Monaco royalty & where is Adrian Newey going next?
Pierre Casiraghi is Monaco royalty. Literally. Son of Princess Caroline, grandson of Grace Kelly and nephew of Prince Albert. He’s also a world class sailor and this week’s guest on FFS! He invited Eddie to his château in France to talk about growing up around the Monaco Grand Prix and a terrifying near-death experience he had racing offshore.

Customer Reviews
Raaaaagh
Love this show - the stories, experiences and F1 knowledge are incomparable & the contacts both DC and EJ have going back through the years who make an appearance is amazing. Always spot on with analysis and a solid measure of reality on key F1 topics make this show hard to beat. Please keep it going. I almost forgot one of my favourite bits, the EJ roar at the start and end cracks me up every time 👍👍🏴
Spoilt by EJ
Think before you speak man. You ramble uncontrollably. Tried to listen by skipping him but it doesn’t work. So sad, as DC is engaging, knowledgable, entertaining and at times - hilarious!
Same old boys club
Disappointed about the Australian episode. Both kopped out when it came to discussing red bull and the fia. They claim not to want to talk off track gossip. However, this is precisely what they do. The speculation around red bull and the fia needs to be investigated and discussed because it effects F1.
