This week the AF1 crew starts off the podcast with our Formula 1 for 1diots segment discussing all things tires (tyres, for our European friends!). Modern Formula 1 cars are very hard on tires and Pirelli has a monstrous job each year (and every race) trying to figure out the best compounds to select.
We also discuss the Mexico City Grand Prix and the ongoing race (boom) for Driver's Championship between Max Verstappen (P1) and Lewis Hamiton (P2). Hometown favorite Sergio (Checko) Perez lands himself on the podium in P3 to the delight of the hugely supportive Mexcian crowd. Pierre Gasly had a great showing quietly taking P4 while Ferrari also had a good weekend with Charles LeClerc and Carlos Sainz finishing P5 & P6 respectively. McLaren continues to struggle and scores minimal points. All this and much more in Season 1, Episode 7! Thanks for listening!
