DRS Open Podcast

A guy and a girl who support Red Bull and Ferrari, talking Formula 1 whilst trying not to kill each other. Banter strongly encouraged

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

First race of the season, first pod. We chatted about the Australian GP.

-Hamilton, Ferrari & Adami
- Rookies
- Piastri under pressure
- Toto Wolff’s project kids and why Merc are the ex who gaslit your

Footballer Neymar also caught some strays

That was quite the season. Absolute rollercoaster, and the end of so many chapters in this great sport, but perhaps also the birth of new ones.

Enjoy the holidays boys and girls!

[Will Buxton @wbuxtonofficial]

Lando Norris - a racer who, in embracing his vulnerability, has found by far his greatest strength. He never shied away from his struggles, has been honest and open about his fragility, yet fought and found the resolve to achieve his greatest dream. A champion and an inspiration.

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

So so well deserved, @LandoNorris . Brilliant man

[TS𝕌ℕ𝕆DA²² 宇野 @UNOversalF1]

Today, we day goodbye to Sauber, Renault engines, the DRS button, Yuki Tsunoda, ground effect, and having just 20 drivers on the grid. Big changes coming. Enjoy this race. It is the end of an era.

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Have 3 mates in Abu Dhabi today, none of them with skin in the game re:title fight but all have called/texted to say how electric it is.

The nature of formula 1 means we don’t get days like this often, enjoy boys and girls. It’ll be hella tense

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Lots to complain about with FOM/Liberty Media but bemoaning them hyping up a 3 way title shootout where the drivers are top 3 in the grid is not the one we cannot be that miserable guys 😂

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Verstappen M-H, Tsunoda H-M to try cause some chaos

[Holiness @F1BigData]

Tyres available for today

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Would be interesting to see if Verstappen backs the field up into Piastri and Norris but I just don’t think it’s possible in th same way as Hamilton did to Rosberg in 2016 because of the layout.

It’s not impossible to overtake in Abu Dhabi now.

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Rear tyre deg a major limitation here. That’s where McLaren are obliterating the field

[Aldas🇱🇹 @Aldas001]

Hamilton was 0.150s behind Piastri with only the last sector to go, that final sector must have been horrific to be knocked out

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Pole sitter might have to go purple yellow purple.. tyres are screaming by sector 3

[🇯🇲1ntern🇯🇲 @Unpaid1ntern]

Piastri low df setup uno he absolutely going for pole

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

That first Verstappen run looked like it was wide out of the last corner.

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

Deary me

[Holiness @F1BigData]

🚨DOMENICALI CONFIRMS MORE THAN 6 SPRINTS

Sky Sports asked directly about the possible expansion of the number of Sprints, Domenicali replied without hesitation.
"Yes, there will certainly be more than six Sprints in the future."

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

My concern for the lad ironically is that it’ll be the opposite. See Perez 2022, Albon as the most recent examples

[nini @SCUDERIAFEMBOY]

isack hadjar: “my first goal is to accept that i’m going to be slower than him in the first few months”

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

@ASTHA__21 She’s absolutely had enough 😂😂😂

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

This is ridiculous. Throw that Ferrari in the bin

[Daniel Valente 🏎️ @F1GuyDan]

For the final time in 2025, here are the FP2 long runs 🇦🇪

Seems like Lando Norris up front with Max Verstappen close behind (was on a longer stint).

No one else seems like they have the pace of those two so far.

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

@Rux_Tailor For me, yes. But I have no time for sentiment maybe that’s why I support Red Bull 😭

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

There is no world in which Piastri refuses team orders to let Lando win the championship by the way.

That would blow up the whole team and he could lose his seat over it, come on okes

[DRS Open Podcast @DRSOpenPod]

@ASTHA__21 CRYING 😭😭😭
