With a rare week between races, it's a good time to take stock of what's been going on this season and who better to do it with than VritualStatMan himself Sean Kelly.This week on the pod, Sean joins us from StatHQ and as always he's got an absolute mountain of facts, stories and plenty of anecdotes from the F1 paddock and beyond. Including getting told where to go by Guenther Steiner, Adrian Sutil's fashion sense, Jenson Button's credit card and tons more!There's all the usual tangents as well and what would a show with Sean on be without a quiz, so we've got an Is That Glock that we've been holding in reserve fot ages, just for him!And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with. And on the socials we’ve got our Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky & Twitter (or is it X) and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel.

Episode 380 - Painting Outside The Lines
Track limits, leaving the track and gaining an advantage, causing a collision, not leaving space at apexes, marshals on track with cars at full speed, contentious VSC on the penultimate lap, maybe at some point we'll get some racing in? The Mexican Grand Prix this year wasn't the best day for F1 race direction and the ever rotating cast of stewards. Amongst all the controversy we still got one of the best races of the season with battles going on all the way down the grid, even Lance Stroll managed to get a clean overtake in (if that doesn't say it's the end of days, I don't know what does.) And through all that, the 3 way battle for the championship is still going on and going down to the wire.This week on the podcast we look back at the Mexican Grand Prix where Lando Norris managed to re-take the lead in the Word Driver's Championship for the first time since before the Suadi Arabian GP, after a very off the boil start to the weekend for team-mate and rival Oscar Piastri. But you can't forget the looming shadow of Max Vertappen, who is still up there too.As always there's some attempts at predictions for how the rest of the season is going to pan out as we've still got 4 races and 2 sprints to go and it's really anyone's guess as to who is going to walk away with the 2025 crown. Doesn't stop us having a go though!Also, sorry for missing last week after the US GP, but we were victims of the Amazon outage last Monday and it took until Wednesday to get things recovered properlyAnd if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Episode 379 - Is 2025 The New 2007?
So Singapore then? Yes we got to see George Russell on the top step with a seemingly resurgent Max Verstappen taking 2nd, which only leaves 1 step on the podium for McLaren and this time round it was Lando Norris, but it was in a way that didn't exactly please Oscar and the other side of the garage.Congratulations to McLaren on clinching their 2nd consecutive World Constructor's Championship, but now the hard work really starts for them. They've got 2 drivers in contention for the driver's crown, but it seems like things aren't exactly cordial right now. After Forcing Oscar to let Lando past after a fudged pit stop in Monza and now not letting him by after the usual Sinagpore GP lap 1 "3 into 1 doesn't go" first corner. Do we get the impression that Oscar is now driving for Oscar, due to the team having got their spot at the top?We try and make sense of what's coming for the rest of the 2025 season as well as a stack of our usual going off on tangents (there's more in the Patreon show if that's your kind of thing). Along with our usual team by team lookback at the race and some of the best radio we've heard from Fernando Alonso since the last time he let the pitwall know his thoughts!And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Episode 378 - Falonso Is Faster Than You
There's always something special about the Italian Grand Prix. It's a combination of the out and out speed of the circuit, the stands full of the Tifosi , even when Ferrari aren't on top form and of course a National Anthem before the race that it's impossible to sing without sounding like you 100% mean every word of it. And this week, we got the full package!This week we look back at the Monza race where Max Verstappen proved that RedBull can still make a car that can destroy the rest of the grid on pure pace alone and McLaren proved that they are human after all by making mistakes and then fudging their solution to them when they crop up! Big announcement form us this week as well as we launch our new merch store, thanks to the wonderful people (especially Larisa) from Dashery. We've already got a few new designs up and it's not just t-shirts, there's mugs, stickers and even cushons with more designs to follow. Check it out at https://3legs4wheels.dashery.com/Aside from that there's the usual ton of tangents and occasional missed jokes (Paul).
