Peter McGinley goes on his midseason break, bankrupting Felipe Massa of confidence and sending him into retirement. Michael and Rob discuss the effect of football hooliganism on motor racing, but the Herald Sun doesn't buy it.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With the return of racing for the Belgian Grand Prix upon us after the F1 midseason break, we ask the question no-one else will: is Lewis Hamilton a weather god? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael returns from his trip to find Peter has become a QC and Rob has forgotten the names of some Formula One drivers despite Box of Neutrals being a largely F1-based programme. Nothing else of interest happens. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley finds a new theme, Rob James talks about his dry lips, and Michael Lamonato asks Dieter what he Renckens about European trucking logistics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Craig Scarborough. Michael interviews respected technical expert Craig Scarborough to Budapest's most glamorous F1 hot spot, Peter talks about soiled pants, and Rob reminisces about radio news themes of eras past. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob makes more references to radio personalities from other stations than is probably reasonable, Peter McGinley makes more references to Neighbours, and Michael makes reference to Fernando Alonso's marital status. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Dieter Rencken. Michael is mistaken for Peter by a Dutchman, Peter makes some political jokes, and Rob makes an unsolicited reference to the Beatles, but none of this matters because this is a radio show and therefore probably banned by the FIA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Peter returns from Macau, where he tells us there's a famous race sometimes held; Michael travels to a UK fish and chips shop to attempt to reverse Brexit, or, failing that, for the grand prix; and Rob gets his fix of Lyndsay Buckingham for the season.

Formula One pre-empts Brexit by hosting a European Grand Prix outside Europe, Michael and Rob pre-empt the boring race review by talking about Le Mans, and Peter McGinley pre-empts going home by trying to wrap up #AskMcGinley before it starts.

Peter thanks Rob and Michael for allowing his to tweet the Canadian Grand Prix, we trial an intra-show honesty system, and this week's Ask McGinley concerns the price of beef. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley voluntarily signs up to run the #ABCF1 twitter commentary for the Canadian Grand Prix. We ask Dieter what he Renckens about Rengines, which will make marginally more sense after listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lewis Hamilton is #blessed, Daniel Ricciardo is #robbed, and Sergio Perez was also on the podium but not associated with any particular social media sentiment. #qanda Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sauber wants more money, Williams wants more drivers, Daniil Kvyat wants more points, and Peter McGinley wants more ownership of his intellectual property. Plus we consider the difference between pink and purple for our Monaco GP preview. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Some young guy wins the Spanish Grand Prix, but no-one's sure who he was because there was no post-race show in Australia. We make ABC Grandstand's first and probably last ever reference to Plácido Domingo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We exclusively break the biggest news story of 2016 by revealing Max Verstappen will replace Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull Racing. Plus, despite being a mere fourth in the championship, Williams is literally saving lives of newborn babies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There mightn't be anything about Kvyat and Verstappen's seat swap, but there's some top-notch banter about the very relevant Pastor Maldonado and a Victorian power station. Frankly, you won't even know the biggest story of the year is missing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jacques Villeneuve unironically tells F1 drivers to shut up, Peter McGinley is warned about tattoo parlours, and because Box of Neutrals is 100 per cent live (ahem), our preview of the Chinese Grand Prix is very, very complete. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time zones strike again and we fail to mention that qualifying has changed (again), Peter McGinley drops a three-week old joke, and we make good on a promise for the first time in years, and it happens to be hamburger-related. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Featuring Dieter Rencken.
