For F1's Sake

F1 2023 is underway and Max Verstappen is champion. Thanks everyone, see you for testing in 2024. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the Bahrain Grand Prix and decide to forget about the championship, instead focusing on whether we like Alonso now, what the hell Ocon was doing and why Lance Stroll can drive a car well but can’t ride a bike.

The testing is done. The moody intro shots have been taken. The shonky documentary is out. Yes, the new season of Formula 1 is about to start, so Cheeka, Phill and Terry have wearily dragged themselves back to the microphone to look back at three days of testing in Bahrain. There's a weary acknowledgement that, yes, Max Verstappen is going to run away with it, but hey, at least Aston might be OK,...

The 2023 F1 season is (nearly) go, so here’s a podcast to round up all the off-season bullshit before it gets really silly. Cheeka, Phill and Terry are in the SAME ROOM to talk new team principals, new teams (maybe), and an endless cavalcade of clusterfucks that remind us of classic F1. It’s good to be back.

Bollocks to the FIA Gala, this is the end-of-year extravaganza that the racing world has all been waiting for. Yes, it's FF1S's Annual Booze-Up and Season Review, where Cheeka, Phill and Terry are joined by actual F1 commentator Jack Nicholls to relive the highs and lows of 2022. They look back on every race and drink to excess. Thanks for all your support in '22 - Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!...

It's finally over. Even though the race for the 2022 title was actually over months ago, we had to drag out the charade to Abu Dhabi, but we made it. Well done everybody. Verstappen won again, Perez's love for him was unrequited and Charley Clark wangled a second place. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about all that, and generally veil the whole weekend in smut, as usual. Beer: ff1s.com/pintpintpint ...

We'll be honest, the F1 season has dragged on a bit in 2021. But the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend was a cracker, with action and excitement across the board. Kevin Magnussen got his first pole. George Russell got his first win, and then another one straight afterwards. But all everyone is talking about is how much of a colossal bellend Max Verstappen is. Cheeka, Phill and Terry spend most of an ho...

Remember the Mexican Grand Prix? Trying to forget it? Well, tough shit, because Cheeka, Phill and Terry are going to dredge up the tedium all over again. But then forget about it and talk about all manner of completely unrelated stuff. So, business as usual.

It’s the American Grand Prix! Again! But this time it was good, except for the boss of Red Bull dying. The racing was exciting, Verstappen wrapped up the double, and Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk all about it. Well, in amongst the various tangents and distractions that continue to plague this podcast, like an FIA official plagues Kevin Magnussen. Beer: ff1s.com/pintpintpint Shaved balls: manscaped....

Look, we’re not saying that we’ve had a strong influence on F1, but the 2022 championship was won in a shambolic, shameful and poorly executed manner, accompanied by lots of swearing. So make of that what you will. Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to dissect the delicious farce that was the Japanese Grand Prix and wonder what more hilarity awaits for the rest of the season. Beer: ff1s.co...

F1 is back after a nonsense-filled break, and joining Terry and Phill is a VERY SPECIAL GUEST HOST. The gang talks about everything from the Singapore Grand Prix, by which we mean a handful of things, and then some tangents that often aren't even related to F1. As is usual.

It’s the grand re-union no one was asking for. Like Alonso going back to McLaren, McLaren going back to Honda or Alonso going back to Enstone this week is a trip down memory lane as Terry Saunders is reunited with his old anotherf1podcast co-host, Kevin Shepherd. And they even talk a bit about Formula One Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Another week, another Verstappen victory and another catastrophic Ferrari disaster. And another disturbing Manscaped advert. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back on the Dutch Grand Prix, where flares, pit failures and angry shouting are all valid topics for discussion.

Spa is a guarantee of brilliant racing, except last year when it wasn't and this year when it also wasn't. Still, there was at least some excitement at the start with Verstappen and Leclerc charging from the back, and Hamilton forgetting how to overtake. But then... boredom. Phill and Terry are joined once again by Drew Stearne to run through the Belgian Grand Prix, with songs and inappropriate be...

Ferrari continued to go Boom in Hungary, and Phill and Terry are joined by actual F1 commentator Jack Nicholls to comb through the wreckage. They also look with incredulity at the developing saga around Alpine, Aston, Alonso and Piastri, and wonder if anyone in F1 actually knows what the hell they’re doing.

The French Grand Prix was gearing up to be the usual snoozefest, but then the Ferrari clown car came careering into the Circuit Paul Ricard, squirting us in the face with their lapel flower of incompetence. Phill and Terry are joined by proper journalist Niamh Lewis to look back at a weekend where just about everyone from Maranello (except Carlos Sainz) made a fool of themselves, just to keep us e...

Very, very occasionally our overlords ask something of us - and today is one such occassion. And so we present to you an episode of The Overview, made by producer Matt's company Rethink Audio. The episode we've picked out for you to sample is... Has women's football finally broken into the mainstream? Women’s football was once banned and derided, but some say it could now be the standard-bearer fo...

Racing! Explosions! Abuse in the crowd! Yes, it's everything we love about the Austrian Grand Prix, and some stuff we really don't like too. Cam Tait is our guest Cheeka this week, joining Phill and Terry to ponder why Red Bull couldn't win at their own Ring, why Ferrari's engine blew up and why (some of) the Fucking Dutch can't behave at a racetrack.

Every now and again, F1 delivers. At Silverstone we were served a race that had just about everything, with Ferrari simultaneously winning and fucking everything up, Zhou retiring spectacularly and several drivers actually managing to race wheel-to-wheel. Phill and Terry are joining by Carfection’s Drew Stearne to reflect on the weekend, and talk yet again about racism. Yay! Beer: ff1s.com/pintpin...

The rain promised non-stop action at the Canadian Grand Prix, and sure, qualifying was fun, but then the race was... well, it was fine. Verstappen won, Sainz couldn't get past him and Leclerc was at the back. Are Mercedes good now? Answering that question is guest host Jake Yorath, who joins Phill and Terry to talk about racist drivers, terrible pitstops and all the usual nonsense. Jake also bring...

Phill, Terry and guest host Alex Goy are back up in your earholes to discuss the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Ferrari self-destructed and Max Verstappen won his first legitimate world title. The gang talks about that, whether Max will fire his Dad, and Hamilton’s broken back, and then meander off to ruminate on musical roads, Le Mans and whether young Red Bull drivers are actually drug mules. Beer...

Monaco! The jewel in the crown of F1, except it’s a shit jewel that makes the crown look boring. Phill and Terry are joined by a new substitute Cheeka, Anouszka Tate, to talk about whether this year’s race was any better because of rain and crashes, whether Monaco will actually continue on the calendar, and whether Ferrari will just continue to fuck things up for the rest of the year. Learn more a...

With our regular host sidelined due to the introduction of a new junior team, Ollie Peart steps in to join Phill and Terry in a look back at the Spanish Grand Prix. It was more fun than we expected, chiefly thanks to incompetence on a number of levels. Something we can absolutely identify with. Enjoy!

It’s the Miami GP! And just like the event we’ve hyped it up to the max only to deliver TEDIUM. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back over a very silly event and talk about Miami porpoises, San Marino and shit grid walks. And there’s the return of the Manscaped ad. Yay!

If you're looking at the show notes, that's because you're confused by references to Button and Bernie. And that's because this is our review of the 2016 Italian Grand Prix. Some of it will be very dated. Some probably quite tasteless. But it's a snapshot we felt important to give you this week as we're all a bit ill. Back with a proper show next week... and you can support our respective recoveri...
