Ep. #24 - "Spygate" Special Episode

Welcome to the first of many "Zoomies"! The Slipstream F1 Podcast's awards show for you, our dear listeners!  We have had an incredible year with all of you listening and hope that you all enjoy this episode of what YOU, the listeners, have voted as your award winners of the season :) 

It's the end of the season and it's come to this. Max Verstappen is champion and we bid farewell to the likes of Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo (for now), and Mick Schumacher.  We can't wait for next year! 

The final is upon us. And whilst it's not as exciting or intense as 2021, who can resist a bit of banter and racing? Not us! 

Unbelievable scenes and without a doubt the best race of the season as GEORGE RUSSELL secures his first and deserved race wins in Brazil.

After seeing Red Bull fall victim to the powers of the FIA, we uncover Spygate. In 2007, Mclaren were found out and heavily fined for cheating and being in possession of confidential Ferrari documents.  Follow us on our socials :  Discord : https://discord.gg/QSM7M4Xd Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/theslipstreamf1podcast/ With Thanks To The Music :  1st song "Chasing Sunset" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/J2Jq9B8K6a8 2nd song "First Offense" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/6zt0ZRzkZUo 3rd song "Always with You" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/4Gn_-0AX0Yo 4th song "Empty Streets" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/uuHi2g5-5Ok 5th song "Discover" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/nmNI2HFfKak 6th song  "Overflow" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/WKtEFKrSQxk 7th song "Undeniable" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/LicKH8itJms 8th song "Night and Day" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/eU3WZ_6XTxk 9th song "Cortez" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/FyWycjAG5ZQ 10th song "Seasons Change" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/m8YwxvOxEoI 11th song  "30,000 ft" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/p9zID2hEa-I 12th song  "Full Circle" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/WIfG6M-jc4c 13th song "Renaissance" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/7U9m10oSfCo 14th song "Palm Leaves" Instrumental by Homage https://youtu.be/Z4wz6lNoSFY

The Mexican GP was more of a lullaby than a GP during many phases of its race. However, it did come with it's fair share of action and interesting talking points, along with Max Verstappen taking his record-breaking 14th win!

This week we recorded from seperate venues for the first time. To be honest, there's nothing better than being together but we did our best and hope you enjoy the podcast :)  We preview the Mexican GP this week as well as analyse the entrance of Audi into the pinnacle of motorsport and the likelihood of their success. We also discuss Haas' relevant point regarding calling cars in with the 'meatball' flag and whether or not the FIA are dishing out instructions fairly and equally. 

Mike, Robert & Nicole hop on the podcast to review an excellent U.S Grand Prix! Max Verstappen raced to victory having to pass his rivals along the way in an enthralling Grand Prix that saw 2 safety cars and Fernando Alonso almost lift off into space.  Follow us on our socials :  @Theslipstreamf1podcast  @Thereal_sweatymike @Robandrewhurst

With Red Bull having breached the cost cap, we look to see what options are at the governing body's disposal with regards to their teams breaking the rules. We also have a look at the transfers that have gone ahead with Pierre Gasly and Nyck De Vries securing seats for the future and play a game of F1 Yes / F1 No.
