Episode #15: Return Of The Kings
Jan 23, 2016, 06:51 PM
Welcome back to Motorsport 101, dear listeners! In this absolutely stacked episode, me and the returning Ryan King (See what I did there?), we take a look back at the insane Triple Header of Motorsport we had at the weekend.
First up, the Malaysian Grand Prix in Formula 1, Sebastian Vettel’s 40th win and his first for Ferrari, we’ll be looking at how Mercedes got it wrong, Kimi Raikkonen’s comeback, Williams mediocrity, Force India’s scalps, McLaren and Manor at the back, as well as the Toro Rosso’s beating the factory Red Bull team, and Max Verstappen becoming F1’s youngest ever scorer.
Then, MotoGP in Qatar, and Valentino Rossi’s continued GOD-like tendency of winning at the tender age of 36. Also, the resurgence of the Ducati’s as they scored their first double podium in nearly 5 years, Andrea Dovizioso pushing Rossi to the limits, and Iannone’s first podium. Also, Lorenzo’s collapsing helmet, Marquez’s mistake, and why Dani Pedrosa’s career hangs in the balance due to his arm pump problem.
I also lost my IndyCar virginity! We’ll be talking about the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, all the broken endplates and why a fan had to be hospitalized for one, and Penske curb-stomping the opposition as the super-team of four finished 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th, Montoya taking his 17th IndyCar win.
And finally, a look at Bernie’s comments regarding a female F1 series and why it causes more problems than it solves, and why we should really stop looking at Susie Wolff like she’s the gospel leader of women in Motorsport like many see her as, and realize she’s actually being very shrewd.
So, I really hope you enjoy what I think is, is our best and most robust Podcast to date. Enjoy!
