We’re debriefing the Las Vegas Grand Prix from everything that went right (shoeys with a straw, allll the overtakes!!, the cooldown car!!) and all the things that could have gone… better (the intro ceremony that was giving major Hunger Games, the loose hole covers, the generous compensation of fans and drivers alike). Let’s un-box box the Las Vegas GP!

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. So basically, your typical 2023 GP weekend. Let’s un-box box the Brazil GP!

The Singapore GP had it all.  Action. Carlos brought his Big Brain Energy to the track and single-handedly executed strategic brilliance while driving 200mph. Carlos IS Ferrari. Friendship.  Carlando shows that friendship always wins. An underdog story.  Liam Lawson thrives as a reserve rookie. And steamy scenes. bring on the ice baths!! Let’s debrief the Singapore Grand Prix!

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). And so much more. Let’s un-box box the Italian GP!

We’re debriefing the British Grand Prix with friends (insert Inbetweeners meme here). Lando Norris thrived. Alpine did not. Brad Pitt existed.  And so much more. Silverstone brought all the drama and we’re chatting about allll of it. Let’s un-box box the British GP!

A couple of notes:

• The Nyck de Vries and Daniel Ricciardo news dropped after recording. There’s an extra clip added addressing it, but please expect some of the comments in the pod to be ~2 days out of date!! 
• We went on several unplanned tangents which resulted in a slightly longer episode than normal (I edited it down for 5 hours 😭 😂) so I’ve added some chapters in case you want to skip around. 
• And shout out Dyaus for being such a great sport and discussing all my in-depth personality-based questions along with the race analysis 🥳

The Monaco Grand Prix was a loooong trip for basically the same results as quali?? But it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.

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). Let’s un-box box the Miami GP!

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! Box Box 📦📦

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).

We headed to Abu Dhabi for the final race of the season and got a lotttt more action off track than on. But, between Seb tributes, saying goodbye to some favorites, saying hello to some exciting new additions (and Nico. Seriously, stop trying to make Nico happen. It’s not going to happen!), and preparing for some of the inevitable drama coming in 2023, there is NO shortage of content to discuss. Let’s un-Box Box the Abu Dhabi GP!

Obrigado Brazil for giving us a race weekend with more twists and turns than Interlagos itself! Drama includes Max Verstappen allegedly unveiling a 6-month revenge plan (Alexa, play Mastermind by Taylor Swift) and potentially witnessing Checo’s villain origin story (Alexa, shuffle songs from Reputation by Taylor Swift).

Singapore might be hot, but this race lacked heat. Obvi other than Checo establishing himself as King of the Streets. Otherwise, it kinda felt like an endless stream of incidents after safety cars after DNFs on that damp Singapore concrete. BUT we did manage to squeeze some action in, and that was pretty sweet.

Like the drivers, I’m turning up the heat on Singapore GP prep. Step into my sauna as I dish out hot takes on Lando’s new hobbies, the latest driver market updates (bye bye Nicky), Martin Garrix giving F1 John Tucker, and more. And obviously, the track walk covers what you can expect this weekend as well as a shoutout to some of the hottest drama from ghosts of Singapore GPs past. Let’s prep for the Singapore GP!
