Winging It F1 Podcast

A new generation of Formula E is among us as Gen3 starts on Saturday ⚡️ Freddie and Nigel go through what they expect to see during this ninth year of the all-electric championship with exclusive insight from the Valencia test! | Twitter: https://twitter.com/WingingItF1 | Nigel: https://twitter.com/NigelCJourno | Freddie: https://twitter.com/FredCoates1999 | Artwork: © FIA Formula E | Intro: © Ja...

Is he taking the Michael? No, he's shaking up F1. Andretti gave the bombshell announcement that they're partnering with General Motors on a new team for F1 from 2026 onwards, and we're very excited. Freddie wants milking but Adam and Nigel manage to steer the conversation back onto F1 and what the announcement means for the future of the sport. Not everyone around F1 is as happy as us though, and...

Happy New Year everyone! 2023 will be the Year of the Water Rabbit but it should be the Year of the Flying Fish because Winging It is up and ready for it. And we're already talking about the biggest talking points of the year, so when these are the biggest conversation topics of the year in a few months then just remember where you heard it first. Why will this year set the tone for the next decad...

So there's a silly season for the bosses now too. That's a new one but let's roll with it 😅 Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and Sauber/Audi/Alfa Romeo news today because they're all at it with personnel changes at the top. What does this mean? Does it mean anything? Is it just people putting on different t-shirts? We react to the news and give vague answers on if it means good or bad things for the fu...

We have more to speak about! Loads of random talking points are addressed in this random and chaotic dissection of the 2022 F1 Season. If you want to enjoy that then watch this episode and enjoy it!

It's season review time! In part one, we pick our top five drivers of the season, except Freddie who wants to have a top five of seven drivers. After we've explained mathematics to him, there's disagreements over four of the five positions between us - no prizes for guessing which one we do agree on. We also crown our most underrated driver of the season, or try to anyway. Let us know how and why...

Nigel's streak of podcasts is at an end as Adam and Freddie take this one, as Mattia Binotto 'resigns' at Ferrari, but what really happened? Did he just jump, did he jump before he was pushed, was he pushed into jumping or was he just pushed off the proverbial and shouted a vague phrase that sounded like 'I'm actually jumping'? We also look at who's going to replace Binotto and whether Ferrari hav...

That's a wrap! The 2022 F1 season is at an end, but we couldn't finish without a bit of controversy. Gather round, grab your cheesy nachos and your vuvuzelas as we dissect the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - the end of a chapter of a very thin book that nobody enjoyed reading. Adam and Freddie finish the season with a bang though, what did you think of the Sainz-Hamilton incident? Listen on to find out our...

It's the big showdown in Abu Dhabi. The storylines we've been tracking all season will end on Sunday for better or worse. Leclerc vs Perez. Perez vs Verstappen. Mercedes vs Ferrari. Binotto vs Ferrari. Haas vs AlphaTauri. Alfa Romeo vs Aston Martin. Alpine vs McLaren. It's just Adam and Nigel for this episode, but we still manage to get through nearly 40 minutes of chat on an essentially meaningle...

We liked that. A fantastic weekend in Brazil that still hasn't changed Nigel's mind about sprint races, but we don't let that dampen our spirits. There was the Magnussen pole, the Alpines crashing into each other twice, the Aston Martin drivers nearly crashing, George Russell getting the first win of his F1 career, Magnussen and Ricciardo crashing, a safety car, Hamilton and Verstappen crashing, N...

Hulkenback again. Yeah mad. Logan Sargeant. Yeah we like. Sau Paulo GP. Adam jinxes the race.

Here's a throwback to the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix review where things got a little heated between Nigel and Adam as they had a big debate on F1's sprint races. Ahead of the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, we thought it'd be nice if you wanted to hear their arguments in case you missed it the first time, or if you want to listen it again! (It's also Nigel's 22nd birthday when this audio file dropped......

