The rain fell again and we all got very excited about the adventures we were about to have. I mean, it’s a wet race, they’re always chocked full of drama, thrills and spills right? RIGHT?  It had its moments but the biggest thing to take away from this race is should Mercedes have called Lewis…

Straight off their surprise win at Monza, McLaren are at it again. This time snatching Pole and leading a huge chunk of the race, alas not the final lap. I think we can all say that we enjoy wet weather races again. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as what to cover…

What is there to say about this race? Quite a lot really. McLaren finally win with a stunning 1-2 which was fully deserved, lots of corner cutting, mistakes with pit stops and Verstappen and Hamilton come together not once but twice. Thank goodness for the Halo and Hans device. We hope you enjoy. If you…

Bonus SPRINT edition (to save us cramming everything into one episode late at night) where Elton and Andy bring you some news, FP1, Qualifying for the SPRINT race, FP2 (later than scheduled) and the SPRINT race itself. We hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions as what to cover in future episodes while we’re…

This week Elton and Andy are joined by Dan (The Bottas Fan, FormulaNerds) as they discuss the Dutch GP 2021. Topics include Kimi retiring, is Bottas on his way out of Mercedes? Red flags throughout the weekend and THAT fastest lap malarky at the end of the race. We hope you enjoy. If you have…

What an absolute farce of a Sunday that was. Saturday proved exciting but two big incidents set the tone for race day. Vettel proved what a gentleman he is, Perez stuck it in the wall going to the grid and what were those laps in the beginning?  No honestly, what were they? We hope you…

After the fall out of the British GP weekend we thought Hungary would bring a quiet, uneventful jaunt through the hills…. thank goodness that was not to be as we got an absolute belter of a race from start to finish. Bottas forgot his breaking distances, Hamilton lines up on the grid on his own,…

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…
