Welcome to the Midfield! We don't talk about the top, we don't talk about the bottom, everything else is the Midfield. Join Dan, Patrick and Andy as they dive into the world of F1 motorsports each week.
G'day mates! We're here spreadin' the sweet-badness for you, our loyal listeners, and whoah boy we've got another guest! It's our good friend Rod from SUPERLICENSE F1. His podcast that he's been heading up for over a decade. Not only is he kind of a big deal, he's a total sweetie and loves hanging out and talking race cars. Our kinda cat.As always, we start with origin stories and how Rod found his way to Formula 1, and almost instantly start bitchin' about timezones. It's all in good fun, we're former night-owls turned early birds. We talk the first race of the season, and get Rod's take on the current Australian drivers for 2025.Dooey vs Crashapinto. Easy pickens at his point of the 2025 season, but we know we've got mountains of surprises right around the bend. Trickier question; Lando vs Oscie. Battle of the McLarens. Could a dropping of Papaya rules lead to some fireworks on track this season? We can't hardly wait!We tie this one up with a bit of Aussie slang, and of course some baaad accents. We couldn't thank Rod enough for hanging out and putting up with our goofiness, so go thank him for us by giving his podcast SUPERLICENSE F1 a download, like and subscribe!

Happy New Year Midfielders! Our bellies and calendars have been sated, and it's time to get back to work. We clear the board and are getting back into things by giving EACH team a New Year's resolution. That's right, there's no side-bar, cause there's technically no midfield at the moment. Settle in with that last bit of leftover nog in the bowl and let's break down what the teams need to do in 2025. 8:20 - Finishing off the teams we don't normally talk about. Feels kinda good, kinda naughty! Be nice, make decisions, pick a driver, we've got a laundry list of resolutions ready to rock for our '25 teams. Feel like we missed one? Don't just scream at us through your media player, head online and join the discussion @Midfieldpod on threads!40:50 - 5 cars or less! We wrap up our resolutions for the drivers, and are expecting the teams to make good on them throughout the upcoming season. Dan's a dork, Patrick's a dork, everybody's a dork! Tune in to this segment for Dan singing! Such beaut.53:10 - New Seggy! In case The Midfield wasn't safe-enough of a place, Dan's opening up a bit for free-ranting! What's Grinding Dan's Gears this week? Cranial safety, at least that's what Patty took away from it..Thanks for tuning in for a whole new year of mediocrity!

The Wrap up! Hey there Midfielders! The final race of the season! The champions have been chosen, on (and off) the grid! Like Williams, we're amazed we've made it this far, and are thankful for a spell of some off season shenanigans. But before we pop the champaign and crown the victors, it's time for one last rundown from the top-down!26:30 - We took down the first half of the grid. Ferrari, George, and a little bit of true midfield splashed throughout. Now to the Astons. A real off-year for our color-sake team. We had dreams of Fernando-plums dancing through our heads, for our P10 pick this week, and he put in a solid job taking P9. Lance though...29:00 - We didn't forget, YOU almost forgot, we said something nice about Lance YET AGAIN. Say whatever you will, we probably said more nice things about Lance Stroll than any other pundits in 2024. #winning. We talk Frenchies, we talk GM and Cadillac, we get into all the gravy. Haas, Haas is the gravy.53:45 - VCARB. Perhaps not the right choice to close out the final race weekend, but hey, we went there. Patty's got his noises back! (Heads up for the impact drill SFX...) We're a lil spent after a long season of being so superiorly mediocre, and are looking forward to the off season as much as Ocon.Thank you Midfielders, for staying with us for a WHOLE SEASON of midfield action! It's been fun bringing you the action that's less talked about, and mostly speculatory.

Heyo Midfielders! We're back with another great-tastic episode. As usual we're raw-doggin' something right off the bat, so let's delve on in there with a run down from the top down!24:20 - We bounced around a bit, from secondary driver's not getting much of a look, to the stewards, to oh boy look at that. We're already at Aston Martin. The fellas find it in themselves to Say Something Nice.26:15 - Whew, glad that's outta the way. Now back to our guilty pleasure. The L-Pines! Pierre's a-rockin' and Este's already at Haas. Normally we're not big on the Frenchmen, but when we get one to lock down first DNF, we can't get enough. Bad Boy to come! And then Pmag... 38:35 - VCARB. Rough weekend all around. We do a quick round of "Can You Imagine?". It's tough, tough to imagine, struggling this much when they looked so promising after canning the American.42:00 - Another round of "Can You Imagine?"! What a treat. We dip into Walliams like they dip into, you know what, it's not even fun anymore, it's just sad... Dan gives us a quick sneak peek at what we can expect for Abu Dhabi.Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to check out our socials and our FREE bonus content on Patreon.

