Max Verstappen had probably his worst performance of the season. Yuki Tsunoda was crying behind the catch fence. Zhou Guanyu Zhou dazzled fans of Formula 1 with his bubble tea boots. Sergio Perez dominated for the win. Alpine had an awful weekend. The Safety Car was the star. The stewards had us all scratching our heads. Overall, it was a wet, fun, wacky weekend in Singapore!

Then we dive into a fun Mailboxboxbox stuffed with reviews, Max Verstappen predictions, the British Monarchy, and Nicholas Latifi's job after he leaves Formula 1. There is a heated hot, young stud debate, we build a Purple Sector Podcast Podium, and discuss ways to avoid races finishing behind the safety car.

Tune in for our breakdown of the F1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza! Nyck de Vries staked his claim to a Formula 1 seat for next season with an impressive weekend. There were lots of random helmets. Mick Schumacher scootered to a food truck. We were deprived of an Andrea Bocelli anthem by a bad microphone. Ferrari had banana mechanics. Max Verstappen won again. There was big drama around a late safety car closing out the race. RyGuy had some stunning statistics about the incident. The podium brought us a bunch of boos from the Tifosi and a perplexing trophy. The race may not have been the greatest, but we find a way to enjoy it as always. Thanks for your fantastic Formula Brunch submissions!

Tune in for our preview of the F1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza! Ferrari is bringing the condiments with a mustard and ketchup livery and mustard race suits, and Monza is bringing more gravel to the track. You won't believe some of the shocking stats about recent races at Monza: Who has won the last 4 races? When was Red Bull's last podium? Will Alfa Romeo show up in Italy? We also build an impromptu Slam Prix lineup of the 4 Formula 1 tracks that should be the Majors like in golf. What tracks would make your Slam Prix?

The band is back together to review the F1 Austrian Grand Prix!

It was a busy race weekend with fun Friday Qualifying, a superb Saturday Sprint, and a ridiculous Sunday race. Mercedes shocked us in Qualis when Lewis Hamilton and George Russell both wrecked out. Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc were told by Ferrari that they were "free to fight" in the Sprint. And don't forget Sunday... The Formula 1 race on Sunday was awesome in so many ways: Max Verstappen didn't have the race pace, we saw an old school engine explosion, Mick Schumacher got his groove back, and the wooden trophies need a refresh.
