Formula 1 Podcast

Well that was a few days in the unhinged world of F1, we started off with an action packed British Grand Prix, which gave Lando Norris his first home win and Nico Hülkenberg his first podium in 239 starts, after some very mixed up weather conditions. And just when we thought the dust was settling in time for F1 to have the break before the official Summer break, RedBull go and pull something kind of unexpected out of the bag by...

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 the Groundhog) and then heading to Austria for what promised to be a shoot-out at RedBull's home track.

Well it didn't exacly pan out well for the team that gives you wiiings after all that (also Max didn't turn up to the movi...

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 better than some of the parades we've had round the circuit for the last 5 years since F1 made a return there in the patched together 2020 season.

This week we take a look back at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the first of 2 Italian races this season a...

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 win for McLaren's Oscar Piastri , but eith more FIA based chaos hiding beneath the surface.

This week on the podcast we look at the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw a huge number of technical gremlins strike several teams, and some very strange an...

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 fire aplenty at trackside and you've got to feel for Isack Hadjar after his seatbelts were causing him grief in what Top Gear would describe as "The Gentleman's area"

This week on the pod we try and make up things to say about one of the du...

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 to prove himself, even though he's now in his 3rd rookie season after 2 years as VCARB's super-sub.

This week on the podcast we take a deep dive into whatever the hell it is that RedBull (Mainly Helmut Marko) is playi...

Not from us though! Ferrari’s pit wall did it again after their calculated deductions that the reason that Charles’ seat was wet must have been because of water and in other news rain falls from the sky (thank you Will Buxton).

This week we look back on a season opener that had just about everything you could ask for; wheel to wheel racing, on-track passing, a bit of rain, a variety of pit strategies (once again, thatnk you Ferrari,...

Can you believe it? We have been doing this podcast for 10 whole years now! OK we haven’t been as regular as normal lately, but sad to say life happens. But as we head into a new F1 season, we’re going to make an effort to get back to some kind of regular schedule again, starting right here.

On this week’s podcast we get all over-excited about the new season starting this weekend in Australia. There’s new dr...

So it’s finally happened, this month’s “worst kept secret in F1” has come to fruition and Sergio Perez & RedBull have parted company. This has been rumoured to be happening for a while and for the last couple of months it was becoming more of a “when” than an “if”.

This week on...

Bit of a change for us, we’ve recorded this week’s show an hour after the chequered flag in one of the most penalty strewn races that we’ve seen in a while, the Qatar Grand Prix. As of approx 8:30 GMT on Sunday night, this was the finishing order we had, but we’re not 100% sure th...

He’s done it! Max Verstappen has taken his 4th World Driver’s Championship crown after it looked a bit patchy in places this season. But the current guy to beat on the grid has walked away with the title with 2 races and sprint to spare in the half conquering Re...

We’re back (again!) Not to say that 2024 has been a difficult year, but by ‘eck it has! But most of the problems are vanishing in the rear view mirror like a Sauber that you’ve just overtaken and, fingers crossed, we’re back for the rest of 24 and beyond.

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 catch up on everything we’ve missse over the last month and a half and also fit a USA Grand Prix review in as well. Has the challenge from Lando Norris fizzled out as he ended up (his own words) “driving like a Muppet” on Sunday which end...

First we’ll start with an apology for being more anonymous than your average Sauber for the last 2 months. We’ve had a few things to put up with, family stuff, Covid (again), day job stress, mental health problems and more But what a time to make a comeback!

This week on the podcast we look back at the Italian Grand Prix where once again McLaren seemed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and hand a win to the home...

Well Lewis Hamilton has finally won a race again for the first time since Jeddah 2021 and of course there were plenty of stats and new records broken so who better to discuss this week’s British Grand Prix with than VirtualStatman Sean Kelly.

This week on the podcast we veer off into our normal tangents about former drivers, along with Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch as Kieren regrets things he’s done in the past!...