Welcome back Midfielders! If anybody hit it big in Vegas last weekend it's your favorite mid-tier podcast boys! We dive right into things with some possibly popping headlines. We then start the usual top-down breakdown of each team's performance. Checo puts The Midfield Podcast back in the lead for the P10 Challenge. Feather's and parts fly, boots get squishy, it's a right good time!23:10 - So Midfield he gets his own transition! It's our favorite Mexican Midfielder, Sergio Perez. Our P10 winner, AND the man who placed The Midfield Podcast BACK on top of the P10 Challenge leaderboard. Dan had the feelin', the ju-ju in his bones, as we continue our march toward mediocre excellence.35:50 - We do the thing! It's everybody's favorite thing! It's that thing where we Say Something Nice! We toss around a few hypothetical new career choices for our favorite Canadian boy. Dan keeps us all juicy, juiced up, if you will, with his breakdown of the Haas performance.47:35 - L-Pine does L-Pine stuff, yada yada. We get into VCARB who's got their elbows out against Haas for the place that the Frenchies stole in Brazil. Who will get the points in the remaining races? Not L-Pine, or WALLiams, that's all we're trying to say here... We do a lil' Grand Prix-view, as we look forward to Qatar and throw down a couple BOLDIES. Gonna get toasty!Thanks again for listening, and be sure to reach out to us on socials, and check out our sweet, sweet bonus content on Patreon.

11/26/24 • 63:04
Welcome back Midfielders! We are a few days from lights-out in Lost Wages. Will it be as unpredictable and chaotic as last year, or have we ironed out a few wrinkles in the procedures? Dan and Patrick have a few fun games for each other, as we get to know some of the new drivers joining next year's grid. Buckle up buttercup! Hold on to your hat! Don't count your chickens, is that toast? 18:50 - Another game?! Have we lost our minds?! Likely, but it's an oldie and a goodie. So good, it doesn't have a name yet. It sort of Pops, maybe. We break down the latest headlines in the world of F1. So Midfield, so demure.30:40 - The boys get into what lies ahead in Nevada, by looking back to last years fiasco. With the midfield getting some solid action and placing high in last year's race, will we have the same high-speed, tire-melting craziness as before? The Pirelli Track Preview has the track heating up as much as our shorts.We make a few boldies and wrap up the show before a long weekend destined for naps.

11/20/24 • 40:45
Welcome back Midfielders!We made it happen! The Williams of podcasting scrapes together another bye-week episode, battling illness and scheduling combined, and this one's a still banger folks. Patty shows his 2025 driver lineup knowledge, and someone earns the dreaded "double-ding"! Buckle-up buckeroos!2:40 - Dan gets down with Georgie Porgie on the latest statement from the Grand Prix Drivers Association, and boy is it a zinger. We need to use our nice words, on both sides of the argument. Hints of FIFA, and that's above our pay grade for sure. Tip of the cap to Brundle and Al Michaels, no notes!22:10 - Next year's driver lineup! We start it off easy with Patty's favorite red cars, but how will he fare as we make our way down the grid? Will he remember his notes from the Schlough Sheet? Have several weeks of Questionable Trivia boosted his knowledge? Place your bets now!45:38 - We start our deep dive on our newbies to the grid. Dan gives us some background info on our boy Franco. Dan provides some sources for his facts and we discuss eligibility 54:16 - Time to give you a tasty piece on one of our favorite CURRENT newbies, Lance Bass Pro Shops! Stickin' to his VCARB seat for next year, will he continue to push the conversation for the blue cars' no.2 seat? We divvy up the workload for next week's dives.Thanks again for listening!

11/14/24 • 64:51
Welcome back Midfielders! Whew! What a wet 'n wild weekend it was. We get right into the action talking nerds and water displacement, wow wow wee-wow! Dan's got some two truths and a lie for each of the teams down the grid for Patty to sleuth out. Faaantastic!13:35 - The Mercs! For a team that usually does just fine in the rain, (friggen Brit drivers) they only pull a 4-10. Porgie had a good shot early, but like our papaya boy, didn't quite get the strat right. Louie got to have some fun in Senna's car, and that's probably the only fun he had in a car all weekend as his Mercedes beat the tar out of him, pretty much all weekend.17:34 - Two truths and a who gives a S#%@, it's Aston Martin! A give up before the race, and a real "tough guy" radio call from the other. We argue semantics, and manage to squeeze in Something Nice. Will these guys be able to hold the lead they built over the rest of the Kirkland band midfield with their recent downturn in performance? We're not gonna talk about that, moving on!34:50 - VCARB! I said VCARB Patty pay attention! A good weekend from these midfielders. Lawson was our guy for the P10 challenge and good ol' LBPS done us good! Atta boy Earl! Ollie Bearman does his due diligence in a Haas and picks up 2 penalty points. Can't wait to see his new Bad Boyz tattoo!44:35 - Williams! These guys do more rebuilds than the Jacksonville Jaguars. Arguably the most expensive team on the grid this season, but hey it's quantity over quality here. Another huge bummer for one of our favorite teams, hopefully they'll patch some things together after a little break and put the goodfoot forward for the last few races.55:35 - Race direction? Dan's got some notes... We talk consistency, conspiracy, and safety. How does one actually start a race in the rain when someone crashes on the formation lap? Throw a tin of Copenhagen off the bridge and see who jumps!Thanks again for listening! Be sure to follow us on socials, and head over to our patreon for our FREE bonus content!

