03.15.2024

225. BIG end of season awards show feat. Box of Neutrals
In a bumper season review show with Box of Neutrals we humbly present our annual awards for the 2023 season and lay our reputations on the line with some daring predictions for next season.
11.29.2023
224. That's a wrap
That'll be all she wrote as far as racing action goes, so we look at the biggest stories of the last month, revisit our pre-season predictions and get robotic in the AI powered Superquiz.
10.10.2023
223. Championsickness
Verstappen claims his 3rd Drivers' Championship, but Qatar delivered a new race winner, drivers bailing out under gruelling conditions, teammates have been clashing and we unpack the effects of a grid shakeup in the Superquiz.
09.12.2023
222. Gassing a James Bond-type
Do we care about Verstappen's 10 race winning streak? What's the real reason Mercedes were so salty about it? And things turn a little Ocean's 14 in the Superquiz.
08.14.2023
221. Mid-season report card
Come on a Martin Brundle trundle down the main straight as we rate, rank and review the performance of each team on the grid. Disagree with our takes? Let us know and we'll promise to try harder next time.
07.13.2023
220. Dan's back in pog form
As Daniel Riccardo's return dominates F1 headlines, we reacquaint ourselves with the grid's 2nd Australian driver, review the fortunes of F1 teams in recent times, and we walk the red carpet in a stat-studded Superquiz.
06.15.2023
219. Hold my balls, honey
Can Red Bull sweep the season? Is a new tyre war on the horizon? Will Ricciardo's commentary stint be part of a return to F1, or another step away from it? And is it a brand new day for the...
05.11.2023
218 - Rod and Zach's 10th Birthday Party
Come one, come all to the social event of the season! Nothing makes you feel older quite like wrapping up a cool decade of your niche podcast. We wind back the clock for some formative impressions before winding the clock...
04.18.2023
217. Felipe Massa's Legal Eagles

03.14.2023
216. Superlicense F1 Unlocked

02.02.2023
Double Dare to Swear - S04E08E09
Well, well, well, look who has come crawling back. (It's us.) They said it couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't be done, but we're covering two huge eps of Drive to Survive and to ensure those purple sectors we're kicking things into...
12.15.2022
214. F1 Awardables 2022 (w. Box of Neutrals)
Like the star atop a Christmas tree, such is our end of season celebration episode with old mates... Box of Neutrals! Hear which team principal dismissal perplexed us the most (at the time of recording) and we remind you all...
11.24.2022
213 - Push Perez to overtake
Perez vs Verstappen, who is right? The answer might surprise you. Like overtakes? Tyre suppliers hate this one weird secret. And it's a Black Friday buy-one-get-one free deal in the Superquiz.
11.09.2022
212. F1's greatest snubs, flubs and practical jokes
Get the skinny on Red Bull's cost cap penalty, Hollywood's brush with F1, fixing the broken in-race penalty system and set a record time in our speed-run Superquiz. (Please don't suspend us, Elon.)
10.20.2022
Dare to Swear S04E07 "Growing pains"
Remember Yuki Tsunoda? Superlicense remembers. Without wanting to beat up on anybody, we realise just how "low stocks" F1's drivers get beyond the midfield, and question an over-used storytelling device.
10.13.2022
211. Should Red Bull be disqualified for being dirty, dirty cheaters?
After a good 20 mins of football talk we get straight into the big issues, like should Red Bull be disqualified from the championship, we get acquainted with "Slick" de Vries in the Superquiz, and catch up on an old...
09.22.2022
Dare to Swear S04E06 "A point to prove"
Williams and George Russell are hungry for yummy, yummy points and with a painfully predictable story arc ahead of us the dam bursts on our stream of unconsciousness, soaking you - the unsuspecting listener - in our trademark luke-warm takes.
09.08.2022
210. Oz car, ple-as try harder
Ricciardo. Piastri. Spa. To a lesser extent the Dutch Grand Prix. We flirt with them all. AND Rod turns back time to the early days of twitter for the Superquiz, while we dial-in a new segment.
08.10.2022
Double Dare to Swear S04E04 & S04E05
One episode, double trouble. We acknowledge the driver market craziness, and then tuck into a double helping of Drive to Survive, giving you plenty to think about as you vibe through the summer break.
08.03.2022
209. Wait... could Mercedes actually win?
Standard "We recorded before the Piastri stuff" disclaimer. It's wall-to-wall Sebastian with the news of his impending departure dominating the superquiz, we breakdown the machinations up and down the field, and take the opportunity to (re)introduce ourselves.
07.20.2022
208. George Russell is the kind of guy we like now
What a difference a month makes! We've done a 180 on Russell, Schumacher's done a 180 on his form, and Ricciardo has everyone in a spin. In the Superquiz this week Rod dusts off an ancient tome seeking wisdom, and...
06.30.2022
Dare to Swear S04E03 "Tipping Point"
We give our full, undivided attention to another Drive to Survive episode as the battle between Hamilton and Verstappen escalates in what you could even describe as something of a tipping point.
06.16.2022
207. Hamilton gets a Brazilian
We stuntcast the next F1 blockbuster filum, rate F1's most noteable number 2 drivers and put a cap on things with the Superquiz.
05.18.2022
Dare to Swear S04E02 "Ace in the Hole"
Ricciardo runs hot and cold, we play "Would Zach buy a Tesla?" and... are Sainz and Norris even mates?
05.11.2022
206. Max has momentum up the jacksie
We restrict our focus to the on-track action from F1's newest destination race, probe Hamilton's piercings and examine even bigger things in an aquatic themed Superquiz.
05.02.2022
Dare to Swear S04E01"Clash of the Titans"
Your boys take it back to the streets, rolling old school with the return of our Drive to Survive watchalong commentaries. We serve up course after course of hot takes, stuntcast a beloved 80s sitcom and you'll never guess who...
04.13.2022
205. Quack quack, Leclerc Championship?
Still high off the on-track action in Australia Rod and Zach return to discuss the opening races of the season, preview a brand new segment, scrutinise the on-going "Suck my balls, honey/mate" debate that just won't die and ask in...
03.08.2022
204. 2022 pre-season chat with Box of Neutrals
It's better-late-than-never week at the podcast with good friends Box of Neutrals switching things up to join us for a pre-season show. Sure it was recorded before Mazepin was sacked, but what it lacks in timeliness it more than makes...
12.14.2021
203. Abu Dhabi (What kind of day has it been)
What a finish! In our season finale we put that unforgettable final lap under the microscope, and look back at the year that was with a beefy 2021 review quiz. Stay safe, stay in touch over the break and we'll...

