The Pitstop Pals are back and Nielson and Gager return for a third season of the podcast that's by F1 Fans for F1 Fans. 

The Pitstop Pals take a look at the key storylines heading into the 2024 F1 season! Will Red Bull run away with another championship? How does Mercedes manage Lewis in his final season before leaving for Ferrari? What will this season look like for Sainz as he looks for a new seat? Can McLaren pick up where they left off? Which bottom end team could make a jump into the top five?

Dusty and Gage also give you their top predictions for the upcoming season.

Lights Out and Away We Go! 

Nielson and Gager are back with another episode of The Pitstop Pals breaking down the Japanese Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen regains his spot at the top of the podium but a red letter day for McLaren as they do double podium with Piastri tasting it for the first time.

Mercedes with some hard racing between Lewis and Russell, where does that go from here?

 Ferrari with your typical Ferrari day.

If Edmonton had an F1 street race what route would you use?

After an "extended summer break" the Pitstop Pals are back with Nielson and Gager going lights out on the Singapore Grand Prix! 

Max Verstappen doesn't win and isn't near the top end of the pack and it leads to one of the best finishes of the season. 

How brilliant of it was Sainz and Norris to work together to fend off a charging pair of Mercedes. Heartbreak for Russell on the final lap! 

Is the pack realistically closing in on Red Bull and could they find the pace of the RB by the end of the season? 

What has happened to Aston Martin and who will finish second in the constructors standings?

** I apologize for the delay in episodes, me and the team at Edmonton Sports Talk were basically working around the clock to get our new online sports station up and running! We appreciate the support and the Pitstop Pals are ready to go the rest of the way!

The Pitstop Pals are back as Nielson and Gager dive into the Hungarian Grand Prix!

Were we treated to the best qualifying session of the season and does Formula 1 need to make the change to this format for next season? Also, should we find it strange that a massive company like F1 will test random things of significance in the middle of a season?

Lewis starts on pole but it doesn't last long as Max and the McLaren's gobble him up! Riccardo impresses in his first race back. Checo has a bounce back race but will it continue! 

Dusty takes a look at the Belgian GP odds over at Coolbet Canada and the boys take a look at their new logo for the Pitstop Pals!

Light outs!

Dusty and Gager get together to recap the British Grand Prix but end up spending the first five minutes of the episode talking about Danny Riccardo returning to the circuit in an Alpha Tauri.

What does Riccardo need to accomplish the rest of the way this season to get into the second Red Bull car next season? 

Red Bull has won 11 races in a row, is that good or bad for the sport?

McLaren has jumped up to the group of teams now contending to finish second behind Verstappen in races. Is it sustainable? Could we see other teams have a similar improvement this season? 

Another podium for Lewis and more dissapointment for Ferrari! Light outs!

The boys finally got together to break down the Canadian Grand Prix, sorry for the delay, Dusty got fired. :)

Verstappen roles to another victory but outside of that there we lots of stories to discuss. Alonso vs Hamilton, as we saw in Montreal, could end up being the story of the season unless one of them could find a way to starting challenging the Red Bull. 

McLaren's Piastri and Norris finished in 11th & 13th but seemed to have a better drive than their end result. 

Ferrari finished 4th and 5th for one of their better races of the season but Gager still thought they looked like an absolute mess. 

A quick look ahead to Austria and Dusty watched Rush and the boys talk about how awesome of movie that was.

Another week and another win for Red Bull and Max Verstappen. A great start to the Spanish Grand Prix with Lando getting into some trouble and needing to pit while George Russell flew up through the field. 

Is Red Bull going to win every single race this season? Has Mercedes reclaimed their spot in the top two as upgrades appear to make a significant impact with Lewis winning driver of the day and Russell driving enough to win that honour. 

McLaren qualifies well and then completely blows it. Charles Leclerc struggles in qualifying and Sainz can't keep up with the big boys during the race.

Nielson finally watched Ford vs Ferraria and the Pitstop Pals take a look ahead to the Canadian GP.

A relatively entertaining weekend in Monaco, a city where Dusty and Gager plan on relocating too if The Pitstop Pals could somehow grow by about a million downloads per episode ;) 

The weekend started with the best qualifying session of the year with Max Verstappen stealing a pole from Alonso at the last second! A very impressive qualifying session from Ocon gives Alpine a podium and their best finish off the year. 

The boys discuss Mercedes new sidepods and speculation about Ferrari being interested in Lewis Hamilton for next season! 

Ferrari stumbles again and nobody on that team is happy! 

The episode wraps with some thoughts on Spain and ofcourse what everyone is talking about....the bottoms of the cars, have we finally witnessed the secret to Red Bull's success!

Back to back weekends for Formula 1 as the hottest racing ciruit in the world visits Miami. Dusty and Gager start the episode with some discussion on celebrity sightings in the paddock and how hiliarous the helmets for the pitcrew look while they are watching the race on TV.

Max Verstappen cruises past the top end of the field and eventually passes his teammate for a second time and rolls to a victory. Dusty can't stand Max but he was once again very impressed by his abilities this weekend. Nielson also found a way to finally get some betting value on Verstappen over at Coolbet Canada. 

Alonso hits the podium, Mercedes likely out performs expectations and Ferrari with another MEH weekend. 

The boys also dive in the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie!

After a layoff that was WAY TOO LONG, figure it out Formula 1, the circuit finally return at Baku. 

Dusty and Gage are back to break it all down. Gager loved the weekend even if the actual main race was the least exciting part of it. Two thumbs up from Gage for the new format for sprint weekends while Nielson remains undecided on how he feels about. 

Red Bull runs away from the pack but it's Checo who get's the job done and is now pushing Max, much to the dismay of Max and Horner. Verstappen vs Russell is a rivalry we are here for. 

The boys also discussion Leclerc best weekend of the year, Hamilton over achieving in the tractor of a Mercedes ride and ofcourse a quick look ahead to Miami!
