HAPPY NEW SEASON EVERYONE!

As is tradition on DATS Life, we look ahead at the new Formula 1 season, starting this weekend in Melbourne!

In addition to the normal rundown of the teams and drivers, Dave and Tom look back on last year's predictions, as well as reviewing some of their hard hitting opinions from last season's show..

And no season preview is complete without some predictions for the season ahead!

F1 IS BACK!

It is officially race week and the opening round of the 2019 Formula 1 Season is days away - but the DATS Life Season Preview is even closer!!

Welcome to 2019 everyone! And as I am sure you have come to realise, we are a little late for a New Years Special...

Continuing the new streamlined episode structure, Dave and Tom talk Christmas, New Years un-resolutions and look at a very unique Formula 1 driver!

But more importantly than any of that, can Tom's girlfriend throw a chocolate sprout into his mouth from the other side of the room???

It is official! Dave is home! He is back, living and working in Jersey!

But as you might expect on this show, it has not gone entirely to plan. And if that wasn't enough Dave is also on the verge of turning 30! (at time of recording).

For the eagle eyed among you, you may have noticed this episode is half the normal length... that is because DATS Life has entered a new era of STREAMLINED episodes! Half the length, twice the quality!

Continuing on from the technical difficulties at the end of Part 1, Dave and Tom are right back in it!

Also recorded in the summer, the main event of the episode is a look back on their first experience of indoor skydiving, which didn't go totally to plan for one of them!

Remember that heat wave we had in the summer?

Well, that is when this episode was recorded! So when you are finished putting the heating on, changing the duvet on the bed and dusting off the icicles from the ceiling, journey back to more tropical times with the latest podcast from Dave and Tom.

Coming up on the show... Dave has some BIG news that could effect the podcast, and as it is 10 years since Dave and Tom went to University they are discussing advice they would give to their 19 year-old selves. Plus, a LIVE (at the time) vote for the fan to pick the topic of their final conversation of the show. Speaking of the end of the show, an old foe returns in the shape of technical difficulties...

As you may already know, sometimes it can be several months between recording a podcast and publishing that podcast... this is one of those times!

Nonetheless, Dave and Tom are on fine form discussing Dave's trip to Belgium for the World Endurance Championship (WEC) at Spa Francorchamps.

There are laughs a plenty as Dave reminisces over his first experience driving on a motorway, his first experience driving a left-hand drive car and his first experience of one of the great circuits in motorsport.

How many times can Tom say Francorchamps in one episode?!

Well, this teaser for the new episode will give you a clue! It's too many!

Have you ever made a total fool of yourself whilst playing football?

Tom certainly has!

Taken from Episode 47, this clip is sure to resonate with all football fans! And even those who aren't are sure to laugh!

Predictions! That is what we all love to do and that is exactly what Dave and Tom do in the final part of their World Cup preview series!

Can Germany retain their title, will Brazil put the humiliation of 4 years ago behind them, will Belgium and France's cast of stars take them to the top, can Spain bounce back from their manager's sacking, will Ronaldo or Messi add the World Cup to their ever growing trophy cabinet, will Iceland surprise everyone again and conquer the world's greatest, can Suarez finish the tournament without a suspension and (most importantly) can England make it out of their group!
