Another one! Feel like I'm kind of on a roll here, like who is she? But anyway today I have brought along another guest to chat about their f1 opinions especially as it relates to preseason or the upcoming season. It was really lovely sharing thoughts with Obakeng!
heyy hooo. So this one is a fun one! I have the first guest of the showwww and it *obviously* had to be Wame (who else would it be lol). Wame and I are very similiar in that we speak in tangents and so although I had a structure for this ep prepared, it was not utilised... but it was fun nonetheless. There is a lot less me in this one and I just let Wame kind of steer the ship a bit, which is great because she makes me laugh and has a lot to get off her chest!
Topics covered: F175 live, dynamics of the top-four teams heading into this season, and moreee.
This ep. is also up on the DRS Open Podcast!
Happpy New Yearrrrr!
I thought of titling this ep. something along the lines of " Thank you Ferrari for healing me", but that doesn't sound right so just sticking with Thanks! In this ep. I talk about what this new adventure with Ferrari means to me personallyy and unfortunately we still talk about Mercedes...butttt in the context of why this move to Ferrari is so special and why it just feels so good?
It was a bit of a ramble, what's new? Absolutely nothing lol. But had a fun time, cannot wait to get this season goinggggggg. LFG.
That's a wrapppp on the 2024 for season and 2024 in general. Currently uploading this at 21:00 on New Years Eve, because I just could not allow myself to not have the end of the season episode uploaded in 2024. So here we are. In a couple of hours Lewis will officially be a Scuderia Ferrari driver!!!!! AHhhh. This makes me more emotional than the farewell to be honest. But yeah i chat about that in the epi :))))
The final race of the seasonnnnnn. Also! Lewis' last race with Mercedes!!!!! I cannot believe we made it. I only have one episode left where i get to rant about Mercedes hahah. I might lowkey miss it, just from a habit perspective. But yeah F1 has been acting like Lewis is retiring.. sweet but mmhhh. Oh McLaren are the 2024 Constructors Champions!
Lewis reminding everyone who forgot who he actually is, because a lot of people were starting to act up! Hhaha lol but anyways, Lando v Max again, Merc disappointment ... again. We know the drillll
This is the beginning of a series of episodes talking about Lando v Max. I talk about whether lando's perspective v Max's is productive etcc.. and Merc and Lewis are in there too..duh
This is one of my usual rants, I talk about (as i tend to do) my journey with engaging in F1 and how social media F1 content really got me into F1 and how I feel like it's changed over the past year and a bit... and of course Mercedes (let me be)
I fail to be succinct and to the point as per. But I basically touch on why Aston was in reality Adrian's only viable option and why none of the top teams could match AM's offer. To be fair, he would be an incredible human to overlook the power and money of it all. It gets to the best of us most times.
This is yet another journal entry chronicling the journey of being TeamLH in 2024, a year where Mercedes is being kind of weird? Not kind of, is actually being weird lol. This is me trying to make sense of it or talk my way through it. With other bits and bobs in between.
This episode feels quite packed, I talk about a few topics because it had been a while since I last recorded. So I discuss my ever-evolving dynamic with F1 fandom and really fandom in general. I touch on *THAT* LH104 win, the importance of narratives and how it affects drivers like Norris, why giving the position back in Hungary was a no-brainer....and... how Hungary was a pivot for RBR and Maximilian...
I don't know what to tell you, the bulk of this ep. is a rant about what I think is going on at Mercedes. Adding my 2c to the main talking point of the weekend. Are Mercedes actually sabotaging LH???????? Regardless, the conclusion, is that there is something afoot and I process it all in this episode. In a slightly unhinged manner in some parts. This ep. is incoherent and tangential... so standard procedure :)
The Monaco Grand Prix weekend was full of interesting talking point, with the big one being that really sweet Charles Leclerc victory, well deserved of course. I then extensively talk about how weird the situation at Merc has become. Briefly touch on what happened on Lap 1 with that KMAG/Checo fiasco..and Alpine.......
I get pretty animated towards the midway of this episode and I just find it funny because you can just hear the desperation getting louder and louder lol. I discuss the Newey news and why a Ferrari announcement is probably "imminent". Well it better be!
I talked a lot in this episode... the Chinese GP gave us a lot of talking points and I touched on a few. Chatted a bit about how disappointing F1 journalism is, Lewis playing with set-up again, whether George should be looking for another seat , and a lot more.
Carlos had a really good weekend in Melbourne, showing up when he needed to, securing the team's first win of the season, fresh off the table with a missing appendix. Is he starting to outshine Charles THE Ferrari Golden Boy? Did Ferrari sign the wrong driver for their 2025 driver line-up? I discuss the different dynamics at play and why the answer is not a simple yes or no....
