Dirty Side Digest #9

Rob & Brian preview the Australian GP

On the Dirty Side this week…

There is only one thing to say this week….

IT’S RACE WEEK!!!!

Or, to carry the meme on…

IT’S RAWE CEEK

That meme will always bring back memories of having Nate Saunders from ESPN on the pod as we named that episode Nawe Teek and here is a shameless re-use of that graphic.

You may be able to tell that we are already giddy about the start of the season and if that wasn’t obvious then how about this random tweet from Brian showing us his shoes! Never change Sap!

Basically the season opener has sent us into a frenzy here on the Dirty Side of the Track so, if you haven’t already given it a listen, please go listen to our preview. Oh, and a like, subscribe, review, and telling all your friends about it is welcome too 🙏

News & Social in a nutshell

These are the main stories we covered this week but obviously you need to listen to the episode to hear what our thoughts were on them all

Ferrari have won a court case in Italy that blocks their former technical director Enrico Cardile from starting work at Aston Martin until 18 July

Cadillac gets formal approval for 2026 entry

Bernie Ecclestone sold his 69 strong car collection to Mark Mateschitz, son of the late Red Bull founder Dietrich

That wrapped a slow news week as teams must all be focusing on the season opener this week…..because ITS RACE WEEK!

Brian’s Video Vault

What’s in the vault this week?

  • COOKING PANCAKES WITH CARLOS SAINZ | PANCAKE DAY 2025. Atlassian Williams Racing channel. 8 mins. Loved this, but you kind of have to want it. BTW - won’t be first time in this vault a driver makes crepes…

  • Making Pancakes with Lando 🥞. McLaren channel. 4 mins. And again they make crepes. You know the secret to fluffy pancakes? No, really, do you know the secret to making fluffy pancakes? I don’t. Anyway, this was fun too.

  • Martin Brundle, Ted Kravitz & Naomi Schiff PREVIEW the new F1 season 🤩. Sky Sports F1. 19 mins. This was good. And I recommend it. But you have to want this one as well. It’s 3 separate segments pasted together with the same DtS preview in the middle of each segment. Regardless, was fun and got my juices going for the season.

  • How I prepare for an F1 season. Lando Norris channel. nearly 9 mins. This was good. Sorry for the double Lando, but good to see types of things they test and train upon.

  • F1 Drivers React To F1 Memes | Meme, Myself & I. BuzzFeedUK. 14 mins. YES. YES and YES. Enjoy.

  • Stanley Tucci Puts his Cards on the Table with Carlos Sainz, Tan France, and Melanie C. Rolling Stone channel. 25 mins. I FIND YOU THE BEST CONTENT. Grab a wine, snuggle up with your favorite bestie, and enjoy this. Fave video of the year so far - and then peruse the comments…

  • Alpine Deadpool parody. Just watch and enjoy. Thanks to Lee on Discord for highlighting it as we’d missed it.