Welcome back Midfielders!We gotta guest, IN the actual HOUSE. It's Ashleigh, our social media manager! This week she'll have to edit herself as opposed to just us dorks, so hah! We get her in the hot seat with some questionable trivia. She's better than Patrick without watching the races.27:45 It's real, it's genuine, and it's from the bottom of our hearts; it's time to say something nice! It happened to be our Canadian friend's birthday, and as usual we're "Midfield Nice". We toss up the idea of a new segment, Racecar Astrology!32:50 - We say goodbye to our dearest Ashleigh and get right back into the action. A little more trivia-esque back and forth about our Kirkland brand Midfield. We talk hand-gestures and mouthbreathers. We got Earl ready to rock in the VCARB! He IS Patrick's boy.53:35 - Dan busts out the Pirelli preview for Brazil. We talk new asphalt and increased abrasiveness! A little banter about sprint weekends and then we make a couple BOLDIES. Patty's seein' red going for the triple double and Dano thinks the Hulk is going to un-Hulk. Whatever happens it's gonna be a fun weekend on the track.Thanks again for tuning in and be sure to follow us on our socials. And don't forget to head over to our Patreon for FREE bonus content!

10/31/24 • 70:48
Bada bing, bada boom! We're back midfielders! It's been a grip, but we're back for another recap after a big weekend of racing. Let's waste no time, and get right to the goodies, before we cancel ourselves..0:00 - Intros/ 'Rari lockout baby! Red cars go fast! We spend more than enough time talking about the top team of this race, and maybe dip into the constructors champs and yada yada. Big take-away, Patrick enjoys seeing tearful Italian men, so there's that.14:40 - The Mercs! A tough weekend for our silver arrows. One wall, one gravel trap, these guys are a pretty easy breakdown this week. It's a bummer to see a couple of our favorite midfielders take one on the chin, but Georgie still made something happen in the end.22:20 - We hit up the team that shares our livery, and are dragged into, yet again, saying something nice about our favorite Canadian. We discuss some new ideas for race penalties, and get all juiced up over our Haas boys as usual. We touch on VCARB, and the excitement we have for Yuki's future.40:45 - Williams baby. Franco baby. The boys agree, the new young drivers have turned up the heat on guys like Albon. Patty does some averages and loves him some Colapinto! The fastest lap debacle, oh boyyy.....56:55 - Rewind just a hot minute or so to catch our BOLDIES! Dan takes us into the Pirelli track preview and we get into our opinions of the Mexico City GP. It's a vibe thing. We're down. Patrick's looking for his poncho right now.61:15 - Questionable trivia?! Again?! Ho-ho, but this time it's for YOU the listener! That's right Dan's got big prizes ready to give away, to the winner of this week's round of trivia. You don't necessarily have to beat Patrick's answers, just other listeners, to our Threads account to submit your answers and take home the big dough! We give a big shout-out to our new friend Rod from Super-license. That's right we talked cars with a real-life Aussie! He's an awesome guy to have us on his pod, and we'll be sure to return the favor ASAP.Thanks again for listening, and be sure to check us out on our social media accounts, as well as our TOTALLY FREE bonus content on Patreon!

10/23/24 • 67:56
Welcome back Midfielders! Just a few days from another race weekend! Finally! And it's a reasonable hour for us Americans, how 'bout that? We got one more dose of Questionable Trivia to choke down before we head down to Texas for a sprint weekend. We're ready to get back into racing, so let go!4:59 - We break into the Questionable Trivia. Only 2 categories this week, but we've got some not-so-daily double-point-value questions. Patrick as usual, wins no money for anyone or anything, but maybe you can do better hollering into your podcast listening device. Dan's clues are whack!23:30 - We talk COTA baby! It's been near a month without the sound of loud engines and whatever the French team put under their hood. We talk upgrades and penalties and who's bringing the juice to Texas, for the double-race sprint weekend.37:40 - Trophy talk! We got a new trophy design for Texas and we've got some notes. Patrick pretty much nails the description. Dan blames the entire nation of Hungary. Well just the vase situation. We come up with our own designs and get our bingo cards started. Be sure to head over to our threads account to let us know what you're looking for this weekend!We dropped a fun teaser in there for the Outfield!

10/16/24 • 57:52
Welcome back Midfielders! We had a wild weekend away from race cars, and from each other! We share some travel stories, give a little nod to our boy Danny Ric, and then get right back into that which you love; our mediocre takes on the F1 midfield action! And here it is!8:00 - We start it out hot with Questionable trivia. Patty doesn't do quite as well as last week, but still mediocre, which is what we love. He's still petitioning some of the questions on the basis of the wording, but it will come to no avail. Can you beat Patrick's Kirkland brand score? It's not too hard.23:25 - Getchur pencils, getchur books! It's time for F-101 sucka! Professor Dan takes us through the penalties and what they mean/their significance come race day. Of course we're gonna take another shot at PMag.27:20 - We gots another shout out! While Patrick's working on his trivia skills, Dan's working on his shout out skills. Baby steps. As this episode releases hurricane Milton will be wreaking havoc through Florida. Our hearts go out to those stuck in the storms path, and we pray for the best.Thanks for listening, and be sure to follow us on our socials!

