For F1's Sake

Exit Music (For A Film)

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 11:33:00 -0000

Guess who's back? Back again? Terry, Phill and Ollie are back; tell your friends. The gang gets back together for a special one-off review of F1 Registered Trademark The Movie and all the absolute bollocks contained within. Expected high-level nit-pickery, misremembered details and a general suggestion that yes, we could have done better. Lovely to be back, don't get used to it.

It’s The End Of The Season As We Know It (And I Feel Tired)

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 01:30:00 -0000

LIVE and recorded before any of the big news from the last week dropped, it’s the End Of Year Spectacular! Terry flew in especially and we all went to the pub and tried to remember what happened over the course of 2024, with extremely limited success. Listen, enjoy, and Max Verstappen bless us, every one.

Max Swells Silver, Ham Meh

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 16:20:00 -0000

Congratulations to Max Verstappen, who hasn't actually won the 2024 Formula 1 season yet, but he has really after Lando Norris fluffed it all up. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at another month of F1 in their customary inexpert style, replete with all sorts of very interesting conversations and debates that have very little to do with the subject at hand. As usual.

Goodbye Yellow Ric Road

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 09:30:00 -0000

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.

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

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 13:30:00 -0000

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.

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.

Look, we expected little. Aside from the first-lap hilarity, we got sweet naff all and possibly one of the dullest races in F1 history. Still, well done Charlie Clark, eh? Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at the boredom, consider the Senna hysteria and then get muddled up with something else or other. Roll on Canada.

(Norris Longs To Be) Close to You

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 21 May 2024 14:15:00 -0000

Amid memories of a tragic day, Imola returned to the F1 calendar and after touching all our hearts turned out to be a shit day of dull racing. But it did at least give us hope that McLaren continue to catch Red Bull and that maybe the title battle will last a little longer than last year. Ollie, Phill and Terry consider all of this, get distracted by Terry's neighbour and generally get inappropriate about anything and everything, because that's just what they do.

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.

After five years away, the Chinese Grand Prix returned with a flurry of rain, flaming grass and an all-too-predictable result. Ollie, Phill and Terry dissect the race and sprint race at the Shanghai International Circuit and, be warned, Terry does some impressions. Also, we find out which F1 drivers Ollie nearly killed and saw in their pants.

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.

Come Back To What You Know

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 18:53:03 -0000

After the merest hint in Australia that maybe Max Verstappen and Red Bull wouldn't dominate the season, our hopes were dashed in Japan as we went back to the usual format. Perez is still doing an impression of being good, Sainz is still doing an impression of being better than Leclerc, and Logan Sargeant's impression of a million pieces of carbon fibre is apparently contagious. Ollie, Phill and Terry talk about all that, and there's an insight into Terry's film career, too. He was in Skyfall, you know.

"Shove Your Tradition Up Your Spoon" - Japanese GP Preview

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 07:14:29 -0000

It's RACE WEEK, as it is just about every week. This time Formula 1 goes to JAPAN, which is normally at the end of the season but now isn't because tradition is a nasty word that we don't need in F1 anymore. Ollie, Phill and Terry reflect on your questions in the wake of the Australian Grand Prix – Sainz, Russell, Alonso etc – and then look ahead to the Suzuka showdown in the GREAT FF1S BIG PREVIEW, as we're not calling it. It has FACTS GALORE, some of which might even be true.

After waking up at horrible o'clock for the Australian Grand Prix, it was a pleasant surprise to have an interesting race for once. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at Carly Simon's dominant win in Melbourne and ask the important questions: does anyone remember Ollie Bearman? Is this the start of Red Bull's decline, and is it because of what happens when you play with yourself in the bath? Plus why Fernando Alonso steals burgers, probably.

The Bear Necessities

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 14:28:00 -0000

The Saudi Arabian GP came and went and Max Verstappen won again. But the real story was Ollie Bearman, who is surely the greatest Formula 1 driver in history now. Phill and Terry are joined by their own super sub, Drew Stearne, to look back at the Bearnaissance and ask - what does this mean for his career, for F1 and indeed for humanity? Also Red Bull’s implosion continues everywhere except the track, so that’s fun.

