In this episode we do a news roundup and catch up after the great Canadian GP weekend we had in Montréal.

It's back to the old studio for us and back to the same old ways for Ferrari. We talk about what ended up being an Amazing Spanish Grand Prix dominated by the brilliant fight throughout the race of two true great drivers. We talk about the new era of PR in F1 brought about by Liberty Media's new fan-centered focus and some of the other stories surrounding the race in Barcelona.

Today we get together to talk about the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix and all the presumed upgrades that the teams will be bringing to Barcelona and why that is. Danny talks about the benefits of bringing back the old last corner at Barcelona while we speculate on how different the track might be this year with the new and faster cars. We also talk for a while about the Alonso indy test and your usual dose of random stories and speculation. Cheers.

Our immediate reaction to the 2017 Russian GP, recorded right after we watched the race together. We talk about Bottas' great and long-anticipated victory, we go on a rant about Palmer, we get really excited talking about Chase Carey and Sean Bratches, the Sauber deal, and the usual dose of speculation and ramblings.

Russian GP preview featuring the return of our long lost friend and co-host, Danny. We talk about some of the news surrounding the upcoming GP in Sochi, Javier gets way too excited about Ferrari's recent performance (as usual), we talk about engine bits, we discuss tyres and also a proposal to change the format of the race weekends that could actually work and the return the New York/Jersey GP as a night race.

We go over the action and excitement from Melbourne over some drinks. Hope you guys like these, cheers

Short show today folks, we just wanted to touch base with everyone ahead of the first GP of the season, talk about our thoughts and introduce our latest development! WE HAVE A NEW STUDIOOOOOO F1 banter and the usual dose of speculation to follow.

A recap of the second week of testing plus some news about an F1 Hollywood movie about Enzo Ferrari starring Hugh Jackman, Zandvoort working on a plan to host a GP, and new hirings at the top levels of FOM in Murray Barnett and Matthew Roberts in commercial and and commercial research roles! But how long until Austraila???

The new cars are here and so are we! We will review the 2017 cars on their looks and features and then shift to their on-track performance from Day 1 of testing at Catalunya.

Disciplines: Technology/MediaArts/Sports Course Code: FO17-101 Pre-requisites: None Instructor: Us This course enables students to explore and have a preview of the differences of the 2017 Formula as opposed to the 2016 version, as well as explore some of the predicted benefits and consequences of going in this direction. We will look at dimensions, the overall design philosophy, and the engine regulations opening up. The media arts segment of this course emphasizes the stated goals of our new overlords, Liberty Media, and how they plan to get us there through Americanized showmanship and business practices in some areas, as well as democratizing the sport in others. Finally, the sports aspect of this course will allow students to understand some of the new on-track rules being introduced this year, especially as they concern safety cars, safety car deployment, standing vs rolling starts after safety cars, as well as the rules about driving backwards on the track. As well, we discuss the possible motivations behind Ferrari filing complaints against pre-loaded clutch technology and hydraulically actuated front suspensions. If you're a superfan and you know all of this stuff, you can skip the first hour or so and we get into the regular weekly news and views and odd business from the paddock.

Episode 100 is here. Lots of good times and a whole lot more to come. We begin the show with a couple of announcements, and a quick breakdown of the idea behind our upcoming "F1 HYPE-O-METER". We then dive right in to the backstory of Sean Bratches, a man on a new adventure, recently appointed at Formula 1 in the newly created position: Managing Director for Commercial Operations. Get excited about this man!  And finally some odd news and the usual banter.  Come celebrate with us, grab a beer or a Downforce and tune in!

Sylt twists the news and tries to get in your head about that 1% FIA commercial rights business.   Braking forces are getting up to 25% stronger in 2017 and brake discs are getting up to 4mm thicker to cope with that extra force. Silverstone has handed in their notice, but Liberty says they are prepared to help save the race.

