Beyond The Racing Line - Formula 1 Podcast

Red flags, red cars and red tempers were the order of the weekend as Mugello took charge. If we needed a reminder of how amazing Formula 1 can be then these past two weekends have delivered in spades. It was business as usual the front but all eyes were on the midfield. Carnage, carnage and more carnage as those scrapping for points ended up having them handed to them on a plate. Bottas brought a...

FORZA ITALIA! If Germany was the race of the decade then Monza was the race of the century and by all accounts you'd be hard pressed to go past Gasly as the driver of the year. It's a jam packed episode, race review, driver rankings, dud of the day, fantasy, news, beyond the bet, fan questions, Mugello preview, recommendations and not a single red flag to slow us down! So with that said we won't b...

Its the Belgian GP and we were greeted with a race we all didn't expect. 2020 has delivered many challenges but right now F1 is crying out for a challenger!

With Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen seemingly glued to the podium where will our knight in shining armour come from? Enter Danny...

The Spanish flu hit F1 fans hard as they struggled through the weekend but don't worry as the BTRL boys have the vaccination ready at hand. Yes it was the Spanish GP, or as some titled it...zzz. Surprisingly there's a lot to talk about this week. We kick off as always with the race review and race rankings. Hamilton is untouchable at the moment and questions are now being asked is the season over?...

Happy 70th and although we are nowhere near 70 yrs of age we still enjoyed the party that F1 threw this week. Our opening question was a belter this week, alternate race endings. Tyres tyres and more tyres, the Pirellie team took us back a compound but were we blanketed with the rubber all weekend or is that what we need more of in the future. Race review is jam packed this week and every team pla...

It's race week or if your the social media team at Ferrari it's Rawe Ceek! And it's the heart of British motor sport, the mighty Silverstone. If you went to bed prior to lap 51 then spoiler alert it was an epic finish! Hamilton dragging his Merc across the line in dramatic fashion, one that will go down as one of the most memorable finishes to a GP. And for Bottas our hearts collectively broke. Th...

Welcome back to another week of racing and another episode of BTRL. This week its the Hungarian GP. It was a race of sorts and a race of nothingness. This week we look at the race from a team by team perspective, who were the major winners, lovers and surprise packets of the weekend. The Racing Points are under heavy investigation. Will they be found guilty or innocent, what are your thoughts on t...

Back to back and back into the swing of it. The first double header has been run and win and it was Lewis Hamilton who rose from the ashes of 4th to bounce back in a wet weather master-class. This week we kick off the ep by unpacking qualifying, the rain came down and we almost didn't get going. Was the right call made? Is it time for a review of the wet tyre or the format? Our race review dives i...

This week we unpack the future calendar, with Singapore and Japan now off the cards we turn our attention to future tracks, with Mugello or Imola get a run? Podiums are set to look very different so we thought we take our spin on what these should look like. Aston Martin have dominated t...

Yes it's been a long few months as we have waited, and waited and waited to find out when the lights will officially go out for season 2020.

Are you for or against reverse grids? Who takes the lead of the championship after...

This week the boys review what went down last weekend in one of the most manic seat swaps in recent history as Vettel pulled the trigger. Who was the biggest winner and loser? Ah and Alonso, yes he's back in the conversation with many (including Roger)warming to the idea that Tristan's man will be back on the grid, what is your take? And with many seats available what does this mean for the rest o...

We are back in what seems to be the longest pre season of our lives. With so many cancellations and postponements the BTRL boys are one thing you can count on. You would think that there wouldn't be much to talk about in the F1 world, but you would be wrong. This week we dive into news and the speculation about what the next season may look like, sprints, short season or super-season? We give our...

The F1 and Motorsport world is in the lurch as the recent cancellation of the Australian GP has left us with more questions than we can possibly answer. This week's episode tackles some of those. We look into driver contracts, will there be movement without racing, many drivers may find it hard to more or be moved on with current form, where can you see drivers going or are we locked in a stalemat...

Formula 1 is back, well almost, but that is enough to get the boys out of hibernation and about time too.

It's lights off and away we go, yes that's it for the home and away season of 2019 and didn't we finish with an absolute blinder?! No, the answer to that is no we didn't, in fact we were as disappointed as a fat kid in a fruit shop. Yes Abu Dhabi was the name of the game. But don't worry the lack of on track action was negated by fuel gate, with Leclerc under investigation pre race for a 5kg diff...
