Join Grace, Paul and me as we celebrate our 500th podcast episode by looking back at the 11 years we’ve been running Formula1blog.com. We started our podcasts back in 2007 and the big news of that season was the McLaren Spygate incident with Ron Dennis and with the news this week that Ron would be leaving the team, we thought we should put a bookend on our first 500 shows with none other than Ron Dennis and McLaren. In fact, we thought we’d look at 11 controversies in F1 over the years just for a fun conversation and walk through memory lane.

What controversies caught your attention in F1 over the decades? Are there some big ones you were rattle by and what do you think of the incidents that we picked?

We hand out some awards and share some thoughts on our history and the community that has made FBC what it is. It’s a long show but since we’re not recording one this coming Monday, we thought you could handle it. We hope you enjoy the 500th celebration podcast—including a short snippet from our very first show—and we look forward to the next 500.