Welcome Back Midfielders! We know it's tough being a Formula 1 fan during the breaks, but that's what we're here for. And also our friends! Dan rattles off a plethora of quality podcasts in the world of F1 to cure your mid-season blues. Dan talks a lil' Top Team, talking a lil' VCARB, and Patrick's not really paying attention, but hey, it's the Midfield baby!8:12 - Questionable Trivia! Back by popular demand, but still songless. It's in the works. Can you beat Patrick's mediocre score? If you do, get off your high-horse. This is the MIDfield podcast. We STRIVE for mediocrity. 12:03 - Dan slanders Bob Ross. Shame.19:39 - Dan and Patrick try and work out the double - triple header coming up. And as usual argue about names and semantics. Sprints, crazy scheduling, what a wonderful way to end out the season. Poor residents of Las Vegas.We here at the Midfield Podcast know the dangers and loss involved with severe weather. Our hearts go out to all of those in the south with the current storms. Keep your chins up, the track will dry soon.Reach out to us on our socials and our Patreon and Youtube channels! Links below!

10/2/24 • 26:45
Welcome back Midfielders! A snoozer?! What're you guys talkin' 'bout?! Dan and our constituents on Threads are bashing this recent race in Singapore. We got Hot, we got Not, we got it all, except 2 top teams and 2 bottom teams, cause this is The Midfield baby! Let's get into it!0:00 - Intros/ Ferrari. Good but bad. On again off again. Off again on again. I believe we call that blinking. We compare the Italians to the highlighter cars, and then to a Lego car. Maybe take your sweet car, and your top drivers and do something worthwhile? Maybe? It MIGHT happen..8:30 - The Silver Arrows! Car looked great, drive looked mediocre to be honest. We think this might be the peak of the mountain for Mercedes this year. They're always around to pick up the scraps. Toto and the boys seem to be grasping at straws and throwing the Hail Mary's, and we're all for it. Let 'er rip, tater chip!17:35 - It's everybody's favorite segment! We Say Something Nice about our favorite Canadian driver. It's getting tougher, but we're pretty creative. We get into VCARB and all the juicy drama. Danny? Out. Yuki? Still Yuki. We think it's time to lay down the Lawson come COTA.25:53 - Our bad boys are back at it! Hulkster for the P10 pick. PMag is free and clear and loving life, penalty-free after his recent race ban. Quite vocal about it too in fact. The bouncer of the midfield is revealed, and he's a force to reckoned with, leather jacket and all.30:10 - Williams! Patty's changed his tune mightily! Frankie's got these guys hummin', and we're on board. Dan's been on board most of the season, but it's been tough with Logie dragging down the team. More points in 2 races than Logan in 36? Dude's trying to tango with the top teams in a Williams. Bad. Ass. The L-Pines are out.37:10 - Gyro cam! SO sick. Favorite camera of all time. Patty loves Singapore, Dan's not as impressed. Aesthetically pleasing, but at the cost of exciting racing? Clearly the heat has severe impact, maybe we reign it in a lil bit? Shout outs baby!Thanks again for listening Midfielders!

9/25/24 • 44:31
Welcome back Midfielders! We had yet another explosive weekend on the track. We were just blown away by the papaya performance. We talk teams we shouldn't necessarily, and tease the heartbreak of a premature exit by our favorite Mexican Midfielder. Let's push deep into this week's tantalizing episode.13:30 - The arrows! The Trash Man! Garbage points are what? That's right, points baby. Garbage cars are what? Lewis' car, at least this weekend it seemed. A rough go all three days for the champ. Unable to make the leaps of old this weekend, Hamilton was near the back of the pack while his teammate scrapes a podium off the cutting room floor. Mercedes taking what they can get, seems to be their M.O. this year.17:15 - We share some fatherly thoughts on potentially the spoiled-est driver on the track, but as always, we find a way to say something nice. Fernando is our Kirkland King! Loves to race, when he wants to race, and if he wants to help us in our P10 challenge? What more can we ask for?25:00 - VCARB. V-disappointing. Yuki got taken out by daddy's boi, and Danny's been struggling. We talk possibilities for Riccairdo's future, and not too many of them are in a seat. We tie in the Bad Boys as well. Ollie had a sick weekend and we're big on this kid. He's got a good head on his shoulders, and realizes the difference between A point, and points. Good job Bearman. Williams kept it cool during quali and we've got a new nickname for our potentially untalkable Frenchies. Questionable Trivia!58-50 - Track facts! We may or may not be working on a fancy new jingle for that, we'll see. Dan breaks down the tires, and the track for the Singapore GP and gives a quick lil' history lesson as well. We make some BOLDIES as well as recap Patrick's misfortune from last week yet again.Thanks again for listening and be sure to follow us on social media as well as check out our P10 challenge discussions on Patreon, and our goofy clips on our new Youtube channel!

Welcome back Midfielders! No race? No problem. We can talk in circles without a subject just like any other American News outlet. Let's waste no time, or all the time, and crack right in to this week's episode.0:00 - Intros/Adrian Newey?! Goin' to the WHERE?! Dan's got a juicy drop on where the air-flow-mastermind will land for the '25 season. If this be true, is it a massive waste of aerodynamic engineering? Patty talks some trash on one of his favorite ol' dogs, as the boys dissect the possibilities that lie ahead. Plus Baku Jeopardy. 'Nuff said.24:40 - Dan busts out the Pirelli tire preview. Lots of speed and track evolution coming up this weekend. One of the longest circuits of the season, traffic may not be a big issue, but will we see a safety car in the treacherous castle section? We sneak a lil peek at who we might pick for the p10 challenge this weekend, and Patrick read an article? Wild.35:40 - We make some BOLDIES! This week Dan takes a lil' heat for going less than bold. He's backing Lance, and Patrick's got the Mexican Midfielder! We're looking to maybe spice up the BOLDIE battle, reach out, and help us come with some fun ideas! It's gonna be a wild weekend no matter what happens! Thanks again for listening and be sure to check out our new Youtube and Patreon pages!

