It's the end of F1 as we know it and I feel fine
from Hard Compound, an American Take on Formula 1 · host Team Hard Compound
A special episode of Hard Compound. As Formula 1's long break comes to a close, Patrick and Brian examine all that F1 is leaving behind. The end of old school F1, daddy drivers, hustlers, and the fighter pilot mentality. For good or bad, F1 now demands drivers who are more like shuttle astronauts than fighter pilots. The end of the Middle East influence over the sport. Quite possibly, the end of Alonso (and Albon) after this year. Plus, our crazy predictions. Why we predict Ford will buy Racing Bulls. Why we predict a robot-run pit crew. And why F1 might adopt a golf format rather than a single race. All this, and our favorite racing movies. Send us Fan MailAnd as always, thank you for listening to everybody's most beloved father and son F1 podcast!
