Season 2 Episode 36 - Italian GP - Monza Magic + Max's Monumental Moment


F1 headed to the home of Ferrari this week as we rocked up in Monza for the Italian GP.


Max had the chance to make it ten in a row and set a new Formula One record in the process while Ferrari were hoping to deliver something for the home crowd.

We usually find ourselves loving the Monza qualifying but then not finding as much entertainment in the race itself.  This year was definitely different as Monza served up a beauty of a race.

Brackley FC - When F1 met Footy

Image
So, what do you do when it's the second long break of the F1 season and there will be no action on track until COTA at the end of October?    Maybe creating a fictional football club (soccer for those Dirty Siders from the US) on EAFC24 on the PS4 where the only players you are allowed to have in your squad must have names linked to Formula 1 isn't the first thing that springs to mind.  However, that's exactly what Rob did. The mission was to create a new team and place them in League Two before embarking on a campaign to reach the Premier League before lights out at COTA. This is the story of the epic journey one man and a football club went on... First things first - I needed a manager, team name, stadium name, and kit designs.  The first name that came to mind was Brackley FC who would play their home games at Silverstone. Then it was on to the design process for the kits.  As this was trying to be a generic F1 themed team I decided to try and incorporate a f...

F1 Reloaded - Drive of the machines

Image
And that's when the machines became self-aware... ChatGPT is not exactly a new thing but here at the Dirty Side we hadn't really had a play with it. If you are not familiar with the concept then here is a summary of exactly what it is courtesy of ChatGPT itself when we asked it "What is ChatGPT?": "ChatGPT is a conversational language model developed by OpenAI. It is trained on a large dataset of human-generated text, and is able to understand and respond to text input in a manner similar to a human. It can be used to generate human-like responses in a variety of contexts, such as chatbots, language translation, and text summarization." You cannot ask it for opinions as it will state that it is a language model and as such cannot have personal preferences. It comes into it's own when you ask it for more fact driven responses. With that in mind we decided to ask it some F1 based questions.   We decided to ease our way in with a chat regarding the Netflix ...

If 1980's TV & Film took over Formula 1...

Image
  Coming to a track near you in 2026 The F1 news cycle was busy filling it's pages with the announcement that Audi will partner with Sauber from 2026 onwards.  There was much excitement despite it being so far away and the internet was awash with images like the one above of a concept livery for the team. This got us thinking over at Dirty Side headquarters. What liveries would we like to see on F1 cars? Being men of a certain age we were instantly drawn to the idea of what if 1980 TV & film replaced all the constructors?   What would that grid look like?    We sat down and came up with our favorite 10 shows and films from the 1980s and have created a livery based on each. If you are a child of the 80s maybe just look at the pictures first and try to spot all the elements within each one.   For those of you not familiar with them, we've got a little write up on them and a cheat sheet for the elements.  Here, in no order other than alphabe...
