FIA and Liberty at Odds | F1 Tire Testing Taboo | Grid Walk Jan 26, 2023

Grid Walk

On the first official episode of Grid Walk, Nicole and Briana attempt to contain their excitement about the upcoming 2023 Formula 1 season. Just because it is still the F1 off-season doesn’t mean they don’t have any F1 topics to discuss!

Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) President Mohammed Ben Sulayem tweets his thoughts about a potential $20 Billion evaluation of F1 and Formula One Group/Liberty Media wasn’t pleased.

Nicole brings us “Gossip Grid”; Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, and Esteban Ocon were all spotted during Paris Fashion Week. What does this tell us about the status and importance of Formula 1 drivers? Alex Albon can’t live without Chipotle or his Crocs and Lando Norris was on the cover of British GQ Hype. It seems like Shakira is a fan of the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 team!

There are few things Briana loves more than talking tires. Nicole gives her a challenge when discussing the upcoming Pirelli tire testing (with teams Mercedes AMG F1, Aston Martin F1, and Alpha Tauri) without using a few crucial words (such as “Test” and “Soft”).

MoneyGram Haas F1 Team finally announced their livery launch date! Nicole and Briana speculate what will the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team livery look like and why did it take MoneyGram Haas F1 Team so long to announce their launch.

Lastly, Briana gives “Yellow Sector Notes,” so we can complete a full lap around the paddock making a pitstop at every F1 teams’ garage. Max Verstappen installed WHAT on his private plane? Who does George Russell want to skydive with? What’s the status of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team Principal? Why was it a disappointing Sunday for an Aston Martin driver?
