also going to be available on YouTube now, so theres that.
Just like F1 itself, Kurtis and Bernie return disappointingly after a 1 month hiatus.
We talk about the race at Spa or the lack thereof, whether any points should have been awarded at all, and then because that took like 20 minutes we talk about the season thus far.
