Singapore Grand Prix Preview & Andretti Rumors Picking Up Steam | Grid Walk September 14, 2023

Grid Walk

Things get HEATED on the new episode of Grid Walk and not just because Briana’s AC is currently broken! Briana and Nicole have (almost) recovered from the return of the NFL. Briana shares how the NFL and Formula 1 can learn from each other! This weekend is about to get even crazier because it is an F1 RACE WEEKEND along with the football! (Thank goodness the Eagles play on Thursday.)

Before diving into a bunch of Formula 1 fun, Briana and Nicole take a moment to condemn the recent unacceptable comments made by Helmut Marko. Sergio Perez deserves better.

It is time for the F1 night race, the Singapore Grand Prix! Briana gives you everything you need to know about the track changes made to the Marina Bay Street Circuit. How will this new layout of the Singapore Grand Prix affect the race? Grid Walk also goes over the Pirelli tire graphic! With the 100% rate of safety car at the Singapore Grand Prix will we see every F1 driver start on hard tires and hope for a one stop race?

The battle to avoid an ice bath continues with Grid Walk’s predictions for the Singapore Grand Prix! Have Briana and Nicole been speaking too much because these predictions are getting wild? It is basically a guarantee that the competition will continue to be close after the Singapore Grand Prix. Will Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team end up on the podium with Fernando Alonso? Will Williams Racing driver Alex Albon be able to continue his points streak on the Marina Bay Street Circuit?

Rumor has it, recently rebranded (which is not at all related to this rumor…), Andretti Global will be receiving approval to join the Formula 1 grid from the FIA any day now. This is the perfect opportunity to bring back a Grid Walk favorite, the F1 Ring! The F1 Ring is the best way for the FIA, FOM, Liberty Media, Andretti Global, the 10 F1 Teams (BWT Alpine F1 Team delivering an opposing opinion) to fight it out!

There has been a little bit of a hiatus of Grid Walk’s Formula 1 X pop culture segment, Gossip Grid! Briana and Nicole talk about how the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and WGA (Writers Guild of America) may be affecting Formula 1? What other aspects could have caused the lack of Formula 1 in pop culture? There is some good news, the Gossip Grid hiatus is over! Nicole finally has enough F1 in pop culture to share and it’s a grand return! Nicole’s favorite Twitch streamer named a Sims baby after Max Verstappen??? What is happening during the pit stop of the Brad Pitt F1 movie? What comes in the “Checo Menu” at McDonalds? Mclaren F1 Team’s driver, Lando Norris was spotted wearing a friendship bracelet but what does it say???
