F1 Tech Wars and the "Profile in Courage" Award
The crew gets into the weeds of the F1 regulation changes, debating the new “power boost” strategy over the old DRS system. While drivers like Max Verstappen deal with technical “gremlins” like locking brakes, the fans are enjoying a record-setting 146 overtakes in Melbourne. The guys also offer a “public service announcement” for fans trying to find the Sky Sports broadcast on Apple TV to avoid the “dull” new announcing crew.
To wrap up, the podcast recognizes the investigative work of Pablo Torre, awarding him a hypothetical “Profile in Courage” for his deep dive into the business dealings of Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. The episode concludes with some “buzzer beaters,” including Jason Tatum’s remarkable return from an Achilles injury and the Raiders’ aggressive moves to bolster their defense in free agency.