Liberty Media has taken over as of Monday and Bernie has been 'deposed'! Liberty Media, Liberty Global, McLaren, Formula 1 and Formula e have formed a super aliiance! Manor is bust and all of their employees have been laid off! Silverstone has handed in 2yrs notice to cancel the GPofGB! Christian Horner had a son! Don't talk about Sebastian Vettel's dog! A street in Nice has been named after Jules Bianchi!

We begin the show with the fresh off-the-press yet least unexpected announcement of the year: The confirmation of the Bottas move to Mercedes, Massa's unretirement, and WEH going to Sauber. Also a roundup of the F1-related news of the week, including RedBull/Mercedes being allowed to use their contested "Heave Element Suspension", another look at Liberty and their FIA ties and the conflict that lies there, Martin Brundle's heart attack, and a buuunch of other small stuff.  The F1 Monopoly game piece, the death of nationalism within the sport, teams as long-term share holders, F.I.McL lofty goals etc, etc, etc... enjoy!

We will be interviewing F1 Statsman Extraordinaire, friend of the podcast and F1 reddit mod Dr. Andrew Phillips (AKA /u/whatthefat) Should be a good one, don't miss it. We've also got updates on a handful of the circuits for this year. Financial troubles for racetracks have been all over the F1 news recently. Stay tuned for the details- F1Metrics.blogspot.com

Not letting you hang over the holidays.  Ferrari throws a wrench in the active front suspension systems of Mercedes and Red Bull, causing a scramble at those teams leading up to pre-season testing.  Also we talk about motorsports media a little bit from various angles.  Finally a bit about the changes proposed by Liberty regarding Formula 1 cost-caps and changing the current race-weekend format into a week-long event at the Grands Prix.  Big things ahead!

In today's show we'll go through the (little if any) latest news in the F1 world as we look forward to the next year while we look back at the roller coaster that was 2016. Tune in.

Christmas UnSpecial: We were planning to have a nice and quiet episode reminiscing and whatnot as it is tradition this time of year but then out of nowhere comes the worst comeback in F1 history.  Usual roundup of news and other stuff.

Will Bottas end up at Mercedes / Will Maldonado return to Williams?(Yes)  This and more in tonight's show, including:  Malaysia building a new F1 track.  Vijay Mallya getting hacked by Anonymous.  And the awesome 8-bit F1 season summary.

Tune in to our review of the Abu Dhabi GP and all the action surrounding it.   Don't even know what to say

So this is it. The end of the current year and the current season of F1 and we honestly could not have asked for a better end to what was a season for the history books. Records were broken, rules were redefined, and the old conventions were thrown out the window.  Let's get ready for the #DuelInTheDesert

We attempt (poorly) to do arundown of the Gran Premio do Brasil.  What a race!  As well as news about the fate of the race itself in years to come, Ron Dennis` ousting from McLaren, aaand a fan question. And some other stuff.

In this week's episode of Flat Out Fever we talk about Lance Stroll and how worthy he is of his F1 seat, some wisdom from Williams Chief Technical Director Pat Symmonds, Ross Brawn, Sauber, the Brazilian GP and more.

Mexico GP review, all the shenanigans surrounding it.  What a ridiculous weekend.  Javier put together a feature about Ross Brawn, Jenson Button is upset that WADA hasn't been collecting his pee, Tilke has allegedly designed an F1 racetrack for St. Petersburg in Russia, and we ended with an interesting feature you won't want to miss about something everyone has been wondering for years.  Where does Sauber's MONEY come from??? Sorry, we had some technical issuses with the modem this week.  The youtube controller reset, so the background is from last week :P  Other than that there shouldn't be any issues with the video or MP3.

