The Motorsport REView

Happy New Year Motorsport fans! Where has the time gone - 2025 saw our first year as a podcast come and go, so we are now already into our second year. As a result, it felt like a very good time to give both the podcast and some of our resident panelists the chance to reintroduce themselves ahead of 2026. If you are a returning listener (thank you!) then you may also learn something new about the...

Has the 2025 Formula 1 season really finished already? 24 races FLEW by and of course it was McLaren and Lando Norris that have claimed the Championships - who could have predicted that? Well prior to the season beginning, myself and Keith tried to do exactly that! But how did we do? In the second half of the season review, we look at the top 5 teams of 2025. Surprises, disappointments, mid-season...

Well prior to the season beginning, myself and Keith tried to do exactly that! But how did we do? In the first half of our season review, we look at the teams in the bottom half of the constructors standings and e...

This is it - 23 F1 weekends have been and gone, and it all comes down to 1 final Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris. Only 1 of them would be crowned the 2025 F1 Drivers Champion, and separating each from that finding out that destiny was 58 laps the Yas Marina circuit. There were countless permutations and scenarios, but ultimately they knew their tasks. For Piastri and Versta...

After the double disqualification for McLaren in Las Vegas, the Drivers Championship has never been closer - Lando Norris holds a 24 point lead over both Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri. The penultimate round of the 2025 F1 season is already upon us, and and sprint weekend in Qatar is the only event left ahead of that season finale in Abu Dhabi. Could either Verstappen or Piastri stop Norris from...

This is it - the final triple header of the F1 season and the final 3 Grand Prix weekends to decide who will be the Formula 1 World Drivers Champion! Norris, Piastri, Verstappen - who will it be? Kicking off the last races, Formula 1 heads to sin city and the lights of Vegas as racing returns to the strip. Cold dusty conditions greet the drivers around this street circuit, and in 2025 we got a new...

As Formula takes 1 last weekend off before the Championship ending triple header, we take a look back at the the NASCAR Cup Series Championship deciding race hosted at Phoenix. The playoff format employed by the series guarantees that 4 drivers arrived in Phoenix with the chance to claim the Championship - Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Kyle Larson, and Chase Briscoe. But who would walk away with th...

The busy Sprint weekend schedule leaves no time to rest - following dramatic Sprint race, action resumed with the Brazilian Grand Prix itself. After Lando Norris took a narrow win from Kimi Andrea Antonelli in the Sprint, they would both line up alongside each other once again for the Grand Prix itself. But it was Leclerc starting 3rd, relegating Championship hopeful Piastri to 4th. And Verstappen...

4 Grand Prix, 3 Championship contenders, 2 Sprint races left, 1 point between the McLaren drivers - the numbers don't lie, the end of the 2025 Formula 1 season is going to be one for the record books! And if it wasn't exciting enough, Interlagos usually offers some of the best racing of the season and is the best suited to the current Sprint weekend format. Lando Norris continued where he...

Just 5 race weekends remain in the 2025 F1 Championship, and next up is the Mexican Grand Prix around the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Located in the heart of Mexico City, the circuit is situated over 2km above sea level, meaning air is at a premium. The cars will run with Monaco wing levels, but will only be able to generate Monza levels of downforce! And with the track not being used often duri...

The 2025 F1 Championship is ramping up nicely as the end of the season approaches, so what better time for a Sprint weekend than in Austin. The Circuit of the America's has served Max Verstappen very well over the years, so he will be looking to take maximum points and make another dent into the Drivers Championship lead of the McLaren pair. After winning the sprint race from pole position, Ma...

The 2025 F1 Championship is ramping up nicely as the end of the season approaches, so what better time for a Sprint weekend than in Austin. The Circuit of the America's has served Max Verstappen very well over the years, so he will be looking to take maximum points and make another dent into the Drivers Championship lead of the McLaren pair. 19 laps from lights out to the chequered flag and wi...

