On this week's episode of the F1 Chatpod, we talk about Max Verstappen's illegal move on George Russell. One can draw a direct line from drivers like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher (and perhaps a younger Fernando Alonso) to Max . Win at all costs, never apologize, never admit wrongdoing, and complain loudly and consistently.

You see it in politics these days too, specifically strong men like Doug Ford in the orange emperor. You see it in European football. You don't see it in American football or Canadian hockey. You don't see it in UCI cycling. But in some sports, there are some real big babies.

We have fetished victimhood and weaponized blame. As usual the pendulum has swung from the stiff upper lip all the way to the perpetually triggered. And some of our heroes are the worst offenders.

This is our most unprofessional episode, especially at the beginning. Not because we have diverging opinions on the Monaco Grand Prix but mostly because Milkbags is so aggressive.

Join two comedians and old friends trying to remain friends while talking about Formula One. Milkbags in Vancouver is still practising comedy whereas JB and Toronto has given up and come back to school and is now pursuing a masters in psychology. Milkbags is a longtime fan of Formula One. JB is a Johnny-come-lately. Join these two men of a certain age as they navigate friendship, Formula One and feelings.

PS - The thumbnail is the Prince of Monaco's love child and first born with his mum who the Prince met on an airplane.

Is this the end of the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrar?

Is this the beginning for Colapinto or just another false start?

Does Max change diapers?

The F1 Chatpod is a Formula One podcast for people who want more than just statistics with their race cars. Here at F1 Chatpod headquarters we strive to give you the juicy goss, the unresearched facts and the baseless speculation.

Our bona fides are true, however. Milkbags and Vancouver brings decades of Formula One fandom experience and JB and Toronto is pursuing a masters in psychology. Between the two of them, they bring unique insight into the thoughts behind the decisions made in the world's fastest sport.

Really, this is a podcast about two friends meeting once a week to catch up. And to talk about F1.

And there's always something to talk about in F1 these days. Because much of it is barreling towards disaster.