In the first part of today's episode we started by featuring our guest, Nicholas Latifi, Renault Sport F1's Test Driver and DAMS GP2 driver. We also discussed the recent USGP and the upcoming Mexican GP In the second half today, we got deep into the USGP results and how they will roll into the rest of the season and some of the decisions which are coming for the 2017 grid.  Aaaaand a bunch of other stuff-

EPISODE 83 here we go! Queue in the references to Cowboys, selfies with stetsons and cowboy boots, overuse of the expression "Y'all", and all things America because it is time for the United States Grand Prix. We will of course be talking about the Circuit of the Americas and the on-track action that we can expect this weekend alongside discussing some of the recent news and happenings around the world of F1. Apparently Lewis is gonna be shooting stuff in space or something.

Suzuka never disappoints and this year was no exception. The Japanese GP might very well be seen as Nico Rosberg's defining moment in his quest for the 2016 championship. We will be talking about all the action on and off the track as well as other news from the F1 circus.

This morning we have a special guest who is the founder and head of Dromo Circuit Design out of Italy, Jarno Zaffelli. They recently completed the redesign of the Sepang International Circuit, Home of the Malaysia Grand Prix using their revolutionary and proprietary circuit safety software system DroCAS.   You can find him on Twitter: @JarnoZaffelli And be sure to check out the Dromo Circuit Design website at: www.studiodromo.it

In today's episode we will go over the action and outcome of the #MalaysiaGP - It's not MalaysiaN!. Also, it's not IF but WHEN you drink, don't drive. And if you still have your pants on, you won't go to Malaysian jail. We will also be previewing the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix.

He is the current leader of the FIA European Formula 3 Series driving for Prema Powerteam as well as being the development driver for F1's William Racing.

We go over what the big players are like and we talk about some of the repercussions of the deal. We continue this show talking about the happenings at Monza last week and also all the other news surrounding drivers retiring and those who will replace them.... And more.

As well we will talk on some driver seat rumors for 2017, some upcoming race rumors, and a new rumor floating around about the sale of Formula 1.   Oh yeah, and Bernie got its mother-in-law back And a little about tyre testing.....

This week we start the show by welcoming special guest Kurtis Robinson, a sports journalism graduate from Brighton University in the UK who wrote the popular "Battle for F1's Billions" article, who will share some of his views with us at the half-way point of the 2016 season. Into the meat and potatoes.  A review of the FORMULA 1 MAGYAR NAGYDÍJ 2016 at Hungaroring and all of the drama that happened off-track... cause not much happened on track....

TODAY'S EPISODE POWERED BY DOWNFORCE 2 parts Heineken 1 part   Redbull pour quickly into a Solo cup Official cocktail of FlatOutFever and Grands Prix

This week we have a breakdown of the Grand Prix of Great Lewis at Silverstone, a proper update on Pirelli's 2017 tyre testing schedule, Robertson screw efficiency???, a proposal for a Mediterranean Grand Prix in Bari, and an idea for a rotation of some of the current and recent races on the calendar.

We came up with a cocktail that gives you delusions of grandeur and we proceeded to talk incessantly about the great race we had in the Styrian mountains. We cap the episode off talking a bit about the upcoming British Grand Prix and Track Limits Drones.  

In today’s episode we look forward to the action coming up this weekend at the Austrian GP, as well as some exciting construction at the Red Bull Ring as well as at Monza.  Flavio Briatore is back talking all kinds of madness, about Ferrari and we had a little discussion about whether or not you can really trust a man with blue lenses.  Also we talk about the recent crazy news coming from Britain and what it could mean for the sport of Formula 1.

We're gonna talk about the recent (lack of) events in Azerbaijan and other F1 news and thoughts. Hope you enjoy.

We start today’s show with a quick review of the action last week in Montreal and how things could change again this weekend in the land of fire.

We look forward to an action packed week ahead as we will be travelling to Montreal for our Home GP. We talk about the track, maple syrup and poutine wars.  No we dont.  But we do talk about some of the other recent news in the driver market, some of the engine and aero improvements rumored to be making their way to Canada, some F1 driver's parents, and the unofficial start of the 2016 silly season.

