This week we’re looking at the World’s Cutest Dog, boobs. And if that doesn’t get you to listen this week then nothing will!

This past week was the first Formula 1 test session of the year, and Lewis Hamilton’s debut with Mercedes.

An early test session for the 2014 cars?

And Toro Rosso appears to be shifting to Renault engines.

Once we tear our eyes off of Boo “the World’s Cutest Dog” England is going to mandate microchipping dogs.

This week – we call out to you.  We’re reaching a crucial point in the life of the show.  Whether or not it continues depends on you – we need to hear from you, from all of you in order to know that we need to keep the show going.

There wasn’t a lot going on in the world of Formula 1 this week – at least not a whole lot that interested us.  We did watch Senna. As new F1 fans, we didn’t really know a whole lot about the legendary figure that Ayrton Senna truly was.  Don’t forget that later this year the Ron Howard’s new movie Rush is coming which focuses on the rivalry between James Hunt and Nikki Lauda.
