A fond farewell to Frank and Claire, congrats to Pierre, and racing of the future

website@ukmotortalk.co.uk (First Take Media Ltd) — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Though we were perhaps not entirely surprised to hear that Sir Frank and Claire Williams are stepping back from Williams F1, it is still marking the end of an era... and, we hope, the beginning of a new one!

We also look at the Italian Grand Prix and (spoiler alert!) congratulate Pierre Gasly on an unusual win.

Also on the podcast today, F1 associated road cars, what is the future of motor sport (including Lewis Hamilton's new 'Extreme E' team, X44), and we look forward to hearing more about the Maserati MC20 which has just been revealed.

A serious, grown-up conversation about buying an SUV

website@ukmotortalk.co.uk (First Take Media Ltd) — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Choosing a new SUV when there are so many manufacturers and models to choose from, where to buy it, and how to pay for it... We answer none of these issues, but talk it through for a while!

MG, VW, Skoda, BMW, Volvo..? Do you want "a deal"? What size/kind of car do you actually need? Would an estate car be a better idea? What if you want to "Buy British"..??
