Show Notes

In our very first episode Josh, Erin, and Jim introduce themselves and discuss how they came to be Formula 1 fans, the podcast format, and mission statement. We also go over some Formula 1 basics for anyone new to the sport and give a complete 2021 team & driver rundown! 

Beginning at the back of the grid and working up, we have team Haas featuring Nikita Mazepin & Mick Schumacher, followed by Alfa Romeo featuring Kimi Raikkonen & Antonio Giovinazzi.  Next up would be Williams featuring Nicholas Latifi & George Russell, followed by Sebastian Vettel & Lance Stroll driving for Aston Martin. Alpha Tauri is after that featuring Pierre Gasly & rookie Yuki Tsunoda. Alpine follows with drivers Esteban Ocon and veteran Fernando Alonso. Working our way into the top four we find  Ferrari featuring Josh's favorite driver Charles LeClerc along with Carlo Sainz. Mclaren currently holds P3 in the constructor's championship with drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Riccardo.  In a very tight battle in the top two team spots, we find Red Bull Racing Honda and Mercedes.  Red Bull's driver lineup includes Sergio Perez and strong driver's championship contender Max Verstappen. At the top of the list comes team Mercedes featuring Valtteri Bottas & 7-time world champion and current individual points-leader Lewis Hamilton.
