The Episode Garage

This is where the chaos of Formula 1 gets unpacked, overanalyzed, and laughed about—one race at a time. Every episode of Motorsport Podcast lives here, whether it's a deep dive into turn-one drama or just us yelling about why Ferrari did that again.

We’re two passionate fans with no insider access, no engineering degrees, and zero chill—but plenty of opinions. Especially when it comes to Oscar Piastri, the future of F1 (fight us), and Lewis Hamilton, the undisputed GOAT who still deserves that 8th title. If you're here for Max Verstappen praise... well, you might be in the wrong paddock. Respect where it's due—but let's just say we won’t be naming any pets after him.

Each week, we break down the biggest stories on and off the track: the overtakes, the meltdowns, the podiums, the penalties, and all the behind-the-scenes drama that makes F1 so addictively messy. Expect sarcasm, unexpected metaphors, and a healthy dose of bias. We’re here for the passion, not the perfect analysis — and if you’re still wondering what tire deg actually means, don’t worry, so are we.

New episodes drop after every race weekend—packed with banter, breakdowns, and the occasional rant about track limits, unsafe releases, or why the FIA seems to spin a wheel to make decisions.

So scroll down, hit play, and get ready to laugh, disagree, and maybe cry. We’re not trying to be the most accurate—just the most entertaining.

    Podium for Persistence: Hülkenberg Shines at Silverstone

    Nico Hülkenberg is finally on the podium—and it couldn’t have happened at a more iconic venue than Silverstone. In this episode, we dive into a thrilling British Grand Prix that gave fans everything: a home victory for Lando Norris, a heartbreaking near-miss for Oscar Piastri, and a long-overdue celebration for Hülkenberg.

    Lando claimed the win in front of an electrified home crowd, but it wasn’t without pressure from Oscar—who was taken out of real contention by what can only be described as a completely unfair penalty.

    And then there’s Hülkenberg: over a decade of grit finally rewarded with a standout drive and his first-ever Formula 1 podium after more than 200 race starts. We unpack how he pulled it off, what it means for Sauber, and why this moment might be one of the most emotional highlights of the entire season.

We dive into Lando Norris’s stellar qualifying performance that basically sealed the deal, how the race became a high-speed follow-the-leader game, and why Monaco continues to be F1’s most frustrating love affair. Was it a parade? Absolutely. Did Lando still crush it? Also yes.
