Crabby About Carbon Fiber | F1 Car Launch Trends | Grid Walk February 15, 2024

Grid Walk

Grid Walk has a special guest this week…one of the four legged executive producers makes a special appearance! Parker needed to join Briana and Nicole on this week’s Grid Walk to rant (and mostly bark) about the recent misfortunes of being an F1 fan.

A return to Frustration Station before the start of the F1 season?? This time it is Briana and Nicole making a visit to the station, not F1 drivers. It is time to talk about the false advertising of car launch season! (Looking at you Williams!) How are F1 teams like Ferrari and Aston Martin incorrectly setting fans’ expectations? What can be done about all the carbon fiber? How are F1 teams leaning into pop culture with their launches?

Briana and Nicole return to their prop bets from the Alpine launch. The results weren’t pretty but that is really Alpine’s fault. Where did Alpine really miss the mark? What did Alpine’s launch potentially reveal regarding the speed of their car?

Nicole delivers a SUPER edition of Gossip Grid with everything you need to know about F1 and pop culture at the Super Bowl! Is there anyone Alpine isn’t a fan of? Who did Logan Sargeant and Kevin Magnussen pick to win the big game? What singer’s outfit is ready for the paddock? Obviously, there are all the details of the Visa Cash App RB launch!

A new F1 season means new sponsors (and some favorite returners)! Briana and Nicole share with F1 sponsorships they are most looking forward to this year. Will Duracell continue to impress with Williams? Will Celsius and Ferrari step it up in 2024? Will Mercedes take advantage of their last year with Lewis Hamilton (and his brand)?

🏎️🍾Grid Walk is a sometimes funny, often silly, and quick witted weekly show for Formula One fans. Don’t miss a weekly laugh filled Thursday episode full of recurring bits, race analysis, business breakdowns, and painfully awful predictions.
