Box of Neutrals F1 Podcast

We bring in the first week of the enforced midseason shutdown with Dieter Rencken and Trent Price in a discussion about the seismic movements in the broader motorsport world while Peter McGinley talks about Pringles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We speculate about Paul di Resta’s rapid rise back to F1 after some people became ill, Robert Kubica's single-day test becomes more noteworthy than an entire grand prix, and we ask McGinley what he thinks about halo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Box of Neutrals gets Kubica fever ahead of his first modern F1 car test, Rob asks Peter more about his digestive system than you'll ever need to know, and Michael goes to Magyarország for the nagydíj. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Peter says he's allergic to work, Michael makes the show's first reference to Jerome d’Ambrosio's in many years, and Rob catastrophically attempts to pronounce Magyar Nagydij. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feat Dieter Rencken. Peter gets excited about schnitzels, Rob eschews the radio microphone for your common or garden-variety mobile telephone, Michael is still in Europe — but he's not in Mykonos — and Dieter renckens McLaren-Honda might not be over yet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sebastian Vettel's visit to the FIA this week has been all the rage, so naturally we spend most of our time talking about Jolyon Palmer and Robert Kubica, at least one of whom isn't a Formula One driver. We don’t confuse Austria for Australia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael makes travel plans based on the wrong calendar, Rob learns to spell Azerbajian (sic) and Peter confesses to a concerning story about his conduct at a 60th birthday party — and none of them sideswipes a car in the process. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a week of the letter K, we wade through Monisha Kaltenborn's split with Sauber, the race in Baku and the 2018 F1 Kalendar, and Peter McGinley tells a very boring story to prepare for a probably boring Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In perhaps our least relevant episode of the year Peter is obliged to respond to a barrage of your #AskMcGinley questions. Michael and Rob, who did actually watch the race, ask whether McLaren-Honda is cooked, and we don’t talk about Jacques Villeneuve. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Dieter Rencken. We preview the Canadian Grand Prix — or, for Australian fans, the disgusting breakfast diet grand prix. We have an unusually optimistic chat with Dieter Rencken for Whadaya Rencken, and Peter tries his hand at hardware sales. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We wonder whether Kimi Räikkönen inherited Lewis Hamilton's tag of most #robbed driver in the Monaco Grand Prix before discussion devolves into nostalgia about suburban bread factories. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BoN13: unlucky for some? Rob catches a cold, Michael gets 1996 and 2004 confused, and Peter still doesn't have his licence. We try to talk about the Indianapolis 500 but end up talking about fast food instead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Spanish Grand Prix overperforms, Red Bull Racing underperforms, and Peter McGinley refuses to perform — unless there's a bazooka-fired T-shirt in it for him. We pay credit to a classic TV show soundtrack. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Dieter Rencken. We talk fake bribes, Jenson Button's fake motivation, and fake improvements to F1 car liveries, plus the elusive 'KFC Zinger Replay' also makes a fleeting cameo for no real reason. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trent Price from eRacing Magazine stands in for Rob James to review a Russian Grand Prix that can only be described as 'a race', and Peter McGinley considers the need for electrified fences in Formula One. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We commemorate the one-year anniversary of Daniil Kvyat's survival in the face of Helmut Marko, and Peter requires gratuitous use of the censor tone while butchering your selected excerpts from famous scripts. Once you've heard Peter's renditions, visit the website to review the original in all their obviously inferior glory (and uncensored swearing). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mor...

Peter discovers a sound effect called 'sound effect' in the database, so we revive an age-old and deeply outdated radio game to name it, and we buy a personal supply of Fernando Alonso tin hats after his third successive DNF. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley brings back an Irish gift for Michael and Rob, who are shocked he managed to smuggle it through customs. Dieter Rencken lays into Honda in our monthly political segment Whadaya Rencken. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael flies to China, where he isn't arrested for associating with Peter McGinley; Pete flies to Ireland, where there is no grand prix; and Trent Price joins Rob for the Chinese GP preview, where he is subjected to obscure Australian TV references. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Craig Scarborough. The Australian Grand Prix is won by a car that isn't a Mercedes, Peter McGinley never comes home from the infamous Albert Park Pete's Bar, and Michael and Rob talk Ferrari's recovery and the benefits of vinyl with Scarbs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Andrew Westacott, Rodney Gordon, Trent Price, and Abhishek Takle. We set unreasonable expectations for the 2017 season to preview the Australian Grand Prix, Peter McGinley discovers a new sound effect, and we dip our toes into coverage of US politics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Peter McGinley is tickled pink by the upcoming Australian Grand Prix and Andre Rieu but not by McLaren-Honda's performance or the ABC's pronunciation of his name. We also talk about acid reflux and the South Pacific nation of Tokelau. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We consider just how cooked the McLaren-Honda project is, the ABC flirts with the idea of replacing Peter McGinley with CGI, and Dieter Rencken tells us what he Renckened about the F1 offseason. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Box of Neutrals returns for 2017 with a slightly new cast in vaguely different outfits, but what hasn’t changed is McLaren-Honda, Felipe Massa, or Peter McGinley's love of the letter 'K'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Box of Neutrals is joined by Superlicense Podcast's Rodney Gordon and Zach Priest to celebrate Peter McGinley's ability to make his own sound effects and other developments from the 2016 Formula One season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
