This week on Box Box F1 Pod we are talking all things Miami Grand Prix. Starting with the off track happenings like the celebrities! There was a wild James Marsden that appeared on the side of the track (or was that world Tennis champion, Roger Federer?? Hard to tell.) Plus an 11th team is joining the grid, Alfa Romero. I hear they’re giving out hot laps! Not to mention everything that happened on track, like Max’s incredible double overtake and Fernando’s continued domination of the track (and our hearts). And even though Red Bull might still be the new Mr. 305, the one positive from this weekend is that there were no signs of Chuck this year (although the pre-race interviews might have actually been worse).

Thrilling weekend in Jeddah starring our new track trio I guess. We got some exciting moments on track as well as some killer radios (or tragic if you’re Ferrari & Charles 😭). Plus, the FIA dropped extra drama like a post-credit scene in a Marvel film.  Like, will George Russell and Fernando Alonso have shared custody of the  P3 trophy or??

Drive to Survive is my F1 origin story and deserves endless discussion. BUT I’ve condensed all my thoughts into this (relatively) brief recap of DTS season 5 (if you haven’t watched yet, get on Netflix ASAP). I chat about favorite moments like that epic team principal meeting and also the truly cinematic coverage of Silly Season. And I touch on the important moments from the 2022 season that I think Netflix missed out on. Hope you enjoy!

The Bahrain GP kicked off the 2023 F1 season with a bang! Red Bull dominated (which is kinda boring), McLaren suffered from an ailment known as KARMA (justice for Danny Ric), Alpine was plagued with penalties galore (the FIA’s vendetta against Pierre continues), and Aston Martin stole the show (Lance Stroll scored points & was literally broken & Fernando Alonso is serving biiiiig main character energy).

Time for the Brazil Grand Prix! The weekend included a biblical storm that somehow didn’t show up on anyone’s weather radar (Karen Smith would have more success than an F1 team with a weather radar), Charles once again falling victim to his curse (the Monaco Witch strikes again), and Max joined by two of his favorite recurring guests Lando and Fernando.

O.M.G. What a RACEE!! The Monza Grand Prix was everything we could have asked for and more. Records were broken (big up Max Verstappen 🙌), battles were fought (yay for the Tifosi and also anyone check on Fred Vasseur lately), podiums were won (a moment for Carlos Sainz and his HAIR), Estie Besties were lost (we found him dw), watches were stolen AND retrieved (when Carlos Sainz isn’t racing or strategizing he’s actually fighting crime).