202. Saudi Arabian GP (The boycott buddies)
What's it like to review an F1 race that you haven't even seen? Join us for an alternative review of the Saudi Arabian GP, and we answer why we skipped the race, what we know (and don't) about what conspired,...
11.30.2021
Shakedown #12
Vale Sir Frank Williams. We share what he represented for us before game-planning out the remaining races and how the championship might shape up and do our best to keep you entertained with some currated content recommendarions.
11.23.2021
201. Qatar GP (Second cousins spice removed)
With a stinker of a race on our hands Rod and Zach are back with pegged noses and sharp tongues. At least the championship battle closed up but we also pump some air into the tyre debacle and raise a...
11.16.2021
200. Brazil GP (Mad for Masi)
Why don't you come join our party! In our momentous 200th episode we cover the Brazil Grand Prix, dissect the HAM/VER staush, elevate a whole swag of F1 personalities to "Friends of the show" status, and we reflect on a...
11.10.2021
199. Mexico GP (The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie)
Rod and Zach stay classy for the Mexican Grand Prix which put Verstappen within reach of his first championship. All that while also fixing Driver of the Day, conjecting about new manufacturers and casting a curious eye toward Ricciardo's appearance...
11.02.2021
Shakedown #11
It's a spook-a-thon Shakedown episode between F1 races covering whether F1 drivers see ghosts, the Extreme E championship leader's excuse for missing Zach's birthday and more content recommendations that you can shake a remote control at as the momentum builds...
10.26.2021
198. United States GP (That's too many Marks)
Yeehaw we're back to recap Hamilton and Verstappen scrapping for the win in Austin, unpack whether celebrities belong on the grid walk, offer a whole bunch of untested opinions about NASCAR in the Superquiz and look toward the crammed schedule...
10.20.2021
Shakedown X
Your F1 boys are back to bless your podcast feed with another Shakedown poll (tm), F1 news and Led Zeppelin finally intersect, and if you have a content shaped hole in your week we've got just what you need.
10.13.2021
197. Turkish GP (If it hurts you know it's working)
Rod and Zach are back, back again, to talk Turkey. Could Lewis have made the tyres last, what on earth was Vettel thinking, has Jenson Button finally claimed a spot in the caravan of courage and in the Superquiz we...
10.06.2021
Shakedown #9
Got troubles? Let's shake 'em off by looking at F1's move toward eco fuel alternatives, what racing in Qatar for the next decade could mean for the future of the sport, our World Famous shakedown poll and more content recommendations...
09.29.2021
196. Russian GP (Go Coulthard, or go Coulthome)
What a race, and did we mention it was on at a pearler of a time? When it rains it pours, and other similar cliches are trundled out as our hearts break for Lando. We work out how his race...
09.21.2021
Shakedown #8
It's the latest installment in the Superlicense Universe covering the latest news, we dissect possibly the most confusing Shakedown poll to date, promote our Patreon-only special episode "Schumacher is the name of the show" and recommend some curated content to...
09.15.2021
195. Italian GP (Return of the Budgie Nine)
It's hard not to clebrate a Daniel Ricciardo victory, we discuss whether his win was sealed in Turn 1, the contentious Verstappen/Hamilton crash, Valtteri's real-time racing analysis, we look back at Ricciardo's victories (and shoeys) in the Superquiz and look...
09.07.2021
194. Dutch GP (Stick him on the world feed)
As well as the huge driver movements we ask who has rigged the DOTD in Sergio's favour, we focus on the fans in the Superquiz before asking who is your favourite super-sub commentator: Nico Rosberg or Jenson Button?
09.01.2021
193. Belgian GP (Points for trying)
Boy you'd hate to be an F1 podcaster after a race like that, and yet, here we are. Look, we just aren't the kind of guys who leave you high and dry so we give it everything we've got and...
08.24.2021
Shakedown #7
What time is it? No time to look back, as Shakedown returns with fan-tolerated segments like the "shit" twitter poll, and Rod and Zach discuss whether any two drivers could switch team and make both respective teams stronger.
08.17.2021
Dare to Swear S03E10 "Down to the Wire"
All good things must come to an end, as drivers and team fight for the last remaining points of the 2020 F1 season we discuss which drivers you'd want to have a beer with, whether D2S is too insular, and...
