I know you didn't ask for a 2017 Formula 1 season review podcast but like a dolt, I offered one before the holidays and with all the name changing, shenanigans and goings on, this is the first chance we've had to do one...reluctantly. We review each team and driver and I rank the teams and Paul ranks the drivers...and corrects me on my team rankings because they are daft. We hope you enjoy re-visiting the 2017 F1 season and we offer our sincere apologies for this outrageously long podcast that should be banned for its egregious length and silly impact it may have on your active lifestyle.

Join Paul and the awesome Pietro Fittipaldi. As the grandson of 2-time Formula 1 champion, Emerson Fittipaldi, Pietro knows what he's doing behind the wheel. With Christian Fittipaldi as an uncle and Max Papis as an uncle, you can bet that racing is Pietro's life. Even his brother, Enzo, is in racing.Pietro was part of the Ferrari driving academy and is leading the Formula V8 3.5 series with one race to go. He recently raced at COTA in Austin so who better to give you a real hot lap around the Circuit of the Americas?As a side note, the very first toy car I can remember getting was a Lotus 72 with Pietro's grandfather at the wheel. It was a Corgi and I still have it. ;)

Join Grace and me as we get ready for the United States Grand Prix in Austin Texas at the Circuit of the Americas.

Hitting a drive off of turn 1 at COTA would be awesome so I called Jeehae to talk about the event, what is involved and get all the details. As Formula 1 expands its fan activities over a race weekend, I thought it was very cool that they blend other sports an interests into the race weekend. Check out Topgolf Crush and get your tickets right here.
