Welcome to Spain and a track that all the teams have put in thousands of laps over the years testing here at the start of each season, however will a re-profiled turn 10 and 11 with new tarmac cause another set of problems.

Upgrades a plenty from Mclaren as they try to bolster their fight with Ferrari for third in the constructors championship, Aston Martin try to get the season back on track and we discuss the battle at the front with Hamilton and Max.

An outstanding race that has finally showed us the true performances up and down the grid, the midfield battle was over shadowed by the battle at the front but its hotting up only 3 races in for a season that is going to keep giving and giving if all teams retain/ improve going forward! 5 races in 7 weeks a fans dream :)

Strong winds made this qualifying not the most exciting but it has left us with 3-4 drivers that will be coming through the field and a moth watering front 2 rows!

Will team orders be played out, will the the clean side of the track at lights out make all the difference ? We will wait and see. With no rain forecast and 28 Deg C this should be the first all out battle for the front running teams. Max vs Hamilton Part 3 maybe.

Here we are back in Portugal for round 3 at the roller coaster that is Portimão (Algarve something or other!). A freshly laid tarmac surface along with some rain made this an exciting outing last year (only 6 months ago) but we return for a dry race weekend but windy conditions will play a part.

Will the Hamilton vs Max show continue? Will Bottas/Perez/Vettel/Alpine all make some in roads in what can only be described as a nightmare start for them this season.

The race that had it all, rain, spins, red flags, overtakes and lots of mayhem and chaos but was it a classic?

Some outstanding performances up and down the field with quite a few ruing missed opportunity's. Calm heads and some great driving did see the cream rise to the top however.

Join us for results and reaction.

Join us as we discuss a grid that should offer up another outstanding race of strategy and unexpected results.

Imola an old school track where run offs are grass or gravel and the smallest slip up will cost, along with newly installed yellow bollards/bumps and humps the track limits are being policed to a new and unheard of level in Formula 1.

Will it be the Hamilton and Max show or will we see some of the midfield teams start to cause some trouble for the front runners.

Welcome Imola! We find ourselves at the start of a 5 race streak in Europe.

After what seems like an eternity, we are back with the second race of the 2021 season!

Track limits, low rake high rake, tyres, all to talk about. Question marks over Aston Martin and how quick they can develop the car and get back to last years performance levels. Hamilton vs Max will it rumble on?(we all hope so) Ferrari, are they back and could Russell score points at the race he came so close to claiming last November.

This weekend has huge implications for the rest of the season as we try and get a feel for the pecking order and we need to remember the aero restrictions that are affecting the teams up and down the grid.

An outstanding start to the season long may it continue, but will it ?

Will Mercedes out develop Red Bull over the season, will Bottas and Perez hold the key to who will win this years championship? or will it just be an all out battle between Max and Lewis?

The midfield battle lead by Mclaren, 3rd last year can they take the battle to Red Bull/ consolidate 3rd in what has to be probably the most competitive field in many many years, 6 teams with not a single mug of a driver between them.

Join us as we discuss todays result and looking forward to the next race and the season.

The wheels finally turned in anger and we had a great qualifying session, setting up what we all hope will be the start of a Red Bull vs Mercedes battle.

The rest of the field however seems to have a fascinating story in and for every team on the grid.

Listen as we discuss and look at todays result and what it could mean for the race on Sunday but also the long season ahead.

Welcome to Bahrain.

Here we are about to embark on the longest season in Formula 1 history 23 races encompassing the globe, pandemic or not we expect a fantastic championship with all the signs pointing to battles everywhere on the grid but the one at the front between the only two teams to have won drivers and constructors championship’s in the past ten years is set to be explosive.
