So it’s finally happened, this month’s “worst kept secret in F1” has come to fruition and Sergio Perez & RedBull have parted company. This has been rumoured to be happening for a while and for the last couple of months it was becoming more of a “when” than an “if”.

This week on the podcast we look at the reasons behind why Checo has been let go and what the future is like for RedBull’s seemingly cursed 2nd seat.

Also you wouldn’t believe the amount of tangents we’ve managed to fit in this week, We may not be able to call ourselves an F1 podcast if it carries on like this, for example there’s discussion of Chris unboxing a pack of Chocolate HobNobs from almost 9 years ago!

But in other F1 related stuff, this week has the debut of our “new” quiz, Is That Glock?

(Any resemblance to any other previous quiz on the pod is purely coincidental and not at all ripped off because it was a great idea and we’re buggered if we can think of a better type of quiz to replace it with)

Have a great Christmas from all of us at 3L4W and we’ll be back sometime over the festive season, or festive season adjacent for our season review and maybe the return of Thicc Ricc too.

Bit of a change for us, we’ve recorded this week’s show an hour after the chequered flag in one of the most penalty strewn races that we’ve seen in a while, the Qatar Grand Prix. As of approx 8:30 GMT on Sunday night, this was the finishing order we had, but we’re not 100% sure this will still be the same by the time you listen to it.

This week on the pod we also look at the chaos that is the FIA, with all the sackings, new race directors, new race directors that get sacked before they’ve had a chance to direct a race and where does the money go?

All this and a ton of tangents to keep you going until the last race of the season next weekend in Abu Dhabi.

He’s done it! Max Verstappen has taken his 4th World Driver’s Championship crown after it looked a bit patchy in places this season. But the current guy to beat on the grid has walked away with the title with 2 races and sprint to spare in the half conquering RedBull (his half is all conquering, but when you average things out…)

This week on the podcast we’ve not only got all our thoughts on a pretty decent 2nd edition of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but also the news that broke on Monday(!!!!!) that GM/Cadillac are going to be on the F1 grid from 2026 after all the to-ing and fro-ing with the Andretti bid that they were part of.

There’s the usual glut of tangents as well and also we debut our new theme tune this week. After almost 10 years we’ve decided to make a bit of a tweak. Patreon subscribers might know this song from their exclusive shows and hopefully you’ll like the tune as well. It’s called A Song About Trees by an Isle of Man band called Veto

We’re back (again!) Not to say that 2024 has been a difficult year, but by ‘eck it has! But most of the problems are vanishing in the rear view mirror like a Sauber that you’ve just overtaken and, fingers crossed, we’re back for the rest of 24 and beyond.

This week on the podcast we’ve got a bit of a look back at what we’ve missed over the last month while we’ve been away and there’s quite a bit to talk about! Checo’s utter loss of form and dubious future, the FIA imploding, Max getting back to championship winning for with a storming Sao Paolo GP performance and Lance “Gravel Man” Stroll

Also as we’ve been away for a while we’ve saved up all the tangents we could for our comeback and we’re more than happy to share them with you (short musicians being just one of them!)

The post Episode 363 – It’s All About The Rear End appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Another enforced break, another comeback and another Ferrari victory. We should be getting paid by the Scuderia to take more time off!

This week on the (yet another) return of the podcast we try to catch up on everything we’ve missse over the last month and a half and also fit a USA Grand Prix review in as well. Has the challenge from Lando Norris fizzled out as he ended up (his own words) “driving like a Muppet” on Sunday which ended up with a controversial penalty, although all the penalties and non-penalties this week were controversial. And does this mean Max is now on the front foot for the WDC fight this year?

When it comes to the constructor’s championship, that’s so far up in the air it’s practically in orbit and with a Ferrari 1-2 in Austin we could be in for a 3-way fight for it over the final 5 weekends of the season.

As said on the show, hopefully we’ll see you next week, seeing as we’re 1 race weekend in to the 1st of 2 triple header (maths!)

The post Episode 362 – Do We Only Pod When Ferrari Win? appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

First we’ll start with an apology for being more anonymous than your average Sauber for the last 2 months. We’ve had a few things to put up with, family stuff, Covid (again), day job stress, mental health problems and more But what a time to make a comeback!

