EP 52: Abu Dhabi Race Reflection - Max Passes Vettel, Yuki’s Farewell Gift to Tost, Mercedes Secures 2nd
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The season's final race weekend has concluded, witnessing a thrilling showdown among teams and drivers striving to solidify their positions in both the constructors' and drivers' standings. For Red Bull, the aim was to capitalize on their exceptional success this year, shattering nearly every record in F1 history.
Max Verstappen's unassailable victory in Abu Dhabi, marking his third consecutive win on this circuit, solidified his dominance. Despite Checo's remarkable ascent from P9 to P4 with an impressive pace, a five-second penalty denied him a podium finish. Red Bull's season tally of 21 wins out of 22 races showcased an unforeseen and unprecedented level of dominance.
The spotlight also shone on the constructors' battle between Ferrari and Mercedes, separated by a mere 4 points. Both teams showcased a split performance in qualifying, setting the stage for an engaging battle that unfolded throughout the race. Ultimately, Mercedes accumulated enough points to secure P2 in the constructors' championship.
In a poignant moment, Yuki Tsunoda aimed to bid farewell to Franz Tost with AlphaTauri's maximum achievable points. Earning the Driver of The Day accolade and delivering a stellar performance, Yuki demonstrated his ability to contend among the elite, finishing ahead of Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Ricciardo.
A special appreciation goes out to DP World and McLaren for their hospitality during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. We look forward to our future collaborations. To our devoted Track Limits community, your support throughout the F1 season has been invaluable. Although the F1 season has concluded, Season 1 continues with exciting guests, and we're thrilled to have you along for the journey.

EP 50: Las Vegas GP Race Reflection - Max's 53rd Win, F1 Politics Exposed, Best Race Of The Year?
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Mikey share their thoughts on the recently concluded Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The Las Vegas GP was poised to be the second-to-last race of the season and drew intense scrutiny for its smooth execution. Yet, the start of the race weekend encountered a few hitches, drawing substantial criticism toward the organizers and Liberty Media. Max Verstappen was notably vocal about the Grand Prix being more of a spectacle than a true race, a sentiment echoed by many, including fans.
However, the race itself surpassed all expectations. In fact, it might have stood out as the pinnacle of the season. The track buzzed with action, ensuring there wasn't a single lackluster moment throughout the event. Although hopes were high for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari to secure his first win of the season after an impressive qualifying, a twist unfolded with a safety car deployment and strategic tire changes for both Red Bull drivers. This allowed Max Verstappen to elegantly clinch a well-deserved victory.
The track's layout, often compared humorously to an upside-down pig, became a source of amusement in the paddock. However, for most drivers, it provided an exhilarating street circuit experience with ample opportunities for racing and overtaking. Notably, Ocon and Stroll delivered commendable performances, battling fiercely from the back of the grid to secure top 5 finishes.
Looking ahead, the final race of the season looms in Abu Dhabi. With just 4 points separating Mercedes and Ferrari in the constructors' championship, and a mere 12 points between the top 4 drivers, anticipation surges for a thrilling, action-packed finale. There's perhaps no better way to conclude the season than witnessing multiple drivers and teams locked in a fierce battle right up to the finish line.

EP 48: Brazil GP Race Reflection - Checo’s Resurgence, Aston Martin Show, Setback For Mercedes?!
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded Brazilian Grand Prix.
This marks the final sprint race weekend on the calendar, and it certainly lived up to the expectations. Red Bull showed they had learned from past mistakes, concentrating their efforts on a long-run plan during FP1. In contrast, Mercedes struggled to find the right car setup, battling issues ranging from high drag to tire degradation and overheating. It was a weekend Mercedes would rather put behind them, with disappointing results in the sprint race, a P8 finish for Lewis Hamilton, and a DNF for George Russell.
Following a challenging DNF in his home Grand Prix, Sergio Perez returned with a singular focus: to maximize the weekend and move closer to securing P2 in the drivers' championship. With a podium finish in the sprint race and a thrilling last-lap showdown with Fernando Alonso for P3, it appears that Perez has regained his confidence in the Red Bull car.
Is Charles Leclerc the unluckiest driver of the year? That's up for debate. His DNF during the formation lap sums up a year that hasn't gone as planned for both Charles and Ferrari. Meanwhile, Lando Norris delivered another impressive performance, moving from P6 to P2 with a strong start and excellent tire management. On the other hand, Oscar Piastri endured damage right from the race's outset and spent most of his time at the back of the grid.
Looking ahead, in just two weeks, we have one of the most highly anticipated races on the calendar: the Las Vegas Grand Prix. For many, this race, set under the vibrant lights of the Vegas Strip, is a cause for celebration. However, for some drivers, it's seen more as a show than a traditional race. The track layout will favour teams with strong straight-line speed, and outfits like Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull will strive to maximize their car's performance on this unique circuit.

