It's the final countdown...

Daniel Ricciardo and Will Arnett are teaming up to provide alternate coverage of three Formula 1 races this year on ESPN, starting with the Canadian Grand Prix next weekend.

As reported by RACER at last year’s United States Grand Prix, in similar fashion to “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” — or Manningcast — that has run since 2021, “The Grandstand with Daniel Ricciardo and Will Arnett” is designed to offer running commentary and conversation about the ongoing race, including what ESPN describes as “an array of guests” during the show.

ESPN will produce the show in collaboration with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, with the first edition from Montreal featuring Ricciardo on-site and airing on ESPN2 while the traditional telecast will be on ABC.

Have they found the money in the banana stand, or are they making a huge mistake? If you don't have any opinions one way or another the least you can do is post a vaguely topical Arrested Development reference.

I'll take Hinchcliff and Palmer instead

So is this a talk show only, or includes the race footage?

I don’t understand the question and I won’t respond to it

How much does a Ricciardo cost nowadays?

Could this mean Danny Ric is about to make a nu start, so to speak?

Oooh, Scott Stoddard's ex-wife's son!
