Superlicense F1 Podcast -- A different look at Formula 1

Well it was a steady victory for Hamilton and Mercedes, but that was far from the full story. Beyond the race we find out which team is literally 3D printing parts, farewell the Malaysian Grand Prix and ask "Who cares about Practice?".

Yawwwwn, just another Hamilton pole and win... WHAT?!? Zach takes the reigns and Rod brings a little bit of the glitz and glamor of the F1 Paddock into your ears whether you asked him to or not. Find out if the threat from Ferrari is real, how much Paddock Club passes cost, and which F1 driver loves dirty jokes.

Time to settle back into your Formula One viewing nook and join us for a crash course on driver movements and first-impressions of this season's liveries. Celebrating the return of Felipe Massa (and lamenting the loss of his namesake Felipe Nasr) is old friend of the show Fernando Campos from the Podcast F1 Brazil crew. 

How about that for a crazy post-season? Rod and Zach couldn't possibly cover all the action from such a bumper season, so we joined forces with old mates Box of Neutrals for another sparkling season recap featuring our Top 5 moments from the year.

What a final act the 2016 season had in store for us! We discuss whether Hamilton was "right" to disobey his team, reflect on the battle that nearly brought Mercedes to its knees at several points throughout the season and ask what lies ahead, then Zach brings it home our pun-ultimate Superquiz.

Nobody would have held it against you if you nodded off during the extremely long Brazilian Grand Prix. If you missed any of the action never fear, Rod and Zach bring you all the crashes and splashes of the raintastic race. In one of our final opportunities to do so we have a peak behind the curtain of the career of Felipe Massa in this week's Superquiz and speculate about Red Bull's young driver...

Even we aren't sure who really finished 3rd in Mexico. Instead we entertained further rumours about the driver market, christened F1's young speedsters in the superquiz, and learned more about Zach's social etiquette than he is comfortable with.

Lewis Hamilton struck back in Austin which just shows what he can do when he sets his mind to it, Rod and Zach return to deconstruct the race, ponder the end game for Kvyat at Toro Rosso and can Rod fashion an entire F1-related quiz around Taylor Swift? 

Has Hamilton full cooked it? What's a better solution than blue flags? Is the Haikuquiz the greatest one of all time? All these questions and several others and answered to varying degree as Rod and Zach cover all the colour and controversy from the Japanese Grand Prix.

What an exciting time to be an Australian F1 fan! Not only has the championship swung wildly into Rosberg favour, there was plenty of controversy from the race and if that article about how a bolt on an F1 car is engineered then we have a Superquiz for you!

Nico Rosberg delivers a commanding performance to reclaim the lead in the championship, we dissect the Daniil Kvyat comeback, we dive into all other news kicking around the sport and Rod asks Zach "Have Your Been Paying Attention?" in the latest edition of the SuperQuiz.

We'll remember characters like Jenson Button and Felipe Massa long after the 2016 Italian GP is forgotten, but we dissect everything that caught our eyes and reflect on a departing drivers' career in our SuperQuiz.

How great is having no F1 to watch, right? Never fear because the Superlicense lads are here to bridge the gap of the summer break with their typical Formula One banter and to help us lift the standards are The Grid Girls, Sasky and Sarah, to teach us a lot about other forms of motorsport and a little about ourselves.

Hamilton is well on his way to winning the championship by something like 10,000 points after another crushing victory in Germany so we lighten the mood with some positive F1 News headlines and we look back at a very famous occurrence in F1 history for this week's quiz.

Hamilton takes the lead in the championship and many hoped and expected, but does he know why they are called "shawls" are called that? Unlikely. We dig deep into the Hungarian Grand Prix and turn a boring race in a discussion that sparkles with wit and insight and if you like quizzes about radio and telemetry then you'll love our quiz about those very same things.

We were primed to see another classic Mercedes battle but instead it was a dominant performance from Hamilton and some controversial radio for Rosberg rained on his parade. In our patented SuperQuiz (patent pending) we look at Hamilton's achievements around Silverstone and beyond, we also inaugurated the Rio Harayanto cheersquad and speculate wildly about the Rules of Engagement.

Rosberg and Hamilton locked horns yet again and of-course we shared our deepest thoughts and feelings, but because Austria was such a racing feast that we tried to serve up a few additional courses as well as the usual racing news whiparound and we learn what the "secret button" on all F1 cars does.

Well, that was some race. It's not often we think that our show is more entertaining than the race, but this week we are feeling pretty confident. Rod and Zach recap the week that was in F1 news and cover all three of the talking points from Baku, but the excitement truly erupts during the closest SuperQuiz in history.

Rod and Zach cover the Canadian Grand Prix, dig into a lacklustre weekend for both Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Rosberg, cast dispersions about Ferrari's strategy and uncover Lewis Hamilton's beverage of choice.

It was upsetting, unpredictable and tense; the Monaco Grand Prix was divisive and we had a lot to say about it. Besides dissecting where it all went wrong for Red Bull and Daniel Ricciardo, we examine the Hamilton/Ricciardo incident, bemoan the numerous lousy overtaking attempts that went wrong and in a Superlicense first, Rod drops a meta quiz.

The debut episode of "Drift", something completely new from Superlicense F1. Rod and Zach dedicate 30 mins to discuss whatever takes their fancy and giving everyone a taste of what's in store for Superlicense Club members. Superlicense Club is just $2 per month and features heaps of benefits including regular episodes of Drift, fortnightly emails, giveaways and plenty more. Sign up here: www.super...

What a great race, one for the ages and a race that announces the arrival of Max Verstappen as the prodigy that we all suspected that he truly was and we saw Rosberg draw a line in the sand. Zach uses the Superquiz to plumb the depths of former Toro Rosso drivers named "Sebastian" while Rod struggles to hold it together mentally and even remember correct drivers names' (Raikkonen is second in the...

How about Kvyat and Verstappen swapping seats, eh? You'd hate to have recorded the show before that was announced, what a waste of time without including that. Still, we gave it our all covering the Russian GP, speculate about the driver market, brush up our book-learning and discuss how men and women are sometimes different.

Three great races in a row and Rod and Zach are here to give you the low down from the F1 Paddock. It's Rod's birthday so, as is tradition, Zach takes the reigns and guides us through the latest F1 news headlines, a recap of the race, a Superquiz that just won't quit and the return of a fan favourite segment... F1 DREAMS!
