4 Race Recap

Formula University (FU)

Without further ado, we get into the last 4 races that we missed: Miami, Spain (Barcelona), Monaco, and Baku. Each race got more exciting than the last and we definitely had to do our homework to keep track of each exciting moment. Miami was exciting because it brought, for better or worse, more US Americans into the scene, but the race was not much else beyond that. Still, we have to talk about why this is important from a race and F1 historical point of view! Spain was definitely more exciting, lots of drama from running off track to wheel-to-wheel battles between Verstappen and Russell. It was some of the first action we've seen between these two drivers in F1 but probably won't be the last. Excellent action here for both the new and old fans.
Moving on to Monaco, the historic yet reserved city circuit definitely pushed teams and drivers to their limits this year. From tire strategy to driver performance, we saw two major accomplishments: a win from Checo Perez and Charles Leclerc completing his first race at home in Monaco in F1. Monaco has come under some criticism for its somewhat underwhelming contribution to the race calendar, but we definitely love it and we'll tell you why every fan should.
Closing with Baku, Mike offers a controversial and signature hot take in only a way that he can. This exciting follow-up to Monaco has a place in our hearts for being an exciting race, and was a major factor in last year's dramatic conclusion. This race has started to show the true colors of Red Bull, but what does it say about Ferrari and Mercedes. What about those midfield and at-risk drivers at the back? We'll have to wait and see, but we've got predictions and some insight.
As always we cover major ground in capitalism, sport economics, politics and society as we breakdown F1 strategy for our fans around the globe. This is a longer episode but there's a lot to enjoy as we recap the last 4 races. Take a nap in the middle of class, and join us once again at Formula University for our sophomoric coverage.
