The Undercut Podcast

The gang are back and ready to preview the Belgian Grand Prix in the hope we'll actually get a race this year? We'll see. Packed into this educational broadcast we cover the upcoming FP1 drives across the grid, the potential return of our Lord and Saviour Antonio Giovinazzi, the 2026 technical regulations for power units and as ever, our wild predictions.

Fraser can be found over on the Inside F2 Podcast.

It's not really about the season so far, but its a quiz at the 'mid season' point. It makes sense, trust me!

Anyway, this time we are handing the reigns over to our queen of chaos Ellie-May as she hosts a quiz with our friends Shannon, Amy and Magdalena from Team Valkyrie Racing. It all gets as wacky as you'd expect with more references to Brendon Hartley than you'd expect. It's all a good bit of fun and a nice dry run for something we have in the works for later this series! So brace for that. Hopefully.

As usual, we can be found all across the web as well as on our new YouTube channel which will be home to our podcast from now on, instead of me hogging the glory on my channel. Seems fairer that way. So look us up there as The Undercut Podcast.

And there's the socials; Thiemo, Jesse, Ellie-May, Team Valkyrie, Shannon, Amy and Magdalena.

Join Jesse and Thiemo as they sit down with friend of the show Jacob Phillips to talk all things F2 and sift through the grid to see who they think will make it to F1. Be warned, there are some cutting opinions on this podcast!

We'll be back later this week with Ellie-May and a quiz to keep y'all occupied through this late stage of the summer break. Aren't we kind?

Good lord life got in the way of getting this one sorted. Anyhow, here's the bumper episode covering the French and Hungarian race weekends for F2, F3 and W Series. A lot of funky content in here. We'll be back shortly with Jacob Philips sifting through the F2 grid and ordaining those worthy of F1 seats and those otherwise. Keep your ears pinned team.

EDIT: Hmmm! I forgot to record a constructors countdown. Not that it matters particularly as there's no change this week.

I’ll apologise on Thiemo’s behalf for this, his antiquated wifi was really struggling today. One day we’ll find a means of recording this that doesn’t sound like he’s on a dial-up connection from the 90s. I’ll apologise for my language too. I wasn’t best pleased to see Ferrari throw away another healthy dose of points by using a strategy that even my mother could tell wouldn’t work.

Anyhow, we sit down with friend of the show Nabila Tejpar to pull apart the news and what went on in Hungary.

Ready for FP1 at the Hungaroring. Although given we recorded this on Monday evening, there’s a glaring omission. See if you can figure out what it is. Answers on a postcard.

Désolé that this is so late. Another chaotic week of work outside of the podcast saw this get shuffled around, but regardless, it’s time to do some French Grand Prix Reviewing. Allez!

Oh, and if you fancy it, join our Fantasy F1 league! Join Code: f05f3ba111. Winner gets a Freddo? I dunno. Maybe we'll think of a prize but don't hold your breath. If you score the most in a race week, we will give you a shout out though. So that's worth it I guess.

Bonjour and bientôt a la Grand Prix Francais. I got a B in French at GCSE so that’s as far as we’ll be taking that. Yes, it’s time for the French Grand Prix, so we invited an Italian onto the podcast in the middle of a heat wave. We’re sensible people like that. Also because she has a proper job, Ellie-May couldn’t make this recording, but she has made predictions so check out socials for those.

Yes, our guest this week as you might have already read is Vicky Piria, former W-Series driver, current Italian GT driver, is our guest this week as we look ahead to the French GP as well as piggle apart some news. So lets get down to business!

Also at one point, I know I say Ferrari F14T, what I was thinking of was the F2012, wrong chassis number. I deeply apologise.

OK, I think we're all up to speed now. We've finally cleared the backlog of editing and are ready to set up for France. Allez!

Not at all on schedule, but catching up after a busy few weeks of my proper job, we’ve got some feeder series content, a delayed helping of F2 and F3 with some W Series thrown in for good measure! We’re popping back to Silverstone to recap the crazy action on track, remember that F2 Feature race crash? Yeah, that and more.
