Nicole and Briana aim to bring their F1 group chat to you every Thursday with funny recurring segments and fast-paced banter. Grid Walk releases every week (not just race weeks). No recaps here - we discuss the most interesting topics of the week by trying to discover why decisions were made and/or make predictions for the future.
Things get HEATED on the new episode of Grid Walk and not just because Briana’s AC is currently broken! Briana and Nicole have (almost) recovered from the return of the NFL. Briana shares how the NFL and Formula 1 can learn from each other! This weekend is about to get even crazier because it is an F1 RACE WEEKEND along with the football! (Thank goodness the Eagles play on Thursday.)
Before diving into a bunch of Formula 1 fun, Briana and Nicole take a moment to condemn the recent unacceptable comments made by Helmut Marko. Sergio Perez deserves better.
It is time for the F1 night race, the Singapore Grand Prix! Briana gives you everything you need to know about the track changes made to the Marina Bay Street Circuit. How will this new layout of the Singapore Grand Prix affect the race? Grid Walk also goes over the Pirelli tire graphic! With the 100% rate of safety car at the Singapore Grand Prix will we see every F1 driver start on hard tires and hope for a one stop race?
The battle to avoid an ice bath continues with Grid Walk’s predictions for the Singapore Grand Prix! Have Briana and Nicole been speaking too much because these predictions are getting wild? It is basically a guarantee that the competition will continue to be close after the Singapore Grand Prix. Will Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team end up on the podium with Fernando Alonso? Will Williams Racing driver Alex Albon be able to continue his points streak on the Marina Bay Street Circuit?
Rumor has it, recently rebranded (which is not at all related to this rumor…), Andretti Global will be receiving approval to join the Formula 1 grid from the FIA any day now. This is the perfect opportunity to bring back a Grid Walk favorite, the F1 Ring! The F1 Ring is the best way for the FIA, FOM, Liberty Media, Andretti Global, the 10 F1 Teams (BWT Alpine F1 Team delivering an opposing opinion) to fight it out!
There has been a little bit of a hiatus of Grid Walk’s Formula 1 X pop culture segment, Gossip Grid! Briana and Nicole talk about how the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and WGA (Writers Guild of America) may be affecting Formula 1? What other aspects could have caused the lack of Formula 1 in pop culture? There is some good news, the Gossip Grid hiatus is over! Nicole finally has enough F1 in pop culture to share and it’s a grand return! Nicole’s favorite Twitch streamer named a Sims baby after Max Verstappen??? What is happening during the pit stop of the Brad Pitt F1 movie? What comes in the “Checo Menu” at McDonalds? Mclaren F1 Team’s driver, Lando Norris was spotted wearing a friendship bracelet but what does it say???
Grid Walk is in a GREAT mood this week because the Italian Grand Prix was better than the Dutch Grand Prix AND the NFL season has officially begun! (GO BIRDS.) Grid Walk has some special F1 thank yous to distribute for their good moods! You know that Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, Scuderia Ferrari, and Williams Racing all get a shoutout.
Every F1 race weekend Grid Walk has fun F1 polls on all Grid Walk social media accounts (@gridwalkshow - you should follow)! Briana shares the results of the poll results for the Italian Grand Prix! What did Grid Walk listeners think about Carlos Sainz racing against Max Verstappen? Are people no longer surprised when Alex Albon scores points for Williams Racing? Is Monza the only circuit that Scuderia Ferrari really cares about? We need to know who believes that Sergio Perez was never/is not at risk of losing his seat at Oracle Red Bull Racing?
IT’S ABOUT TIME!!! Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team FINALLY announced a contract extension until 2025!! Apparently, Lewis Hamilton had signed this contract back in MAY! First off, HOW DARE YOU TOTO WOLFF! Why did Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team hold out on the news and does it have to do with George Russell (who also had his contract extended until 2025)?
Briana and Nicole definitely enjoyed the Italian Grand Prix much more than the Dutch Grand Prix! What moments at Monza made it Grid Walk’s Italian Grand Prix Podiums? Nicole delivers two opposing podiums - Surprising Things from Italian Grand Prix and NON Surprising Things from Italian Grand Prix! SPOILER ALERT: A lot of the Italian Grand Prix surprises were thanks to Scuderia Ferrari! Tifos was given an exciting home race at Monza. During the Italian Grand Prix, Briana came up with some games to make the race extra-entertaining! Do you think Max Verstappen was ever driving at full speed during the Italian Grand Prix? When did you notice that BWT Alpine F1 Team’s driver Esteban Ocon DNFed at Monza?
