Do you know Carlos Sainz? We do! It's our early F1 the Movie review. Join Patrick and Brian on the Hard Compound this week and you'll get both our review of F1 the Movie plus our race coverage for the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.

• F1 gets the Hollywood treatment. Is that a good thing?
• What F1 the Movie got right and where they missed.
• No race for old men? In Austria, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Nico Hulkenberg all shine.
• But what an awful showing for Red Bull at their home Grand Prix.
• But, wait. There's more. Liam Lawson makes our top 5! Meanwhile, Yuki Tsunoda continues to flounder.
• Finally, a shout out (again) to F1 Kids. They do such a great job.

Our debt of gratitude to Claire Williams, to Gunther Steiner, to Montreal. And our frustration with Lando Norris, who may have cost himself a championship despite having the best car. Join Brian and Patrick on the Hard Compound for our post-Canadian Grand Prix analysis.

• Why Toto Wolff is smiling.
• Why Yuki Tsunoda and Lance Stroll may not return to F1 in 2026. And why a similar fate awaits Fred Vasseur, who's time leading Ferrari is looking more tenuous by the week.
• High praise for the McLaren team, and for the old timers, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg, especially.
• F1's persistent anti-American bias, even as they get more money from America.
• Revising our idea for a F1 Senior's Tour.

A petulant Max Verstappen takes himself and Red Bull out of the fight. GOAT? While Oscar Piastri builds his championship lead over McLaren teammate, Lando Norris. Join Patrick and Brian on the Hard Compound for complete analysis of the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.

• Max Verstappen proves he's no Michael Jordan. More like Tiger Woods after his fall from grace.
• Is F1 now too American? We discuss.
• Red Bull's second seat is like wearing the red jersey in Star Trek. Is it the end of the line for Yuki Tsunoda?
• Points for Alonso! And Hulkenberg! What a year.
• All that, plus our crazy predictions for Montreal. Including one involving Taylor Swift and Martin Brundle. Give a listen and subscribe.
