Top Performing F1 Podcast “The Red Flags Podcast” Hosted by Brian Muller and Matt Elisofon Joins Vox Media

Vox Media, the leader in modern media, announced its latest podcast partnership with The Red Flags Podcast, the #1 Formula 1 focused podcast produced in the U.S., hosted by longtime friends Brian Muller and Matt Elisofon. Launched in 2021 after they became obsessed with Drive to Survive, The Red Flags Podcast series reimagines Formula 1 through an entertainment-first lens, offering a fresh perspective for longtime fans and newcomers alike. The show blends insightful commentary with humor to explore the personalities, rivalries, and cultural moments that make F1a high-speed spectacle both on and off the track. 

Building on the success of The Red Flags Podcast, Muller and Elisofon also launched a special series, Vankah Hours, where they are joined by former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner. Every Wednesday, they share insightful predictions and behind-the-scenes perspectives about racing teams.

“We’ve always considered our podcast to be the dumbest show in the Formula 1 space, so joining the smartest network in podcasting feels like the ultimate thought experiment,” said Muller and Elisofon. “Honestly we can’t wait to see how this plays out — whether Vox Media makes us smarter or we bring them down to our level. Either way, it’ll be as thrilling as the sport itself.”

“I have managed teams without money or resources for years so when I started Vankah Hours with Matt and Brian it felt close to home… unfortunately,” said Steiner. “Now we’re joining Vox Media and all of a sudden people are taking us seriously. I have no idea how this happened. Neither does Matt. Neither does Brian. But here we are, and we are not going to ask too many questions.”

“Brian and Matt have built the definitive F1 podcast for the Drive to Survive generation that also speaks to the diehards,” said Lillian Xu, vice president of podcasts at Vox Media. “Together with Guenther, they have created a deeply informed, irreverent, unfailingly fun show and we’re so excited to partner with them and grow the business together.” 

At Vox Media, The Red Flags Podcast joins one of the largest U.S. podcast publishers and a slate of influential series including Pretty Tough with Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova, Bird’s Eye View hosted by world-renowned athlete Sue Bird, Pivot hosted by journalist Kara Swisher and entrepreneur Scott Galloway, The Curiosity Shop hosted by research professor Brené Brown and organizational psychologist Adam Grant, and more.
