Formula 1 Podcast 3Legs 4Wheels F1

22 Races and 21 wins along with another 5 sprint wins for good measure. You could say that this has been Red Bull’s season right from the start, with just a blip in Singapore stopping them from a complete clean sweep? You could say that but lets face it, it’s Max Verstappen that has done the majority of the heavy lifting for the team this year. So much so that he actually scored more points on his own than any other team managed with 2 drivers!

So this week on the podcast we look back at the season ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which once again was a bit of a parade, but a lot of a celebration as the 2023 F1 season drew to a close in the now traditional way of a day to night race in the desert, just for once we had all 20 runners classified as finishing, even though Ferrari had possibly the strangest strategy going for Carlos (but would it be a real race if Ferrari don’t confuse everyone, including their drivers, at least once a race?)

There’s more tangents than most other F1 shows as well as we go down some strange rabbit holes and there’s also the reappearance of an old “friend” in there too!

If you’re going to miss us in the off-season, don’t worry as we’ll be putting out shows over the winter and you can also join us on Discord too, along with Facebook & Twitter and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel and if you want the extra (Neckstra?) show then you can still sign up for our Patreon from £/$/€1 a month and find out what we’re talking about!

17 wins in a season with 2 races still to go, what more can you say about Max Verstappen’s out and out dominance in 2023 that hasn’t already been said? He chalked up the record (along with his 4th sprint win of the season too) at Sao Paolo at the weekend in what used to the called the Brazilian Grand Prix, but is now the Sao Paolo GP instead

This week on the podcast we take a look back at the weekend, one that Toto Wolff has described as one of Mercedes’ worst weekends in their entire time in F1 (Spain 2016 has entered the chat) and once again Alfa Romeo were utterly Saubernonymous. There’s a look at the new as well as get towards the twilight of the 2023 season. with Haas trying to get the results of the USGP from over 2 weeks ago changed with new evidence about track limits (between recording and releasing this their appeal has been thrown out for a lack of new evidence.) And all the tangents you’d expect

Was Sergio Perez ever in with a chance at winning his home race this year after saying he was fed up of “just” being on the podium? Well you might not be able to win a race on turn 1, but you can certainly lose one.

This week on the podcast we look back at a surprisingly incident packed Mexico City Grand Prix where Max Verstappen took the outright record for the number of wins in a single season and came one step closer to winning the Constructor’s Championship for RedBull effectively on his own. As per usual we go from the back of the pack (Aston Martin we’re looking at you here) to the front (no surprises who’s there), a bit like Lando Norris after a bad restart if you think about it,

Also tacked on at the end of the show this week is a special preview of our Patreon only show where we take a deep dive into Overtake My Heart, an “adult” novel about Daniel Ricciardo (no we’re not joking!) If you want to hear more, then sign up to our PPatreon from £/$/€1 a month

When the stewards announce disqualifications after the race again. This time round though it was for worn planks and skid blocks instead of track limits, so I guess that makes a change!

This week on the podcast we look back at the US Grand Prix (the 2nd US Race out of 3, but the only one called the USGP, following?) where, due to the sprint format, teams only had 1 practice session on Friday morning to actually get their cars ready for 2 races. While some teams went cautious when setting up for the bumpy Austin circuit, others tried to push things to the limit and in the case of Mercedes and Ferrari, they may have taken it a little too far.

There’s the usual team by team review and because we haven’t spoken to each other for a couple of weeks then there’s probably more tangents than there should be in an F1 show!

Also this week there’s a couple of people to thank. This week’s cover photo was taken at the track by “Harrsion” and posted to our Discord chat mid-race and made us all jealous! Also we’ve got another different closing theme tune again. This week’s track is called Fragile by a good friend of all of ours Steve “Noshie” Nash and all proceeds from the sale of this song go to the charity Hospice Isle Of Man. You can buy the track for £2 from https://stevenashsmallbear.bandcamp.com/track/fragile

That was an unexpected break for us thanks to a lot of reasons we don’t want to bore you with, but we’re finally back with new hardware and software and we can finally finish the half term review, even though we’re closer to the end of the season than we were when we started it!

To make up for taking a bit of time off, we thought we’d come back with something a bit special and the week for the first time in nearly a year and a half, we’ve got Craig Scarborough with us, so if anyone can tell us about the top 5 teams’ performance this year it’s got to be him!

So this week on the podcast we pick up where we left in the summer with a look at the top 5 teams in the Constructor’s Championship and where they’ve got things both right and wrong this year. Also on a big day of F1 news, we look at how the new McLaren wind Tunnel will give them an extra boost for the rest of the year and into 2024 and also what Andretti will have to go through to be accepted onto the grid after the FIA gave their approval that they can be an F1 team (If F1 actually let them join)

Thank you all so much for bearing with us while we’ve had a bit of a difficult time amongst us all and look out for some extra shows coming up between now and the end of the season

We weren’t planning on taking an early summer break this year, but due to a variety of reasons we’ve only just managed to get things together to record a show. So to make up for it we’ve packed things out this week with over 2 hours of stuff

First up is our half term review of the back half of the teams where we go from Alpha Tauri in 10th to the chaos that is Alpine in 5th place.

Also this week Paul & Kieren had a chat with F1 and all-round motoring writer Adam Hay-Nicholls about his time in the paddock and his new biography of Charles Leclerc that’s well worth a read (or a listen in Kieren’s case)

And if that’s not enough we’ve changed our closing theme music for this week as one of our friends has some new music out, so check out Above The Clouds by Mark Pendlebury

Hope all this makes up for being away for a while but we “should” be a bit more regular now for the next few months!
