The RIP crew breaks down the wild summer run of the 2025 F1 season — from Monaco to Baku — with all the chaos, drama, and championship swings in between. We get into McLaren’s dominance and the Norris vs. Piastri tension, Ferrari’s heartbreak at home, Mercedes’ flashes of brilliance, and Verstappen’s uncertain fight to stay in the hunt. From Christian Horner’s shock exit to Nico Hülkenberg’s long-overdue podium, nothing is off-limits. We even touch on Roscoe Hamilton, future engine rules, and why this season might go down as one of the most dramatic in recent memory.

The RIP crew sits down with Devon from Skorost Auto — the young founder with a wild deadline: build a prototype hypercar in just one year and unveil it at Monterey Car Week 2026. Together, we break down where the name “Skorost” came from, the spark that is pushing him from sketches to a real build, and the gritty reality of trying to launch a hypercar brand out of nothing. We dig into CAD models, carbon dreams, and the all-nighters in the shop, plus the pressure of matching legends like Koenigsegg and Pagani who started in the same underdog lane. Devon opens up about investors, timelines, and whether a one-off prototype can actually shake Monterey’s hypercar elite, a true battle of David versus Goliath.

This week, Braden Sadler joins Gio to fire up the hottest internal combustion headlines from the last two months. From Toyota doubling down on gas engines and teasing a factory V8 Supra, to Corvette rewriting Nürburgring history with the ZR1X, to the jaw-dropping possibility of Mercedes running BMW powerplants — the ICE world is anything but dead. Plus, Ford’s track-focused Mustang GTD, GM’s “internal combustion renaissance,” and the latest acceleration wars prove that gearheads still have plenty to celebrate.