This is the tragic story of the win that never was for DANNYRIC and how #BLESSED Lewis used his smooth driving to #RISE to the top of the podium on one of the most exciting Monaco GPs we’ve seen in a long time! Loving F1 in 2016.  As well we talk about the relaxation of the visor tear-off rules, the relaxation of the helmet graphics rules, the tightening of the halo rules. We go over some more details about a possible development down the Monaco Harbour and other random bits and stories from last weekend and looking forward to the next race. The Canadian GP baby!

Of course, we are starting this week’s show with a roundup of the rumors flying around the paddock coming off the crazy run of races we have been treated to so far this season leading us into Monaco. Speculation is rampant.  We look at the driver’s standings, 4 different possible and current F1 circuits undergoing contract or layout changes, some Ferrari rumors which have been swiriling round the past few weeks, and some news about F1’s newest giant sponsorship deal with Heineken!

All hail our new hero, the one they call MAX. We begin this week’s show with the obvious - a recap of what ended up being one of the greatest races in recent times. We’re gonna give our opinion on the ROS-HAM incident. Tune in for all the tasty tasty speculation. Mid-Season testings begins today, too, and we have a breakdown of the morning session, as well as some MORE new mid-season rules coming into effect at Monaco about visor tear-offs.  Also, some Brazillian pride, the youngest drivers of all time and maybe one or two other things.

We go over the recent mid-season seat swap at the Red Bull-owned teams and cover why it might not be as unprecedented as it seems, as well as looking forward to this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona The second segment this week deals with a tribute to the great Gilles Villeneuve, the big come-up of another to-be-great Canadian Nicholas Latifi, and the possibilities of 2017 Cars and Grands Prix including Moscow, London, Las Vegas and Monza   -   whuuuuut!?

Starting the show today with a recap of the chaotic Russian Grand Prix, as well as diving into the conspiracy theory surrounding Lewis Hamilton, the controversy surrounding the Red Bull windshield, and the clash between Kvyat and Vettel in the first lap.  What a race! Finishing off the show this week with some debate about the canopy/halo concepts, some various opinions about them and a few other tid-bits from the past week including remaining token counts for this season.

We kick off the pre-Russia show this week with an interview and chat with Tobias Grüner, journalist with Auto-Motor-Und-Sport magazine. We close out the show this week with a quick preview of the Russian Grand Prix from this May 1st, as well as covering some of the few smaller stories that have come up in the past week.

We start the show with a review of the Chinese GP. There is a lot to talk about surrounding Ferrari this week in light of the EU commission investigation, Sergio Marchionne making demands, Alfa pondering a re-entry to the sport and a few other interesting quotes. In the bits we go quickly over Vijay Mallya’s arrest warrant, Rio Haryanto’s large, looming owing, the reprofling of Sepang and the attempt at a return for the Kyalami South African Grand Prix, and why Jackie Stewart thinks Mercedes should leave F1.

⅔ of us today. We look forward to this Weekend’s Chinese GP, talk about the triumph of common sense with the qualifying format (or was it?), and something about the money Ferrari gets paid.

This week we start with a review the Bahrain GP and all of the madness that went along with that, as well as the rest of the big news of the week. Rosberg implicated in the Panama Papers, Alfa Romeo taking over the Sauber team? Some ridiculous Bernie quotes. Osterreichring restorations underway??? And the Azeri war We talk to Motorsports Analyst and fellow F1 fan Tim Hauraney from TSN - The Canadian F1 Broadcaster. This was good one, don’t miss it! In the final segment of our show today, we go over the recent evolution of Alfa Romeo’s motivation of their intentions to enter F1, and some recent developments that may make it happen sooner than we may have recently been led to believe. As well dietrich mateschitz’ moves to return the Osterreichring to it’s former glory. As well, some crappy news regarding Azerbaijan.

