For the first time in 2,044 days, Kimi Raikkonen wins a GP, the longest gap ever between victories in F1. Praise be!

Dre, RJ and Ryan break down a dramatic GP, with Kimi’s first win in nearly 6 seasons, Sebastian Vettel spinning again, Max Verstappen coming from 18th to 2nd, and Lewis Hamilton trying and failing to win on “home” soil!

We also take a massive deep dive into the news, with Stoffel Vandoorne and Pascal Wehrlein securing new rides in Formula E, Checo staying with Force India, doubts over the future of SMP Racing and a preview for this weekend’s Super Formula finale! Enjoy!

An important one this, Dre and RJ step aside and Ryan King takes the lead chair for the first time as Ellie Jane from Formula Incident and Hazel Southwell from eRacing.net join the show for a specially extended discussion about “The ‘W’ Series” in Motorsport, a radical attempted new solution to get women higher up the motorsport ladder. There’s been strong discussion on both sides of the fence, and this could be some of the most nuanced discussion on the topic. Hope you enjoy!

And then Dre sat down and said: “Let there be crashes!”

The Church of Dre is in session, and Ryan King and RJ O’Connell are the subjects! Today’s hymn book: “The Ides of Suzuka”, as Sebastian Vettel’s slim title hopes slipped away via a ballsy failed move at Spoon on Max Verstappen. Oh and Lewis Hamilton won. Again.

We also talk the Bathurst 1000 too! Enjoy!

The team orders call heard around the world, and Lewis Hamilton is gifting the win that should wrap up both titles. Yay?

Ryan King, RJ O’Connell and Chris DeHarde come back with a full review of the Russian Grand Prix that was dominated by said team orders call, and another dodgy round for Ferrari, as well as Max Verstappen’s charge through the field.

We also talk the Charlotte NASCAR Roval playoff round, with one of the most shocking finishes ever, where Ryan Blaney inherited a banzai win after Kyle Larson and Jimmie Johnson hit each other at the final chicane!

Enjoy!

It was a weekend with screws being turned. Andre Harrison, Ryan King and RJ O’Connell (with Chris DeHarde for the IndyCar section), return with Episode 161!

In it, we review the Singapore Grand Prix. Ferrari goes missing, and Lewis Hamilton delivers another perfect weekend to put the title within reach, now 40 points clear with just 6 rounds left. We also review Sergio Perez going crazy with two hits on his teammate and on Sergei Sirotkin!

We also take a look at the IndyCar Grand Prix of Sonoma, with Ryan Hunter-Reay dominating the weekend leading 80 of 85 laps from pole, and Dixon following along in 2nd to win his 5th IndyCar title, just the 2nd man ever to get there. We also look at Alex Rossi, who lost a lap on the start, got it back, and then passed 17 cars to finish in 7th in a last ditch attempt to win the title.

All that and more on a “stacked” M101. Anyone for Pancakes?

And here is the 2nd part of our double taping, as we review IndyCar’s first race in Portland for 11 years, and it might have been the best race of the season!

Scott Dixon somehow survives a major opening lap wreck, a drive-through for speeding in the pitlane… and STILL finished in 5th. Also, yay! Takuma Sato came through and won on a caution reshuffle, ahead of Ryan Hunter-Reay and 2007 winner Sebastien Bourdais!

We also break down all the news, as Stoffel is out at McLaren, with Lando Norris in, Toto Wolff pushes again for 3 car teams, and IndyCar unveils their 2019 calendar, with the Circuit of the Americas joining in too! Enjoy!

Another race weekend, another punch in the gut for Dre. Ouch.

This was a weekend for the Finns as Dre, Ryan and RJ review a hectic Italian GP weekend, as Kimi Raikkonen clocked the fastest lap ever seen in F1… But then was unable to deal with the great wall of Valtteri Bottas as Lewis Hamilton picked him off for a sucker punch victory. Sebastian makes another Lap 1 error, but also came back to 4th as Max Verstappen made another driving error that led to a penalty.

Also, a Haas was disqualified, and the team looks kinda bush league.

We also review Formula 2 as Tadasuke Makino pulled off an exceptional win in the feature race from 14th on the grid, and George Russell and Lando Norris finally threw down, with Russell coming back to win the sprint race!

This is the first of a double header! Part 2 is out tomorrow as we review IndyCar in Portland and break down all the news!

Says a lot when the maddest part of the weekend happened on Thursday!

In Episode 157 of M101, Andre Harrison, Ryan King and Chris DeHarde break down a Belgian GP known for off-track politics just as much as on-track as Force India gets shut down and immediately brought back… For a 2nd row lockout, and a double Top 6 finish in their best result of the season. Oh, and Sebastian Vettel won. That’s about it.

We also review IndyCar at Gateway as Scott Dixon, Alex Rossi and Will Power went to war in Gateway, and we sponsored a lap! And it was awesome!

Enjoy!
