Australian GP Review Russell Wins & Office Feng Shui – Monkey Seat S7E138

<p>A comedy Formula 1 podcast reviewing the Australian Grand Prix, George Russell’s win for Mercedes, Ferrari strategy chaos and the latest F1 discussion.<em>Season 7 of The Monkey Seat rolls on — proving Tom and Karl have now spent seven years confidently misunderstanding Formula 1.</em></p><p>In <strong>Episode 138</strong>, the lads review the <strong>Australian Grand Prix</strong>, where <strong>George Russell takes the win and Mercedes suddenly look frighteningly dominant</strong>. Is it a sign of things to come in 2026… or just the annual Melbourne madness? Either way, the boys have opinions — and as usual, they don’t line up.</p><p>Meanwhile <strong>Ferrari strategy strikes again</strong>, Aston Martin turn out to be <strong>less terrible than expected</strong>, and the discussion drifts into the <strong>general state of modern F1</strong>. Drivers complaining, fans complaining, everyone complaining — except Tom, who firmly believes they should <strong>stop whining and just drive the cars</strong>.</p><p>Somewhere in the middle of all this, Tom goes on a surprisingly educational <strong>mini history of Formula 1</strong>, explaining why change in the sport isn’t just inevitable… <strong>it’s essential</strong>.</p><p>And because this is <em>The Monkey Seat</em>, things quickly descend into chaos. <strong>Karl begins redesigning his office layout live during the podcast</strong>, furniture is apparently moving mid-recording, and the <strong>YouTube chat joins the madness</strong> with live banter throughout the episode.</p><p>Expect <strong>Driver of the Day debates, Dick of the Day accusations, off-topic tangents, and the usual Monkey Seat nonsense</strong> — because if you’re here for professional analysis, you’re definitely in the wrong garage.</p><p>If you want serious F1 discussion, head over to <strong>Grid Talk</strong>. But if you prefer your <strong>Australian GP review with chaos, sarcasm, and interior design updates</strong>, you’re exactly where you should be.</p><p>Catch Tom and Karl behaving slightly more professionally on the <strong>Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk</strong> on all socials.</p><p>Check out <strong>f1chronicle.com</strong> for motorsport articles written by people who use punctuation, and visit <strong>linktr.ee/gridtalkuk</strong> for the full Grid Talk universe.</p><p>Find <strong>The Monkey Seat</strong> on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn and Breaker — or just shout <em