This week on the podcast we look back at the Italian Grand Prix where once again McLaren seemed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and hand a win to the home team of Ferrari. At least RedBull have suddenly found themselves dropping down the pack with a massively unbalanced car that’s getting more expletives from Max than we heard from him in the Toro Rosso days!

There’s all the news as well (up to Monday anyway, thank you very much Adrian Newey) with Kimi Antonelli joining Mercedes, Nobody having a clue what’s going on with the RedBull/RB seats for next year and you can tell we’ve had a couple of months off as Alpine have got another new team principle

Advance warning, thanks to 3 of us being on holiday at the same time (not all together though, Kieren would never fit in a suitcase) we’ll be back in a couple of weeks and you never know, we might do that poolside podcast we were threatening last year!

Thanks again for bearing with us during the enforced break

The post Episode 361 – Papaya Rules KO appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Well Lewis Hamilton has finally won a race again for the first time since Jeddah 2021 and of course there were plenty of stats and new records broken so who better to discuss this week’s British Grand Prix with than VirtualStatman Sean Kelly.

This week on the podcast we veer off into our normal tangents about former drivers, along with Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch as Kieren regrets things he’s done in the past! There’s also our wrapup of one of the best British Grands Prix that we’ve seen in a long time.

Another one for fans of nostalgia and quizzes sees the one-off, we’re trying to make it more than that, return of “Who The Bloody Hell’s That Then” (Lee won’t let us call it by its old name unless he’s asking the questions)

All together a fun couple of hours!

The post Episode 360 – The Legend Of Xanadu appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Well that was an ending that we were and weren’t expecting all at the same time. Lando and Max going literally toe to toe over several laps at turn 3 at the RedBull Ring in this week’s Austrian Grand Prix. We thought it was going to end in tears and for both of them it did. For George Russell and Mercedes on the other hand (not to mention Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz) it was a pretty happy ending to the race for them. But where does that leave the Lando & Max friendship now?

This week on the podcast we look back at a race that is possibly going to have repercussions on the rest of this season and maybe even longer. This week leaves a ton of questions hanging in the air: Is Max going to carry on being as agressive? Is Lando going to start backing out of making moves, or will this push him to make more of them? Will this let Ferrari back into the constructor’s championship race if RedBull aren’t getting wins? And where the hell was Checo again (pt 6)

The post Episode 359 – Keith Flint’s Taxidermy Rabbit appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

We never thought we’d see the day again. No not a Mercedes on the podium, a broken Ferrari strategy or even a Max Verstappen win. But F1 actually allowing a race to start while it was raining and what a great call it was too!

This week on the podcast we look back at an action packed Canadian Grand Prix where normal service seemed to have been resumed at the front with our usual Sunday performance of the Dutch National Anthem, but this time round Max had to work for it and McLaren and Mercedes were there at the sharp end to make sure that he wasn’t able to head off into the sunset (rainset?) with everyone else trailing in his wake (tying to keep the puns to a minimum here)

There’s the usual team by team review of the race, which gives us chance to dump on the usual suspects (Logan Sargent, Ferrari) and if it had rained more we could have been covering Haas last! Along with the standard tangents and as it’s Canada there’s also a few things we don’t say (baby)

The post Episode 358 – Eau, Canada appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

All the action compressed into approximately 45 seconds, but spread out over almost 3 hours. That’s the best way to describe the Moncao Grand Prix this year.

This week on the podcast we try and make the parade on Sunday sound somewhere close to interesting when there were only 4 overtake, 7 pit stops by 6 drivers and a top 10 that finished in the same order that they started in.

Sounds great doesn’t it!

We’ve tried to make it interesting, but at least we’ve got Canada next up so hopefully things will be back to some kind of normal by then!

In better news, a good mate of ours, Josh Morris, is doing a 24 hour sim racing challenge on Weds 29th May at 7PM UK time in aid of CALM (Campaign against Living Miserably) as part of Race 2 Reach Out so please pop along to their Facebook page or our YouTube Channel to support and donate while he’s sitting in a racing rig for 24 hours straight!
