Another great episode! Basically it is the perfect weekend racing wrap in sound format.
Here is something that you could discuss in one of the future epsiodes. What do you think of the F1 calendar? Do you believe it is going to expand further (if yes, then which venues will be added to it) and which races are under threat? Would you make any changes to the current calendar if you could?

Its a great podcast. Really professionally done by two well informed guys.
I do have 3 wishes if you will:
1. More F1 analysis to cover more (all) the talkingpoints a little more in depth (from the sauber teamorders/clash to the mysterious lack of pace from Rosberg and from why RIC was even in a race with HAM to begin with apart from the pitstop faillure, to Sainz’ pitstop wo’s etc)
2. More on upcoming drivers like Vadoorne, Ocon and how they are doing and maybe young Americans that look promising in Indy Lights and Star Mazda
3. A longer episode to facilitate points 1 & 2
Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed the indy for one the higher downforce cars seemed to be easier to driver hence the relatively small number of crashes on the other hand though the drafts were not as effective as in previous years, the chevys went quicker as the race went on but still lost out, and the rest I think you’ve covered. A lot more to talk about from f1, it might not have been the 100th edition of the monaco gp but unlike Indy and not to take anything away from the challenge and the competition the 100th Indy is above all a number, as the identity it’s historical value and continuity are somewhat artificial, specially taking in consideration that for a while now it’s a spec race. A little bummed out that you’ve refrain from discussing the sensitive subject of the lawsuit and it’s repercussions, pointless to podcast about but there’s some big questions and some lack of transparency that some fans of f1 may not be aware of.
