Japanese Grand Prix Review with Bryson Sullivan (NaturalParadigm) | Grid Walk September 28, 2023

Grid Walk

This is a very special episode of Grid Walk as Briana and Nicole welcome their inaugural guest, Bryson Sullivan (NaturalParadigm)! Bryson is an engineer and motorsports enthusiast so Grid Walk is honored to have him join the podiums and recap of the Japanese Grand Prix!

The trio discusses the reality of Oracle Red Bull Racing’s “return” to the top (not that Oracle Red Bull Racing ever really left it). F1 constantly feels like a reality TV show so Briana’s podium of Reality TV Show Moments of the Japanese Grand Prix is incredibly on brand! Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and BWT Alpine F1 Team calling team orders creates the perfect recipe for great reality television. It seems that the F1 camera crew are fans of The Office?? Nicole shares her Most Memorable Quotes of the Japanese Grand Prix weekend! How did Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen continue his streak of “colorful language?” What are the realistics options for Liam Lawson and a seat in Formula 1?

Did you know that Max Verstappen doesn’t like podcasts??? Well then he’ll miss Grid Walk’s discussion of Oracle Red Bull Racing clinching the Constructors' World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix! It seems like it is inevitable that Max Verstappen will secure the Drivers’ World Championship at the Sprint Race for the Qatar Grand Prix.

There seems to be drama afoot at Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, we all heard it on the team radio at the Japanese Grand Prix… It’s time the conversation about George Russell leaves the F1 group chat and is part of Grid Walk. Did George Russell forget that he is teammates with 7 time World Champion Lewis Hamilton? If George Russell wants Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team to secure second in the Constructors' World Championship it is time to get real about driving “for the team.”

Nicole delivers a JAM PACKED Gossip Grid, giving you everything you need to know about Formula 1 and pop culture! The Puma x Formula 1 Suzuka collection is a MUST HAVE! Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s driver Lewis Hamilton and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake’s driver Zhou Guanyu both had awesome collaborations with artists for the Japanese Grand Prix! Did Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc audition to model for Scuderia Ferrari?? Why is Jamie Foxx driving an F1 car in Las Vegas? How can Formula 1 learn from what was once the NO FUN LEAGUE a.k.a the NFL? Taylor Swift broke the internet and basically everything this weekend when she attended Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on Travis Kelce. Somehow the craziest part of this is, the NFL leaning into a female audience?! What does the NFL’s social media and viewership numbers from Sunday show about what happens when a league caters to their female fanbase?

Did Sergio “Checo” Perez solidify losing his Oracle Red Bull Racing seat at the Japanese Grand Prix? Does Oracle Red Bull Racing care about their second seat being competitive to Max Verstappen? Why does Lando Norris feel like the elephant in the room of this conversation?Grid Walk is a weekly Formula 1 show that releases every Thursday.
