For Formula 1's Sake

The Imola Grand Prix weekend is upon us, bringing a silly name and memories of those we've lost along the way. Ollie, Phill and Terry skirt tactfully around the various elephants in the room and look forward to the race, but not before answering your questions in the wake of the Miami Grand Prix, with only minimal inappropritude.

Who saw that coming? Not us! In this edition of FF1S Ollie, Phil and Terry delve into the race the race that Verstappen didn't win, the Miami Grand Prix. Ollie gets very angry at an orange man, Terry falls in love with an orange bollard and Phil chats sensible F1 things, but probably had an orange before the recording. All that and of course, Terry's state of F1. Enjoy. Hey you - why not join The Whinging Moustache! Imagine a pub. The kind of one with a flat roof in a council estate.

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 megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back an an underwhelming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and ruminate on the season, before remembering that there’s an end of season episode coming up and they should probably wait for that. So most of this is just filler. Anyway, enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was simultaneously an absolute shitshow even by F1’s cackhanded standards, and yet also one of the best races of the year. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to discuss manhole destruction, what the point of the backmarker teams is, and all sorts of stuff that actually isn’t anything to do with F1 but just sort of cropped up. As usual. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/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 megaphone.fm/adchoices

This should be the São Paulo Grand Prix Episode, but unfortunately we have massively fucked up our logistics and so it isn’t. It’s just a placeholder to tell you how much we’ve Ferrari’d things up, and to apologise. But we WILL have an episode before the next Grand Prix. Almost definitely. Ok. Sorry.

Mexico arrived in a sea of stereotypes, including sombreros, mariachi music, Max Verstappen winning and Sergio Perez making a disgrace of himself. Phill, Terry and Ollie talk about all that, as well as the unexpected bonus of Daniel Ricciardo driving well, how setting up a car works and whether McLaren and Aston Martin are actually connected telepathically or something.
