Ep 142: Miami Madness: Antonelli 3-Peat, Leclerc Penalty & the Lambiase Power Play
<p>We're back after a couple of weeks away, and Miami gave us enough chaos to fill three episodes. Kimi Antonelli just won his third consecutive Grand Prix — surviving another terrible start from pole, a three-way scrap with Verstappen and Leclerc into Turn 1, and sustained pressure from Lando Norris — to extend his championship lead. At 19 years old, this kid is making history look routine.</p><p><br></p><p>The drama didn't stop at the checkered flag. Leclerc spun on the final lap, hit the wall, and then got slapped with a 20-second post-race penalty for leaving the track repeatedly — dropping him from sixth to eighth. Verstappen spun at the start, recovered to fifth, but picked up his own five-second penalty for crossing the pit exit line. Russell collected fourth after collisions with both Leclerc and Verstappen that sent multiple drivers to the stewards. It was the kind of race where the post-race document pile was thicker than the race itself. </p><p><br></p><p>Then there's the off-track drama that might be even juicier. Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies told Sky Sports that Gianpiero Lambiase — Verstappen's longtime race engineer — is leaving to become McLaren's team principal. McLaren CEO Zak Brown immediately fired back: "He knows something I don't, apparently." The two camps met in Miami to clear the air, but the implication is clear — Red Bull is either telling the truth or deliberately trying to destabilize McLaren from the inside. Either way, it's incredible paddock theater.</p><p><br></p><p>We'll break down all of it — the race, the penalties, the regulation tweaks in action, the Lambiase chess match, and whether Antonelli is genuinely running away with this championship or if McLaren is about to close the gap. Welcome back to The Fast Ones.</p>

Ep 141: F1 Rewrites the Regs, Wheatley's Next Move & Remembering Juha
<p>The break between races hasn't exactly been quiet. The FIA just confirmed a sweeping package of regulation changes for the Miami Grand Prix — super clipping adjustments, qualifying energy limits slashed, a new race start safety system, and wet weather tweaks — all aimed at making these cars less about management and more about racing. We'll break down what's actually changing, what it means for the grid, and whether it's enough to quiet the growing chorus of criticism.</p><p><br></p><p>We'll also dig into who Jonathan Wheatley actually is — from Benetton mechanic in the '90s to the voice in Michael Masi's ear during Abu Dhabi 2021 — and what his move to Aston Martin means for both Audi and the wider paddock. Kimi Antonelli enters Miami as the youngest championship leader in F1 history, holding that title through the entire calendar break because George Russell couldn't do anything about it from his couch.</p><p><br></p><p>And we'll take a moment to remember Juha Miettinen, a 66-year-old Finnish privateer who lost his life in a seven-car crash during the Nürburgring 24 Hours qualifying race this weekend. A man who raced a BMW 325i around the Nordschleife for nearly a decade, won class championships, and loved that track more than most. Motorsport reminds us sometimes that the risks are real at every level.</p><p><br></p><p>Racing comes back in two weeks. There's a lot to process before it does.</p>

Ep 140: Off-Week Detour: NASCAR Talk, Ricciardo Rumors & George Russell Slander
<p>F1 is on a break, so we're taking the scenic route. This week we're wandering into NASCAR territory to talk about how Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing team is absolutely cooking right now, what that means for the sport, and why their momentum is one of the most entertaining storylines in American motorsport.</p><p><br></p><p>Then we get into the rumor mill: is NASCAR actually trying to recruit Daniel Ricciardo? The idea alone is enough to send our group chat into overdrive, and we've got thoughts on whether the Honey Badger would thrive in stock cars, whether it makes any kind of business sense, and what his NASCAR livery would absolutely have to look like.</p><p><br></p><p>And because it wouldn't be a Fast Ones episode without it, we're circling back to our favorite pastime — dunking on George Russell. There's always something. There will always be something.</p><p><br></p><p>No lights out this week, just good vibes, side tangents, and the kind of off-week hangout that reminds you why you subscribed in the first place.</p>
