Pit Talk: Recent Episodes
Nate Yaoz, Holly Duggan
We're finally back, after many months away. But somehow Ferrari aren't? They began the year with the fastest car, and should have had the championships in the bag, but in this episode we discuss the various shortcomings of the season, not just from Ferrari - but from the whole grid. What's been happening while we were away? Holly tells us some Silverstone stories (tickets are out and the price is going up quick!).
And the link to the Formula 2 version of Drive to Survive, as promised:

Lights out in a slightly altered Jeddah Corniche circuit, ending with another epic battle between Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. Checo Perez finishes with an unlucky P4 after his first pole position and the first Mexican driver ever do get one. 7 cars retire, Latifi hits the wall again (he didn't like the race order so he went for the concrete), all for Max to win Round 2 of the 2022 season.
This is a race review of Round 2 in Saudi Arabia.
The season opener finishes with a bang, the expected finishers are flipped on their heads and shocked faces all round. As promised, the new regulations allowed for much closer racing, and the cars really look as good as we wanted them to.
We review the 2022 Sakhir Grand Prix in this episode.
Alfa Romeo, formerly Sauber F1, driven by the likes of Raikkonen, Massa, Villeneuve and Vettel just to name a few. But with only one win under their belt, can Finn Valterri Bottas and rookie Guanyu Zhou break their losing streak?
With rich history and once the best car on the grid, to back markers and a pair of youngster rookies. Where are Williams now?
Haas F1; the first American Formula 1 team in 30 years and the first US F1 team to score points in their first race. They went from 8th to 5th in constructors championship, all the way to plum last. Previously known for their loved Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen; now for the son of a giant, Mick Schumacher and a very scrutinised Russian Nikita Mazepin. Will they pull themselves out of their rut, or will they pull out of F1?
Since acquisition in 2005, they've gone from junior team to sister. But can Pierre Gasly continue to pull them out of Red Bull's shadow? And will youngster Yuki Tsunoda finally fulfil his promised potential?
Minardi to Scuderia Toro Rosso to Scuderia Alpha Tauri: Who are they now?
Toto Wolff, Lewis Hamilton and new addition George Russell. With the new regulations and Valtteri Bottas gone, we ask ourselves: Are Mercedes still the future?
Do they have a first driver? Will Daniel Ricciardo ever win a championship? How much potential does Lando Norris really have?
Today we talk McLaren.