Welcome back Midfielders! Boy golly gee oh gosh! Wasn't Monza just a hoot?! We thought so! Kick back and enjoy the recap as we go team by team through all the midfield action. Let's get it goin'!0:00 - Intros/Italian vs. Dutch GP's. Easy pickins, and that's not just our opinion man, that's YOURS! Real live poll results? Man, we are on our game.3:35 - A double dinger?! C'mon Patty, ties the score in one sentence. It's hard to avoid our favorite papaya boys when they had such an excellent battle with the Ferrari's on Sunday. A surprising one-stop puts Charlie on the podium! Both red cars looked good, and done It-lee proud. Good job.12:15 - Georgie Porgie was full-up on pizza and ready to tangle with The Mexican Midfielder. He was up and down and out and in all day Sunday, but managed to fanagle his way into 7th overall, and snuggled right between the Blue Team cars as well. Well done Porgie Pizza Pie, the crust is perfect. We touch on Lewis about as much as the F1 broadcasters did, or so it seemed. Quiet weekend from ol' Faithful.16:55 - It's that team we love to hate. We put our eggies in Lance's basket this week for the P10 challenge and boy-oh-daddies-boy were we mistaken. Dan thinks he's cracked the code, as to his ENORMOUS drop off at the end of the race. Despite all this, we find a way to say some nice things.33:52 - The Bad Boys. Sadly their cool leather jackets and toothpicks caught up to to our Haas brothers. Hulkster deked us out of choosing him for P10 by spending all practice sessions in the gravel, and Dan nails his BOLDIE as PMag finally scoops up his race ban. It's okay buddy, take a race to cool off, and we'll see you soon.Thanks again for listening, be sure to follow us all of our social medias, and be sure to check out our brand new Youtube and Patreon channels!

9/4/24 • 46:46
AAAaaaand we're back! After a less than exciting sunday in Zandvoort, Dan and Patrick are here to break down all the action. We take action of our own, and finally omit "The Orange Team" from our talkables list. Patty shows off his new whiteboard on an audio-only podcast, good for him, and we get our engines primed for the Temple of Speed. Coming in HOT right outta the break with one of our favorite tracks. Can we make it through the race without terrible fake-italian accents? Unlikely at best.20:14 - Brief touch on the red cars and the mercs. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, so we're moving right along to the guys we love to say nice things about! Aston Martin! It's a little easier if you pick a session to compliment as opposed to the weekend as a whole.24:30 - Patty's hot under the collar. He's all spiced up over VCARB. Betrayed by Yuki and losing the top spot in the P10 Challenge. Down but not out! We have faith in our ability to return to the top spot, but does VCARB have what it takes to stay on top of the Kirkland Brand Midfield? Seemingly one driver will, per weekend, but never both...44:20 - Williams widdles weight! Either by shaving it off the the sides of the car or leaving it in the wall during P3. We're very glad the Screamin' Eagle is okay and unhurt as far as we know, but his season wrapped like his car around those guardrails. We're excited about the new driver at Williams for the remainder of the season.56:35 - BOLDIE time! Dan's going after the PMagnet this weekend. Will he keep it clean for YET ANOTHER week in a row?! Monza's basic according to Patrick, so he's dogging the Mexican Midfielder. Kinda negative with our BOLDIES this week, but hey, a little skepticism is healthy amiright?Thanks again for listening, and making us your home for all the Midfield action!

Welcome back Midfielders! We're wrapping up our silly seasons and are headed back to reality. School's starting back up, NFL season is on the horizon, and the F1 summer break is almost over! We're headed to Nederland for Darth's home race. It's okay, we only take a thousand cuts at the Dutch this episode. Hang on to your weird bicycle as we get ready for the Dutch GP.2:30 - F1's sending down the no-no's from the top, means bad news for those of us trying to squeeze a nickel out of the cash-cow of top-tier racing. ARE YOUR FAVORITE F1 CORRESPONDENTS TOTALLY DONE FOR?!?!? Of course not. But we break down this, and many other news tidbits, that Dan has scraped off the bottom of the barrel before we get back to the second half of the season.12:40 - Bring back the hate! Well, just a little bit. Are the FIA and the powers that be pulling the reigns too hard on the drivers and principals when it comes to race-day criticism? It's not our place to judge, but we're OBVIOUSLY gonna weigh in our small-town opinions on the matter. Either way, mean people suck, and if you can't be nice, be funny.18:45 - Tires!? Tracks? Cars? Oh yeah, there IS a race season still happening. It's been a minute since Dan has given us a Pirelli preview and boy does it have us all juiced and ready for another weekend on the track. We make some BOLDIES and some less-than-liklies? Patty needs to braven up a bit if he wants a bold claim, but we still love him.There's whispers of a Patreon of all of our terrible/hilarious outtakes, cause if you can believe it, we're even worse before we edit this thing.

