Our Editor's Take
Fast & Loose F1® promises to be like no other racing podcast. It combines comedy with commentary and follows each Formula 1 race and all the drama. The host is actor and comedian Will Arnett. Fans may know him as G.O.B. Bluth on the Emmy-winning series Arrested Development. Although Arnett likes to think he is now an authority on racing, he still surrounds himself with Formula 1 experts. The podcast team includes racing legend Mika Häkkinen and sports reporters Michelle Beadle and Katie Osborne. Entertainer and comedian The Kid Mero completes the group.
Every race week, the Fast & Loose F1® team gets together to discuss the details of each race. Which F1 driver made a newsworthy comeback? Who do they rate as the driver of the race? And how did the winner claim their victory? The team explores pre-race expectations and how each of the drivers performed. They analyze driving strategies and any unfortunate yet inevitable crashes. Häkkinen adds a layer of extra education with a regular F101 segment. He examines questions and commentary from listeners, bringing the whole racing community together.
Highlight podcast episodes include George Russell's first Grand Prix win in São Paulo. They discuss it as a long overdue victory and note Russell's emotions when he won. Another exciting episode follows the Honda Japanese Grand Prix. The surprise outcome came when Max Verstappen won the title of F1 World Champion for 2022. It was a race the team wished had been even longer as it was such an exciting event.
Each Fast & Loose F1® episode has pre- and post-race analysis. The team talks about the race conditions and how poor weather impacts the drivers. Häkkinen offers insights from his career. He knows the tracks, the level of risk involved, and what it means to each driver, wherever they rank. Meanwhile, Arnett adds commentary and asks questions as an avid fan of the sport. It's an informative and entertaining podcast that F1 fans will love.
