Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound, an American take on F1. This week:

• Can reverse grids work in Formula One?
• Will next year's spending cap favor the lean, scrappy (poor) teams?
• We look back at that 1981 season ending race in...Las Vegas!
• We can't wait for Miami Grand Prix
• Gasly and Yuki's great chemistry
• The rise of energy drink sponsors in Formula One
• Biased British F1 media sides with Hamilton over Verstappen
• The debut of Across the Line.  Our top 5 finish predictions. 1 point for every correct choice, 3 points for every driver that finishes exactly as predicted.  Once a driver is off the board, no one else can take him. For next week's Hungary race:
