26-“..Rules are Rules..” 10.07.2026 53:01
It was a hot one… in more ways than one! 🔥🏁 Jordan and I got stuck into everything that happened at Silverstone last weekend, and let’s just say… we didn’t exactly see eye to eye on the race finishing behind the Safety Car! 🤣 We had a proper debate about whether it was the right call, and neither of us was prepared to back down! It was refreshing to see Ferrari back on the top step… and, just t...
26-“..The weekend was alive with Russel and Trackhouse..” 03.07.2026 54:45
🎶 The hills were alive… well, not with the sound of music, but with the roar of F3, F2 and, of course, the main event – Formula 1! And Mercedes suddenly look like a team right back in the fight… again! 👀 Jordan and I break down everything from an action-packed weekend in Austria, including George Russell’s much-debated pole position after Verstappen’s off, Ferrari’s frustrating lack of race pace...
25-“..we are coming for you..” 25.06.2026 39:11
‘We are coming for you…’ That’s probably what the likes of Pecco Bagnaia, Marc Márquez, Di Giannantonio and Pedro Acosta are thinking after Aprilia have seemingly self-destructed over the last two MotoGP weekends. The Czech GP certainly wasn’t Aprilia’s finest hour and, with the factory Ducatis sharing the victories across the weekend, the championship is becoming increasingly fascinating. Jordan...
24-“..now, about the REAL 24hr race in…Middlesbrough..” 18.06.2026 34:40
This latest episode isn’t just about the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, where a famous victory saw arguably the greatest driver of all time finally take a win in Ferrari colours. We also discuss McLaren looking seriously competitive, Mercedes having a somewhat mediocre race despite showing flashes of pace throughout the weekend, Alpine and Racing Bulls proving to be the most consistent midfield...
22-“..Bad luck, or no luck at all..” 11.06.2026 57:53
This episode sees Jordan and I discussing — and at times disagreeing about — the latest action from MotoGP at Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary, the Monaco Grand Prix, IndyCar, and the BTCC at Oulton Park. We chat about the battle between the pretender to the throne, Pedro Acosta, and the current king, Marc Márquez, as they continue their fight for supremacy. We also discuss the incredible rise of K...
21-“..The Italian Job..” 03.06.2026 39:08
This episode was an absolute delight for Jordan and I to record…mainly because it was an absolute delight watching MotoGP at Mugello! An Italian rider, on an Italian bike, winning in Italy…yes, Marco Bezzecchi and Aprilia did the honours in stunning fashion. Pecco Bagnaia arguably had his strongest weekend in months, while an injured Marc Marquez was still impressively competitive throughout. Else...
20-“..Toto has a good headache..” 30.05.2026 50:51
Headaches…they are not pleasant are they really…Toto has a headache, and potentially a big one…with both of his drivers on the verge of knocking lumps out of each other’s cars, it’s going to be a fascinating battle in the Mercedes F1 camp. Jordan and I discuss all the action from last weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, where McLaren faulted, Lewis was in great form, and plenty of other talking points...
19-“..Chaos, pure Chaos..” 20.05.2026 1:02:34
It was chaos…pure chaos. And honestly, Jordan and I are probably quite glad this particular MotoGP weekend is over. What should have been another brilliant weekend of racing turned into a reminder that motorsport is dangerous and always will be. Two red flags in the main MotoGP race brought plenty of debate — should race control simply have stopped things after the first red flag? Or did they get...
18-“..Martinator is..BACK!!..” 13.05.2026 52:20
How much more can Marc Márquez’s body take after his crash in last weekend’s MotoGP sprint race? That was just one of the big talking points Jordan and I discussed as we reflected on all the action from the incredible French motorcycle Grand Prix weekend at Bugatti Circuit. Jorge Martín is definitely up for a battle with team mate Marco Bezzecchi for the world championship, while other riders expe...
17-“..no pressure George, but…” 08.05.2026 46:01
This episode of The Apex Podcast sees Jordan and I reflecting on last week’s F1, Formula E, WSBK & BSB action, along with the incredibly sad news surrounding the passing of one of motorsport’s genuinely nicest people, Alex Zanardi. From his horrific IndyCar crash in 2001 that changed his life forever, to becoming a multiple Paralympic gold medalist and an inspiration to millions around the world,...
16-“..keep on running..” 29.04.2026 1:01:48
Jordan and I dive into the rollercoaster that was the MotoGP weekend at Jerez — featuring what might just be the best sprint race yet, with mixed conditions throwing up a completely unexpected podium. Alex Márquez dominated from start to finish, sealing his second win at his home circuit, while Aprilia’s recent dominance finally hit a pause. We also chat about Quiles continuing his impressive run...
15-“..I can drive and own, simple really..” 22.04.2026 46:09
Another wait was finally over—and the roar of touring cars signalled the start of a brand-new season at Donington Park. In this episode, Jordan and I dive headfirst into the opening rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, where the usual mix of chaos, contact, and close racing didn’t disappoint. One of the big talking points was how Jason Plato’s team fared as the season got underway—still...
14-“..Home, sweet home..” 15.04.2026 41:55
It feels like our second home…that’s what Jordan and I always say whenever we head to Silverstone Circuit. Over the years, we’ve experienced it in just about every way possible—watching Formula One, MotoGP and British Touring Car Championship, seeing Jordan compete in Formula Student, cycling 50 miles around the track, and even running a half marathon on this iconic circuit. In this episode, we’re...
13-“..ITS TRANSFER TIME!! or is it?..” 08.04.2026 48:37
Is it ever too early to start talking about the future in motorsport? We don’t think so… With only a handful of races gone in both Formula 1 and MotoGP, the rumour mill is already spinning at full speed. Whispers of driver moves, rider switches, contract clauses, and even potential retirements are beginning to surface across both paddocks—and you know we couldn’t ignore it. In this episode, Jordan...
12-“..CRASH, BOOM, BANG..” 01.04.2026 59:40
Crashes, controversy, and domination… is motorsport heading in the right direction? 🤔 Is the new era of Formula 1 starting to feel more like a video game than real racing? Are Aprilia Racing setting up a season of total control in MotoGP? Is Superbike World Championship turning into a one-rider show? And is Álex Palou already on course for another dominant year in IndyCar Series? Jordan and I div...
11-“..look at us, we’re better than you..” 25.03.2026 54:23
The guard is changing…or at least, that’s how it feels after Round 2 of the Brazilian MotoGP. Aprilia Racing really stamped their authority—looking seriously strong in the sprint race and then backing it up with a stunning one-two finish in the main race. That’s definitely given the likes of Ducati Lenovo Team, Repsol Honda Team and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing something to think about moving forwa...
10-“..Hey, what about us in the midfield..” 18.03.2026 52:44
Is it like the most expensive version of Super Mario Kart ever… or just pure pleasure watching F1 drivers go wheel-to-wheel using nothing but skill and experience? 🏁 That was just the start of what Jordan and I got into after the Chinese Grand Prix 🇨🇳 We’re talking: 🔥 McLaren heartbreak 😤 Max Verstappen frustration 😎 Lewis Hamilton all smiles 🌟 A teenager driving like a seasoned pro and takin...
8-“..The Good, Bad and the Ugly of F1..” 11.03.2026 1:08:40
After months of rumours, speculation, excitement and a few worries along the way, the Formula 1 season finally got underway in Melbourne last weekend. With brand new regulations, new teams, new drivers and plenty of unknowns, Jordan and I sat down to discuss and debate what the 2026 F1 season might have in store. We also chat about the latest from F3 and F2, look back at last weekend’s IndyCar rac...
8-“..Is he the pretender to the throne?..” 04.03.2026 50:10
⸻ The wait is over… MotoGP is BACK! The 2026 season roared into life in Thailand and it absolutely delivered. From a thrilling sprint race to a potential shake-up in the main event, there was drama everywhere you looked. Aprilia and Acosta impressed, while Ducati and Bagnaia didn’t quite shine as brightly as expected. Add in electrifying Moto2 and Moto3 battles and the opening weekend was an absol...
7-“..done and dusted already?..” 25.02.2026 34:01
Is it already game over in Superbike World Championship after just ONE round? After Nicolo Bulega absolutely dominated at Australian Round, are we witnessing the start of a title procession… or is it way too early to call? Are Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team already in serious trouble this season? Is Francesco Bagnaia to Aprilia Racing in 2027 basically done and dusted? 👀 And is Damon Hill r...
6-“..will blue flags be needed for the Aston Martins?..” 18.02.2026 52:38
Controversy. Performance questions. Media overload. From the yellow flag debate at the Bathurst 12 Hour… To whether Aston Martin have fallen further back than expected… To Romain Grosjean’s IndyCar future… And the big one — is modern F1 becoming more soap opera than sport? Jordan and I had a proper debate on this one — disagreements, strong opinions and plenty of passion.
5-“..Schumacher jnr to Indy Car…should be interesting..” 11.02.2026 53:53
This episode idJordan and me behind the mic, and we’ve got plenty to get stuck into… 🔹 F1 Liveries Breakdown We run through the final Formula 1 car liveries before the rest of the grid is revealed in Bahrain — and yes… we do not agree on the Cadillac look 👀 One of us is a fan. The other… absolutely not. 🔹 MotoGP & The Fans We chat about MotoGP’s growing interaction with fans and why that connec...
4-“..has the silly season started already?..” 04.02.2026 46:26
Ooooh yes… the motorsport silly season clearly didn’t get the memo about waiting for the first race lights to go out 😆🏁 In the latest episode, Jordan and I get stuck into the rumours flying around the paddock… Quartararo to Honda? Martin to Yamaha? Too early… or already in motion? 👀 And that’s just the start. We also chat about: 🏎️ F1 Barcelona shakedowns – what we’ve learned (and what we defin...
3-“..in the beginning, there were 4 wheels..” 28.01.2026 1:05:06
Where did it all start for Jordan and his love of motorsport? From his first steps into the karting world, racing all around the UK, to reaching his ‘final’ at the Le Mans World Championship… was that really the end of the road? Heading to Coventry University to study Motorsport Engineering, Jordan found himself back in the thick of it. Universities compete in the BUKC(British University karting C...
2-“..F1 & MotoGP livery’s ? Will The Hulk really care?..” 21.01.2026 50:12
With the F1 and MotoGP seasons not far away, it’s that exciting time of year when new liveries are revealed and, in Formula 1, we get our first proper look at the cars under the latest regulations. Jordan and I chat about which teams have nailed it visually so far – with HAAS in particular looking very sharp at the moment. Over in MotoGP, Ducati’s livery is looking the part, while Aprilia have unv...