After months of waiting, the Bahrain Grand Prix delivered a fizzle and a result that we’ll probably be seeing a lot of. Again. But F1 is at least still delivering the drama - it’s just happening on WhatsApp. Allegedly. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at the race in Bahrain and tiptoe delicately across a legal tightrope to explore the Hornygate saga with all the sensitivity you’ve come to expect.

As well as our usual cutting-edge insight and analysis there's also an update from Terry on whether or not he's done any new t-shirt designs like he promised, and also we're opening a pub. WHAAA?

The FF1S Review Of The Season Of Driving 2023

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:02:14 -0000

Never mind the final race of the season, never mind the annual FIA prize-giving – this is what it all comes down to. The FF1S gang gather IN PERSON, at an ACTUAL PUB to debate the 2023 Formula 1 season and all who sailed in her. We'll reflect on the good, the bad, the hilariously inept and the grudgingly rather impressive, before pronouncing an actual winner that isn't Max Verstappen. It's the only record he doesn't have. Listen, be merry, buy us a drink (pintpintpint) and we'll see you in 2024.

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.

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.

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.

Would Japan be Red Bull’s downfall after the shocker of Singapore? No. Utter dominance returned and Red Bull are six-time champions. But also McLaren are good, Perez is shit and who will get the boot next season? All this and much more unrelated nonsense is discussed by Phill and Terry, with Ollie Peart trying to keep everything in check. And largely failing.

Singapore was a bit of a classic and didn't even need rain to spice it up.

Monza. The home of Ferrari, the home of the tifosi. The home of a surprisingly good performance from the Maranello team. Not good enough to win, obviously, but still.

Phill and Terry are taken aback at Ferrari's not-shit performance, and with guest host Drew Stearne reflect on the Italian Grand Prix with an unusual amount of insight. Amid copious swearing and drinking.

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.

Together, they discuss terrible anthems, excellent orange (and chrome) cars and all the other Silverstone gossip. They speculate wildly about the new F1 film with Brad Pitt and some other guy, and there's an excellent Martin Brundle fact that you're welcome to use.

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, even if only with one driver. Oh, and we talk about Drive to Survive and whether or not you should watch it. ENJOY!

The Whines They Are A-Changin’

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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.

Abu Baby Come Back

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 12:36:44 -0000

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.

Paulo Can You Go?

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 09:48:00 -0000

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 hour doing exactly that, and then Terry gives all the teams human names. ENJOY!

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.

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.

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

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 behaviour.

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.

NOOOOOOOO Diggity

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 entertained. All that, and another advert for Manscaped. YAY!

Introducing... The Overview

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 07:57:39 -0000

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.

Ferrari Still Friends?

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 13:16:37 -0000

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.

Zhou Me How To Live

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 16:06:35 -0000

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!

Canada You Feel The Love Tonight

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 09:19:28 -0000

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 brings a really rather excellent Teams song.

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.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 13:59:54 -0000

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.

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!

Bye Bye Bernie (Reprise)

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 08:22:52 -0000

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.

Charles in Charge

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Sat, 16 Apr 2022 12:00:13 -0000

If there isn’t a missile attack, was there even a Grand Prix? Yes, according to Australia, which radically changed its track and nobody really noticed. Then Charles Leclerc won the championship already, Max Verstappen retired (again) and Mercedes somehow spawned a podium (again).

Cheeka, Phill and Terry try to make sense of it all, then give up and drink and make filthy jokes. Again.

Coming at you like a missile from the sky or Nicholas Latifi into a barrier, it's the Saudi Arabian GP podcast!

The 2022 F1 season is go go go! And it was quite boring for a lot of the time, but then the Bahrain Grand Prix sprang into life just as the Red Bull engines died. Cheeka, Phill and Terry are TOGETHER, in person for one night only to discuss the new rules, the new even-whinier Max Verstappen and the apparently now-dominant Ferraris. Enjoy!

F1 is back! And it’s as disfunctional and silly as always, despite the fact that we haven’t had any racing yet. Cheeka, Phill and Terry gather round some microphones to discuss everything that’s happened since the Horror at Abu Dhabi, including WAR, Magnussen’s return, new rules and porpoising. And Netflix.

The FF1S 2021 Review Of The Season Of Driving (Part 2)

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 11:52:05 -0000

The season is hotting up and so is Terry’s love life. Part 2 of our 2021 season review sees Cheeka, Phill, Terry and Jack look back on a litany of management failures, edge-of-the-seat action and high drama. And that’s just Terry’s diary. They also look at the year’s F1 races, while consuming alcohol in large amounts.

The FF1S 2021 Review Of The Season Of Driving (Part 1)

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 31 Dec 2021 01:00:00 -0000

After perhaps the most controversial F1 season of all time, who better than three slightly drunk idiots and a respected commentator to pore over all the races of 2021?

Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the Formula 1 season with the help of 5 Live’s Jack Nicholls and Terry’s diary, which contains no references to F1 whatsoever.

Recorded just before Christmas, this episode covers the first half of the season, after which we needed a break. And another drink. WE GO AGAIN TOMORROW.

The finale of the 2021 Formula 1 season was, as predicted by many, a shitshow at the fuck factory, but at least it wasn’t boring. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the very silly Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, decide who should resign, and ultimately congratulate Max Verstappen on his first title.

Also: there's a panto. Now let’s never speak of it again.

Ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix everyone was worried about human rights, but we all soon forgot about that as F1 launched its biggest shit show in ages. Still, it was entertaining, and means the championship goes down to winner-takes-all in Abu Dhabi. Cheeka, Phill and Terry chew over the ludicrous goings on from Jeddah and also remember the late, great Sir Frank Williams.

Qatar brought an interesting track that looked great to drive on but didn't make for a particularly enthralling race. Still, Hamilton's win keeps the title race interesting, and Fernando Alonso reminded us all of how good he could have been if he hadn't annoyed everyone early in his career.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the inaugural grand prix at the Losail International Circuit and waffle on about all things F1 without any particular insight or expertise, as per usual.

Cheeka's back! And she's brought a terrible quality microphone with her, so sorry about that. But with the gang back together, we talk about the Not Brazilian Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton put in one hell of a performance to overcome All The Things and close the gap to Max Verstappen in the championship. Some other drivers were also there, but honestly, we didn't really notice.

Apart from qualifying and the first 100 metres, the Mexican Grand Prix was as dull as mezcal with no worm. So to liven things up, Phill and Terry are joined by SPECIAL GUEST CHEEKA, Richard "Spanners" Ready from off of the Missed Apex podcast. He gets to swear, we get a presenter while Cheeka's away, everybody's happy. Except our bodyguards, who have to stay at home now.

Porn and the USA

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 12:34:19 -0000

The American Grand Prix had plenty of action and intrigue, with a big dollop of cheese drizzled around it, courtesy of random celebrities that apparently didn't want to be there. They probably didn't care that Max Verstappen struck what could be a decisive blow against Lewis Hamilton in the title battle. But Cheeka, Phill and Terry care. Sort of. Well, listen to them delve into the Texas fun and see what you think.

The Turkish Grand Prix was a bit of a let down, and we'll be honest, this episode might be too, because Cheeka's ill. However, she's replaced by professional replacement Cheeka, Alex Goy, who joins Phill and Terry to chew through the lumps of the race in Istanbul. Valtteri Bottas put in his annual good performance, but all eyes were on Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who failed to deliver much excitement. Still, it keeps the championship fight slightly interesting, so that's something.

The rain came to Russia right at the end and made an already interesting race much more fun. Lando Norris lost and Lewis Hamilton won, but then so did Max Verstappen. In a way. Cheeka, Terry and Phill look back on an incident-packed Russian Grand Prix, and also review the new Schumacher film in their usual insightful and considered manner.

The Italian Grand Prix provided a deathly dull sprint race and then a much more exciting main event. Cheeka, Phill and Terry discuss this unexpected winners, completely expected crashes and whether they deserved penalties, and then talk about sex toys and which driver you’d want to sleep with.

