2 Guys, A Girl, and F1 Podcast

Lewis Hamilton won the Spanish Grand Prix. His first win for Ferrari, at the circuit that rewards the car above almost everything else, after a year of being told that whatever he achieved before was the machinery and not the man.

Sabrina saw a driver answering his doubters. Joe kept pulling the conversation back to the things the celebration was skating over: a Mercedes that was quicker in qualifying, the heat, the virtual safety c...

For five straight races, the story of the 2026 season was Kimi Antonelli. In Barcelona, the story changed.

Kimi did not finish. Lewis Hamilton won his first Grand Prix in Ferrari red. And a result that had looked settled for weeks finally broke open.

In this Race Notes episode, Sabrina works through a Spanish Grand Prix decided by strategy and nerve as much as speed. Hamilton started on softs, committed early to a three-stop, and was...

Kimi Antonelli won his fifth consecutive Formula 1 grand prix in Monaco. Behind him, nearly everything fell apart. And the most consequential thing that happened all weekend had nothing to do with the race. 

But the conversation was not really about the race. It became about something else. A one-page document that arrived in the paddock motorhomes on Sunday, circulating through teams while the celebration in the harbor was sti...

Kimi Antonelli won his fifth consecutive at Monaco -- the youngest winner in the race's history. He led every lap. He set pole and fastest lap. And when the restart came, the moment that had been his one visible vulnerability this season, he was flawless.

Everything behind him was chaos, heartbreak, and questions that don't have clean answers yet.

Pierre Gasly crossed the line third for Alpine. Two pit lane speeding penalties dropped...

Listener Drew asks: would driving Monaco in the opposite direction make the racing better? It's a clever way of asking the real question — is F1's most prestigious race also its worst, and can anything actually fix it?

In this episode, Dick and Sabrina take that question to Joe Saward, who has been going to Monaco since the early 1980s and has a clear-eyed view of exactly what the circuit is and isn't. The short answer on reve...

George Russell took sprint pole, won the sprint, took grand prix pole, and was leading the race when his engine failed on lap 30. Kimi Antonelli, free of pressure, set the two fastest laps of the race on the final two laps. Joe had a pointed read on what George's driving that weekend revealed -- and it wasn't about pace.

Charles Leclerc called Canada his worst weekend in Formula 1. Lewis Hamilton finished on the podium and looked li...

Kimi Antonelli has now won four consecutive Formula 1 grands prix. His streak did not look like it was going to survive Montreal. George Russell took sprint pole, won the sprint, took grand prix pole, and was leading the race when his power unit failed on lap 30.

That is the context. And it matters, because what Canada revealed is bigger than who crossed the line first.

In this Race Notes episode, Sabrina brings a perspective on a we...

Listener Heath asks: how do you define different F1 eras, and what are the markers that separate one from another? It's a question that sounds straightforward until you realize there's no official answer — and that the FIA has never even defined what counts as a Formula 1 driver.

In this episode, Dick and Sabrina explore F1 history and how we make sense of it with Joe Saward, a trained historian who has covered the sport since...

Listener Drew asks: if Nico Rosberg hadn't won the 2016 championship, would he still have retired? It's a question about one decision — but it opens up something much bigger about what it costs a driver to compete at the highest level.

In this episode, Dick and Sabrina dig into this with Joe Saward, who was there in 2016 and has watched the psychology of elite competition up close across decades of coverage. Joe's read on Nico...

What makes this podcast special? It's exploring F1 not just as a sport, but as this fascinating intersection of technology, strategy, business, and human psychology—and the best conversations happen when you're part of it.

In this PSA, Sabrina explains why listener questions drive the show's direction. What driver psychology fascinates you? Which team strategy decision still bugs you? What business aspect of F1 are you curious...

Kimi Antonelli has now won four consecutive Formula 1 grands prix. Miami was the first one where he had to earn it -- with a world champion behind him, car problems mid-race, and thirty laps of pressure that did not let up.

McLaren arrived with what Andrea Stella called almost an entirely new car. They were fast. They led. Joe Saward laughed.

That laugh is worth understanding. Because the question Dick, Joe, and Sabrina spent most of...

 Kimi Antonelli has now won four consecutive Formula 1 grands prix. Three in a row before Miami. And then Miami -- where for the first time this season, he had to actually earn it.

This was not a clean-air cruise. It was not a safety car gift. Lando Norris had the pace, McLaren had the upgrade, and the reigning world champion spent the final stint close enough to use his boost on every straight. Kimi did not crack. He managed g...

Listener Heath asks: with Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas now on the calendar, is Formula 1 growing the sport — or diluting it by over-Americanizing? It's a question Liberty Media has to answer every time a new contract gets signed, and Dick, Sabrina, and Joe Saward don't entirely agree on the answer.

Joe opens by challenging the premise: the United States isn't the world's biggest market by population — China and India bot...

Listener Drew asks: if you could put every current Formula 1 driver in the same generation of car for one race, which era would you choose? It sounds like a fun hypothetical — until you try to answer it.

In this episode, Dick and Sabrina bring the question to Joe Saward, who has watched the sport evolve across four decades and has little patience for cross-era comparisons that can't be proven. Dick makes the case for the late ...

Why have so few Americans made it to the Formula 1 grid in nearly 40 years of racing — and is the system designed to keep them out?

In this episode, Dick and Sabrina sit down with Joe Saward, one of the sport's most independent voices and one of only five journalists who attended every F1 race in 2025 on his own dime. They dig into the infrastructure, economics, and cultural realities that separate American karting talent from...

What's it really like to be a young Canadian F1 fan trying to build a career in motorsport law—and how does attending grands prix in North America compare to the European diehard experience? In this conversation, Sabrina sits down with Arisha Shory and Jennifer Cordeiro, third-year Canadian law students who met her at the Lawinsport Motorsport Law Conference in London and have attended COTA, Monza, and Barcelona.

They talk abo...

Kimi Antonelli has now won back-to-back Grands Prix, leads the 2026 Formula 1 World Drivers Championship at nineteen years old, and by the time Dick, Joe Saward, and Sabrina are done talking about what it took to unlock him -- you will understand why the result matters less than the story behind it.

But the episode pivots. Hard.

Ollie Bearman hit the wall at Spoon Curve in Japan at 50G. The drivers had warned the FIA about exactly th...

Kimi Antonelli is nineteen years old, has won two consecutive Grands Prix, and now leads the 2026 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship. History is being made in real time -- and Suzuka raised as many questions as it answered.

George Russell had a day that had nothing to do with pace. Max Verstappen could not get past Pierre Gasly. His teammate called the car terrible. Oscar Piastri finally made a race start, took the lead off the l...

What if starting karting in college wasn't too late, it was actually an advantage? Can engineering thinking make you a faster driver? And what should racing families really invest in if they want their young driver to succeed?

Dick and Sabrina sit down with Jordon Musser, a 4-time Rotax National Champion, 5-time SKUSA Shifter Kart Champion, and the engineering mind behind Musser Technical's innovative karting products. Featured ...
