Winging It F1 Podcast

The Dutch Grand Prix has to be better than Belgium because we're manifesting it that hard. But there's also been a lot of driver market news, rumours, fake rumours, fake news and Italian Jesus so Adam and Nigel dive straight into that. It's the last episode before Freddie returns so you've only one more week before you can hear his dulcet tones again, but in the meantime settle in to hear the late...

Max Verstappen secured the World Championship in style didn't he? We're a bit flat after the Belgian Grand Prix's half-arsed celebration of another year on the calendar, but as usual we raise our game for the podcast like the professionals we are. Well, two of us are, but Freddie's still on holiday having a lovely time in the Caribbean so it's another Adam and Nigel two-up for this. We analyse the...

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! F1 has a new engine manufacturer and we're very excited at the promise of more. Audi are joining the grid from 2026 so Adam and Nigel roll out of bed and hop on to discuss what this means for F1, which team Audi will partner with and how far that partnership will extend. Are we talking BMW Sauber or McLaren Honda here? Plus there's some talk on Andretti's beleaguered attempt...

F1 is back! And we couldn't be more excited, except Freddie who decided to wait the whole summer break just to go on holiday as racing restarts. That doesn't matter though, a quick pundit change and we're ready to discuss the rest of the news from the summer and look ahead to what could be the last ever Belgian Grand Prix. It could also be Ferrari's last, absolutely final, no lives left chance in...

Can it be a mid-season review if there's only 9 races left? Of course it can, that would've been a full season review in 1950. Here we grade the F1 drivers, the top half of the grid has definitely done better than we did in our A-level results. And please let us know your thoughts on Twitter!

We're back for the first of two mid-season review episodes for you, dear listeners. Well, two of us are, Nigel had a bit of trouble with his WiFi and wasn't able to take much part unfortunately, apologies to the Nigel Chiu fan club. We discuss each race so far, and give it a rating building up to the Official Winging It Race of The First Half of the Season Award! We'll work on workshopping a bette...

It's been an unpredictable few weeks so we decided to make some predictions. We try and name the 2023 F1 grid, something not even the teams are capable of doing, so it's a wild ride. It's the second time we've done one of these (check out our 2021 grid prediction linked below if you want a good chuckle) and last time Bruno Senna got a shoutout. In this episode Herta, Sargeant and Pourchaire get na...

So Oscar Bloody Piastri has absolutely blown the minds of the entire F1 community! Strewth mate! - We were sitting there happily spouting conspiracy theories that the Alpine announcement of his drive was a bit sus. But we were then proved true by the man himself!! Seriously! Oh my god. Live in this episode! - What we said beforehand is still there to give a load of context but seriously, we have n...

Ferrari outdid themselves didn't they? Never in the field of human motorsport have so many beaten themselves on so many occasions. We rage against the scarlet machine and the dying of the championship light, and give a tip of the hat (comment below if there's a national Hungarian hat - we can't think of one and Google is too much effort) to Max Verstappen and Red Bull. Are Mercedes the second best...

FERNANDO ALONSO HAS MOVED TO ASTON MARTIN AHHH WHAT DOES THIS MEAN OH MY GOD HELP SILLY SEASON CHAOS CRIKEY OH MY ALPINE OSCAR PIASTRI STROLL AHH FERNANDO ALONSO FERNANDO ALONSO FERNANDO ALONSO Twitter: www.twitter.com/WingingItF1 - Nigel: twitter.com/NigelCJourno - Freddie: twitter.com/FredCoates1999 - Adam: twitter.com/AdamDickinson01 Thumbnail: © Aston Martin and Alpine Intro: © Red Bull Conten...

Well, at the end of 2022 Sebastian Vettel's time in F1 will be over. He's walking away after he finishes his second season with Aston Martin and, as you'd expect, the much loved driver is going to be hugely missed. Definitely, by us, Freddie is a big fan, Adam and Nigel have grown into supporting him a lot more as well recently. He's an excellent driver, four world championships are under his belt...

