Formula First - Looking back at debut seasons in the WCC

“Send us a Hey Now!”

It's an off week before we head to Singapore so this week we decided to take a look at how Cadillac might get on based on the debut seasons of the last seven new WCC entrants.

We start back in 1991 with Jordan and come all the way up to 2016 with Haas.

What can these teams tell us about what life is like in your first season on the grid?

Best listen and find out!

Episode running order as always is...

1) News & Social

• All the best bits from both the sports news out there as well as what caught our eye on the various social channels

2) Brian's Video Vault        

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THU-VqOnHTg&pp=0gcJCesJAYcqIYzv. Lewis Hamilton And Charles Leclerc Swap Video Games - Part 2 | “What buttons am I pressing?” 🎮. Ferrari channel. 5 mins. This was great, again. Part 1 was fun, if it gave Charles some “little brother energy”. but when they played fifa and lewis had a penalty kick and Charles is TOTALLY STARING at Lewis’s controller…
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NGjLIxlI2Y. The Rule Behind F1 Driver Weigh-Ins | "Weight is everything for us”. Ferrari channel. 3 mins. Was good. two things I didn’t know, the limit went up to 82 kilos (vs 80) and the long-term aspect of having a consistent weight so the team can plan. wow. 180.8 lbs, in case you were wondering.
