053 - Lookin' Back in Front of Me! An Imola-Monaco, Recap-Preview.

May 22, 2024 • Midfield Media • Season 2 • Episode 13

Another awesome race in Imola! The boys break down all the action from Italy, discuss the results from the Driver Draft, and look ahead to Monaco. What a doozy! Strap that helmet on tight and let's go for a ride with this week's jam-packed episode!

0:00 - Intros/Crazy Italian names! Driver draft results! Doesn't matter how fast you say his name Patrick, Fernando didn't do you any favors. Sech fun! We start our breakdown of the happenings at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

6:09 - Red cars seemingly mediocre this weekend. Can the arguably best drivers on the grid get the car they need to stay competitive with McLaren? Patty gets a dinger! For a team that "brought a bunch of upgrades", we didn't see much.

11:15 - Such a smooth transition, Dan must be driving a McLaren. These guys are The Midfield's Hansel, they're so hot right now. These guys have something figured out, and it's name is Lando Norris. The car's right, the team's right, the drivers are right, I mean come on. Can these guys maintain their explosiveness and really take it to the top team as we approach the summer stretch? We can't wait to find out.

19:20 - Another quiet, mediocre weekend from both of the silver arrows. Tale of the tires, or what's between them. Seems pretty clear to us that these guys need a faster car. Tough to grab podiums from 6-7-8...

23:00 - Fernando and the no good, very bad weekend. A series of unfortunate events unfolded for our favorite foreigner. We say something nice! Can Patrick ACTUALLY say something nice this week? He's honestly trying, he promises.

28:00 - VCARB. YUKI. BOOM. What an awesome weekend from our young japanese driver. Dude was stomping all weekend long. Perhaps living right down the road makes a difference? Our P10 challenge hero keeps us on the top of the leaderboards, while Danny doesn't quite make the points. A good race from both drivers, and we look forward to what these guys can bring to the table in the near future.

37:30 - Another slippery transish from Daniel, he's really rolling this week! Haas hits the cutting room floor for dissection. Another fairly clear case of the car calling the shots. The Haas isn't impressing us a ton, but also not disappointing. A real good, not great scenario. Hey, it's better than what Alpine gets. Midfield moments of the week! Dan goes PMag, and Patrick continues on his theme of talking about teams he shouldn't talk about.

47:45 - Monaco preview! A street circuit that's decided on Saturday. Best qualifying session of year. Will we get a treasured safety car situation to shake up the strategies? While we always hope for the utmost driver safety, we love a good late-session slow down.

55:00 - Monaco Track Facts. It's on a whole, 'nother, level y'all. The oldest, and seemingly rowdiest grand prix of the season. Pull up your super-yacht and enjoy some BOLDies! Patty digs deep into the Kirkland Brand to scoop out his pick this weekend. Dan keeps it BOLD and orange. Loves his lil' Oscie! Who's big bets are going to pay off this weekend? It's anybody's guess.

1:05:00 - Drop yer sheckles and say goodbye! Thanks again for listening Midfielders,
