    “Send us a Hey Now!” Which legendary independent F1 team would you bring back to the grid? This week on Dirty Side of the Track, we're looking back through Formula 1 history to celebrate the independent teams that are no longer with us. From championship-winning constructors to lovable underdogs, we've put together our Top 10 Gone But Not Forgotten F1 Teams — and then Rob and Brian have to make the ultimate decision: if we could bring just one back to the grid, who would get the call? But before we start resurrecting the ghosts of F1 past, we've got all the usual Dirty Side business to take care of. We run through the latest F1 News & Social, raid the Video Vault, catch up with the latest developments in Cadillac Corner, and then turn our attention to the upcoming United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas (COTA). It's time to see what Austin has in store, who might shine under the Texas sun, and what the boys are predicting for the weekend as they make their latest casino game picks. 🏎️ IN THIS EPISODE 📰 News & Social – We catch up on the latest Formula 1 news, talking points and paddock gossip. 🎬 Brian's Video Vault – Four more videos to send us down the F1 YouTube rabbit hole, from Lewis Hamilton talking food and Ferrari to a trip around the world's most recognisable circuits, Arvid Lindblad's Singapore mini vlog and the best reactions to the Singapore Grand Prix. 🚨 Cadillac Corner – We check in on Cadillac's F1 journey and the latest talking points surrounding America's newest team. 🏆 Top 10: Gone But Not Forgotten – We count down our top 10 independent F1 teams that have disappeared from the grid.

There's every chance this turns into another argument about the good old days! 🇺🇸 COTA Preview – We look ahead to the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas.

    “Send us a Hey Now!” Was that the Singapore Grand Prix or a particularly expensive way to catch up on some sleep?  Welcome to the Dirty Side of the Track Singapore GP Race Review, where the lights were bright, the city was spectacular, but the racing left us wondering whether we’d accidentally tuned into the wrong channel.

    We fixed the Madrid GP. You're welcome!

    “Send us a Hey Now!” The Madrid Grand Prix has been and gone, and let's just say… we've got some thoughts. This week on Dirty Side of the Track we have a discussion on one very important question: how on earth do we fix the Madring? After this year's snooze-fest, we take a serious look at what could be changed to make the Madrid circuit produce better racing. Better overtaking opportunities? Changes to the layout? Different approaches to the corners? We've got plenty of ideas. And then, because this is Dirty Side, things inevitably go completely off the rails. Random sprinklers? A mobile pit lane? Drivers changing tires on the back of moving trucks? Once we've exhausted the sensible suggestions, we're going properly stupid. We also have News and Social updates, a trip to the video vault, and a quick stroll over to Cadillac Corner to check in on F1's newest team. We then turn our attention to Baku and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Street circuits, big braking zones, long straights and the ever-present possibility of someone finding the wall — what could possibly go wrong? 🎬 VIDEO VAULT Journey to the Win | McLaren Racing McLaren Racing – 4 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNJ6JiKab9Y Which F1 Driver Is Better at Karting? Atlassian Williams F1 Team – 18 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkzKrepqAaA So grab a drink, settle in and join us as we attempt to fix Madrid, preview Baku and inevitably come up with some ideas that should absolutely never be allowed anywhere near an FIA circuit designer. 🏁 Dirty Side Podcast – Formula 1 from the fan perspective.

    Spanish GP Review - We try and make an episode while Paul just makes dinner

    “Send us a Hey Now!” The 2026 Madrid Grand Prix promised a brand-new challenge for Formula 1 at the Madring… but unfortunately, the race itself didn't exactly deliver a blockbuster.  In this weeks episode, we attempt to find something, anything in fact, to talk about after what was, fair to say, a seriously dull Spanish Grand Prix. We kick things off with all the latest F1 news before diving into a bumper Cadillac Corner, followed by another trip into the Video Vault. Then it's time to dissect the Madrid GP: the key moments, the talking points, the championship implications and, most importantly, how on earth we're going to fill an episode when the racing gave us so little to work with! And if the race wasn't exciting enough, Pitlane Paul is here to save the day… although remarkably, he's more interested in talking about cooking than Formula 1 this week.  That's right. We've reached the point where even Paul has run out of racing things to say. 📺 Video Vault The Ultimate Track Guide To MADRING! – Formula 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfu48zoFbi0 We Modified a Formula 1 Car, and Drove It on Train Tracks – Oracle Red Bull Racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu759oT11eE BTS of Filming a Commercial with F1 Superstar Kimi Antonelli – Anthony Edwards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuuEbpd4i2Q 🏁 Dirty Side Podcast – Formula 1 from the fan perspective.
