Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton were back on the top step of the podium in the Spanish Grand Prix at the weekend after losing out for the first time in this strange, but somehow normal 2020 F1 season. A valiant effort from the Max Verstappen led (and Albon ignored) RedBull looked like they could push the 6 time world champion, but in the end another pretty much flawless drive from Lewis gave the most dominant team on the grid their 5th win out of 6 races.
This week on the podcast we take our usual look back that the events of the Spanish Grand Prix which saw yet more mixing up of the teams in the middle of the pack with Racing Point taking the award for 3rd best car this weekend. There’s also a roundup of all the news that’s out at the moment as F1 heads into an off week before the next triple-header that starts in Belgium at the end of the month and head to the first 2 of the 3 Italian circuits on the calendar.

Episode 354 – Overtake My Polesitter

2024 starts just as 2023 finished with an utterly dominant win for the seemingly unstoppable Max Verstappen in the all conquering RedBull. But all is not sweetness and light behind the scenes at the Milton Keynes based team…
This week on the podcase we look back over the Bahrain Grand Prix which showed that you can’t always believe what you see in pre-season testing, aka the Winter Championship. And some teams might have done a little bit of bagsanding (it’s the opposite of sandbagging!)
Of course the Grand Prix wasn’t the only talking point of the weekend and we cast our collective eyes over the big changes at Alpine that have come very early in the season with 2 senior team members departing and a whole bunch of new Technical Directors moving in pretty soon afterwards. There’s also the allegation that’s come to light that the FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, personally intervened to remove a penalty from Fernando Alonso at last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
And seeing as everyone else is commenting on it we look at the timeline of the Christian Horner situation and try as hard as we can not to get sued!
Also this week sees the debut of Poetry Corner, but you’ll have to listen to the show to find out what we’re talking about here (but massive thanks to upcoming guest Anita Driver!)
Don’t forget to see how you did in our prediction league this weekend, and put in your predictions for Suadi Arabia on Saturday (yep it’s another race a day early) in the games section and you can also join in with us all season on Discord too, along with Facebook & Twitter and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel

Episode 353 – Lights Out And Away He Went


Testing is done and the next time we see the cars on track will be on Thursday (surely some mistake?) for the 1st practice session of the 2024 F1 season.


Seeing as there’s only 4 of us to fill the time this week, we’ve picked up where we left off in last week’s mega show and we’re going through what we think we’re going to see this season, a few bold predictions and many many tangents.
 


As always at the start of the season, there’s the admin to get out of the way. There’s the Prediction League and The Fantasy League too so loads of chances to get predicting.
 


All the recording hardware is sorted (except for that 1 last pesky mic cable which you’ll hear at a few points) so we’re all set up for the new season and we’ll do everything we can to be around a lot more this year!
 
For all the extra chat and stuff we’re still there on Discord, along with Facebook & Twitter and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel and if you want the return of the extra (Neckstra?) show then you can still sign up for our Patreon from £/$/€1 a month and find out what we’re talking about!

Episode 352 – Thumpering A Litter Tray

What better way to kick the 2024 F1 season off than getting together with friends to talk all things F1 and all other things as well? In our usual form we managed to squeeze some F1 content in between the tangents with our friends from the Everything F1 Podcast And what a great bunch they are too,
So in what’s become our biggest show yet the 9, yes NINE, of us talk about the upcoming season after we’ve seen all the car launches, who looks good, who’s bluffing and will Haas be a let down again. Along with multiple tangents and a few new sound effects thanks to Kieren’s new toy/gadget (jury is still out)
Hope you enjoy a different kind of show from us this week and if you like what you hear, then you can find the Everything F1 Podcast on all the usual podcast platforms where you find our show.

Episode 351 – The Big TeamUp (3L4WEF1 Not VCRABS)

Or does it? Well we’ve had a couple of weeks of late off-season madness haven’t we. Andretti getting their bid to join the grid rejected, Guenther leaving Haas, the possible return of Sepang, rumours of a new street race in Chicago on the NASCAR/iRacing circuit and the slight matter of Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the 2024 season!
There was no way we couldn’t come back after all this as we’ve got tons to talk about, sadly however we had more technical gremlins so the sound quality might not be as good as usual, but we hope everything we’ve got to say more than makes up for it!
So this week on the pod we try to unpick all the big F1 news that’s gone on over the last few weeks during a time where traditionally nothing normally happens except car launches! And we hereby kick off the 2024 silly season before any of this year’s cars have even seen a track. Of course it wouldn’t be complete without our usual tangents and we’ve got them in spades (and plenty of other gardening implements too)
Hopefully we’ve put all the problems behind us now and we can actually get a full season in this year and make up for our slightly patchy schedule over the last couple of years.
One extra thing on this week’s show is that we’ve given our closing theme tune over to the new single from a Brighton based band called Guilty and The Dead, the song’s called Good Sailors and for anyone that’s a fan of classic rock, it’ll be right up your street!