Oh, Charles mate, we all feel bad for you after that but what can we do about it. In this episode we commiserate, criticise and congratulate various drivers and teams after all the comings and goings of the French GP. We hope you enjoy Twitters: @WingingItF1 Nigel: @NigelCJourno Freddie: @FredCoates1999 Thumbnail: © Ferrari + FOM Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bonjour! The French Grand Prix is back, but the biggest news of the week is that two-thirds of the podcast is graduating! Nigel's feeling really emotional thinking about graduation, but he's managed to compose himself to discuss the Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon. It's a two-up podcast with Adam joining Nigel but Freddie still has his say from beyond the Zoom, as we question whether...

The title fight is back on! Adam and Nigel are on a doubles podcast today recapping the thrills and spills of the Austrian Grand Prix. Are Ferrari back, or is it even an all-round positive result for them. Mercedes looked good, already our opinions have changed on their fortunes for the season. Are sprint races good? Does Adam want one every week? Does Nigel hate F1 racing? We have a long-awaited...

It's British Grand Prix week!! Wooo! One of the best events on the motorsport calendar, and yes that is British bias from at least one of us! In this preview ep we discuss the Gasly news, the porpoising/bouncing debate and what we think could happen at this year's British GP. It's come round a bit earlier this year, feels weird that it's before France, but hey we take what we're given and if we're...

F1 is back in Canada and back on form with what was a proper motor race . We all love a dash of chaos every now and again but a straight fight between two drivers performing at an exemplary level is pure tense joy and that's what the first race in Montreal since 2019 was for us. We loved it. Some excellent performances through the field as per and surprisingly very few bad ones so yay! Bad one fro...

Is it over for Ferrari? Check out our reaction to the Azerbaijan GP which was a bit dull but will be pivotal for this year's title fight!

With Freddie and Adam both on various holidays, Nigel has brought in a couple of temporary replacements this week - two people who have got to know him quite well this year, Henry Clark and Charlie Haffenden, to talk about the state of F1.

We could not be happier for Checo, honestly what a Monaco GP. We give our reaction after a day to come down from that highly dramatic race weekend, we hope you enjoy!

Excellent race to watch and some excellent drives too. Max Verstappen won in Barcelona coming back from a spin whilst Leclerc broke down and lost an almost certain victory for Ferrari. Mercedes were also in play for once and George Russell led their first laps of the season. Up and down the field there were good stories which we focus on as well and even have a little preview of Monaco, we hope yo...

Ah, Barcelona, the spiritual home of F1 developments! That's already the theme of this year's weekend! In this sort of preview, we have a few discussions about this year's F1 season and what it's amounting to as well as some Spain chat and transfer chat. We hope you enjoy! | Twitters: twitter.com/WingingItF1 | Nigel: twitter.com/NigelCJourno | Freddie: twitter.com/FredCoates1999 | Adam: twitter.co...

Max Verstappen makes it three wins from three...races he's finished in 2021. Two DNFs, three wins and a sprint victory, despite the unreliability this Red Bull package is looking fierce and, for Ferrari, worrying. All they could do was sit and watch as Verstappen overtook both Sainz and Leclerc early on in the race whilst heading to victory. In this actually episode we talk all things top four, we...

We're going to Miami! Have you also had that going around your head this week? Finally, after years of trying, Liberty's flagship race in Miami is going ahead. It's not on the beachfront, it's in Miami Gardens in an area where the community don't want it there and it's a bit of a paddock club grand prix, BUT, it's Miami. Bit tricky to get hyped but we'll see, tracks that didn't inspire have really...

That ominous championship lead came down quite quickly for Charles Leclerc in Imola after a 1-2 finish for Red Bull threw Max Verstappen right back into the title fight! We go over our immediate reaction to the race, discussing Max's dominance, Checo's wingmanning and where Ferrari lost it! See you next week for our Miami preview!

Of course, we record this highly international podcast the day before Carlos Sainz had his contract renewed until 2024 at Ferrari. But anyway we're publishing it and we talk about some brilliant topics, we preview the return of Sprint events and why we're actually vaguely positive about it whilst also going on many tangents about team philosophies, where some teams in the ever-changing pecking ord...