It is not “New News” that the dominance of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen is unprecedented in Formula 1. Since the 2022 F1 season there has been a new set of regulations. There is also currently an engine freeze..when Honda has developed an incredibly strong power unit. AND don’t forget about the F1 cost cap! During Free Practice of the Italian Grand Prix a lightbulb went off in Briana’s head about how all of these elements together has F1 stuck until 2026!
There has been a noticeable increase in sponsored social media content being posted by F1 drivers! Briana and Nicole both work in marketing and so “sponcon” is one of their favorite things to talk about! Alex Albon is one of the most marketable F1 drivers! What is the key to Alex Albon’s marketability? What do all the new business endeavors that Valtteri Bottas is pursuing potentially reveal about the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake driver?

WELCOME BACK FROM F1 SUMMER BREAK! It is time for the Italian Grand Prix to end the long summer shutdown because there is no such thing as the Dutch Grand Prix, right? The Dutch Grand Prix didn’t happen?? That's at least what Briana and Nicole are telling themselves on the new episode of Grid Walk to cope with the far from ideal race weekend.
Formula 1 news never waits! Briana and Nicole come together for some last minute recording to discuss the latest breaking F1 news! The FIA has released a technical directive regarding the flexibility of wings on F1 cars. The FIA has developed this technical directive after observing the performance of certain F1 teams. What does this mean for the development of the F1 teams for the rest of the season?
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by Formula 1! Briana and Nicole hold a small venting session for their latest woes as an F1 fan. Was the Dutch Grand Prix a personal attack? Will Scuderia AlphaTauri driver Daniel Ricciardo make a recovery before the end of the 2023 F1 season? Will Scuderia Ferrari figure out how to do a pitstop?
Inspired by F1’s hysterical video series “Grill the Grid,” Briana and Nicole play “Grill the Grid Walk Host!” Nicole has to try and put all of the F1 drivers in age order and it is a lot harder than it sounds! Briana is put to the test with F1 trivia that even the F1 drivers struggled to answer! Can Briana name 2 F1 drivers for each prompt Nicole throws at her: “Won A Race for Mclaren F1 Team,” “Won The Championship In A Ferrari,” “Raced For Two Different F1 Teams In The Same Season,’ and more!
Formula 1 is headed to Monza this race week for the Italian Grand Prix! Briana and Nicole’s Italian Grand Prix preview gives you all the must have information. What tire compounds is Pirelli recommending for the Italian Grand Prix? How does the circuit at Monza compare to Zandvoort? The Grid Walk competition to avoid an ice bath continues with Briana and Nicole’s Italian Grand Prix Predictions! Will Alex Albon score points again for Williams Racing after his impressive P8 finish at the Dutch Grand Prix? Will Oracle Red Bull Racing driver Sergio Perez be able to maintain a pace to be on the podium with teammate Max Verstappen?

F1 summer shutdown is in full swing! Grid Walk kicks off a little differently this week! Briana receives an important package that sparks an impromptu mail haul! What does one wear to a “black tie optional” event?? (Really, if you know, can you comment lol) You can tell from Nicole’s voice that she is recovering from an exciting weekend at Lollapalooza in Chicago! The weekend was so exciting that Delta canceled her flight so Nicole is not in her usual Grid Walk setting! A canceled flight doesn’t stop Nicole from sharing about the Lana Del Rey and Red Hot Chilli Peppers Grand Prix and all of the F1 fans she got to meet in Chicago!
Tire of Topics is here again to keep all F1 fans informed about the latest headlines of F1 drivers’ silly season! It is only the second week of silly season topics on the tire and Scuderia Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has been put back on the Pirelli tire! Can Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team just announce a signed contract already?? Is Lando Norris talking to Oracle Red Bull Racing again or is Lando Norris sticking with Mclaren F1 Team? Is Liberty Media pressuring Oracle Red Bull Racing to put “a more competitive driver” in the second Red Bull seat to race against Max Verstappen? What is Alex Albon’s plan for wanting to stay at Williams Racing? How much longer will F1 fans see Max Verstappen at Oracle Red Bull Racing or in Formula 1 in general?
Briana has prepared her Midseason F1 Review Podiums, some of Briana’s favorite moments from the F1 season thus far! Grid Walk loves marketing and business so it is not surprising.
Briana starts with her Favorite F1 Marketing Moments. Did Google Chrome and Mclaren F1 hit it out of the park? What clothing company had a major W with their F1 merchandise? Can we reminisce on the excitement of Celsius Energy Drink and Scuderia Ferrari entering a partnership? Can more makeup companies like Tarte Cosmetics use F1 races for brand trips??