Dan is back from his vacation and we discuss the upcoming action at the 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend. Everything that’s gonna be excited and a couple of things that aren’t that exciting - Qualifying format, we’re talking about you! We also give our opinion on the big mess that F1 finds itself in right now. We also have a great time talking about F1 with Dr. Andrew Phillips of F1METRICS

In a Dan-less episode we go over the action during the 2016 Australian GP, including all the mess that led up to it and repercussion coming from it that will affect the year to come. We discuss our reactions to seeing and hearing the 2016 cars tear down a track in anger, as well as the usual dose of ramblings and speculation.

Can you all feel it? Formula 1 IS BACK BABY! And despite anything that Mr. E. might say about it we are super stoked for F1 in 2016. We’re gonna talk about the Australian GP coming up this weekend and we are also announcing our brand new CONTEST - WIN 2016 CANADIAN GP TICKETS. Illegal viewership of F1 has exploded and never been accounted for Dr. MP Mallya is in big trouble, guys…Ecclestone is as erratic as ever, McLaren has woes from every angle - still, and Sauber doesn’t have any money - still. Baku setup situation, Renaults REAL livery has leaked from a beach today, the full wookie full video in the final segment. Fun stuff all around.

This is the third chapter in the saga of the 2016 Qualifying Rule Change. First it was agreed upon but it couldn’t be implemented in time. Then the format changed again. And now since last week it’s been reverted to the original idea, yeah that one that apparently couldn’t be implemented in time. We’re gonna try to take another stab at unraveling this mess. We also go over the list of radio messages that will be allowed in 2016… which allegedly is FAR shorter than the list of disallowed messages might have been. As well, we talk about what we learned (or didn’t) from the preseason round of tests that just culminated last week in Barcelona. Inevitably this means we’re gonna talk about the #Halo and why that has been one of the most interesting talking points. We talk about the overall form that we saw from the teams and why 2016 will be awesome

So basically everything about the new Quali rules from last week went out the window... of course. Allegedly the software can't be written in time, but maybe it can??? As well, we go over the first week of testing and the new cars and liveries, and a few other details that have come up over testing which are probably going to affect the season going forwards. Mike was sick last week, and right now he is in sunny Florida! But we will absolutely be back in full studio mode next week for FOF50! Possibly with a big exciting announcement, possibly with a big exciting guest? Tune in to find out, obviously. Thanks for watching!

Mike caught the flu so we put together a shorter version of the show this week focusing on the new Qualifying format just announced yesterday which may come into effect as early as Melbourne, the testing results so far, and a little bit about the opinions on the Halo system which has also just been announced. We ended the show with a quick segment about the departure from Honda of Arai and his replacements. The video cut out in the last 15 minutes or so because of the limitations of the FAT filesystem, and there are no links this week because this was recorded on a phone without the use of any production or studio equipment.

It is extremely unfortunate, and we regret to tell you that the main-body portion of this week's podcast was recorded without audio due to a technical error involving a loose cable.  It won't happen again!  On the fortunate side, there hasn't been a whole lot of real F1 news this week so we mostly talked about silly business in the sport...

We start with a review/overview of the changes to the 2016 grid from cars to drivers to the power units behind them. A refresher for those familiar, and a primer for those who aren't. Getting closer to 2016 testing and Australia, more and more details are beginning to emerge on the changes to the "power units" for this season. Are Mercedes REALLY afraid of Ferrari? Have Honda actually unlocked 223bhp? Are they still size-zero? What kind of reliability upgrades have Renault managed to homologate this year? And TOKENS HAVE BEEN ABOLISHED for 2017! So Lewis Hamilton, since 2008, has been fighting, has sued, and has won a case brought against the Government of his home country of Grenada by his own company Time Burke Holdings over the ownership of a prime piece of land on the Grand Anse Beach, one of the best in the world. Doesn't wrap up with the happy ending that you might expect from such a 'fun' guy... Way too much to summarize in a paragraph, unfortunately, but a very interesting story which sheds a different colour of light on Formula 1's current World Driver's Champion. Couple of strange side stories. WHY did Lewis Hamilton learn to ride a unicycle? How much neck exercise is required to drive a Formula 1 car? (A lot)(enough to crack walnuts with your neck - actually). Jay-z smiles more than Lewis. And a thermal-imaged video of the Red Bull F1/Rugby scrum from last week.