EP 47: Mexico GP Race Reflection - Max Beats His Own Record, Lando’s Mega Drive, Ricciardo Is BACK!
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Mikey with special guest Victoria share their thoughts on the recently concluded Mexico Grand Prix.
Checo Perez's home race held great promise, but a series of tough races left him hungry for a strong finish. Qualifying showed his potential, yet his sole aim was a victory or a podium finish. With a spectacular start, he boldly went three-wide into the first corner, unfortunately colliding with Charles Leclerc, abruptly ending his race. A bitter disappointment for Perez, compounded by Lewis Hamilton closing in on the P2 spot in the driver championship.
Teams were well aware of the track's challenges, featuring 25% lower air density and reduced downforce, demanding precise timing and balance to prevent brake and tire overheating. Race strategy emphasized tire management and brake cooling to minimize pit stops and driver errors.
Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren executed impressive one-stop strategies (excluding the Red Flag), securing P2 for Hamilton, P3 for Leclerc, and a remarkable ascent from P17 to P5 by Lando Norris in the McLaren. Even AlphaTauri, the last-place team on the grid, showcased progress with Ricciardo finishing in P7.
The next stop: the final race of the triple-header, the Brazil Grand Prix. Last year saw Red Bull's struggles and George Russell's career-defining win. Will Red Bull repeat past mistakes, or can Max Verstappen secure victory once more?

EP 45: US GP Race Reflection - Max 50th Win, The Hannah Schmitz Show, Lewis' Opportunity to Win?!
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, Mikey and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded United States Grand Prix.
With yet another sprint race weekend, fans eagerly anticipated a display of teams striving to strike the right balance and formulate effective strategies despite their limited practice time. The race results authentically narrate the tale of some teams successfully fine-tuning their car setups while others fell short due to insufficient time. Notably, teams like Haas and Aston Martin introduced substantial upgrade packages but struggled to identify the optimal configurations for maximizing performance.
In contrast, outfits like Mercedes, who introduced a new floor upgrade, witnessed a tangible improvement in their performance during both the sprint shootout and the main race. During the race itself, Lewis Hamilton appeared poised for victory, but due to strategic missteps and pitstop blunders, Max Verstappen ultimately seized the win. This race presented perhaps the sternest challenge for Max, who grappled with a braking issue and significant tire degradation, all while fending off a late surge from Lewis Hamilton.
The underwhelming Sprint Race on Saturday sparked discussions about the necessity of either removing it or devising a new format to enhance the race's entertainment value. Conversely, the sprint race weekends offer fans additional trackside excitement and the prospect of surprises when top teams fail to hit the mark with their setups.
As we transition to the second race of the triple-header, the Mexico Grand Prix, one wonders whether the fervent home crowd support for Checo Perez will provide him with the necessary confidence and impetus to secure a podium finish. Alternatively, could McLaren spring a surprise with a formidable performance, benefitting from the favourable track conditions and temperature suited to their car?

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Mikey share their thoughts on the recently concluded Japanese Grand Prix.
Following a disappointing race in Singapore, the Red Bull team was determined to reclaim their status as the dominant force on the grid. Max Verstappen took it upon himself to send a clear message to everyone in the paddock and the spectators that Red Bull should not be underestimated. On the other hand, Checo Perez endured what we believe was one of the worst races in his career, plagued by damage, unnecessary penalties, and rookie overtaking errors.
Nevertheless, Max Verstappen single-handedly propelled Red Bull to the Constructors Championship with his P1 finish and has a chance to secure the Drivers Championship during the upcoming Sprint Race in Qatar. This performance underscores the gap between Max and Checo, raising questions about whether Red Bull will retain this duo in the upcoming season.

