Once you've heard the facts, join Cheeka, Terry and Phill for their review of every grand prix - recorded (until recent events) in a pub. Formula 1 needs fixing - and For F1's Sake are the ones to fix it. Definitely.
Goodbye Yellow Ric Road
It's October! And that means a desperate scramble by Ollie, Phill and Terry to remember the past month of F1, including confirmation that Daniel Ricciardo will be fired out of a cannon to welcome Liam Lawson in for his probation period. Also Adrian Newey's confirmed at Aston Martin and impending ruin is confirmed at Red Bull. There's discussion about all that and a great deal of completely unrelated nonsense, as you've come to expect.

Papa's Got A Brand Newey Bag
It’s September, and before it’s even ended we’ve woken up and decided to look back over the past month of F1. Ollie, Phill and Terry ask: who the hell is Franco Colapinto, are McLaren blowing it and how the hell did Ferrari put a race-winning strategy together? Plus lots of other miscellany and many, many diversions. Enjoy

Live Forever
It's the summer break, but not for the hard-working minions at FF1S. We look back over the past month, talking mostly about Not Races. We critique Audi and Alpine with unrestrained savagery, wonder how the hell Sergio Perez still has a job, delight in the stroppy radio messages from the Hungarian Grand Prix and reflect on the times they've been fired from our jobs.

The show must go on
Like Lewis Hamilton himself, still we rise. Ollie, Phill and Terry are back with more F1 nonsense, except this time it’s more freeform, like hot jazz. Also it’s only once a month because there are too many races. Will the new format be a success? No idea. But let’s give it a go.

Monaco Preview with a gross game of 'would you rather'
Welcome to another preview episode of FF1S, this week taking a shallow dip into what's in store (or not) this weekend. Also, we field some of your questions - one of which, frankly, is disgusting.

Dead Man's Curve
The Imola Grand Prix weekend is upon us, bringing a silly name and memories of those we've lost along the way. Ollie, Phill and Terry skirt tactfully around the various elephants in the room and look forward to the race, but not before answering your questions in the wake of the Miami Grand Prix, with only minimal inappropritude.

Lando Hope And Glory
Who saw that coming? Not us! In this edition of FF1S Ollie, Phil and Terry delve into the race the race that Verstappen didn't win, the Miami Grand Prix. Ollie gets very angry at an orange man, Terry falls in love with an orange bollard and Phil chats sensible F1 things, but probably had an orange before the recording. All that and of course, Terry's state of F1. Enjoy.

In this preview episode of FF1S, Ollie, Phill and Terry prepare to welcome back the Chinese Grand Prix, a race we'd forgotten about and have no strong feelings about one or the other. Phill wholeheartedly embraces cliché as he takes a deep dive into the Shanghai International Circuit and the wonders that await us, but only after the team answers your questions.

This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back an an underwhelming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and ruminate on the season, before remembering that there’s an end of season episode coming up and they should probably wait for that. So most of this is just filler. Anyway, enjoy!

The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was simultaneously an absolute shitshow even by F1’s cackhanded standards, and yet also one of the best races of the year. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to discuss manhole destruction, what the point of the backmarker teams is, and all sorts of stuff that actually isn’t anything to do with F1 but just sort of cropped up. As usual.

Mexico arrived in a sea of stereotypes, including sombreros, mariachi music, Max Verstappen winning and Sergio Perez making a disgrace of himself. Phill, Terry and Ollie talk about all that, as well as the unexpected bonus of Daniel Ricciardo driving well, how setting up a car works and whether McLaren and Aston Martin are actually connected telepathically or something.

How Can You Mend A Broken Trophy?
The Hungarian Grand Prix promised much, with an exciting qualifying and the suggestion that MAYBE Max Verstappen wouldn't romp to an easy victory. But then he did, within literally one corner.
Still, it proved a mildly engaging race that will be fervently dissected and analysed by Phill and Terry, together with guest host Drew Stearne. They'll talk about Daniel Ricciardo returning, Lando Norris smashing shit up, and Alfa Romeo being notable for once. Listen. Laugh. Love.

Introducing... The Overview
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 for all women’s sports. England’s Lionesses are riding a wave of enthusiasm that fans hope will see them through to a Euro 2022 victory, while champions of the sport hope this could be a watershed moment in redefining perceptions of the game. Why has it taken so long for women’s football to be embraced? What barriers persist? And could this tournament change everything? This is The Overview. Presented by Julia O’Driscoll, with guests Professor Jean Williams, a sports historian and author, Jen O’Neill, editor of She Kicks magazine, and Jenny Mitton, director at M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment. Thanks to The Week’s Kari Wilkin. Produced by Rich Jarman.