Welcome back Midfielders! Uh oh, now we done it. Back to back guests?! Have we lost our minds?! Probably, but it's summer break and we called up another F1 podcasting pal; Adam from F1 Fantasy HQ! He's here to help salvage what's left of Patrick's gawdawful season, and give you the tips and strategies to help you finish the season on pole. As always there's some NFL sidebar and unregulated silliness, but hey, that's what we're here for.3:15 - Boom, 3 mins in and we're already serving up the season-smashing strats. Adam tips us his hand and gives us his chip strategy AND line-up for the second half! He gives us a handful of his own credentials, to remind you that he IS the light at the end of the Formula 1 Fantasy tunnel.9:30 - Adam spills his beans again! Now he's telling us where and how and who you can look to for insider information going into each weekend. We may have slipped a little truth-serum in his coffee, or he's just a super-nice guy who loves talking F1 Fantasy, maybe both. Adam breaks down tier pricing and even manages to say something nice about our favorite daddy's boi! Whatta guy!18:00 - We get into the last race and how Georgie Porgie's DQ crushed fantasy scores across the lands. Adam's hot on VCARB, and as usual, has the stats and data to back it up. We talk Haas, and how we love their bad. Worst fantasy score of all time? Sounds like our boys...30:07 - NFL time. A Pat and two Packers, yikes, we understand if you find us intolerable, but we appreciate you stickin' with us thus far. Adam tells us about his trip to TB12's HOF celly at Gillette. Sounds like a magical night. We touch on Bill Belichick, and he's touching on, well you get it.44:20 - A little Formula 101 with guest-professor Adam! He learns us on some track limits! Quali or race-day, keep em between the lines! We want to thank Adam again for helping us understand all the ins and outs of all things Formula 1 and Fantasy.

Welcome back Midfielders! Just because it's the start of summer break, doesn't mean we're not ready to rock and roll with another JAM packed episode. We brought in the big guns early and got our ol' pal Mark Schofield to help us ease the pain of no F1 for a month, with some talk of what we might expect after the break, the NFL, Olympics, and bike racing! Hang out with us as we run the gambit with Mark yet again, on another fantastic episode!13:12 - We break away from the Squish and Williams to talk a bit about McLaren, and what they need to do to really take it to the energy drink team in the latter half of the season. Mark think's they have the car to do it, on merit, and we're inclined to agree. Just do-you papaya bois!22:10 - Most Impressive Driver? The M.I.D.? We go back to back, to back, and share our picks for the best drivers on the grid for the first half of the '24 season. We make some off the wall picks, as well as touch on the real contenders. Quality speculation as always.27:05 - Most Impressive Team! We start tearing into the constructors and who's really made an impact in the first half. Haas stands out surprisingly, we love our bad boys, but it's great to hear Mark's got some love for PMag and the Hulk too. Blah blah, McLaren, blah. Alpine??38:36 - We take turns talking tracks! We go around the table sharing our favorite moments so far, and those yet to come! We've got some real bangers on the schedule right out of the gate, with The Temple, Singapore and COTA on the not so distant horizon.51:28 - NFL pick 'ems! Dan love's his pick 'ems! We each take a team from the NFC and the AFC to make our preseason Super Bowl picks! Patty steals a sleeper from Dan, and we wrap up with some more of our person Olympic highlights. Patrick stayed awake through all the cycling talk too! Bonus points!Whew! If there's anyone that can make us earn our keep, it's Mark Schofield. The brains, the brawn, the subtle northeastern accent. He's one of our favorite ears to the ground in all things sports, but not our only! Make sure to stay tuned as we've got more guests lined up for the summer break! Extra big thank you to Mark for sharing his time with us, and be sure to follow his and our socials for all the latest on the NFL, F1, Olympic, Cycling, and randomness!

WawawaWelcome back Midfielders! Boy are we glad you're on board for another nail-biting episode of The Midfield Podcast! We're gonna break down the bonanza in Belgium team by team, talk about who's going where for next season (actually and theoretically), as well as play some games and have some good ol' fashioned midfield fun. Thanks as always for choosing the midfield as your F1 news/doofus podcast/broadcast! Let's get into the good stuff!11:00 - The hometown favorites! Our orange brethren, wait, if they're at the top of the order... No, they haven't taken the number one seat in the constructors yet but at this rate, they'll be out of our league in a jiffy. For now we'll touch on the papayas and their yet another solid race. Oscar stepping up when Lando struggles, what more can a soccer dad ask for?18:40 - Red cars, red faces of frustration. Patty's steamed! Can the 'raris figure it out? Why does everything they do seem like a random guess? Leave it to these midwesterners to crack the code. Wait, we actually did, Squishy's a driver, not a strategist, case closed.25:30 - The Silver studs! Arrows, whatever. Porgie had a one in a million race, cause he's a cheater. Lewis killed it, had a monster of a race, looking primed for a late-season surge. We touch on our Mexican midfielder, and the top team's refusal to ditch this bum. Merch is king.31:50 - Aston, Aston, Aston. Whew, what to say. We squeeze out a few nice things to say about our favorite daddy's boi, and that's about it. Fernando's struggling, but seems quiet about it. We've got our ears as low to the ground as we can stand when it comes to our Canadian constructors. Love you B.38:33 - VCARB. Despite tanking from the start of the race these guys don't drop places. Danny got point, and Yuki made the good fight from P60. These guys love to keep the Kirkland brand midfield rockin' and rolling.41:10 - A new bad boy's in town! We couldn't be more excited to have one of the rowdiest racers on the grid in a Haas uniform for 2025. Estie Bestie's been signed to drive alongside a rookie Ollie Bearman, what could possibly go wrong? We. Can't. Wait.44:00 - Slip sliding into Alpine. Not much to say about poor Pierre. His car hasn't worked right and he hasn't seemed himself since his big break up with Ocon. Hopefully he can regroup a bit over the break and give the french team a reason to stay on the circuit.52:15 - Not much to say about Williams in Belgium, other than the fact that this is the race we found out Carlos is ready to squish it up in blue instead of red. Is James Vowles an F1 mastermind, and will we look really dumb this-time next year? Pigs can't fly, but I've seen some jump pretty high.Thanks again for racing through another week of Formula 1 action with us here on The Midfield Podcast!

