Once again the sun sets on a season in Abu Dhabi. This week Christian Horner is stirring things up, Laurence Stroll is in the market for a new son, Sainz struggles and Perez gets a 5 second penalty. Also, for those keeping track, Verstappen didn’t need to turn up to the last 10 races. We…

We were all worried that the Las Vegas GP would be over hyped, a bit of a farce and over all too much of our senses.  How wrong were we, granted it didn’t start very well and the bit in the middle wasn’t great but when the race started, we were all pleasantly surprised. We…

The sprints are over and we’re looking forward to the Sau Paulo GP (formally know as the Brazilian GP), where Leclerc doesn’t make the start of the race, the race is bookended with drama, Bernie (remember him?…) looks lost and Mercedes look slow again. We hope you enjoy. Warning: this podcast occasionally contains strong language (which…

We’re in Brazil for the last SPRINT (Fun Size) weekend of the season.

Warning: this podcast occasionally…

Snap back to reality and Verstappen winning. This week, at the Japanese GP, we see Logan Sargeant and Sergio Perez both raising their heads above the parapet looking for the coveted Grosjean Award. The Mercedes battling on the track, Red Bull putting one of their drivers on the naughty step and is the GPP Bingo…

Wow! Apart from all the tyre saving stuff, which in itself was interesting for some, the 2023 Singapore GP was a smasher! Poor Lance Stroll ruled himself out of the race by crashing in qualifying, Both Red Bulls were off the pace all weekend, Carlos Sainz played an absolute blinder during the race and George…

Ferrari turned up to the race this weekend and made it very entertaining. Didn’t win, but tried nevertheless.

Not a great weekend for Daniel Ricciardo as he broke a bone in his hand after a FP2 shunt (which releases the pressure on Perez slightly). Sergeant gets through to Q3 for the first time and the rain affects the course of the race. All this and more as we cover the Dutch GP 2023…

A dry(ish) race for the Belgian GP where Pirates invade our studio, Piastri and Sainz got together at the first corner, drivers going ’round the outside, round the outside’ and the temptation of wanting Red Bull to show us what that car can really do. All this and more. We hope you enjoy. Warning: this podcast…

In other news, De Vries loses his seat to Ricciardo, there’s a new Qualifying formate tested, Dr Helmut Marko needs to by some super glue for the broken trophy and Ferrari need new sales…

The British GP is one we all look forward to and this years didn’t disappoint. Verstappen went on to win the race but he didn’t have it all his own way because McLaren were on top form. Norris and Pastry both impressed, Hamilton looked strong and Ferrari looked more like a Fiat in Ferrari clothing…
