The season finale has come and gone, and to no one's surprise, Max Verstappen pulls out win number 19 on the season. This wraps up an absolutely astonishing year for Red Bull and their dominance on the 2023 season will be talked about for ages.

The inagural Vegas GP is in the books, and wow! Amidst all the negativity, problems in FP1, parading celebrities around that have no clue about F1...the racing was absolutely fantastic!

Red Bull takes another 1-2 finish, Mercedes almost bounces Lewis out the car, and Ferrari leaves with a double DNF. Ferrari powertrains is suffering some major reliability issues. While Alpine brings a rocket ship to the streets of Baku.

Let's take a look at the upcoming Azerbaijan GP in Baku. Sergio Perez has established himself as a contender in the driver championship, Daniel Ricciardo desperately needs a solid weekend in hopes to hold his seat in McLaren, Ferrari looks to make up for mistakes from Monaco, and which version of Mercedes will we see? 

What a weekend! Ferrari looked to have it in the bag until the weather and strategy changes threw a wrench in the works for them. Red Bull capitalized and Perez secured his first victory of the year. The new race director changes made this year showed in force how we are still not past the many issues that plagued last year.

Red Bull pulls out a 1-2 finish, capitalizing on Charles Leclerc's misfortune with a retirement on lap 27. Mercedes seems to have figured some things out and are showing much more pace. And Aston Martin is again in the spotlight for having a car very similar looking to another front running team.

Another win for Max Verstappen, and a double podium for Ferrari at the inaugural Miami Grand Prix. 

First sprint race weekend of the year. Some difficulties for teams navigating the weather changes, with a 1-2 finish for Red Bull to re-establish themselves in the fight this year in a very strong way.

Charles Leclerc claims his second win of the season. Red Bull continues to be plagued with mechanical difficulties, and McLaren steps their game up and makes huge strides with their pace. 

Missile strikes in close proximity, a big crash for Mick Schumacher, Sergio Perez gets his first pole, more excitement between Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, there is lots to talk about! We'll run down each of the teams performance, and then look ahead to F1's return to the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, Australia!

What a race! We'll cover the grid, front to back. Some things came through as expected, and some things we had expected got flipped in a way that no one saw coming. Car performance, new tires at race pace, and a couple brotherly disagreements to enjoy.

It's finally here! The 2022 season kicks off this weekend with race number 1 at Bahrain. The second testing is done, and there have definitely been some changes to how things appeared after Barcelona. We'll talk Bahrain testing, some current events in the F1 world, a bit of history, and to top it off...Bahrain GP predictions!

Post car reveals and Barcelona testing completed. Thoughts of what we've seen thus far, along with some other F1/FIA news & discussion, to include changes of race director, and the Haas/Mazepin situation.

We'll wrap up the season recap with McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and get into the season finale at Abu Dhabi.