Park the Maldozer! We’re gonna talk about the recent developments regarding the Team Lotus, Now Team Renault driver lineup for this year and why it’s very exciting (Kevin Magnussen). We also look at the billionaire behind KMAG, how he made this happen, as well as some of the great "comebacks" in recent F1 history. Baku is NARROW, and we have a video of a lap of the circuit to preview. At the same time, the USGP is in financial trouble, and the British GP is in BIG financial trouble. We talk about the money and RACING FAN solutions to the problems. The English solution is massive. Like London GP massive. It's going before parliament to make it happen type of deal. So remember that Pirelli XWET test that just happened? Well it turns out Pirelli also secretly changed the composition of the tires after the Abu Dhabi test last year, adding and "Undertread Layer" to bring back the PERFORMANCE CLIFF, without telling anyone, and what that’s probably going to mean for the year. As well, Pirelli and FOM have partnered up to bring a new level of tyre data and analysis to your television during live races in 2016. Woo. We touch on some of the other smaller stories going on around the world of Formula One for this week including the "Sahara" half of Force India being for sale due to fraud, the 2016 car's release dates, #TEAMLH and his painting collection, and more.

This week we started with the wet-weather test at Circuit Paul Ricard in France for Pirelli testing their new XWET compounds over two days. We moved on to a follow-up to Geneva and the law-type proceedings surrounding F1 which took place there last week. We then spoke on Manor's huge apparent turn-around ahead of the 2016 season and went from there to talking about a ton of potential new tracks to be added and potential old tracks to be removed from the F1 championship circuit. Finally, the weekly odd stories and strange happenings.

Hang with us as we try out some new things with the show during the off-season. Apologies for the terrible editing this week, the transition might be rough, but we believe it will be better in the long term. This week we got into the details that came out of Geneva about Formula 1 2017. We looked at where Pirellli is going into 2016, pre-season tests, and the dates for the mid-season testing for this year. As well, we did a segment on Manor and how hard they seem to be working to move forward and turn their fortunes around. We break down the leaks about each of the upgraded engines and announced launch-dates for cars, and Massa pees his pants.

We talked about the Pirelli Wet Weather Tyre Testing Party coming up, we had a few words on Sergio Marchionne and the future of F1, there's a bit of Tag-Bull token speculation, the 2016 changes to the cars and engine, and DC going to 4. All that and a bit of vagabondage somewhere in between.

We are back up and running after the holiday break! We begin to look deeper at the new FIA International Court of Appeal and how judges are appointed to their posts. We look at the progress HAAS racing has made leading up to the preseason testing in a few weeks. We take a special look at Switzerland and their motor racing heritage... or lack thereof, and their move towards hosting a Formula-E race in the upcoming season after over 60 years of racing being banned within the country. We also spent a bunch of time looking over a handful of smaller stories which may have an effect on the coming season on racing.

In our last episode of this year, we go over some recent news from the new HAAS F1 team, we clarify a few things about the 2016 Pirelli tire rules, we talk about how the 2017 rule shakedown could be on shaky grounds and we discuss a few things we are looking forward to in the year to come...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! in this mini episode Danny and J go through some of the recent F1 news and discuss our F1-related Christmas Wishes for the season to come.  Cheers!

Paul Hembry has some interesting new ideas for the Formula 1 championship as a whole. We talked about this as well as a bunch of other Pirelli related news. Tyre choices for Australia must be in by this Friday! What does the return of the Alfa Romeo name to F1 really mean? Who had the most first-lap overtakes for 2015? Which driver was the best value in $$$/Point this past season? ..and the worst? Could Indonesia be sponsoring a driver for the Manor team in 2016? How many talk shows can Lewis Hamilton appear on? #WhereIsRoscoe?