F1 teams have given several jaw dropping Tech Upgrades so far! Briana shares her favorite F1 tech moments that we’ve gotten during the first half of the F1 season. Was Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s introduction of the B-Spec car a hopeful moment? Remember all the way back to car launches and the mystery of Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team’s AMR23? F1 fans have to agree that one of the most exciting moments of the season was getting to the floor of Oracle Red Bull Racing’s RB19 at the Monaco Grand Prix!
Even though the paddock is a bit quiet right now Yellow Sector Notes still takes us through the grid (well as much as possible)! Will Mclaren F1 Team let Indy Car Pato O’Ward drive in the free practice rookie session in Mexico? Scuderia Alpha Tauri driver Yuki Tsunoda has dropped merch exclusively in Japan! It is confirmed, Lewis Hamilton’s beloved dog, Roscoe, will make an appearance in the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie that Lewis Hamilton is executive producing!

Notes: F1 has officially entered summer break but Grid Walk hasn’t! So don’t worry Episode 28 is the first episode you’ll be getting throughout the entire F1 Summer Break! Grid Walk will give you the Formula 1 fix you’re missing!Briana and Nicole deliver a one of a kind Spa Summary, definitely opposite of the weather from the Belgian Grand Prix. Once again Max Verstappen tops the podium at P1. It seemed like Oscar Piastri was finally cracking the secret of catching up to Oracle Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen during the F1 Sprint Race. If only Oscar Piastri was able to race on Sunday and we got to see even more competition with his Mclaren F1 Teammate Lando Norris. Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team came to the Belgian Grand Prix with some pretty big upgrades. How will Mercedes drivers’ Lewis Hamilton and George Russell perform when the rest of the upgrade is installed at the Dutch Grand Prix?It has been a rough few weeks for BWT Alpine F1 Team. Most recently it was announced that Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer and Sporting Director Alan Permane will be leaving the team. Technical Director Pat Fry is also departing BWT Alpine F1 Team for the same role at Williams Racing. BWT Alpine F1 Team has the double DNF at the British Grand Prix that let Mclaren F1 Team leapfrog them in the Constructor’s Standing. Then at the Hungarian Grand Prix it was another double DNF for Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon. Is there any hope for BWT Alpine F1 Team??The Tire of Topics returns to decide which F1 drivers’ silly season headlines and rumors Briana and Nicole will discuss! Has a recent sponsorship change at Scuderia Ferrari revealed the faith of Carlos Sainz Jr.? Where do you even start with the Oracle Red Bull Racing #2 seat? The second Red Bull seat currently belongs to Sergio Perez but with the removal of Nyck de Vries and return of Daniel Ricciardo should Sergio Perez be nervous?? What about the other Scuderia Alpha Tauri driver Yuki Tsunoda?? Williams Racing is one of the F1 teams with a rookie! Logan Sargeant has yet to score a point. Did MoneyGram Haas F1 Team driver Nico Hülkenberg’s decision to go platinum blonde was to get more attention?It isn’t a secret that Spa is Briana and Nicole’s least favorite circuit but they still managed to deliver podiums this week! Nicole delivers shares moments from the weekend that made her smile but it is all off track because the Belgian Grand Prix makes her nervous. Has Scuderia Ferrari and Oracle Red Bull Racing started the F1 Sticker Wars? Susie Wolff shared the major announcement that all F1 Academy races will now be broadcasted! Briana shares how the coverage of the Belgian Grand Prix would have been different if it wasn’t right before the start of the F1 Summer Break! Shouldn’t tifosi be celebrating a Scuderia Ferrari and Charles Leclerc podium much louder? Can we please get a deeper diver into Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team upgrades??

It is nearing summer shutdown but not before Episode 27 of Grid Walk! It is the final F1 race week before the summer shutdown and there is A LOT to discuss.
Before jumping into the usual F1 fun, Briana and Nicole felt it was important to discuss Danica Patrick’s comment from this past weekend during the Hungarian Grand Prix Broadcast with F1 Juniors.
Grid Walk talks about everything that happened in Hungary! It felt that there was a lot of Mercedes Mania going on. Let’s relive Saturday over and over again with Lewis Hamilton qualifying for pole! What seemed to keep Lewis Hamilton from finishing on the podium at the Hungarian Grand Prix? Where was Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team losing time? Get an insight of the results of the Grid Walk Instagram Poll from the Hungarian Grand Prix?
