“Send us a Hey Now!”

The Dutch Grand Prix is in the books, and that means we’re saying goodbye to Zandvoort… for now. But before we get too emotional about the end of F1 at one of the calendar’s most distinctive circuits, there was the small matter of a Sprint weekend to unpack!

Rob and Brian look back at everything from the final Dutch GP weekend at Zandvoort. We discuss the Sprint, the Grand Prix, the big winners and losers, the moments that had us talking, and whether Zandvoort got the send-off it deserved.

As always, we’ve got all the usual Dirty Side segments along for the ride:

📰 News & Social – The latest stories, rumors, reactions, and nonsense from the world of F1

🎥 Brian’s Video Vault – Another trip down the YouTube rabbit hole

🏁 Race Review – Breaking down the Sprint and Dutch Grand Prix 

🎰 F1 Casino – Were our picks winners, or did we leave empty-handed?

🔮 Looking Ahead – What’s next as the 2026 F1 season rolls on?

“Send us a Hey Now!”

The summer break is over, Formula 1 is back… and who better to help us kick off the second half of the season than our resident Cadillac expert, Pitlane Paul!

This week we have an extra-special edition of Cadillac Corner, as Paul joins us to look back at Cadillac’s first half-season as an F1 team. We talk about the highs, the lows, the progress, the frustrations and, most importantly, what Paul is hoping to see from the team as the season heads towards its final stretch.

But Paul doesn’t get off lightly. He sticks around for the rest of the show as we work through the latest F1 news and social media, before heading into Brian’s Video Vault for another collection of F1 nonsense, challenges and spectacular mechanical failures.

We then turn our attention to the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. With F1 returning from the summer break and the championship battle about to heat up again, we look at the track, the big storylines and what we expect to see when the cars hit the dunes. This year's Dutch GP is also a little different, with Zandvoort hosting its first-ever F1 Sprint weekend and the race set to be the final Dutch Grand Prix under the current calendar arrangement.

And, naturally, Paul gets involved in the important stuff too. We finish up with our F1 Casino picks for the Dutch Grand Prix, where we're putting our imaginary money where our mouths are.

“Send us a Hey Now!”

 No racing? No problem! We’ve been to the F1 equivalent of Aldi’s Aisle of Mystery and somehow managed to cobble together an episode from whatever we found lying around! 

With the F1 summer break in full swing, Rob & Brian bring you a gloriously random collection of F1-related nonsense, including:

🏎️ Our sim racing adventures – who’s been putting in the laps and who’s been putting in the excuses?

🎸 Foo Fighters! – because apparently we’re now a music podcast.

🔧 Why do F1 cars tweak their wings during pit stops? – a surprisingly serious bit of F1 tech hiding amongst all the chaos.

🔥 F1 Hot Wheels – because obviously we need tiny versions of F1 cars in our lives.

🗣️ Silly Season Rumour Review – separating the genuine whispers from the absolute nonsense as the driver market starts heating up.

And, of course, Brian’s Video Vault is back with suitably random F1 video treats:

 What if Formula 1 drivers represented their countries in the FIFA World Cup? 🤔 

With a weekend off from racing, we thought we'd have a bit of fun. This week on Dirty Side Podcast, we build the ultimate Formula 1 World Cup by selecting the best 11-driver team each nation could field. Starting with the last 32 nations from the FIFA World Cup knockout stages, we pit country against country, debating driver line-ups, team strength, and national F1 history as we work our way through the tournament to crown our Formula 1 World Cup Champions. 

After the knockout action, we switch our attention back to the real Formula 1 season with a preview of next week's Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. We discuss the storylines to watch, who could shine at one of the sport's greatest circuits, and make our early predictions before the cars hit the track. 

In this episode: 

• News & Social round up
• Brian's Video Vault 
• Cadillac Corner
• Crowning our Formula 1 World Cup Champions

“Send us a Hey Now!”

School's out for summer, which means it's time for the Dirty Side Podcast End of Spring Report Card!

With the Formula 1 season approaching the halfway point, we hand out grades across the paddock and take a look at who has exceeded expectations, who needs summer school, and which teams might be heading for detention before the championship battle reaches its conclusion.

We break down the biggest winners and losers from the season so far, discuss surprise performances, championship contenders, underachievers, rookie impressions, team progress, and the storylines that have defined the first part of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

Who earns an A+? Who barely scrapes a pass? And which teams are staring at a report card they'd rather keep hidden from their parents?

As always, we share our honest fan perspective on everything happening across Formula 1.