Bernie Ecclestone and Jean Todt have been granted magical powers by the FIA! We discuss what this might mean for the sport in the near-term, if they can pull off the kind of tricks they have planned. Renault is taking the keys to the Enstone factory, officially this time, and sending a set of badge-less engines to Red Bull. Red Bull have also made it official that they will be badge-ing those engines with TAG-Heuer badges, and we all can't wait to see what they can do with them... and all the other sponsors who have shuffled around and around. We went over the results we could find from the World Motorsports Council meeting which happened since our last show, and also discuss the potential sale of the controlling stake in F1 by CVC Capital Partners to one of a select few individuals. Bernie made this information known this past week, stating that there are only "probably 4 people in the world who could afford it". But he also said the same thing this time last year so... Somewhere in there we also discussed www.Motorsport.com as a source for racing news, and who is really writing all of those juicy stories? And how much weight do a lot of them really have? Could we all be enjoying our Formula 1 action through Amazon Prime??? There were, of course, a lot of other points discussed, but you'll have to give a listen to discover what they are. Thanks for checking out the show, don't forget to hit subscribe and leave a comment if you like what you heard. Or if you didn't-

This week we welcomed a friend and fellow F1 fan Peter into the studio to get a different perspective on the sport and the end of the season. We went through a brief race-review from Abu Dhabi, and went through what we know about the Ultra-Soft tyre test today at the Yas Marina circuit. Javier broke down Ferrari's threats to leave Formula 1 and/or motor racing all together, alongside their recent NYSE public offering of the company's shares (ticker: RACE), their plans to increase production numbers and prices on their road cars, and how that might affect their racing and vice-versa. We also did our best to break down the supercomplicated relationships between LVMH, TAG-Heuer, the TAG Group, the McLaren Group, Red Bull, Renault, Nissan, the Govenment of France, Ron Dennis, Christian Horner, and ultimately, Donald MacKenzie of CVC Capital Partners. There were a few other mini-stories in between. Roborace, Vijay's retirement, World Motorsports Council meeting Dec 3, 2015, television watching numbers, Aston Martin entering F1, and the ridiculously low attendance expected at next year's European Grand Prix. Thanks!

This week we laughed at Maldonado for a minure about how he defended his style, and at Lewis for crashing his Zonda. The final race at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi is this weekend, so of course we looked forward to that. Today was also the day of an F1 strategy group meeting, and we had a look at the agenda. Two or three independent manufacturers have expressed interest in supplying an alternate engine for F1, we looked at what we know of their proposals. We had a look as well at the Japanese Super Formula and how it relates to F1 for young drivers. Thanks for listening!

This week we spent some time looking over the penultimate Grand Prix of the 2015 Formula 1 season.  We definitely didn't think this race was as boring as everyone else seems to have, but maybe soooomething could have spiced it up... We moved on from the race, to a feature discussing some things that you probably didn't know about the three brake suppliers to Formula 1...

The Brazilian Grand Prix is this weekend, get excited!  We preview the race and go over some of the recent changes to the circuit at Interlagos (Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace).  As well, we had a laugh comparing Rosberg's 2014 pole lap to the speed of the record-setter of Montoya in 2004. We talked about what some of the recent personnel changes at McLaren...

This week had the pleasure of speaking to a real live Formula 1 Race marshal!  Mike the Marshal was the Turn 7 Blue Flag Marshal for the United States Grand Prix two weeks ago at the Circuit of the Americas.  We originally met Mike in Montreal at the Grand Prix this year and had a great time talking about racing...

Lewis Hamilton is the Three-Time Formula 1 World Champion, and Nico Rosberg is pretty upset about it. Both of them got really wet! We talked about the U.S. G.P. and how Hurricane Patricia made everything awesome this weekend. At least for anyone watching on television. What is a "Package"?

