Max and the Ham are having close battles, Mazepin looks like he's rubbish, and all is right with the world. Other than human rights, obviously.
 Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back on the opening race of the 2021 season at the Bahrain International Circuit, and ponder whether Sebastian Vettel was ever any good at all.

Here Comes Bahrain Again

Once you've heard the facts, join Ollie, Terry and Phill for their review of every grand prix. Formula 1 needs fixing - and For F1's Sake are the ones to fix it. Definitely.

Comedy

Sports

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, Sainz is still doing an impression of being better than Leclerc, and Logan Sargeant's impression of a million pieces of carbon fibre is apparently contagious. Ollie, Phill and Terry talk about all that, and there's an insight into Terry's film career, too. He was in Skyfall, you know.

Come Back To What You Know

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 F1 anymore. Ollie, Phill and Terry reflect on your questions in the wake of the Australian Grand Prix – Sainz, Russell, Alonso etc – and then look ahead to the Suzuka showdown in the GREAT FF1S BIG PREVIEW, as we're not calling it. It has FACTS GALORE, some of which might even be true.

"Shove Your Tradition Up Your Spoon" - Japanese GP Preview

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: does anyone remember Ollie Bearman? Is this the start of Red Bull's decline, and is it because of what happens when you play with yourself in the bath? Plus why Fernando Alonso steals burgers, probably.

Brake On Through (To The Other Side)

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 to offer, including facts about the Australian Grand Prix that you never knew, probably maybe. Plus, we answer your questions to the best of our limited abilities.

Listeners' Corner: relegation systems, Hamilton's tactics, and Ricciardo's career + Australian GP Preview

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, Drew Stearne, to look back at the Bearnaissance and ask - what does this mean for his career, for F1 and indeed for humanity? Also Red Bull’s implosion continues everywhere except the track, so that’s fun.