The single seater motorsport ladder has many options on the way to Formula 1 sitting as the pinnacle. Although there is no set route or defined ranking to the various series, one of the very top rungs often gets overlooked and does not have the popularity that it probably deserves... Super Formula is one of (if not the) Japan's top motorsport series alongside Super GT. It boasts to have the fa...

With the European races completed, F1 entered the final phase of the 2025 season. Starting with the home of the night race, the Singapore Grand Prix. Last year saw Lando Norris take a commanding victory ahead of Max Verstappen, which had fans asking whether he could really overturn the deficit and make it a Championship fight. This year roles are reversed, so could Verstappen take a win that prove...

This week I have a very special guest joining me on the Motorsport REView - host and broadcasting extraordinaire, Bryn Lucas! Bryn currently applies his skills hosting events with Formula 1 teams, as the lead presenter for British GT, and on Red Bull TV and their content pool. Bryn also previously hosted the Autosport F1 podcast, the Autosport International show, and the Silverstone Festival - a w...

Known for some chaotic races in the past, Formula 1 arrived in the city of wind for the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. But would McLaren return to their early season form and blow away the competition, or would Verstappen and Red Bull continue their good form from the previous race at Monza on another low downforce circuit? To discuss all the happenings (and perhaps more apt, the not happenings...) f...

Round 16 of the 2025 Formula 1 season brings us to Monza, the temple of speed! With the characteristics of the circuit being so extreme, it offers teams a chance to upset the form book and perhaps score more points. Could Lando Norris bounce back from the disappointment of Zandvoort, or would this offer McLaren's rivals one of the best chances to claim a win? Well if Max Verstappen thought that do...

F1 returns from the summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, home of the oranje army. For the first time in his career, Max Verstappen arrives at his home Grand Prix without being the favourite for the win. With the roar of his adoring fans behind him, was there anything Verstappen and Red Bull could do to stop the run of McLaren domination? Or would McLaren make it five 1-2 finishes i...

What started as a weekend where I thought I was going to watch and review Japan's Super GT series, instead became a deep dive into Touring Car series and GT Racing. What is the difference between them though, and why is there a sense that the line between them is getting more blurred? Andy Donnelly is my guest this week to discuss the various racing series around the world, including why DTM has l...

Formula 1 may be just past the halfway stage of the season, but we have already seen the completion of 1 World Championship in 2025 - Season 11 of the FIA Formula E Championship! Oliver Rowland took the title in dominant fashion for Nissan, becoming the 10th different Formula E drivers champion! This season also saw the introduction of Pit Boost. I am joined this week by long time Formula E fan An...

We are back! Having missed the last 2 race weekends away on holiday, I catch up on the big talking points from those races. And with Formula 1 entering the summer break, it's time to review how each of the teams has got on so far. We also take a look ahead at what lays in store for the second half of this exciting F1 season! Joining me this week is the fantastic Tom Cairns, fresh from wrapping...

Time for something completely different this week - safe to say that we have really pushed the boat out (I'm so sorry...). A completely different discipline as we venture onto the water and see what the E1 Series ahs to offer! But is it riding the crest of a wave, or is it doomed to sink before it can ever get going? I am joined this week by motorsport enthusiast Luci with a vast range of know...

Brit bias once again - this weeks episode of the Motorsport REView focuses on British GT as the series returns to Snetterton for two 1 hour sprint races. But what is British GT, and what did we think about the racing on show? I am once again alone for this episode, sorry! Normal service shall resume next week... I talk about my thoughts on watching the races at Snetterton, and I also finally give...

The 2025 Formula 1 Championship reached the halfway mark at the British Grand Prix, and what a race Silverstone and the British weather delivered to mark the occasion! Changeable conditions made it very tricky for drivers and strategists alike, but it was once again the McLaren duo battling it out for 1st and 2nd. But the story of the weekend undoubtedly belonged to Nico Hulkenberg and Sauber, who...