Bbbbbback in business Midfielders! We've got da juice, ta bring ya da newss! Internet restored and back to racing just in time for the Hungarian Grand Prix! Dive in with us as we break down all the action from last weekend's race and get ready with us for next weekend with a few track facts from Belgium. This episode's got it all! 0:00 - Intros/Big ups to Jesus. Dan gives us some reactions to his polls and we start out hot, with our race winners right off the bat. McLaren got nasty all weekend long, with a strat so good they left us all wondering why not make a run for your lead driver? We get into all the Papaya confusion, possibly for one of the last times this season. Until then, go Oscie go!15:50 - Looked better, but still looked Ferrari. Brought some good upgrades, and got a 4th and 6th, but still looking like a real 3-4 instead of the 1-2 they would like to be. Maybe 2 superstars behind the wheel isn't the best strategy, especially when they both'a drive'a like'a crappa!21:35 - Louie Louie! Woah-OH! 2-hundy baby! Porgie has a bad quali but Lewis was there to save the day for the silver arrows. A rare-fuel miscommunication on Mercedes' end, but the future is looking bright for our Premier Midfield British drivers. Just like mom, if Toto's happy, we're all happy.33:10 - A bunch of upgrades gone awry! Our truck-ish Aston Martins had a mediocre weekend, which is just how we like em. Thanks to our inside-man Mark Schofield, we found out about a lil not-so-nicey's at the end of the race between Daddy's Boy and our favorite Spaniard. Should've given it back Lance. We still find a way to say something nice about our selfish little stinker.42:43 - VCARB. Questionable pit strategies leave Danny out to dry? Possibly. Doesn't stop Yuki from crushing a one-stop. Lots of question marks flying around this team, as one of them looks to be the clear-cut favorite to replace the Mexican Midfielder on the top team.48:42 - Quiet weekend from our bad boys. The Haas boys were waiting to strike on the top 10, but didn't quite get a chance to grease their way in there. Caught up in undercut fascination, Nico came in early, like way early, and it didn't really pan out. We love your weird strategies Haas, keep 'em comin'.That's a wrap Midfielders!

Wwwwelcome back Midfielders! My-how we've missed you! Dan is still shovelling buckets of water overboard while Patrick rigs together a bycicle-toaster-antennae to muster up enough internet to bring the people what they so desperately crave! More Midfield action! Laggy internet and lack of power be damned!0:00 - Intros/A quick recap of the British GP. Houston wasn't the only soggy place over the weekend! A bit of on and off rain during the race kept the strategies up in the air, and us on the edge of our seats. Our Midfield guys had a heck of a weekend, scoring points all over the place. A bad boy in 6th? A Williams with points? Total madness mate!9:20 - The boys make some picks for the upcoming race and continue the good fight against the bad-internet goblins. We love McLaren, what else is new? Dan does a lil' track preview, and lil' complainin' about our beloved Hungarian GP. Just the name(s), the track's a gem. Patty gets his mind blown by the double DRS single-detection zone concept.16:02 - F1 MOVIE!? It's got a really dynamic name and trailer, and a Brad PItt, so that's neat. We start lickin' our silly season chops with some more drama from our boi Squishy Boots. How will he shake up the grid as he appears to have said sayonara to Williams?Thanks again for listening and powering through our recording woes! Our hearts go out to all the storm victims down south, and we send you all the T's and P's we know how to send!The only thing we love more than F1 is you our fans!