Of course Briana and Nicole have a few podium moments from the Hungarian Grand Prix! The one of a kind F1 Juniors Broadcast had to make an appearance! What were the best F1 Juniors Graphics from the Hungarian Grand Prix? Who had the best F1 Juniors F1 driver avatar? Briana shares things that happened at the Hungarian Grand Prix that she has zero explanation for. As a dedicated Daniel Ricciardo fan, Nicole delivers her favorite Daniel Ricciardo moments of the weekend. Finally, a short list of things that Briana likes more than Spa.
Daniel Ricciardo officially made his return to the grid at the Hungarian Grand Prix! Nicole is struggling to process the Honey Badger’s return to the F1 grid. Briana attempts to provide data from the Hungarian Grand Prix to get Nicole to fangirl over Daniel Ricciardo’s race performance and potential.
The Belgian Grand Prix Preview is the last F1 race preview before the summer shutdown! Spoiler Alert: Grid Walk is not a fan of the Spa Circuit. However, Grid Walk is a fan of the Pirelli Tire Graphic which makes its traditional appearance! Why is Pirelli selecting harder tire compounds? Which Formula 1 teams are bringing upgrades? Will we see something from Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team at the Belgian Grand Prix or post summer shutdown?

Silly season hasn’t even officially started yet episode 26 of Grid Walk is full of F1 silliness! The German and Italian media have the Formula 1 rumor mill going! Are there new F1 teams joining the grid? Did multiple teams break the cost cap during the 2022 F1 Season? Find out all of this and MORE with Briana and Nicole on this episode of Grid Walk!
Google Translate Corner is back with a double whammy this week! The German media has reported that 2 applications for new F1 teams on the grid have been accepted. The whispers say the applications belong to Andretti Autosport and Hitech Grand Prix even though 4 applications were submitted in total to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Formula One Management (FOM) and the current F1 teams are not going to be happy about this… How would the addition of 2 more F1 teams affect the F1 fan experience of watching a race?
While Grid Walk’s Italian is better than German, we’re still thankful for Google Translate to give us the details of the F1 budget cap rumors. What does F1 President Stefano Domenicalli say about sporting penalties in F1? Is it just a better idea for F1 teams to break the cost cap in order to catch up to Oracle Red Bull Racing, especially if the FIA’s consequences aren’t tough? Money is tied to race pace, which is how we got here in the first place!
The Hungarian Grand Prix is the penultimate F1 race before the summer break a.k.a silly season!

Someone picks a Scuderia Ferrari driver?? Is it Charles Leclerlc or Carlos Sainz?? In honor of Daniel Ricciardo’s return to the grid there are special Daniel Ricciardo Predictions!
Grid Walk is a weekly Formula 1 show that releases every Thursday. For daily F1 content follow @gridwalkshow on all social media platforms.
Grid Walk would like a personal apology from Toto Wolff for getting hopes up about Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s performance at The British Grand Prix. We wanted a Lewis Hamilton race win but a P3 finish will have to do.
Nicole also accidentally predicts the future, before it was official that Daniel Ricciardo will be replacing Nyck de Vries at Scuderia AlphaTauri! (Make sure to listen to the bonus episode!)
Grid Walk takes a deep dive into the data from Silverstone with Teammate Battles! Is the Mclaren F1 Team pace for real? Is the success of the Mclaren just thanks to the driving of Lando Norris? Where is Mclaren F1 Team beating out other teams?
Tifosi has been fighting since the split strategy of the Scuderia Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Was Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz faster?
It is another jam packed Gossip Grid, bringing you everything you need to know about F1 and pop culture! Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc learned that love means nothing in tennis when they attended Wimbledon. A ton of stars showed up to Silverstone! Florence Pugh had the time of her life waving the checkered flag. Hannah Waddingham correctly addressed Sir Lewis Hamilton as 8 time world champion. Cara Delevingne visited Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake, the visit included hot laps and jumping into the C43. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris began filming their F1 movie with executive producer Lewis Hamilton. ApexGP took over a garage at the British Grand Prix for filming and unveiled a livery that was reminiscent of Rich Energy. Was Carlos Sainz trying to solidify his cameo in this F1 movie when he was close behind Brad Pitt at Silverstone?
Nicole and Briana bring their favorite moments from Silverstone with their British Grand Prix Podiums! Which drivers had the best helmet designs and why was this so controversial for Grid Walk?

What were the top F1 marketing moments of the British Grand Prix Weekend?
