We open 2025 with a look at Lewis Hamilton's first day in Maranello with Scuderia Ferrari, how a Ferrari F40 probably isn't a "Winter Car", and whether councils are trying to squeeze a few extra pounds from people with cars that aren't cutting-edge EVs.

In this episode we scratch our heads at the thinking behind Jaguar's shutdown of car production and planned reinvention as an all electric luxury brand.

We also take another opportunity to watch "Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story" now that it has appeared on BBC2 and, of course, the iPlayer!

It is that time of year again when the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) invites us to another day of road testing the latest cars on the UK roads.

This event centres around Thruxton, and the local roads prove worthy of the new cars on offer. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite so friendly, but what are British road tests without a little rain?!?

Vehicles driven include:

• Lotus Emira
• MG HS
• Kia EV9
• BMW Z4
• Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
• MG Cyberster

With an unusual set of priorities, Formula One's stewards step in to deal with the big issue... Too much swearing!?!

We also look at the problems with the amount of flooded roads at the moment, and the reckless nature of some (but not all!) who get stuck in them.
