What a scorcher of a weekend with Friday Qualifying, the first ever Sprint Race on a Saturday (They were racing, so yes, it’s a race) and a highly contentious opening lap of the British Grand Prix on the Sunday. And if you don’t agree with us, we’ll get Toto to write a sternly worded email…

A much better race this time out with drivers being told not to dawdle at turns 9 and 10, Mick Schumacher dawdling at turn 9, Vettel dawdling at turn 10, Russel making it to Q3 and penalties being issued for fun during the race. All this and more in this weeks Grand Prix Podcast. We…

The Styrian GP came, went and we move on to the next race. This time out we learnt that pit stops will be changing ever so slightly, the pit lane is not a place to spin, Russell was close to scoring a point & the French GP was more entertaining than this race. Let us…

The internet is clearly divided on this race. Some think it was an awesome cat and mouse chess match at 180mph, while others think it was a bit of a non-event. We’ll let you decide for yourselves where we stand on this. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as what to cover…

Baku throws up a mixture of a race with Bottas turning up late and then punching a Mercedes shaped hole for his team mate, lots of broken wings during practice and 4 red flags halting qualifying. Leclerc grabbing a surprise Pole, 2 punctures and a bizarre sprint to the flag round off the weekend. We…

Monaco once again proves it has no business being on the Formula 1 calendar by producing one of the dullest races of the past 10 years, so Elton and Andy do their best to  make it entertaining. Did Leclerc bin his FIAT into the wall on purpose? Cheeky Red Bull asking to swap sides of…

This week Elton and Andy have a game of chess at 200 mph in, what we thought, was a very enjoyable and intriguing Grand Prix. We see (or didn’t because of the adverts…) Tsunoda throw his toys out, drivers forming a queue during qualifying, whispers that Bottas will be working for Red Bull in their…

This week Elton and Andy try to keep things between the lines, unlike some of the drivers, the soap box comes out, sprint races are now a real thing and there was a race in Portugal. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as what to cover in future episodes while we’re all…

Three weeks after the first race of the season we head to Imola for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Will the 2021 season continue to live up to the hype of the first race? You bet it will, with rain sprinkling the circuit before the race we ended up with drama, talking points, crashes and…

The first Formula 1 race of the 2021 season is upon us and it’s not in Australia, nope, we’re in Bahrain. Do Red Bull have what it takes to dethrone Mercedes? Will Fiat regain their name? Will Vettel have a clean race? And will that bitchy comment that Horner made mid race come back to…

Welcome back to Grand Prix Podcast 2021. School is back in, we all have new uniforms, our shoes hurt a little and look at our brand new ties. This week Elton and Andy start off the season in regular fashion by seeing how pretty the cars look. We hope you enjoy. If you have any…

And with that, the 2020 Formula 1 season ends with a whimper as we finish the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.  Lewis Hamilton returns….. but should he have? Kimi catches on fire, Renault bring the best toy to the last day of term and Perez doesn’t get the finish he deserves. We forgot…

After last weeks heart stopper of a race, all we wanted was a nice chilled procession around a dull track so we can think of the finer things that life has to offer. Alas that was not be as we were given an absolute belter of a race at the Sakhir Grand Prix 2020. Hamilton…

Thank goodness Roman Grosjean is okay. A dramatic crash which set all our hearts racing opened up the Bahrain GP 2020, and to be honest, most of this weeks episode is about that incident. In other events Stroll did a roll, Perez blew an engine and Albon finished on the podium. We hope you enjoy….

We head back to Istanbul for the 2020 Turkish GP where the track is so new, the tarmac is still cooling off after being laid. Lance Stroll surprises everyone with a maiden pole position, Bottas can’t stop spinning (think the puddle should go in the Hall of Fame – what do you think? I’ve only…

Another “New Track” as we head to the Emil….. Emila…. Emilia Romgga….. San Marino, Imola. That’s a name we haven’t heard in a long time, a long time. So what does the Emilia Romagna GP have in store? How about driver seat are confirmed, 1 day less of practice, a Williams out qualifying a Fiat…

New track this week, we head to the Algarve for the Portuguese GP where we find Lance Stroll has tested positive for Covid-19 but it’s ok because that was two weeks ago, Lance Stroll tangles with Max Verstappen in free practice, Lance Stroll is a little rusty and Lance Stroll has a coming together with…

This week we travel to Germany for the Eifel GP where FP1 & 2 are washed out, Lando calls tech support, Albon is off to sit on the naughty step Ricciardo gets a podium and Grosjean is very brave. All this and a tiny bit more. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions…

If you have any suggestions as what to cover in future episodes while we’re all in lockdown, then please email us @…. boxboxbox@grandprixpodcast.com.

Welcome Comrades to this weeks episode of Grand Prix Podcast where comrade Elton and comrade Andy take you though possibly the best Russian Grand Prix we’ve ever had. Comrade Vettel crashes in qualifying, was comrade Hamilton a naughty boy before the race? comrade Sainz had a scary incident and the comrades name the corners of…

Formula 1 has its first race around the Mugello circuit for the Tuscan Grand Prix where there is action aplenty with three Safety Cars, Two Red Flags and a ton of very expensive car broken at the side of the road. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as what to cover in…

We return to Monza with the possibility of having the quickest race ever, 1hr 15 and we’re done, pack up and move on to the next race but thankfully we didn’t get that. Instead we ended up with pretty much everything we’ve been wanting. We got drama, spills and thrills, crashes, yellow flags, red flags,…

We were promised rain. All week there were reports of thunderstorms and a promise of a rain soaked track running through Belgium. Alas it was not to be, instead we got the Mercedes running off and hiding, Renault putting in an impressive shift, and Ferrari (which we have renamed) struggling at the back. All this…

This episode we find ourselves back in Barcelona for the 2020 Spanish GP. Perez is back in the driving seat, Ocon does his best ‘exit, stage left’ impression, 20 car went round in circles for the best part of and hour and a half, and Vettel didn’t spin.  That’s it, there is no more. We…

Elton and Andy are back for the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix where we find Perez ‘may’ have taken a holiday during a pandemic, his replacement Hulkenberg puts in an impressive performance, Mercedes struggle with their tyres, Verstappen wins in style and Vettel spins yet again. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as…

:::BREAKING NEWS::: or should that be Braking News? Who can tell?  Anyway, Elton & Andy are hoping for a superb race on Sunday with lots to talk about, but that would mean an absolute monster of an episode with tons of news and talking points. So the chaps have decided to bring you their thoughts…

We’re back to the British GP where Perez misses out due to Covid-19 so Hulkenberg takes his place, Grosjean is weaving all over the place, Andy is renaming corners and there’s puncture after puncture after puncture and yet Hamilton still wins. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as what to cover in…
