With thunderstorms threatening to disrupt proceedings, the weekend schedule was shaken up before a wheel had even turned. Teams also arrived with a raft of upgrades as they tried to close the gap to Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.

“Send us a Hey Now!”

It's week two in this mini-break from F1 but we have an absolute belter of an episode as we have an awesome pair of guests!

Dan and Patrick are the hosts of the Midfield Podcast and we have been guests on their pod, but they have never graced the Dirty Side (despite what Rob thinks) until now.

We chat to them about things they can't normally discuss such as race winners given that they focus purely on th...

“Send us a Hey Now!”

The season is into it's third race and we have our review of the Japanese GP.

We discuss the action on track and debate how we are feeling about these regs.

Has F1 taken a wrong turn with them or are we enjoying the action on track?

The drivers certainly have had a lot to say about them.

“Send us a Hey Now!”

We find ourselves in an off week before the F1 circus rocks up in Japan.

Therefore this episode features a Japanese GP preview as we look towards how we think the current cars will perform on the Suzuka track.

In addition we have an amazing feature where we decide which 80s TV show would each team be because why not!

It's a huge blast down memory lane as we decide which characters the drivers would be and do i...

Well testing is over and now we wait for the new season to start! 

We reflect on what all three testing sessions told (or didn't tell) us, we reflect on moments of innovation, impact of new regs, and we also rank where we think each team is based on what we know.
