For F1's Sake

Look, we expected little. Aside from the first-lap hilarity, we got sweet naff all and possibly one of the dullest races in F1 history. Still, well done Charlie Clark, eh? Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at the boredom, consider the Senna hysteria and then get muddled up with something else or other. Roll on Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

Amid memories of a tragic day, Imola returned to the F1 calendar and after touching all our hearts turned out to be a shit day of dull racing. But it did at least give us hope that McLaren continue to catch Red Bull and that maybe the title battle will last a little longer than last year. Ollie, Phill and Terry consider all of this, get distracted by Terry's neighbour and generally get inappropriate about anything and everything, because that's just what they do.

After five years away, the Chinese Grand Prix returned with a flurry of rain, flaming grass and an all-too-predictable result.

Also, we find out which F1 drivers Ollie nearly killed and saw in their pants. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this preview episode of FF1S, Ollie, Phill and Terry prepare to welcome back the Chinese Grand Prix, a race we'd forgotten about and have no strong feelings about one or the other. Phill wholeheartedly embraces cliché as he takes a deep dive into the Shanghai International Circuit and the wonders that await us, but only after the team answers your questions.

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.

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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.

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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.

After months of waiting, the Bahrain Grand Prix delivered a fizzle and a result that we’ll probably be seeing a lot of. Again. But F1 is at least still delivering the drama - it’s just happening on WhatsApp. Allegedly. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at the race in Bahrain and tiptoe delicately across a legal tightrope to explore the Hornygate saga with all the sensitivity you’ve come to expect.

F1 is nearly back! And it's not going away for a while. Ollie, Phill and Terry take a deep breath and look back at the off-season news, of which there was a lot, and pre-season testing, of which there wasn't much. As well as our usual cutting-edge insight and analysis there's also an update from Terry on whether or not he's done any new t-shirt designs like he promised, and also we're opening a pub. WHAAA?

Never mind the final race of the season, never mind the annual FIA prize-giving – this is what it all comes down to. The FF1S gang gather IN PERSON, at an ACTUAL PUB to debate the 2023 Formula 1 season and all who sailed in her. We'll reflect on the good, the bad, the hilariously inept and the grudgingly rather impressive, before pronouncing an actual winner that isn't Max Verstappen. It's the only record he doesn't have. Listen, be merry, buy us a drink (pintpintpint) and we'll see you in 2024. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Better late than never, Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to try and remember what happened in the São Paulo Grand Prix, while also looking forward the the gaudy, neon-drenched clusterfuck that the Las Vegas GP will probably be. We also hear about Terry’s Miami adventures and why Phill makes bad car choices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

F1 has returned to the Americas with a race dominated by talking in the braking zone, tyre strategies and the fact there are still bits of wood bolted to the bottom of the cars.

Qatar promised little but deivered chaos, vomit, crashes and a world championship. And all we needed was oppressive heat and some shitty tyres. Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to relive the Doha debacle, with the usual tangents and edited-out offensive bits. Listen, and try not to feel too poorly to finish.

Would Japan be Red Bull’s downfall after the shocker of Singapore? No. Utter dominance returned and Red Bull are six-time champions. But also McLaren are good, Perez is shit and who will get the boot next season? All this and much more unrelated nonsense is discussed by Phill and Terry, with Ollie Peart trying to keep everything in check. And largely failing.

Best race of the year? And all we had to do was completely nobble the Red Bulls for mysterious yet apparently not-at-all dodgy reasons. Singapore was a bit of a classic and didn't even need rain to spice it up. Phill and Terry are joined by guest host Drew Stearne to talk about all the drama on the streets of Marina Bay, including the crashes, the strategy, tarantulas on trains and the contents of Terry's bin.

Monza. The home of Ferrari, the home of the tifosi. The home of a surprisingly good performance from the Maranello team. Not good enough to win, obviously, but still. Phill and Terry are taken aback at Ferrari's not-shit performance, and with guest host Drew Stearne reflect on the Italian Grand Prix with an unusual amount of insight.
