It’s Officially F1 Silly Season!

Zoe & Hannah
About this episode

On this week’s episode, Zoe and Hannah are breaking down everything currently happening in F1. They first discuss Danny Ric’s first week back at Alpha Tauri, all the F1 drivers who went to Wimbledon, and why tyre blankets really are so important. Hannah asks Zoe to assign F1 drivers to “Succession” characters and Zoe asks Hannah which drivers shouldn’t want to bring on vacation. Then, later in the episode, the girls are joined by their friend Lizzy (aka @pitlanelizzy) to discuss all things F1 silly season. Is Lando really going to Ferrari? Does Mercedes want Charles? Will Lewis actually renew his contract?
