Fast Ones
Hosted by Fast Ones Productions · EN
The Fast Ones is a weekly Formula 1 podcast for fans who want real insight without pretending this sport makes any sense.
We break down every race weekend — from strategy disasters and steward decisions to championship swings and teammate rivalries — all with a healthy mix of analysis, sarcasm, and occasional loss of composure.
Whether it’s Mercedes and Ferrari turning teammates into enemies, Max Verstappen quietly lurking in the title fight, or Haas somehow stealing the spotlight, nothing is off-limits and nobody is safe.
We’ll make predictions we fully intend to stand by (until we don’t), call out the nonsense when we see it, and occasionally wander off into motorsport tangents, IndyCar debates, and whatever else feels relevant in the moment.
If you love F1 but don’t need another robotic recap — welcome in.

Ep 132: 2026 F1 Season Kickoff: Liveries, Shakedown Buzz & Pre-Season Chaos
Feb 1001:04:15Tap to summarizeA new season is here, the cars are finally out in the wild, and the Fast Ones are officially back for 2026.In our season-opening episode, we break down the latest livery reveals, react to early shakedown footage, and talk about which teams might already have an edge before a single real lap has been turned. We’ll read the tea leaves, wildly speculate, and absolutely overreact to things we’re pretending aren’t indicators — because that’s pre-season tradition.Of course, it wouldn’t be Fast Ones without detours. We’ll hit the gossip circuit (yes, that Lewis and Kim Kardashian chatter), catch up on paddock buzz, and set the tone for what we’re watching as this new regulation era gets underway. It’s casual, it’s chaotic, and it’s the start of another long season of losing focus together.Welcome to 2026. Let’s do this.

Ep 131: 2025 F1 Season Awards & Full Recap (Yes, We’re Finally Doing It)
Dec 1601:13:34Tap to summarizeLast week was supposed to be the season recap… and then Abu Dhabi happened. So this week, we’re doing it for real.We’re finally handing out the 2025 Fast Ones Awards — Driver of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and all the other totally serious categories that may or may not devolve into arguing. We’ll zoom out on the full season now that the dust has settled, talk about Lando Norris’s championship run, the three-way title fight that went all the way to the final race, and why this ended up being a fitting send-off for the current regulations.On top of that, we’ll catch up on the latest news from around the F1 world, revisit moments we somehow skipped over during race-by-race chaos, and inevitably lose focus along the way. If you were waiting for the actual season recap — this is the one.Same Fast Ones energy. Just… delayed gratification.

Ep 130: 2025 F1 Season Review: Lando Norris WDC, Awards, & Our Favorite Chaos
Dec 901:12:06Tap to summarizeThe dust has settled, the fireworks are (mostly) done, and somehow we made it through the final year of this regulation set without spontaneously combusting — so it’s time for the full 2025 season wrap. Lando Norris is your World Champion, and we’re going to relive the absolute rollercoaster that got us there: our favorite moments of the year, the three-way title fight that went down to the last race, and why we’re forever grateful for a season that actually made us feel things on purpose.We’re handing out the Fast Ones end-of-year awards: Rookie of the Year, Driver of the Year, Surprise of the Year, and probably some categories we invent mid-stream because we lose focus like it’s our job. We’ll talk championship context, who over-performed, who quietly leveled up, and who needs to take a long walk and think about what they did (don’t worry, George — we remember).Then we zoom out: what has to change to replace Abu Dhabi as the finale (just give it back to Brazil already), and what we’re hoping for heading into 2026. Expect celebration, mild chaos, and a lot of detours on the road to a good laugh.

Ep 129: Qatar GP Chaos: Pirelli’s Lap Limit, McLaren Meltdown & Max in the Hunt
Dec 201:07:52Tap to summarizeWe’re back to break down the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix from lights-out sprint mayhem all the way to Sunday’s main event — and yes, we’re talking about the headline: Pirelli’s tire lap limit and the reasoning behind it. We dig into why the rule even existed, how teams tried to game it, and the pit-strategy elephant that stomped through the paddock all weekend.Max Verstappen stays right in the title fight because, of course he does. McLaren… well, “papaya rules” are looking more like papaya problems right now, and we unpack how that floundering weekend could change the championship math heading into Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile Carlos Sainz continues his world tour of being criminally underrated, Ferrari is already emotionally living in 2026, and Haas might’ve had a rough one — but somehow the American B-team is starting to look like the most stable Ferrari on the grid.Qatar gave us drama, confusion, and just enough chaos to keep the season spicy. Let’s talk about all of it.

Ep 128: Stewards After Dark: McLaren Double DSQ at Las Vegas GP
Nov 2501:14:29Tap to summarizeWe were in Vegas, so you know we had to bring receipts. In this episode, we recap the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix from the ground: what we did on race week, what the atmosphere felt like under the neon, and the random chaos you can only catch when you’re actually there.And then… we get into that race. Max Verstappen takes the win on the Strip, but the story of the night is the post-race plot twist: both McLarens disqualified after failing plank wear checks, nuking the results and sending the championship math into full panic mode.We break down what the double DSQ means for Oscar vs. Lando, how the stewards got there, and whether Vegas just became the moment the title fight cracked wide open. Plus: our favorite sights, sounds, and “how is this a real place?” Vegas weekend highlights — with the usual detours, roasting, and love for the madness that keeps this sport addictive.Like, subscribe, and bring a tire blanket… because this one’s a rollercoaster.