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, Swish, and Mikey share their thoughts on the recently concluded Singaporean Grand Prix.
The Red Bull dominance has officially ended, and we have ourselves a new winner, Carlos Sainz, in the 2023 season. There are a lot of speculations going on right now as to why Red Bull performed poorly all weekend long; was it the new TD regulations, the wrong setup, or track characteristics? Let's just say the Red Bull team will be scrambling to find a solution before the next race.
Carlos Sainz has become a new driver since the summer break. With back-to-back pole positions and now a race win, it can be said that he is the number one driver on the Ferrari team right now. Alongside Carlos was his best mate, Lando Norris, finishing in P2 (thanks to Carlos's brilliant move to keep Lando in the DRS).

EP 35: Italian GP Race Reflection: Max Makes History, Ferrari’s Spicy Battle, Hamilton Dirty Driving?!?
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Swish, joined by special guest Sakshi, share their thoughts on the recently concluded Italian Grand Prix.
The curse has been broken by no other than Max Verstappen, who also made an F1 record of 10 consecutive wins. Alongside Max, Checo also helped secure another record for the team as they crossed 15 straight wins.
Red Bull did not achieve the 1-2 podium easily this time around, as the Ferrari duo gave them a mighty challenge. Carlos Sainz achieved pole position on Saturday and gave it his all to hold off Max, but after 15 laps, Max was able to force an error on Sainz and never looked back. At the same time, Checo stormed from P5 to P2 by battling hard with both the Ferrari drivers.
Albon continues to shine as he drove brilliantly to hold off both McLarens and finish in P7. While the Mercedes duo both served 5-second penalties due to mistakes on track, they still managed to secure P5 & P6. Seeing Yuki ha…

For Max Verstappen, you can throw any obstacles at him, and he continues to have dominant wins. He tied Sebastian Vettlel's nine wins in a row this week and will be hunting for the record-breaking 10th win next week.
What looked like it would be a strong weekend for both McLaren and Mercedes was filled with strategic mistakes, wrong setups, and race incidents. Albon and the Williams team were a massive surprise to many, finishing P4 in qualifying and P8 in the race. Only time will tell on the growth Williams can have under the leadership of James Vowles.

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Mikey, Swish and Feven share their thoughts on the recently concluded Belgium Grand Prix.
We had another sprint weekend, and with rain forecasted throughout the weekend, teams were limited with their setup and had to gamble on the rain falling on Sunday. McLaren was one of those teams who loaded the car anticipating rain, and it bit them hard as they struggled to keep up the pace on the two long straights.
On the other hand, Max Verstappen starting in 6th but finding himself clear of the field by lap 20 is becoming the new normal, even though we should be amazed by his performance. It brings up the question of how Checo could not even battle Max in the race even though they have the same equal machinery.

McLaren did not mess around in their home race. They had a chrome livery and a new package that not only brought them back in the mid-field but almost on a double podium finish. William looked amazing throughout practice and qualifying and managed to secure P8 with Albon.
If you remove Max from the equation, the rest of the field is within four-tenths of each other. As Toto Wolff said, the regulations seem to be working in bringing the teams closer together in race pace. Only time will tell if Mercedes, Aston Martin, and Ferrari will bring massive packages to close the gap on Red Bull.

With the new sprint race format, we got a lot more racing and even more TRACK LIMITS penalties. Even after the race, more than five drivers received additional penalties due to Aston Martin's protest.
With race qualifying on Friday, we saw the two Ferrari drivers show their one-lap pace and finish very close to Max's pole lap. Checo, unfortunately, could not put anytime on the board due to track limits.
The Sprint shootout and race offered some entertaining moments, but Max was able to cruise to a dominant win, with Checo finishing in 2nd place and Carlos in 3rd place.

We discussed the paddock's division on how the FIA interpreted the rules and whether a safety car instead of a red flag would have saved many drivers from DNF. We would love to hear your thoughts on this on our socials below, and we look forward to seeing you all at the next race in Baku.

EP 05: Saudi Arabia GP Race Reflection | FIA Confusion, Red Bull Rocketship, McLaren Woes
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Swish, Feven, Mikey, and Henny share their thoughts on the recently concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Prix held in Jeddah. Despite the track's reputation for significant crashes and numerous safety cars, this year's race was one of the cleanest to date.
The Red Bull team clearly had a rocketship, with Max Verstappen's impressive performance going from P15 to P2, while Sergio Perez took a leisurely cruise to victory. Unfortunately, both Ferrari and McLaren seemed to disappoint this race weekend, but there's still a long season ahead, and we still have faith in their capabilities.
We discussed the FIA debacle and whether they are taking a more rigid stance on the rules this year. We would love to hear your thoughts on this on our socials below, and we look forward to seeing you all at the next race in Australia.
