A clip from our episode: 2024 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Reaction: So What Does It Mean To Be An "F***ing Helmet"?

F1 really back itself into a corner in 2023 when it decided not to penalize Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz for breaching the maximum lap time at Monza (the Tifosi would have rioted after Leclerc took that shock pole, and no one wants that).

Kathryn doesn't know why this bothers her so much, but it does.
