The Shakedown (not a test) is over and the cars are heading out to Bahrain for not only the actual pre-season test (not a shakedown) but also the 1st race of the 2022 season with […]

After a couple of false alarms (we’re looking at you Haas &  RedBull) we finally got to see some real life cars in the last week with the McLaren & Aston Martin launches, and don’t […]

A slightly belated Happy New Year from all of us on the podcast. We did plan on doing a season review, but how do you easily sum up a year like 2021? Simple answer is […]

There were so many names we could have given this week’s podcast given the controversial nature of the 2021 season finale in Abu Dhabi this past weekend. But we’ve decided to err on the side […]

Are any of us sure what we watched at the weekend? In all the years of F1 I don’t think any of us have seen a race quite like the first ever Saudi Arabian Grand […]

Another Grand Prix and another aero related controversy. This time it was all over the question about some suspect markings on the Mercedes rear wings. Once again the battle between the 2 main antagonists (not […]

Well that was a weekend in Brazil that will be talked about for a long time to come and may not be all sorted yet as the pod comes out. The newly renamed Sao Paolo […]

Another race back on the calendar after the madness that was 2020 is the Mexico City Grand Prix (formerly known as the Mexico Grand Prix.) With a new name to reflect that it’s the city […]

The US Grand Prix is always a major spectacle and this year was no exception as the organisers of the Austin race went all out to make up for missing out on a race in […]

First I want to say a massive thanks to everyone (literally hundreds of you) that got in touch after my message last week and the best way I could think of to say thank you […]

Sorry we’ve been away for a couple of weeks and missed the aftermath of the Russian Grand Prix, we’re still upset about the whole thing over a week later and it’s taken that long to […]

This weekend’s Italian Grand Prix broke a few losing streaks, we got to see the first McLaren win since 2012, the first 1-2 by the papaya team since 2010 and the first Daniel Ricciardo winning […]

The return of the Dutch Grand Prix finally happened a year late thanks to the turmoil of 2020 and that was an atmosphere worth waiting for. We all knew beforehand that the circuit would be […]

By now the dust and spray has settled on what has been called a farce of a Belgian Grand Prix and with the benefit of a good night’s sleep and a chance to calm down […]

Fresh off the back of the British Grand Prix controversy, all we needed was for things to get back to normal before the F1 summer break right? Well we didn’t get that did we! 6 […]

I think we can safely say that was a British Grand Prix like no other before it. Qualifying on Friday evening, the first ever F1 Sprint (don’t call it a) race on Saturday afternoon and […]

Formula 1 is the only real thing that is 100% guaranteed to come home every year, only by dint of the fact that the 1st world championship race was at Silverstone, so we can count […]

Just like last year, Austria gave us a better race than Styria for some reason, although Mercedes probably wouldn’t agree after another dominant race for Max Verstappen (he got the grand slam of win, pole […]

We’re 2 races into the 1st of 3 (correct at time of going to press) triple-headers this season and they’ve both had something in common, no it wasn’t the fact that the Styrian GP was […]

Nobody saw that coming did they, an action packed French Grand Prix with racing all the way up and down the grid and RedBull out-Mercedesing Mercedes to take the win as well. This week on […]

Well that made up for Monaco didn’t it! This year’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix had it all; red flags, cars out of position, blocking & passing and that was just Saturday’s qualifying session! This week on […]

The saying goes that good things come to those who wait and this week it’s not 100% true as we’re 2 days later than normal thanks to that good old excuse of real life getting […]

So the Monaco Grand Prix then, the annual parade (don’t we say this every year?) This time at least there was a bit of drama with 2 of the top 3 qualifiers not making it […]

It’s Monaco week and we hope that the McLaren Gulf livery reveal isn’t the most exciting thing to come out of this weekend’s race, but as it’s the Monaco Grand Prix, we’re not holding our […]

A bit of a rarity for once, we had a Spanish Grand Prix that wasn’t a flag to flag parade, we got to see both strategy and on-track overtakes, something that we’ve not had too […]