A shorter, more concise edition of FOF. We discuss The Circuit of the Americas in detail, going over the layout, design, a bit of its brief history and why it is so quickly becoming a beloved venue for racing. South of the American border, we played the first high-speed lap around L'Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in an F1 car, and a beautiful quad-copter flyover showing the circuit and it's place in Mexico City.

Holy Sochi! We review a great race from Russia, talk about the developments surrounding the Red Bull 2016 engine conspiracy situation, and how it sits among other news involving the sale of F1 and other rumored handshake-deals...

This week we relayed some breaking news about the imminent sale of Formula 1 as a whole, re-evaluate the McHonda woes, look at Red Bull's engine prospects going forward, discuss some possible implications of the revised 2016 race schedule and look at Sochi before the weekend. Thanks to everyone who watched live!

This week we recapped the Singapore Grand Prix since we missed last week :S and talked about the Japanese race in the context of all of the drama surrounding Red Bull not having an engine for 2016 and the possibility of them leaving F1, Lotus possibly not having an owner for 2016 and McLaren possibly not having Button and/or Alonso for 2016.

We are back after an unexpected break! We briefly cover the action of the Belgian and Italian Grands Prix, We talk about Monday's strategy group meeting and its repercussions looking towards 2016 and 2017, Bernie says the 2016 Calendar could go all the way to december, we talk engines and how 2016 is gonna be yet another throaway year. We also do a short preview of the upcoming hazy Singapore Grand Prix.

We are back from the WayHome Music and Arts Festival and all saw the race late in the week. But what a race it was! We go over our long list of weekend highlights, cover the news updates from the past week and go deep into the ownership structure of F1.  And of course, we get off topic a little bit.

Today we go over the tragic death of Jules Bianchi, we talk in more detail about some of the decisions of the world motorsport council, Gene Haas, and other stuff. This was our second straight to youtube live episode.

In our first Live-to-youtube episode, we go over the action at the Fantastic British Grand Prix, we talk about the future of the sport and bring you the latest on the decisions of the world motorsport council. We also talk about Michelin's bid to Formula 1 among many other things.

Apparently Arrivabene is everywhere, Raikkonen's career is over, Sochi Flooded, The Austrian GP was boring and will always be - probably (besides, the track looks like a whale), Jean Todt is wrong - as always. Because of the lack of action on track, we look forward to the British GP

So we went to Montreal for the Grand Prix and despite the lack of action on the track, it was really really fun and we tell you why. We also talk about what is wrong with F1 and where things are going with the sport.

On our triumphant 20th episode we talk a little bit about the whole Monaco debacle last week - not too much cuz pretty much everyone else has been talking about it. More importantly though, we look forward to all the upcoming action at our favourite GP: THE CANADIAN GRAND PRIX coming up this weekend. Lots of features around Montréal since we will be there. Awesome. Give us a listen. We also discuss the new engines to come in Canada and all the other upgrades the teams are bringing.

On our 19th episode we cover many topics including the upcoming 2015 Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton is very proud to be his own manager, you know? We also do a Monaco 2014 refresher, Mike gives us his opinion on the weather this weekend in Monte Carlo, We review the action during FP1 FP2 on Thursday, we talk about the GPDA Global Fan Survey, Ferrari Brake duct comparison for this weekend, Pirelli tire strategies for next year, and so much more we didn't even get a chance to cover. Did we mention we talk about Monaco? Cuz we do. A lot.

We go over the happenings of the Spanish GP at Barcelona and a brief look ahead to Monaco, the Ferrari fuel flow-rate conspiracy, the rear-left tyre conspiracy, the future of Pirelli in F1, and some of the inner workings of the F1 Strategy Group, and all of their proposed changes to the sport for 2016 and beyond.  Refuelling, 1000+ HP, more aggressive aero, higher revs, and reduced weight, as well as changes to the entire format of a race weekend.
