Hometown Hero(es) Go 1-2 (Monaco Grand Prix Reaction)

The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix will not go down in history as the most memorable Grand Prix in Formula 1 history…except for the fact that Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc FINALLY beat his home race curse and won in the principality for the first time.

But that was really the only thing going for the race.

(Pro tip: if you didn’t watch live, watch the opening laps, and then skip ahead to about Lap 75. There’s really not much to see in the middle)

In today’s episode, Kathryn & Emily discuss:

-Our favorite custom Monaco helmets for the weekend (and why Lando Norris' helmets are always awesome)

-Why Prince Albert of Monaco was probably the highlight of the whole weekend

-Oscar Piastri’s adoption into the Leclerc family and how F1 social media is some of the best social media on the internet.

-Our disappointment in F1 driver fashion this season, except for Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton

-The opening lap disaster of a crash between Haas’ Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez

-What even George Russell’s race strategy was

-The great radio calls all weekend long

-ALL the drama at Alpine, especially in light of Ocon making contact with Gasly. Again.

-Why we’re not going to know until 2 weeks in Canada how the grid is shaping up in light of the Imola upgrades

-Relived our Monaco predictions (which went as badly as you expected)

-If Monaco should still remain on the F1 calendar in light of this year’s race

-And more
