04.19.2024
SIC & Tired
In this preview episode of FF1S, Ollie, Phill and Terry prepare to welcome back the Chinese Grand Prix, a race we'd forgotten about and have no strong feelings about one or the other. Phill wholeheartedly embraces cliché as he takes...
04.09.2024
Come Back To What You Know
After the merest hint in Australia that maybe Max Verstappen and Red Bull wouldn't dominate the season, our hopes were dashed in Japan as we went back to the usual format. Perez is still doing an impression of being good,...
04.04.2024
"Shove Your Tradition Up Your Spoon" - Japanese GP Preview
It's RACE WEEK, as it is just about every week. This time Formula 1 goes to JAPAN, which is normally at the end of the season but now isn't because tradition is a nasty word that we don't need in...
03.27.2024
Brake On Through (To The Other Side)
After waking up at horrible o'clock for the Australian Grand Prix, it was a pleasant surprise to have an interesting race for once. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at Carly Simon's dominant win in Melbourne and ask the important questions:...
03.18.2024
Listeners' Corner: relegation systems, Hamilton's tactics, and Ricciardo's career + Australian GP Preview
With the Middle East dirge races behind us we now head hopefully to Australia and perhaps the first decent race of the season maybe possibly. Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne, and preview the best that Melbourne has...
03.12.2024
The Bear Necessities
The Saudi Arabian GP came and went and Max Verstappen won again. But the real story was Ollie Bearman, who is surely the greatest Formula 1 driver in history now. Phill and Terry are joined by their own super sub,...
03.07.2024
Listeners' Corner & Phill's Saudi Arabia GP Preview
Getting ready to watch the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix? Stop! You haven’t listened to the FF1S Preview, so how will you know what’s going on? Ollie, Phill and Terry look forward to the fastest sportwashing on earth, and answer your...
03.05.2024
Shut Up and Google Drive
After months of waiting, the Bahrain Grand Prix delivered a fizzle and a result that we’ll probably be seeing a lot of. Again. But F1 is at least still delivering the drama - it’s just happening on WhatsApp. Allegedly. Ollie,...
02.29.2024
Stuck in The Middle (East) With You
Ollie, Phill and Terry answer some of YOUR questions and look ahead to the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend (even thought it's started). We cover Perez being fired, Alonso falling out with Aston Martin and whether our loyal listeners are having...
02.28.2024
Simply the Test
F1 is nearly back! And it's not going away for a while. Ollie, Phill and Terry take a deep breath and look back at the off-season news, of which there was a lot, and pre-season testing, of which there wasn't...
12.22.2023
The FF1S Review Of The Season Of Driving 2023
Never mind the final race of the season, never mind the annual FIA prize-giving – this is what it all comes down to. The FF1S gang gather IN PERSON, at an ACTUAL PUB to debate the 2023 Formula 1 season...
12.02.2023
Don’t Dream It’s Over
This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back an an underwhelming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and ruminate on the season, before remembering that...
11.23.2023
Sphere of The Dark
The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was simultaneously an absolute shitshow even by F1’s cackhanded standards, and yet also one of the best races of the year. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to discuss manhole destruction, what...
11.15.2023
I’m Waiting for the Men
Better late than never, Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to try and remember what happened in the São Paulo Grand Prix, while also looking forward the the gaudy, neon-drenched clusterfuck that the Las Vegas GP will probably...
11.10.2023
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
This should be the São Paulo Grand Prix Episode, but unfortunately we have massively fucked up our logistics and so it isn’t. It’s just a placeholder to tell you how much we’ve Ferrari’d things up, and to apologise. But we...
11.03.2023
Checo The Technique
Mexico arrived in a sea of stereotypes, including sombreros, mariachi music, Max Verstappen winning and Sergio Perez making a disgrace of himself. Phill, Terry and Ollie talk about all that, as well as the unexpected bonus of Daniel Ricciardo driving...
10.26.2023
Norwegian Wood (This plank has shrunk)
F1 has returned to the Americas with a race dominated by talking in the braking zone, tyre strategies and the fact there are still bits of wood bolted to the bottom of the cars. Ollie and Terry are joined by...