Zandvoort promised much, and delivered pretty pictures, orange fog and racing boredom. But Verstappen won, so yay the Dutch GP? Cheeka, Phill and Terry ask where it all went wrong, reminisce about Cheeka’s wedding, and talk about the new driver deals, including a great speculation about Alex Albon going to Williams that we then cut because it’s out of date now.

The Belgian Grand Prix… wasn’t. Phill and Terry get together to lambast the F1 idiocy that left thousands of people getting wet on a Belgian hill with no chance of a refund. They also wait for Cheeka to turn up and try and avoid a repeat of what reviews called “the worst episode ever”. Did they succeed? You decide. Please.

Silverstone saw two races for the British Grand Prix, except one wasn’t a race, except it was. Then Hamilton and Verstappen crashed and it was definitely someone’s fault, except it wasn’t. And everyone got Covid, probably.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry are joined by a LIVE Listeners Corner phonein thing to talk about all the naughtiness in Northamptonshire, and there’s some terrible singing. Sorry.

It's the second Austrian Grand Prix - and the fourth in a year - and it was nowhere near as bad as last week’s, even if Max Verstappen waltzed off to victory with no challengers.

It was all action behind though; Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about harsh penalties, shouty radio messages and new contracts, among other unrelated nonsense.

The Styrian Grand Prix promised much and delivered mostly boredom and a silly name. However, it was punctuated by Bottas spinning in the pitlane, so that was fun. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about Max Verstappen’s Hamilton-like win, worry that next week will be the same again, and also reveal Terry’s new tattoo, which may or may not be Philip Morris related.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 19:18:49 -0000

Everyone expected the French GP to be boring, and for all Terry knows, it was, because he didn’t watch it. But Cheeka and Phill did, and so they all conspire to blather on about how strategy trumps pace, how stripes give us headaches and how no one every f*cking listens to us. And perhaps justifiably so.

Every Silly Thing He Does Is Magic

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 20:21:41 -0000

Azerbaijan was a slow burner. After marshals ran out of red flags in qualifying, the race saw Charles Leclerc go backwards but then not much happened. Luckily, Pirelli intervened, and then all hell broke loose. And in the end, nothing changed in the championship. Cheeka, Phill and Terry drink a bit and talk about Verstappen and Stroll’s smashes, Hamilton’s magic dance and then get distracted by anything and everything.

Wake Me Up, After Monaco-co

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Wed, 26 May 2021 15:36:47 -0000

Monaco! Big pile of shite, but at least the cars look nice, especially the McLarens. Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the usual Monte Carlo snoozefest but concede that the results were interesting. They also talk about Leclerc crashing deliberately, Bottas’s stripped nut and all the regular tangents.

Reprofiled Corners Of My Mind

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Wed, 12 May 2021 18:46:37 -0000

The Spanish Grand Prix was deathly dull but also quite interesting, in classic Formula 1 style.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the Catalunya catatonia and get regularly distracted by vaccines, weddings and all sorts of other nonsense, before eventually getting back to whether or not it was a good race, whether Verstappen has already capitulated and whether Marzipan will get sacked by his dad.

Qualifying Race, Now I’m A Believer

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Wed, 05 May 2021 19:57:05 -0000

F1 returned to Portugal, scene of a cracking race last year. This year’s wasn’t as good. Still, Hamilton and Verstappen had a bit of a tussle at Bottas’s expense, so that was something. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about all that, sprint races and how much we’re looking forward to the Canadian Grand Prix.

George Of The Bungle?

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 19:26:53 -0000

It's the Definitely Not The San Marino Grand Prix roundup, where Cheeka, Phill and Terry wonder why everyone had forgotten how to drive properly.

Still, Max Verstappen messed up the least to win and all the Mercedeses piled into a wall, or each other, and Uncle Toto is angry.

Also, Terry is sad, so send him (and the rest of us) a beer.

Max and the Ham are having close battles, Mazepin looks like he's rubbish, and all is right with the world. Other than human rights, obviously.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back on the opening race of the 2021 season at the Bahrain International Circuit, and ponder whether Sebastian Vettel was ever any good at all.

