We did it, Vankers. We survived a totally mid F1 season. But you know what's NOT mid? Our spicy season wrap-up. The guys talk about how the season was basically a Thanksgiving dinner, how Ferrari had us in the first half, why Carlos Sainz looks so natural on a beach, when Mercedes took a little too much flat tummy tea, the PTSD of Monaco, the mindset of Daniel Ricciardo fans, porpoising (remember that??), why we won't blindly root for our own countrymen, Pierre Gasly vs. Esteban Ocon, and why this was actually a very, very bad year for Max Verstappen.

Live from New York -- it's THE RED FLAGS!!

WHEW what a season. It didn't matter that the race was a snoozer because we had LOTS to discuss. Like THE Sebastian Vettel Farewell Dinner, how Max Verstappen is basically Trump and the fact that he's not a serial killer should be studied, the drivers' rap personas, Sir Lewis Hamilton running a social media agency from his cockpit, who's the best driver at "middling," parents on social media, Max having a lot of time to change his public image, next season of "Drive to Survive" being AMAZING, and why feeling helpless actually feels... really good.

Shout out to the REAL ONES -- the SoCal Vankers who showed up to our live show at The Virgil! This was an XTRA spicy one. The guys got into everything Brazilian GP including Max Verstappen's lack of reciprocation for Checo Perez, why Ferrari won't let Matt find inner-peace, George Russell the bot and his 2006 lingo, Sir Lewis Hamilton's special room where he lets off steam, the absurdity of having tear-offs, Dark Lord Fernando Alonso going Carrie on Esteban Ocon, and Mercedes playing the protective daddy.

We finally watched Season 1 of "Fernando" on Amazon Prime and we've got a lot to say. The guys discuss how Carlos Sainz Sr. is the Daddy of the Universe, why Fernando Alonoso might be the most environmentally sustainable F1 driver on the grid, starting a fundraiser to send Matt to Alonso's museum and karting school in Spain, Nico Rosberg's neverending trolling of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton, and why Brian's guilt would get in the way of his F1 dreams.

The race may have been a snooze, but we've got an episode hotter than the Mariachi remix of the F1 theme song. We cover all the drama that happened leading up to the race -- Will Buxton deciding to come for the commentator GOD Martin Brundle, why Fernando Alonso is the Shakespearean villain of F1, Ted Kravitz proudly representing TeamLH, Red Bull's boycott of SkySports, and the insanity of Bernie Ecclestone brokering the cost cap punishment. Plus -- how hot we are for Daniel Ricciardo's redemption arc, why Matt thinks Ocon is like Starbucks, why Checo's VERY INVOLVED dad is triggering, and how Mercedes was gaslighting their drivers.

The only thing more egregious than the FIA's corruption is Matt's deathbed voice (get well soon, bubbeleh!). The boys cover all the headlines from this week's Japanese GP including Pierre Gasly's warranted anger, why the FIA should hire us if they want to become really good at cheating, the cinematic story arc of Seb vs. Alonso, how Christian's whooping Toto in 3D chess, why we should invade Switzerland, Sir Lewis and Max being eerily similar, why Danny Ric has too much to live for, and 2 simple words that will solve Red Bull's cost cap issue: DEBIT CARD.

They say never meet your heroes, but they weren't talking about the F1 machine and host of the iconic podcast Missed Apex -- Spanners Ready. If your kink is hearing a motorsport "generalist" get as feisty as Matt and tell him he's WRONG, then this is the episode for you. The guys talk about races ending under safety cars, Fernando Alonso the guilty pleasure, why our podcast is like a mistress, how the F1 greats of the 70s were basically "hobbyists," and why we all dedicate so much time, energy, and love to something that has the lowest stakes.

Brian's on the Greek Isles getting tzatziki massages poolside while Matt and Producer Jeni carry the weight of their incredibly successful podcast. The race may have been a snooze, but there was no sleep for us (bc Riverside SUX) and we had a LOT to discuss. We talk Daniel Ricciardo's really not at all tragic layoff, Fernando Alonso being the reincarnation of Cthulhu, Ferrari's talk to text radio strategy, how F1 continues to prove it's the best reality show in the game, throw in a French lesson and some commonly misused phrases for all you dummies, AND give the definitive answer to that age-old debate "Does size really matter?" 

Note to Jeni's dad who listens religiously -- you can skip from 27:15 to 32:01.

WE MISS U, BRIAN!

F1 Twitter's number 1 sh*tposter, Dan Drury, AKA EngineMode11, talks to the guys about what it was like to do IT for Helmut Marko, why Max would visit the Geek Squad, party monster Adrian Newey, why Dan's blocked by WTF's Matt Gallagher (c'mon dude, he's a changed man!), who he thinks are the biggest FRAUD drivers and team principals, and what it's like to TECHNICALLY host Lewis Hamilton in your home for tea. This is a fun one.