Formula 1 surprisingly announced the 2024 F1 Season Calendar?!? The Japanese Grand Prix has been moved up earlier in the F1 schedule! F1 still does not plan a race in Africa. What are the real reasons the Miami Grand Prix can’t move in the F1 calendar?

The Austrian Grand Prix was definitely [DELETED FOR VIOLATING TRACK LIMITS]. On episode 24 of Grid Walk, Briana and Nicole go through the events that led to a podium for Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Sergio Perez.
Several drivers have purchased a ticket to Frustration Station after the Austrian Grand Prix! Scuderia Ferrari did not make it easy for driver Carlos Sainz who was clearly upset on the team radio. The other Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc also had a moment of distress on the radio when the team was trying to convince him of a 3 stop race! If Sergio Perez wants to convince Oracle Red Bull Racing that he deserves his seat he better not let MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s driver Nico Hülkenberg pass him. Meanwhile at Scuderia Alpha Tauri, Yuki Tsunoda would probably love to be driving any other car on the F1 grid. Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and Lewis Hamilton sounded like they couldn’t wait for the Austrian Grand Prix to be over.
After all of the track limits penalties at the Austrian Grand Prix, it is time for the return of Into The Wild. Briana does a deep dive into what the “zebras” of other motorsports do for their regulation practices. What is Video Assistant Referee? Why are walls, sausage curbs, gravel traps, grass not the answer? How can the Snickometer in cricket and Hawk-Eye in tennis help F1 stewards?
It’s Sir Lewis Hamilton Week also known as the British Grand Prix! Silverstone is basically a guarantee for some great racing. Will Lewis Hamilton have a better home race with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team? How will the new Pirelli tires affect the race weekend? Was Mclaren F1 Team’s success at the Austrian Grand Prix showing that their upgrades worked or was it just Lando Norris’s driving?
SPOILER ALERT: Either Briana or Nicole picked a drive besides Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen to finish P1 at Silverstone.
This Week On the ALEX ALBON (#23) episode of Grid Walk! It’s always sunny in Formula 1… at least somewhere across the multiverse! In this universe the gang attempts to cover everything happening in the world of F1!
BWT Alpine F1 Team has two superheroes and a dude from Philly in the headlines providing us with the first true valuation of an F1 team since the sale of Williams Racing! Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney and Michael B. Jordan are part of an investment group that has acquired a 24% stake in BWT Alpine F1 Team for $218 million. This would give BWT Alpine F1 Team an evaluation of just under $1 BILLION! Does this mean we can now confidently say that some F1 teams are worth more than a billion dollars? What does this tell us about the current bid price for parties interested in joining the F1 Grid, is it enough?
Gossip Grid is back to give you a look into the lives of the paddock elite (when it comes to F1 and pop culture)! Nicole catches us up on F1 in pop culture which is basically what Lewis Hamilton did during his week off! BWT Alpine F1 Team driver Pierre Gasly was spotted at a Coldplay concert belting out what song? Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team driver Lewis Hamilton headed to Paris Fashion Week to support Pharrell Williams at his first show as Creative Director of Louis Vuitton Menswear. Zhou Guanyu is a driver for Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake AND a brand ambassador for Dior! Zhou Guanyu supported Dior at Paris Fashion Week from the front row of their show. Blink and you might miss Lewis Hamilton's cameo in Stormzy’s newest music video! Ice T wants to make sure you don’t miss his support for Lewis Hamilton! How did Ice T clear up any confusion on Twitter? Lewis Hamilton hopped on a helicopter so he didn’t miss which performance at Glastonbury?
Even though it is only June, it is time to start talking about F1 Silly Season, as the silliness is obviously brewing! Will we see any announcements from Scuderia Ferrari regarding extensions for their drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.? Will Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and Lewis Hamilton announce an extended contract at Silverstone? Oracle Red Bull Racing is definitely causing a lot of the SILLY! Has Nyck de Vries’s fate for the 2024 F1 season already been decided? Will Yuki Tsunoda be called up to replace Sergio Perez as Max Verstappen’s teammate? Will Daniel Ricciardo be returning to the F1 grid with Scuderia AlphaTauri?Briana and Nicole bring you a preview of this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix! Briana breaks down the latest Pirelli tire graphic! Will we finally get a qualifying session without rain? This weekend the Red Bull Ring will feature a Spring Race which means a Spring Shootout! Will Max Verstappen top the podium in Spielberg? Will Sergio Perez be able to silence the haters? Can Williams Racing and Alex Albon stay in the points like they did at the Canadian Grand Prix?
Could we see an Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team driver, Fernando Alonso or Lance Stroll on the podium? Will Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team remain in the fight?
