F1 is finally back after the long summer break, and so are we. This week’s live stream gets rolling with a little game: is it a George Russell insult or the name of a bird? (Harder than you think.) From there we dive into the latest silly season chatter, including the rumored Cadillac driver lineup that has us raising eyebrows. And of course, we look ahead to the rest of the season with some bold, probably wrong, predictions.

It’s the return of racing, a reset of the grid, and a reminder that while IndyCar is fun, it just can’t quite fill the Formula 1–shaped hole in our hearts.

With the Formula 1 summer break in full swing, The Fast Ones goes off-script for a laid-back live stream. There’s no set agenda—just Max and Mike talking motorsport (and whatever else comes to mind) while the world’s fastest sport takes a breather. Expect speculation on what to watch for when F1 roars back, driver and team predictions for the second half of the season, and some honest talk about why IndyCar, fun as it is, just doesn’t quite scratch the same itch.

It’s part casual hangout, part motorsport therapy session—perfect for fans needing a fix before lights go out again.

This week on The Fast Ones, Max and Mike dive headfirst into an unexpected but glorious mashup of 80s music nostalgia, steamy racing fiction, and of course, the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The episode opens with an ode to Toto—yes, the band—followed by a deep dive into their hidden connection to Michael Jackson's Thriller, and the math-rock genius of 80s studio bands. From there, things take a sharp turn as Max reveals his "book of the week": Overtake My Heart, a Daniel Ricciardo-themed erotic novel that's somehow both hilarious and unsettling—and might just have been written by the Honey Badger himself.

When the tire smoke clears, the guys break down the Hungarian GP: Lando’s redemption win, Oscar’s quiet dominance, Charles Leclerc’s cryptic radio messages, George Russell’s whiny post-race meltdown, and Aston Martin’s mysterious return to form. There’s also love for Ollie Bearman, speculation about Lewis Hamilton’s future (is he retiring or just dropping merch?), and a passionate defense of Haas—the only F1 team you really need to root for.

It's part racing analysis, part fever dream, and all gas, no brakes.

Max and Mike return to The Fast Ones with a high-octane mix of vintage car nostalgia, race recaps, and motorsport drama. Max reviews the Steve McQueen classic Bullitt for the first time, praising its legendary car chase and effortlessly cool vibes. The duo then dive into NASCAR history with Bubba Wallace's epic Brickyard 400 win—celebrating Bubba's comeback, his playoff qualification, and a personal story involving a Leica camera.

Then, it's all about Spa. From Oscar Piastri’s gritty opening move to Lando Norris’s cautious driving, they break down the wet-and-wild F1 weekend, the sprint drama, and Lewis Hamilton’s fierce critique of Ferrari—plus what it means for the Scuderia’s future. The episode also spotlights Yuki Tsunoda’s surprise performance, Nico Rosberg’s spicy gridwalk burns, and Kimmy Antonelli’s moment with Lewis.

A passionate, hilarious, and insightful ride from start to finish—don't miss it.

After the emergency podcast, Mike and Max took some time to reflect on the legacy of Christian Horner. After about 5 minutes of that, they began fighting about 80's pop culture again. Aside from all that, it's RACE WEEK. We'll take a look at what to expect from the upcoming race, talk predictions, and find some way to roast George Russell.

Mike and Max decided that an emergency live broadcast was in order following the news that Red Bull team boss, Christian Horner, was fired with immediate effect. Somehow they found a way to tie it to some 80's film and digress into an argument over which power ballad would be best suited for this moment.

Mike and Max take this opportunity to honor their fellow Haas Boy, Nico Hulkenberg. They'll then spend some time roasting other drivers, inevitably fighting over 80's power ballads, and then last - but certainly not least - Henry "The Haas Chap" Wallace reports from his weekend at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Let's be real, we can talk about the race or we can talk the movie...
