This is the fifth episode in our Meet the 2023 Grid series - Alfa Romeo F1 Team!
Join us, Alex and Courtney/Queens of the Paddock - QotP for short - as we dive into each of the F1 teams on the 2023 grid! We will be discussing each team's history and getting to know their key players a bit better. You know we aren't surface level - this is the pod for you if you want to know back stories and insta conspiracies as well as listen to us banter about super random topics. I've included timestamps below so you can easily get to the information you need. Enjoy!! :D