Bye Bye Bernie (Reprise)
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.

FF1S.20.18 Voyage to the Bottom of the Season
And so we reach the end of 2020, the year that was shit but gave us some amazing races. Or did it? We can’t remember most of them, so we invited friend-with-benefits of the podcast Jack Nicholls on to remind us of stuff. There follows two hours of loose waffle that occasionally touches on the season that nearly wasn’t, and involves quite a bit of drinking.

FF1S.20.17 Sex Education - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix finished off the season with a tedious whimper, and nobody even cared that Max Verstappen finally won on merit. Cheeka, Phill and Terry start discussing the boredom at Yas Marina, but then degenerate into writing erotic fan fiction about the drivers. Because that's all the race, and indeed 2020 as a whole, deserves.

George Russell came, he saw, he conquered but then he got a puncture and saw his puny dreams smashed. Meanwhile, Sergio Perez won his first race in 190 attempts and now everything thinks he’s great. Cheeka, Phill and Terry forensically analyse the Sakhir Grand Prix and wonder what the point of Valtteri Bottas is. Also there’s a special guest pundit. Wooo.

Formula 1 is finished, except there are three more races left in the desert, but no one cares because Turkey was the best race of the season and Lewis Hamilton is the champ-champ-champ-champ-champ-champ-champ. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about his immense achievement and why he's actually like Mr Bean, discuss the rise and fall of Lance Stroll and decide that the best racetrack is a newly relaid racetrack.

F1 headed to Portugal for the first time in ages, and everything went crazy for a few laps until Hamilton won, Bottas was second and Verstappen was third, as per usual.
As he crushed Bottas by a country mile, Lewis ascended from this earth to become a living legend, and we've all forgotten who Michael Schumacher is now. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about all the fun at Portimao, someone wins some merch and there are various usual features too.

Plus Honda are sodding off, Hulkenberg came back and some other stuff happened in and around the Nurburgring. Cheeka, Phill and Terry try to make sense of it all, and also talk tattoos.

BONUS: Everything you need to know about Jochen Rindt (featuring David Tremayne)
This year's Italian Grand Prix marks 50 years since the death of Jochen Rindt. It happened at Monza, during practice for the 1970 race and the German driver would go on to become the only posthumous Formula 1 world champion. For many, that's about as much as they know about him - but renowned motorsport author and journalist David Tremayne thinks we need to know more about this dashing, exciting and blindingly fast driver, and has written a book about him, called Jochen Rindt: Uncrowned King of Formula 1. So Phill and Terry sat down to chat with David about Rindt and racing in the 1970s, and we recorded it for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Cheeka, Phill and Terry discuss the 70th Anniversary GP, Racing Point being filthy cheats and then meander off on all sorts of tangents, much like Kevin Magnussen’s racing lines.

With Cheeka sidelined due to a positive holiday test, last-minute reserve presenter Ollie Peart joins Phill and Terry to talk about tyres, coronavirus, racism and all sort of other bollocks, at least some of which is to do with F1.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry convene in their virtual, make-believe pub to discuss the Austrian Grand Prix and talk racing, racism and rays of hope that maybe, just maybe, F1 will save us all.

Well, actually it was earlier this week but before everything went to shit and the race was cancelled. Still, Cheeka, Terry and Phill went to the pub to talk about testing and see where we were ahead of the season that now probably won’t start until Baku. Maybe Williams will be front runners by then?

Cheeka, Phill and Terry forensically dissect the goings on at the Circuit of the Americas and ask a variety of silly questions, while drinking beer. Some things never change.

BONUS: Terry on Turbos (or: Terry teaches technicalities on turbos to technicians)
It’s the difficult solo project! While there’s no racing going on, Terry strikes out on his own and speaks in front of a bunch of science people about Formula 1. After failing to understand basic maths or what FIA stands for, he presents a detailed if not entirely accurate breakdown of modern F1 power units and how FF1S has undoubtedly moved the technology forwards. We'll be back with more podcasts very soon as the countdown to the new season begins - so make sure you're subscribed to get them fresh. Thanks to Dr Steve Cross & Dr Martin Austwick (both genuine doctors, unlike Terry) and all at Science Showoff.
