On the Dirty Side this week…
Well it was the end of the trilogy as three back to back races rounded out with the Saudi Arabian GP.
It was a good if not spectacular race with plenty of talking points for us on the pod.
Rumor has it that people are still printing pictures, pausing video, reviewing telemetry, and possibly exploring quantum physics to decide whose corner it was between Oscar and Max.
Somethings can be over examined and ultimately only ever back up what everyone felt by viewing it live with, well, their eyes.
Anyway, to find out what we thought of it all then here is this weeks musings from the two of us.
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
Schumacher’s signature was part of a special helmet being worn by Jackie Stewart as he did a lap of Bahrain in his old Tyrell. All part of raising money for his charity, Race against dementia
Max is getting very sensitive to questions about his RB future and he told Crofty on media day to focus on his commentary while he will focus on his driving
Andrew Benson of the BBC speculated that Max may even take a sabbatical in 2026 then pick which team to drive for in 2027 based on who has nailed the regs the best
Imola may be facing the axe as Stefano Domenicali said it might be hard to keep two races in Italy

In the marbles
Diving into the marbles that make up the dirty side of the track is where you’ll find some subscriber only content!
While surfing the web this week, this video popped up on the feed. Its the music video for the song “The Pit” by the fictional group Mouse Rat that starred in the show Parks and Recreation.
The song was the inspiration behind a frantic scribbling of lyrics by Rob then a WhatsApp message to friend of the show Andy who has done so much music for us over the years.
We wanted to find someway of saying thanks to Pitlane Paul so we trawled his social media accounts for some of our fav pictures and laid out a musical tribute to his pitlane adventures - just take a look at some of those faces and remember these are just a fraction of the people he’s met along the way!
It was apparently recorded in a car park at an airport where Andy was dropping off the singer he knew. He declined any payment and instead asked that he record these vocals!! Love how our random thoughts for this pod have ripple effects like this.
Anyway, never need a reason to play this song again so here you go…
Would appreciate if you can subscribe, rate, and leave us a review and maybe even tell your friends about us!
