Happy New Regulations everyone! Yes it’s 2026 and the new F1 rules are coming into force very soon, even if the teams, F1 themselves and even the FIA aren’t 100% sure of what they are […]

It was all lined up. The penultimate race weekend of the season at a track that isn’t exactly condusive to overtakes. Lando  just needed to outscore both his rivals by 2 points over the sprint […]

As the saying goes; what happens in Vegas, stays In Vegas. And that was true about Lando Norris’s 24 point lead over 2nd place in the World Driver’s Championship after a double dq for McLaren […]

Said the greatest driver ever to come out of Brazil. Sadly a few too many of the current grid took that to heart this weekend and a few teams were left with serious repair jobs, […]

With a rare week between races, it’s a good time to take stock of what’s been going on this season and who better to do it with than VritualStatMan himself Sean Kelly. This week on […]

Track limits, leaving the track and gaining an advantage, causing a collision, not leaving space at apexes, marshals on track with cars at full speed, contentious VSC on the penultimate lap, maybe at some point […]

So Singapore then? Yes we got to see George Russell on the top step with a seemingly resurgent Max Verstappen taking 2nd, which only leaves 1 step on the podium for McLaren and this time […]

It’s been a big time for Formula 1 these past few days, we’ve had the launch of Brad Pitt’s long-awaited F1 movie coming straight after a triple header (that we managed to miss, but RIP […]

Well if that was the last Grand Prix at Imola for the forseeable future, it didn’t leave us with a sour taste in the mouth and while it wasn’t a classic race it was still […]

After the fairly restrained Japanese Grand Prix we needed a bit of a plate cleanser and that’s exactly what Bahrain served up to us for out 2nd race in the Gulf this season. A dominant […]

That about sums up 2 of the 3 most interesting things about the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. The other one was, of course, Max Verstappen’s blistering Q3 lap for pole position. But there was […]

Well they’ve done it again, RedBull have done a mid-season driver swap with RB and this time it’s a new record. Liam Lawson only got 2 races in the “big” team as Max Verstappen’s team-mate […]

2 weeks in to the 2025 F1 season and we think we all know which way the wind is blowing and also that it’s coloured Papaya! BUT it wouldn’t be an new season without a […]

Another enforced break, another comeback and another Ferrari victory. We should be getting paid by the Scuderia to take more time off! This week on the (yet another) return of the podcast we try to […]
