If you’re the sort of person who likes an old school Motorsport101, this is the episode for you, a 2 hour-long deep dive into the 2023 Formula 1 Season, and a bonus segment into what happened the previous week in what we called Wolffghazi – As the FIA opened and very quickly closed a conflict of interest investigation against Susie and Toto Wolff as all 10 F1 teams distanced themselves from a governing body who took a story from a baseless sourced. Ugly.
Then we get into the season review itself, as we go in reverse and break down team by team. The battle for seventh comes first between a struggling Haas team, Alfa Romeo and the participation trophy role they became infamous for, Williams massive improvement and their fight with the mess that was AlphaTauri.
Then the midfield as Alpine was in no man’s land and a mess of a management structure fell on its head again, then the heated battle for second between Ferrari and their poor start, McLaren with one of the greatest comebacks of all-time, Aston Martin’s shockingly great start but mid-season collapse and Mercedes, who were “Luigi wins by doing nothing” team.
And of course, one more look at Red Bull and the greatest F1 season of all time. All that in a massive bumper edition of Motorsport101! (And yes, Dre discusses the elephant in the room.)
