SHW F1 Podcast

Happy holidays from SHW - here is our official season recap for 2025. We go back to the bets we made during preseason testing and see who got it right with drivers and constructors. We also share some opinions on who impressed us and who disappointed us in 2025. We hand out our rookie "Dude of the Year" award, and we also spend a little time discussing the death of DRS and looking forward to changes in 2026.

Lots to discuss this week with your under-informed American buddies. The Abu Dhabi GP had us bid farewell to this season and crown a new champion. We also crown our SHW champion from our season-long top 5 / bottom 5 picks. Strategy highs and lows, questionable driving (by some), and our 15 second race reviews will captivate you. We "hope" you enjoy the advertisement from our new sponsor, too.

What an annoying race weekend. Mandatory stint lengths, strategy blunders, and crappy racing. We unpack it all in our discussion of the penultimate race this F1 season. It's time for Abu Dhabi and the Driver's Championship is still up for grabs. We discuss it all and make our own top 5 / bottom 5 picks.

What an amazing treat we get this holiday season as the final two races will ultimately decide the driver's championship. After the McLaren double-DSQ, there is only 24 points separating 1st and 3rd. Kimi inherited a podium after qualifying 17th, Lewis fought hard for his points, but Aston Martin are looking like they might plummet to 8th or 9th in the constructors at this rate. The struggle to record a podcast in a hotel lobby with spotty internet access is a very real thing for Tom. It's a comedy of errors and misfires, but it's still a fun 26 minutes with your under-informed American buddies talking about F1.

Poor Gabriel Bortoleto had a rough weekend, Max Verstappen is an otherworldly talent and we should all feel lucky to be experiencing his greatness, Lando Norris took a huge step forward towards securing the driver's championship, 15-second race reviews, and Ferrari kinda sucks but is also unlucky. Can you believe YouTube TV and Disney/ESPN still haven't figured out their contract? It's a fun 38 minutes with your under-informed American buddies talking about F1.

It's Bortoleto's, (somewhat) Colapinto's, and (marginally) Hamilton's home race this weekend. We make some predictions about how the top 3 will finish in the driver's championship as well as who we think will finish 6th in the constructors from a tightly packed group of teams. Looking forward to the sprint weekend in Sao Paulo, we make our top 5 / bottom 5 and 3-pointer picks. It's a fun 32 minutes with us today, so sit back and enjoy the stupidity of your under-informed American buddies talking about F1.

Lando Norris made easy work of the whole weekend and now leads the World Drivers' Championship over teammate Oscar Piastri. The title fight is heating up because Max Verstappen doesn't seem to be going away either. 15-second race reviews, lots of incidents, investigations, lawnmowing, and penalty talk. The best non-title-fight constructors battles we've had in decades, plus a rookie dudie award. Join us for 40 minutes with your under-informed American buddies.

Another McLaren 1-2, but lots of other things to discuss from the race on Sunday.

We decided to record some bonus non-F1 content. We all watched Happy Gilmore 2 over the weekend and for your listening pleasure, our recap and reactions to the sequel.
