About this episode

Journalist, author, podcaster, motorsport expert, and friend of the pod, Elizabeth Blackstock joins us to rank the drivers after the 2023 F1 season. And no, it's not just letter grades, we're giving actual, scientific numbers. We also cover Nyck de Vries' flop season, why we're backing Williams in 2024, who we're dubbing "MID MEN," Valtteri Bottas' tush, the rookies that can take the fight to Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen's controversial score!
