Sorry about the 2 week layoff after we thought we’d come back, but it was work commitments this time that held things up. But we finally made it! Quite a lot has happened in the last couple of weeks, so we’ve tried to compress it all into a 90 minute digest with minimal tangents (only said minimal, not none!)

There was the Italian Grand Prix with an incredible last(ish) to first drive from this year’s champpion elect, Kimi Antonelli, then the utter pointlessness of the parade around the newly build MadRing on the outskirts of Madrid’s city centre, and what an utter thrill-a-week that “race was”

There’s bits of news too, including the latest attempt by MBS to dictate not only how F1 is run, but who’s driving the cars, and a load more waffle too, At least there’s Baku to look forward to this weekend, and don’t forget everything is a day earlier than usual with the race on Saturday and don’t forget to see how you did in the Prediction League and Official F1 Fantasy League too.

And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠Discord⁠ where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with. And on the socials we’ve got our ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠BlueSky⁠ & ⁠Twitter (or is it X)⁠ and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our ⁠Twitch⁠ channel. And if you want to support us you can donate to our ⁠Patreon⁠ as well from as little as £/$/€ 1 per month

Enjoy
