It is the best, the elite of motorsports.
The thing that everyone is aiming for.
The stakes are so incredibly high.
If it doesn't scare you, then it's not big enough.
From I Heart Radio and Sports Illustrated Studios, this is Choosing Sides.
F1.
Formula 1 is much more than a car race.
It merges together man and machine in a rich people's playground,
where the line between life and death is razor thin.
Whoa, this is off to a dramatic start.
I'm selling it, right?
Putting aside all of the theatrics, Formula 1 has captivated billions of people worldwide
over the past 72 years.
However, it's only now gaining a serious foothold in the States.
But even if you've already started watching F1,
you might still be missing the nuances, the history, and the teams.
I ask you this, do you even have a favorite driver?
That's where we come in.
I'm Willie Herman, a walking pop culture encyclopedia and Formula 1 expert.
And I'm Michael Costa, comedian, former pro tennis player,
current daily show correspondent, and I'm just going to be honest here.
I have not seen five seconds of a Formula 1 race.
Lily, what the heck am I doing here?
Well, you're in the right place, Michael, because by the time we're done here,
it's not only B and F1 wins, but you'll be ready to declare your loyalty to a team and a driver.
Who are these drivers, Rich Kid?
I'm very interested in this journey.
Is it just men?
When they say box, does that mean pit daddy issues?
Daddy issues galore.
Yeah, we'll get into the rules, technology, and on track rivalries.
Yeah, shut up.
But we'll also get into the salacious stories you need to know to truly understand the sport.
Jesus.
Witness intimidation and conspiracy.
We are off to a great start.
By the end of our time together, Michael will pick his team and driver.
He seems like a whiny, over-acting team principal.
And hopefully you will too.
I'm willing to be convinced.
I'm willing to become a fan of the sport.
But if I don't just give that away.
Listen to Choosing Sides F1 on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts.
Or wherever you get your podcasts.
Is that what they say in the podcast space?
It's a TV guy, I don't know.
