054 - King of Monaco

The Midfield Pod

Welcome back Midfielders! Whew! What. A. Saturday. A pinch- a dash of action, early in the race Sunday and then a total snooze-fest. But we're not gonna complain about that! Buckle in as we tackle all the action from the Monaco Grand Prix.
1:46 - Red cars go fast in Monaco. Not a team we usually praise for strategy, but it really seemed like everyone was pulling on the rope in the same direction last weekend. Good job Charles. Good job (luck) Carlos. Good job Tifosi.
5:40 - Dan is sliding around these transitions as smooth as Oscar smoothed his way around Monaco. McLaren's got yet ANOTHER high energy, high pace grand prix under their belts, and it's got our feathers ruffled. The speculation machines start burning up when the top team doesn't crack the top 5!
10:20 - Seriously! Almost got the silver arrows past me! Slippery ol' Dan. But really, Dan's transition's are smoother and more interesting than anything Mercedes last weekend. Was it a smile of complacency on Toto's face this weekend? Are the Benz Bois a REAL midfield team? Should we tell the president the sky is falling? We're as confused as Lewis and the garage and everyone at Mercedes.
19:00 - Our favorite forest green midfielders. Have we entered Fernando's mid-season slump? Sure seem's so. We say some nice things, and offer our boy Alonso a towel. I'd be sweating, being number two to Lance as well...
23:12 - Finally I catch a break, a real transition, one worthy of our sweet SFX. VCARB. Probably our favorite team at the moment. Yuki is crushing the midfield, while Danny keeps it on the track. Can't ask much more from the Energy Drink's younger brother. As always, when the No.2 driver doesn't perform and Yuki does, we start speculating.
27:33 - Let's talk about Haas baby, let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about all the bad things and penalties PMag will bring. Our resident bad boys are at it again, spinkling pieces and parts all over the tarmac like Salt 'N Pepa. Gene's not happy..
32:00 - Redemption time! We un-crust an uncrustable and dust off our English friends over at Williams. Albon scores some points and Patrick's not impressed. Are things looking up, or is Patrick right, and will we expect to see more of the same mundane season Vowle's has had so far.
36:35 - Not learning any lessons in Miami, the frenchies try going side by side through Monaco. Spoiler alert, it didn't end well. With Ocon rolling over Pierre's tire, trashing his car, and racking up a 5 place grid penalty for the next race, it's really hard to notice Gasly's greasy lil' point. What is a drastic French measure?
48:42 - We close things down, Patrick gives a city shout-out to one of our listeners, and we shamelessly plug our socials. Be sure to follow us on them! Links below! See you next week.
