Formula 1 Podcast

After the fairly restrained Japanese Grand Prix we needed a bit of a plate cleanser and that's exactly what Bahrain served up to us for out 2nd race in the Gulf this season. A dominant win for McLaren's Oscar Piastri , but eith more FIA based chaos hiding beneath the surface. This week on the podcast we look at the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw a huge number of technical gremlins strike several teams, and some very strange and late calls from the stewards, which ened up ahving a negative effect on a few driver's races. It all kicked off on Saturday when Nico Hulkenberg's best Q1 lap time was deleted during Q3, but the problem was he'd already taken part in Q2 when it turned out he shouldn't have actually got through, this had a knock on effct on Alex Albon, who should then have made the 2nd session with a car that team principle James Vowles claimed had th pace for Q3. It didn't get much better from there as we had timing failures, George Russell able to open his DRS manually and by mistake (when he wqas trying to use the radio) and who knows what else. As usual there's our team by team review and the expected sheload of tangents!

That about sums up 2 of the 3 most interesting things about the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. The other one was, of course, Max Verstappen's blistering Q3 lap for pole position. But there was fire aplenty at trackside and you've got to feel for Isack Hadjar after his seatbelts were causing him grief in what Top Gear would describe as "The Gentleman's area" This week on the pod we try and make up things to say about one of the dullest Japanese GP's we've had the pleasure of sitting through, it was the first race outside of Monaco where the top 6 on the grid were the top 6 by the end of the race and that stat would have gone further down the order had Lewis not passed Hadjar's Racing Bull to break the tedium (we're really selling this episode aren't we!) There are thankfully a few tangents to break the parade up and there's a great Is That Glock as well, so it's not all that bad!

Well they've done it again, RedBull have done a mid-season driver swap with RB and this time it's a new record. Liam Lawson only got 2 races in the "big" team as Max Verstappen's team-mate to prove himself, even though he's now in his 3rd rookie season after 2 years as VCARB's super-sub. This week on the podcast we take a deep dive into whatever the hell it is that RedBull (Mainly Helmut Marko) is playing at and how they've potentially managed to derail 2 driver's careers in one badly thought out move. Of course we could be wrong and this could turn out to be the genius move of the season, but previous form, and they've got a LOT of previous form in this, says that it probably won't be, There's a brief few bits of other news including Ferrari's floor and Aston Martin selling shares and buying shares at the same time along with the usual healthy amount of tangents and we've even got a new Is That Glock (complete with jingle as well!)

2 weeks in to the 2025 F1 season and we think we all know which way the wind is blowing and also that it's coloured Papaya! BUT it wouldn't be an new season without a little RedBull turmoil and the meat grinder might well be called into action sooner than we expected this time round.This week on the podcast we look back at the Australian GP with its multiple disqualifications, Ferrari going from triumph to utter disaster in the space of a day and the whole will they or won't they with RedBull and Liam Lawson. The rumours coming out are fairly varied, ranging from Yuki Tsunoda is swapping seat with him for or before Japan, to Franco Collapinto is going to be in a RedBull branded car before then. One thing you can say about that team is that they never leave us short of things to talk about (which is just as well because there isn't a race next week)There's all the tangents you'd expect and the return of Is That Glock? (please, please please send some new ones in to us!)Also we’ve got the results up already for the prediction league for both races in China this past weekend, along with opening the predictions for the upcoming race at Suzuka aloong with our league in the official F1 Fantasy gameIf you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with.
