FF1S.22.15 - Spa You Gonna Go My Way?
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.

FF1S.22.14 - Signed, Sealed, Delivered, or Not
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.

FF1S.22.13 - 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! Beer: ff1s.com/pintpintpint Shaved balls: manscaped.com + code ballballsballs Newsletter: ff1s.com/newsnewsnews
FF1S.22.10 - Zhou Me How To Live
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 joined by Carfection’s Drew Stearne to reflect on the weekend and talk yet again about racism. Yay!
The FF1S 2021 Review Of The Season Of Driving (Part 2)
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)
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.
FF1S.20.15 - I’m Romain Grosjean, Get Me Out Of Here
Bahrain Grand Prix
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
FF1S.20.14 - Better Call Stroll
Turkish Grand Prix
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
FF1S.20.08 - Pierre Eye For The Egalité Guy
Italian Grand Prix
Party mode has been banned, but not at AlphaTauri, where the booze is free flowing following Pierre Gasly’s emotional and frankly spawny victory at the Italian Grand Prix. 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.
FF1S.20.06 - My So-Called Race
Spanish Grand Prix
F1 finally hits its stride and goes Full Boring, as Hamilton is tediously brilliant, Bottas is predictably average and Verstappen is excellent in a second-rate car. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about the Spanish Grand Prix and also touch on algorithms and whether we should mention the 2016 world champion again.

FF1S.20.05 - Tyrefly
70th Anniversary Grand Prix
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.
FF1S.20.04 - Three Wheels of Fortune
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.
FF1S.20.03 - Through The Knee Hole
2020 Hungarian Grand Prix
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.
FF1S.20.02 Only Fool and Prancing Horses
2020 Styrian Grand Prix
The sequel to the Austrian Grand Prix was a bit disappointing, but at least qualifying for Austria 2: Styriana was entertaining, and there's always Last Lap Lando to keep things interesting. 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.
FF1S.20.01 Kerb Your Enthusiasm
2020 Austrian Grand Prix
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.
FF1S.98.13 - The Great Belgian Crash Off
1998 Belgian Grand Prix
It’s 1998, Cheeka is a child, Terry and Phill have terrible hair and David Coulthard just can’t stop crashing. The team discusses the carnage that was the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix and looks ahead to some actual 2020 racing, which may actually happen. Plus all the other news is calmly discussed in an informed and reasoned manner. Kind of.
FF1S.99.16 - Grander Sainz
1999 European Grand Prix
With lockdown still in effect, Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back on the 1999 European Grand Prix where everyone crashed or broke down and a Stewart won. A Stewart!
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. Stay alert, people!
FF1S.86.16 - Old Races Are The New Black
1986 Australian Grand Prix
It's the Australian Grand Prix! The first chance to see what all the teams have been doing over the winter break and... wait, what? Oh. Shit. OK, well in that case Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about the 1986 Australian Grand Prix and also contemplate Esports, coronavirus and all sorts of other waffle to keep you entertained while we can't go anywhere.
FF1S 20.00 - Race or Survive
Preseason Special
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?
