EP 133 - Baku

Tom and Karl are back for the United States Grand Prix, bringing you their unique brand of chaotic commentary from the land where everything’s bigger — including the egos, the portion sizes, and the track limits.In true Austin fashion, the weekend had it all: cowboy hats, confused strategy calls, and more deleted laps than Karl has brain cells left after the afterparty. The lads hand out their Driver of the Day awards (expect at least one based on vibes alone) and, of course, crown the Dick of the Day, because someone always deserves to wear the Stetson of shame.It’s the usual mix of banter over brains, with more tangents than turns at COTA and enough off-topic chatter to make Crofty short-circuit. Was the race good? Who cares — the podcast definitely isn’t.If you want proper F1 insight, go listen to Grid Talk. But if you prefer bad jokes, bad takes, and two Brits doing bad American accents, you’re in the right paddock.Catch Tom and Karl pretending to know what they’re doing on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk across all socials.Check out f1chronicle.com for real journalism, and hit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk for all things Grid Talk.Find The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn, and Breaker — or just scream “YEEHAW!” into a microphone and we’ll appear with terrible opinions and even worse accents.

Tom and Karl tackle the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, a race that once again proved the streets of Baku are as brutal as Karl’s hangovers and as unpredictable as Tom’s WiFi. Safety cars, carbon fibre confetti, and more crashes than a Windows 95 PC – and somehow, it still wasn’t the weirdest weekend they’ve covered.The lads hand out their Driver of the Day awards (one probably makes sense, the other probably doesn’t) and crown the inevitable Dick of the Day – because on the streets of Baku, someone always earns it.Expect wild tangents, bold-but-terrible predictions, and more questionable takes than a Red Bull PR statement. As usual, it’s less “analysis” and more “two blokes in verbal bumper cars.”If you actually want serious F1 coverage, go listen to Grid Talk. But if you’re here for bad jokes, chaos, and laughter echoing down the long Baku straight, you’ve found your pit stop.Catch Tom and Karl attempting professionalism on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk across all socials.For real journalism, head to f1chronicle.com, and for the full Grid Talk fix, hit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk.You can find The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn, Breaker — or just shout “STROLL INTO THE WALL” three times and we’ll appear.

Brace yourself for some soggy shenanigans – The Monkey Seat is back, broadcasting straight from the metaphorical pit lane of poor life choices!This week, Tom and Karl tackle the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, where the weather is as unpredictable as Karl’s connection to reality, and the race strategies made about as much sense as Tom’s fantasy team. Was it wet? Was it dry? Was it worth staying awake for? Who knows – but the boys have opinions on it, and they definitely don't line up!They’re slinging out their Driver of the Day awards with all the grace of a Sauber pit stop on a budget airline, and someone definitely gets slapped with the Dick of the Day title – a time-honoured tradition that’s just as prestigious as it sounds (which is to say… not at all).Expect off-topic tangents, and an accidental deep dive into Spa’s many mishaps – both literal and metaphorical. As always, it’s less "analytical insight" and more "two guys bickering in surround sound."Looking for actual F1 journalism? Head over to Grid Talk. But if you want bad predictions, bold opinions, and banter with more corners than a Carsten Tilke street track, you’re in the right place.For the “slightly more serious” versions of these two, catch them on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk on all your favourite socials.Check out f1chronicle.com for motorsport articles written by people who use punctuation, and hit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk for the full Grid Talk experience.Find The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn, Breaker — or just scream into the Ardennes mist and we’ll find you.

Strap in and crack open a lukewarm can of supermarket own-brand cola, because The Monkey Seat is back — just in time for the British Grand Prix!Tom and Karl return to their mics (and questionable opinions) after accidentally ghosting the Austrian Grand Prix. Was it scheduling? Was it laziness? Was it because Karl got lost in a multi-storey car park? We may never know. But they’re back now, and ready to pretend they never left.In this episode, the lads dive into all the Silverstone shenanigans — home heroes, hydraulic heartbreaks, and more Union Jacks than a Coronation street party. They hand out their now-famous Driver of the Day awards (no one agrees, as usual), and crown the ultimate Dick of the Day – a prestigious honour for the biggest muppet on the grid. Or possibly in the commentary box.It’s banter over breakdowns, nonsense over nuance, and the kind of chaotic race recap that makes Sky F1’s coverage look like a TED Talk. Live reactions, fan interactions, and more detours than a British road trip – if it’s serious F1 you’re after, Grid Talk exists. If you want vibes and very little journalistic integrity, you’ve found the right pit lane.Catch the guys trying to act professional over on Grid Talk @gridtalkuk across all socials.For actual motorsport coverage, head to f1chronicle.com, and for more slightly better-prepared F1 chat, visit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk.Listen to The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn, Breaker… or just yell into a traffic cone and hope for the best.

Buckle up for another sun-soaked siesta of chaos on The Monkey Seat with Tom and Karl – the dynamic duo who still know absolutely nothing about F1 strategy, but plenty about winding each other up.This time, they’re fresh off the Spanish Grand Prix, where tyre strategy was confusing, overtakes were rare, and Karl’s internet dropped more often than Red Bulls pit strategy. They’re dishing out their Driver of the Day picks, and of course, naming the all-important Dick of the Day – because someone always deserves it, and no, it’s not always Max.Expect wild takes, laughably poor predictions, and enough off-topic tangents to make a team principal cry. They were live on YouTube interacting with fans in real-time and, as usual, forgetting to actually watch large chunks of it. Professionalism? Never heard of her.If you're after real insight, go listen to Grid Talk. But if you're here for accidental comedy, light-hearted F1 chaos, and two mates who treat race analysis like a pub quiz they forgot to revise for – The Monkey Seat has your back.Want to hear them pretend to be grown-ups?