FF1S.20.18 Voyage to the Bottom of the Season

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 10:10:59 -0000

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.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 10:02:47 -0000

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.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 20:24:14 -0000

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.

Romain Grosjean exploded and gave Hamilton coronavirus, which means that all the drivers stand up and dance and whoever sits down first gets a Mercedes drive. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about the Bahrain Grand Prix, or rather all the stuff that happened around it, and wonder how all the various new drivers will get on. Plus there’s some swearing and stuff.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 17:07:36 -0000

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.

It’s the Not San Marino Grand Prix and don’t mention that time when that thing happened. Instead, Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about Mercedes winning everything, Bottas having not luck and George Russell spannering it into the wall under the safety car. Ah, Imola never fails to entertain.

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.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 10:30:07 -0000

It was a race afflicted by fog, unreliability and Lance Stroll's case of the squits, but Lewis Hamilton crushed the memory of Michael Schumacher by waiting until Valtteri Bottas inevitably threw his pole position away, and is now the Greatest Man of All Time. 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.

Lewis Hamilton found himself Russian to see the stewards after dropping a massive clanger in the wrong place. And that meant Valtteri Bottas and a massive bee found glory in Sochi and Carlos Sainz crashed like an idiot. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk through a boring race made a bit more exciting by incompetence, because that’s what F1 is all about.

The Tuscan Grand Prix was expected to be a dull, overtaking-free procession, but we didn’t factor in the fact that everyone wanted to crash repeatedly, which made it much more interesting. Cheeka, Phill and Terry discuss the magic at Mugello, as well as Vettel’s confirmed move to Aston Martin and what the hell Perez will do now. Not that we’re that bothered.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on a crazy race at Monza, talk about the highly unusual podium and who deserved to be there, and wonder just how much lower Ferrari can go.

BONUS: Everything you need to know about Jochen Rindt (featuring David Tremayne)

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Sat, 05 Sep 2020 00:00:10 -0000

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 Francorchamps contretemps, and also discuss the now-complete 2020 season, new races and how Williams are both saved and finished.

It’s the British Grand Prix 2, a sequel actually better than the original as Mercedes had some unfortunate blistering, Max romped to victory and Hulkenberg obviously didn’t get a podium. 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.

The British Grand Prix was devoid of fans and devoid of much action at all, until all hell broke loose on the final few laps, thanks to Pirelli. 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.

matt.hill@rethinkaudio.com — Fri, 24 Jul 2020 21:27:07 -0000

The Hungarian Grand Prix proved decisively that only races at Austria are good now, as Lewis Hamilton romped to victory and we all saw the inevitable Bottas 3.0 failure that we knew was coming. Cheeka, Phill and Terry ponder Budapest, new races, racism (again) and wonder if Kimi could actually be out of a drive next season? Surely not.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the second weekend at Spielberg and lament Ferrari's comedic failings. Plus we learn how much Terry has to pay to look as good as he does.

F1 is back! And in a move nobody expected, it was actually rather good despite the world slowly falling apart. There was intrigue. There was drama. There was pretty terrible reliability. And a Mercedes won. 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.

There's also plenty of chat about the premature silly season, which will probably see Vettel retire, Sainz cement his place as a number two driver and Ricciardo stick two fingers up to Renault.

Way, way back, before the dawn of time, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place and coronavirus was just a glint in a Wuhan bat’s eye. 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?

Still, it eases us into the off season, eh?

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.

Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on Sochi and catch up on the rest of the F1 news, including McLaren going back to Honda. Sorry, Renault. Sorry, Mercedes.

The Australian Grand Prix was a race that will stick long in the memory, or possibly will be forgotten by China. The ins and outs of Albert Park's snoozefest are expertly dissected and mocked by Phill, Terry and Not Cheeka - she's on holiday, so Ollie Peart steps ably into her tiny shoes.

The podcast Formula One deserves, with Cheeka, Terry & Phill. Rain, endless safety cars, silly radio rules. Also, booing.

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.