10.11.2023
Let's Sick Together
Qatar promised little but deivered chaos, vomit, crashes and a world championship. And all we needed was oppressive heat and some shitty tyres. Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to relive the Doha debacle, with the usual tangents...
09.27.2023
Six on Fire
Would Japan be Red Bull’s downfall after the shocker of Singapore? No. Utter dominance returned and Red Bull are six-time champions. But also McLaren are good, Perez is shit and who will get the boot next season? All this and...
09.21.2023
George of the Bungle
Best race of the year? And all we had to do was completely nobble the Red Bulls for mysterious yet apparently not-at-all dodgy reasons. Singapore was a bit of a classic and didn't even need rain to spice it up....
09.06.2023
Perfect 10
Monza. The home of Ferrari, the home of the tifosi. The home of a surprisingly good performance from the Maranello team. Not good enough to win, obviously, but still. Phill and Terry are taken aback at Ferrari's not-shit performance, and...
08.31.2023
Mr Zandman
The Dutch Grand Prix brought rain, crashes, a red flag and lots of entertainment, and then Max Verstappen won because of course he did. Phill and Terry are joined by Olllie Peart to discuss the zaniness at Zandvoort, and then...
08.02.2023
Radio Blah Blah
Belgium! The land of waffles, chocolate and Max Verstappen's homeland, and also home to the Belgian Grand Prix, which was either interesting or tedious depending on who you ask. Phill and Terry are joined again by Drew Stearne to dissect...
07.26.2023
How Can You Mend A Broken Trophy?
The Hungarian Grand Prix promised much, with an exciting qualifying and the suggestion that MAYBE Max Verstappen wouldn't romp to an easy victory. But then he did, within literally one corner. Still, it proved a mildly engaging race that will be...
07.12.2023
Let's Talk About Sax
Impressively soon after the British Grand Prix and just before Alphatauri killed Nyck de Vries and replaced him with Daniel Ricciardo, Phill and Terry are joined once again by Ollie Peart. Together, they discuss terrible anthems, excellent orange (and chrome)...
07.06.2023
Spielberg Shitty Limits
Now with more than 1200 infringements, it’s the Austrian Grand Prix podcast! Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back over what was actually a pretty decent race weekend, albeit overshadowed by farcical track limit violations. Naturally,...
06.22.2023
Montreal I Ask Of You
Canada saw a return to form for Formula 1, by which we mean it was only mildly dull instead of a complete snoozefest. Phill and Terry are joined once again by Anouszka Tate to discuss all things Montreal, including dead...
06.07.2023
George I want to make you sweat
The Spanish Grand Prix was one of the most interesting races of the season, but with an incredibly low benchmark, that's not saying much. Still, Phill and Terry are joined by guest host Alex Goy to discuss the Barcelona race,...
06.01.2023
Where The Streets Have No Shame
Monaco. It's the jewel in the crown of F1, except it's a very dull jewel and only sparkles if it gets wet. Nevertheless, Phill and Terry are joined by guest host Laura Leslie to discuss the dismal failure of Monte...
05.22.2023
No no // no no no no // no no no no // no no there’s no Grand Prix
In lieu of a race this weekend, Terry & Phill dive back into the archives to find a PREVIOUSLY UNBROADCAST pilot by the team. Yes, even Cheeka. So get Wikipedia open and get ready to laugh at F1 jokes from 2015! Learn...
05.11.2023
Holding Back the Eyers
It was the Miami Grand Prix, but we're barely interested in that. Instead, for one final time, Cheeka Eyers hosts everyone's third or fourth favourite F1 podcast and we reflect on a lifetime together, assuming that lifetime is of an...
05.04.2023
We Are The Cheeka Boys
As staff changes echo around one, we make them all seem minor with an EPIC BOMBSHELL. Also there were several tedious races in Baku, so Phill, Terry and special guest host Ollie Peart try and make sense of it all. Also...
04.05.2023
Red Flag In Red, Is Dancing With Me
Every time we think we’ve hit peak F1, FQ just gets peakier. Cheeka’s off this week, so Phill and Terry look back at the hilariously inept Australian Grand Prix, which saw red flags galore, woeful driving standards and some very...