7/19/24 • 21:32
Welcome back Midfielders! We had a real sizzler in the Energy Drink Ring this past weekend! A real mixup on the top steps which was ever-so refreshing. We know you're all excited for our groundbreaking analysis and heart-stopping takes, so let's waste no time and get right into another excellent week of Midfield action!0:00 - Intro's/ How we partook in Sunday's super showdown, one park-bound the other couch-locked, reach out to us on our socials and let us how you like to enjoy your race day!4:00 - Red cars, won and done! Booked and cooked! Carlos gets a podium and Charlie's eyes get left in the rearview as he barely escapes the points. These guys need to get it together to remain relevant in the constructors.7:41 - McLaren! Woooaaahhhh there! Easy girl! Too much more outta you and we'll have to stable ya with the Energy Drink Team. Another amazing showing from the papayas, and a near double podium! We'll take all the excitement we can get while we can still talk about The Zak Brown Band.15:00 - Mercs! How can we have so many Midfield teams do SO well and we haven't even hit the winner?! Oh yeah, Darth and Lando, but still! Georgie Porgie was the guy ready to scoop up the ball and take it past the goal line. The Silver Arrows are storming, but is it enough to catch the orange and blue cars?20:00 - A quick laugh at the Mexican Midfielder. Checo does Checo things, we're not surprised, but we love it!22:58 - It's getting tougher and tougher to find nice things to say about EITHER of the Astons these days, but we find a way. We've got waning interest from Fernando and a real lack of performance from Daddy's Boy.28:20 - VCARB? More like V-Questionable. Yuki's sliding and Danny's mediocre at best. Their position at the top of the Kirkland Brand table is tentative to say the least. We'll go a head and squish them right in there with our favorite new French homies! They might not be flying up the table, but we love the drama, we love how even they are, we love how many P10 Challenge Points these goofs have scored us in previous weeks! P9-11 is about as Midfield as it can get. J'adore!34:23 - Bad boys bad boys, what you gonna do?! As usual these guys keep it fun on the track and really just do their own thing. Can Magnussen keep it clean for yet another consecutive race and deny yet another BOLDie? We're on the edge of our vandalized seats.38:10 - Dan gives us a track preview, and waffles a bit on his pronunciation. That's okay, it's about to get waaaay worser. Say what you want about the Brits, they build a damn fine race track. Likelihood of rain, high, its the UK... looking forward to seeing the drivers be put to the test as usual.41:00 - We get into our Brit-ish name game! We had a great response from our listeners as Patrick slaughters the names of people's homes, so we're back at it again. We've even added a second bit to see if Patrick can sniff out if these screwy names are even real or not! Great fun all around!50:00 - We make some BOLDies and get all set and ready for Silverstone! We hope you enjoy our nonsense as much as we have!

7/3/24 • 56:07
Welcome back Midfielders! Get settled in with us as we recap the Spanish Grand Prix. We travel down the constructor's table re-living all the glorious action from a sun-drenched Spain. All this, some BOLDies (old and new!), and a look ahead to the Austrian GP. It's lights out and away we go on this week's episode of the Midfield!6:15 - Starting at the top, or are we? Patty's favorite red cars aren't looking as good as they're supposed to, and we're slightly concerned. For the start of a triple-header, this is not the look you're going for. At least the boots are stayin' wet and the violins are stayin' warm.13:05 - Good day McLaren! Had an excellent start to the weekend, and managed to keep it locked in to finish on the podium. We're talking about Lando of course. Oscie can't find his way past P5 in the last several races, and we think Lando could use a little backup on the grid and in the points. Although if they do too much better we won't be able to talk about them anymore.18:10 - Dan almost lands last week's BOLDie! Just a position off, but still within the same team! You love him, we love him, everybody loves Hambo! Another smooth circuit from the resurfacing silver arrows of Mercedes. The boys get into a "killer" debate about George, and we feel we'll see some truer colors of our little Englishman in the remaining double-header.25:30 - Checo made Q3 and turned himself into a baguette! Always neat when you're in the best car hanging out with the Alpines. Sell that merch Sergio. We get into some questionable ad placements, and questionable everything-VCARB. 31:10 - We dip into Aston Martin, about as much as the production crew over the weekend. We say something nice, and that's about all there was to say about the green guys. Quiet weekend from 'Nando and Daddy's Boy.33:35 - Our latest favorites! P10 Challenge victors this week. The mediocre moves of Esteban Ocon prove just groovy enough for us to remain atop our meaningless mountain. Does the Kirkland brand midfield have a new champion? Keep it rolling, keep it French.45:25 - Dan gives us a track preview as we look ahead to the Austrian Grand Prix. Little bit of everything in the energy drink ring. Looking forward to melting rubber through 3 DRS zones and a sprint weekend to boot! Wowzers, what a weekend awaits!We make a few more BOLDies for the upcoming race and say goodbye for yet another week. Thanks again for listening, and be sure to follow us on socials.

Welcome back Midfielders! Have we got a treat for you! Dan's bag of tricks has reach far across the pond, as he wrangled up another phenomenal interview, this time from the U.K.! Be sure to hang with us through the upcoming track preview and BOLDies cause this guestie is the bestie!0:00 - Intros/ Spanish GP preview. What does this old test-track have in store for us? Lots of turns, speed, and downforce to be enjoyed by all. We hope for a dry track to gather some good clean data this weekend and play a little "move the needle" with some current F1 headlines.10:30 - We bust out our BOLDies for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix. Patrick keeps it Krikland in quali this weekend, and Dan goes "dead wrong" backing the silver arrows. Can George feed Patty his own shoes and land a rare-correct guess for Dan this weekend? Only time will tell.13:30 - We welcome our guest Terry Widdows of F1 Coffee Corner! He's our inside man in the land where F1 is actually followed! He shares his origin story of growing up watching F1 with his father, tells us what led him to begin his podcasting journey, and divulges why an Englishman chose coffee over tea as his namesake. 22:13 - Terry gives us a little hint as to his big plans for the Spanish Grand Prix, and we talk driver disparities and Squishy's options. Terry says something nice, and we get his takes on the the looming triple header. We round out our session with Special Guest-Professor Terry on this week's Formula 1-01.45:00 - We say goodbye to Mr. Widdows and to you, our loyal listeners!