Not the race, the race was dull. The drive was sublime. Red Bull and Max working in perfect harmony once again. In this briefer episode, we touch on the main talking points which came out of Mexico. Let's hope you enjoy Twitter: https://twitter.com/WingingItF1 Nigel: https://twitter.com/NigelCJourno Freddie: https://twitter.com/FredCoates1999 Adam: https://twitter.com/AdamDickinson01 Thumbnail + I...

Howdy y'all! We all arrived on horseback for this podcast à la Daniel Ricciardo but we forgot to press record for that bit so you get the bit we didn't have any budget to snazz up. Horses are expensive aren't they. However, this podcast went much better than Danny's race weekend, we reminisce on an already vintage battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, and what this victory will mean fo...

You know a podcast will be good when there's a full five minutes of chat from when we started recording to when we started the podcast. We did finally get onto F1, to discuss the news we couldn't fit into the Japanese GP review - Pierre Gasly will fulfill Adam's prediction of moving to Alpine (just two years too late) and De Vries will finally get his shot in a full-time seat with AlphaTauri. It's...

Well yes a lot has happened. We try to have some rational convo about all the issues of the F1 day. We don't get them all in but at least gave it a go. Let us know what you think!

Welcome to the four-shortest episode in Winging It history! Mark the date ladies and gentlemen. Today's announcement that there won't be a Red Bull announcement until the next announcement is top of the agenda, we also give a little hype to the first Japanese Grand Prix in three year - three years!!! Do you think Suzuka is more like Spa or a stretched Zandvoort? Oh and in case you were wondering -...

The excellent Aldas described the Singapore GP as "boringly dramatic" and it sort of hit the nail on the head. The race had mad peaks and stagnant troughs. Good and bad. Madness. Lots of impressiveness and lots of the opposite from drivers up and down the grid. Here is Nigel and Freddie's reaction to F1's return to Singapore.

Three-way fight, two podcasts in three days, Verstappen sat on 13 wins and that has a three in it, a lot of 3s going around right now. We talk about whether it will be a three-way swing in Singapore, and how many records Verstappen can break before the end of the season. And Alfa Romeo waited for us to release our driver market podcast to announce they've extended Zhou Guanyu's until the end of 20...

Wayne Gretzky, Nicholas Latifi, Yuki Tsunoda, the 2023 calendar and Wayne Gretsky are the main talking points for this ep, in that order. Nigel has another rant although this time Ferrari get through the podcast unscathed. Instead, we ask whether a 24-race calendar is sustainable for F1, what Tsunoda has to do to prove himself in F1 next year, what's next for Latifi and when did Gretzky retire? Le...

Nigel elected himself in charge of episode content this week, so if you're not a Mercedes fan then blame him. If you do stick around though, there's an interesting (we do say so ourselves) deep dive into where things stand between George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, and what the future holds for the pair at or outside Mercedes. Can Russell be the team leader when Hamilton leaves? Is that time going...

Let us know if this podcast was more entertaining than the race itself! Because we certainly enjoyed making it that much. Nigel was able to tear himself away from watching Emma Radacanu play in Slovenia in the tennis equivalent of GB4 to join Freddie and Adam in discussing the Italian Grand Prix, warts and all. We cover Ferrari's strategy, the late safety car decision, and Nyck de Vries plus Fredd...

We do miss each other really. Welcome to a slightly chaotic late-night episode with outtakes that'll definitely be featured for a special/blooper reel sometime down the line, where we join up to discuss the Colton Herta situation and what F1 needs to do about super licenses, plus a look ahead to Monza and Ferrari's new livery! We do love a livery. Twitter: @WingingItF1 Adam: @AdamDickinson01 Nigel...

Well a lot happened there, it was a pretty decent race. Had a level of tension, unless you did think it was a foregone conclusion Max would win... Have a look at Nigel and Freddie's reaction here!

Well, obviously you know this. But we're telling you anyway. Freddie and Nigel this time to do a quick reaction to McLaren's new signing, the 2021 F2 champion and not-an-Alpine driver, Oscar Piastri! To tooing and froing has been endless. But now it has ended. No Daniel Ricciardo but lots of Oscar Piastri. We also tack on some more silly season chat and even a bit of mid-weekend Zandvoort chat, oo...
