Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why did F1 drivers go on strike in 1982?
Q: What made 1982 different in terms of driver power?
1982 featured a rare moment when a large portion of the grid united to challenge governance, signaling that drivers could exert real influence when risks and safety stakes were high, a dynamic less visible today due to sponsorship and structural changes.
Why did F1 drivers go on strike in 1982?
Q: Set the scene for me.
The episode explains how the FOCA-FIA battle climaxes in the early 1980s, with the introduction of a controversial super license and a driver block at the season opener in South Africa to press for concessions.
Is this the worst motorsports movie of all time?
Q: As an observer of both Hollywood and motorsport culture, what stood out to you most about Driven's production and its reception?
The misalignment between Star Power, rights access, and a script that went through countless drafts created a disconnect between what the film wanted to be and what audiences could buy, which is why it's memorable more for its failures than its successes.
Is this the worst motorsports movie of all time?
Q: James, welcome to No Grip.
Thanks for having me, I'm thrilled to be here and to break down a movie that was very much a product of its chaotic era in both cinema and motorsports.
What does astrology say about the 2026 F1 grid?
Q: What point did you start connecting F1 to astrology?
Mikaela explains it was a natural extension of discussing her interests online, charting drivers and memes from pop culture to the sport, which drew a community of like-minded fans.