03.22.2023
Second Seems To Be The Hardest Word
Human rights played second fiddle to racing and DRAMA in Saudi Arabia, as the wrong Red Bull won and the Verstappens were not happy about it. Cheeka, Phill and Terry marvel at the fallout, discuss Fernando Alonso and how no...
03.09.2023
Have You Ever Seen Bahrain
F1 2023 is underway and Max Verstappen is champion. Thanks everyone, see you for testing in 2024. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the Bahrain Grand Prix and decide to forget about the championship, instead focusing on whether we...
03.02.2023
Here Comes the Pain Again
The testing is done. The moody intro shots have been taken. The shonky documentary is out. Yes, the new season of Formula 1 is about to start, so Cheeka, Phill and Terry have wearily dragged themselves back to the microphone...
02.08.2023
The Whines They Are A-Changin’
The 2023 F1 season is (nearly) go, so here’s a podcast to round up all the off-season bullshit before it gets really silly. Cheeka, Phill and Terry are in the SAME ROOM to talk new team principals, new teams (maybe),...

FF1S 2022 Season Review Part 2
...and we're back for part 2, with at least two actual facts and the big reveal of our Man Of The Match Of The Year Of Driving. Ooh. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
12.25.2022
FF1S 2022 Season Review Part 1
Bollocks to the FIA Gala, this is the end-of-year extravaganza that the racing world has all been waiting for. Yes, it's FF1S's Annual Booze-Up and Season Review, where Cheeka, Phill and Terry are joined by actual F1 commentator Jack Nicholls...
11.25.2022
Abu Baby Come Back
It's finally over. Even though the race for the 2022 title was actually over months ago, we had to drag out the charade to Abu Dhabi, but we made it. Well done everybody. Verstappen won again, Perez's love for him...
11.18.2022
Paulo Can You Go?
We'll be honest, the F1 season has dragged on a bit in 2021. But the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend was a cracker, with action and excitement across the board. Kevin Magnussen got his first pole. George Russell got his...
11.04.2022
I Wanna Mex You Up
Remember the Mexican Grand Prix? Trying to forget it? Well, tough shit, because Cheeka, Phill and Terry are going to dredge up the tedium all over again. But then forget about it and talk about all manner of completely unrelated...
10.26.2022
Austin Music
It’s the American Grand Prix! Again! But this time it was good, except for the boss of Red Bull dying. The racing was exciting, Verstappen wrapped up the double, and Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk all about it. Well, in...
10.13.2022
Get Out Of My Dreams And Into My Tractor
Look, we’re not saying that we’ve had a strong influence on F1, but the 2022 championship was won in a shambolic, shameful and poorly executed manner, accompanied by lots of swearing. So make of that what you will. Phill and...
10.05.2022
Singapore for Absolution
F1 is back after a nonsense-filled break, and joining Terry and Phill is a VERY SPECIAL GUEST HOST. The gang talks about everything from the Singapore Grand Prix, by which we mean a handful of things, and then some tangents...
09.16.2022
Another F1 Podcast In The Wall
It’s the grand re-union no one was asking for. Like Alonso going back to McLaren, McLaren going back to Honda or Alonso going back to Enstone this week is a trip down memory lane as Terry Saunders is reunited with...
09.08.2022
That Don't Impress Me Dutch
Another week, another Verstappen victory and another catastrophic Ferrari disaster. And another disturbing Manscaped advert. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back on the Dutch Grand Prix, where flares, pit failures and angry shouting are all...
09.01.2022
Spa You Gonna Go My Way?
Spa is a guarantee of brilliant racing, except last year when it wasn't and this year when it also wasn't. Still, there was at least some excitement at the start with Verstappen and Leclerc charging from the back, and Hamilton...
08.03.2022
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, or Not
Ferrari continued to go Boom in Hungary, and Phill and Terry are joined by actual F1 commentator Jack Nicholls to comb through the wreckage. They also look with incredulity at the developing saga around Alpine, Aston, Alonso and Piastri, and...
07.26.2022
NOOOOOOOO Diggity
The French Grand Prix was gearing up to be the usual snoozefest, but then the Ferrari clown car came careering into the Circuit Paul Ricard, squirting us in the face with their lapel flower of incompetence. Phill and Terry are...
