    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.

    Gasly. Kimi. Ferrari. Absolute Monza Chaos! | Italian GP Review

    “Send us a Hey Now!” The Italian Grand Prix at Monza delivered an absolute Formula 1 classic — and we’re still trying to work out how it all happened! Pierre Gasly kicked it all off by landing an epic pole position, Kimi Antonelli went from P19 to a sensational home victory, George Russell was left wondering what might have been, and Max Verstappen quietly picked up another podium. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s homecoming turned into a nightmare, with Charles Leclerc crashing out and Lewis Hamilton battling his way to sixth. Oh, and there were about a million overtakes in the race to boot! We break down all the drama from an unforgettable Monza race, from the opening-lap chaos and red flag to the strategy calls, overtakes, team orders and the incredible charge through the field. Was Antonelli’s victory one of the great Monza drives? Could Russell have done anything differently? And just what went wrong for Ferrari in front of the Tifosi? As always, we’ve got all the usual Dirty Side of the Track segments, including our take on the biggest talking points from the weekend, the stuff that made us laugh, the stuff that made us shout at the TV, and plenty of debate about what it all means for the championship. 🎬 Brian's Video Vault This week we've got two very different trips into the vault: 🏎️ My Dream Car – Lewis Hamilton's Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgWKWrrXvfc ✈️ Can You Land A Plane On All 24 F1 Tracks..? – Webby87 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fsgP8p3L04 So settle in, grab a drink and relive one of the most entertaining Italian Grands Prix in recent memory with us. 🏁 Dirty Side Podcast – Formula 1 from the fan perspective.

    If we ran F1 it would be better.....probably + Monza Preview

    “Send us a Hey Now!” There’s no race to review this week, so naturally we decided to do what every pair of F1 fans should do when left unsupervised: fix Formula 1. In this week’s Dirty Side Podcast, Rob and Brian put F1 under the microscope and come up with their own plan to improve the sport. We tackle eight big areas of Formula 1, from the cars and tires to circuits, sprint weekends, the championship and the rules. And yes, we get to the big question: what the hell do we do with sprint weekends? Could karts be the answer? But before we completely redesign the world's biggest motorsport championship, we get through all the usual Dirty Side business, including News & Social, Brian’s Video Vault, our F1 chat and plenty of the usual disagreements. And with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza just around the corner, we also turn our attention to the next race. We preview the Temple of Speed, look at the big storylines heading into the weekend, and make our latest F1 Casino picks. Will Rob and Brian finally make some sensible selections? Almost certainly not. 🛠️ THIS WEEK'S BIG DEBATE — FIX F1 We tackle eight areas where we'd change Formula 1: 🏎️ The Cars — What should an F1 car actually be like? 🛞 The Tires — Do we need more degradation, more strategy, or something completely different? 🏁 The Circuits — Which tracks need fixing, changing or saying goodbye to? 🌎 The Calendar — What would the perfect F1 season look like? ⚡ Sprint Weekends — Keep them, change them… or put everyone in karts? 🚨 The Rules — Can we let the drivers race without turning every incident into a stewards' investigation? 🏆 The Championship — Should winning matter more? 🤯 The Nuclear Option — The completely ridiculous ideas that might actually make F1 better. Then it's time to head to Monza for our race preview and see what we think could happen at one of the most iconic circuits on the Formula 1 calendar. 🎥 BRIAN'S VIDEO VAULT This week's selections: 🚗 Driving Francis Bourgeois' $70,000 Honda Jazz — Throttle House https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq7wmfZMcvY 🏁 So Long Zandvoort | Cadillac Formula 1® Team — Cadillac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cnO535qWI0 🇳🇱 The Last Race Review | Dutch GP 2026 — Lollipopman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5v6bzeboFw 👨‍🚀 10 Things F1 Driver Kimi Antonelli Can't Live Without — GQ* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjtGv5frNuY&pp=0gcJCRMMAYcqIYzv. So grab a drink, tell us where we've got Formula 1 completely wrong, and let us know what YOU would change about F1. 🏁 Dirty Side Podcast – Formula 1 from the fan perspective.

    That sprint was awful…then the race happened | Dutch GP Review

    “Send us a Hey Now!” The Dutch Grand Prix is in the books, and that means we’re saying goodbye to Zandvoort… for now. But before we get too emotional about the end of F1 at one of the calendar’s most distinctive circuits, there was the small matter of a Sprint weekend to unpack! Rob and Brian look back at everything from the final Dutch GP weekend at Zandvoort. We discuss the Sprint, the Grand Prix, the big winners and losers, the moments that had us talking, and whether Zandvoort got the send-off it deserved. As always, we’ve got all the usual Dirty Side segments along for the ride: 📰 News & Social – The latest stories, rumors, reactions, and nonsense from the world of F1 🎥 Brian’s Video Vault – Another trip down the YouTube rabbit hole 🏁 Race Review – Breaking down the Sprint and Dutch Grand Prix  🎰 F1 Casino – Were our picks winners, or did we leave empty-handed? 🔮 Looking Ahead – What’s next as the 2026 F1 season rolls on?

    Pitlane Paul takes over Cadillac Corner plus Dutch GP preview

    “Send us a Hey Now!” The summer break is over, Formula 1 is back… and who better to help us kick off the second half of the season than our resident Cadillac expert, Pitlane Paul! This week we have an extra-special edition of Cadillac Corner, as Paul joins us to look back at Cadillac’s first half-season as an F1 team. We talk about the highs, the lows, the progress, the frustrations and, most importantly, what Paul is hoping to see from the team as the season heads towards its final stretch. But Paul doesn’t get off lightly. He sticks around for the rest of the show as we work through the latest F1 news and social media, before heading into Brian’s Video Vault for another collection of F1 nonsense, challenges and spectacular mechanical failures. We then turn our attention to the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. With F1 returning from the summer break and the championship battle about to heat up again, we look at the track, the big storylines and what we expect to see when the cars hit the dunes. This year's Dutch GP is also a little different, with Zandvoort hosting its first-ever F1 Sprint weekend and the race set to be the final Dutch Grand Prix under the current calendar arrangement. And, naturally, Paul gets involved in the important stuff too. We finish up with our F1 Casino picks for the Dutch Grand Prix, where we're putting our imaginary money where our mouths are. Brian's Video Vault 🎬 We Made Liam & Arvid Cut Foods Perfectly In Half | F1 Grid Games F1 channel – 10 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El3bXTQGEcA 🎬 Driver Puzzle Challenge! | Grill The Grid 2026 | Episode 3 F1 channel – 29 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHj5SWxb75s 🎬 21 Times F1 Cars Disintegrated F1 channel – 16 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zd6K6QyPyc Bonus Video -  Official Trailer | Full Send: A Dirty Side Movie  https://youtu.be/xqXbBBA5ntU?si=iElTg3SWyBOV_hSC So grab yourself a drink, settle back in and join us as Pitlane Paul takes Cadillac Corner to the next level and helps us get ready for the return of Formula 1.

    We went shopping in F1’s aisle of mystery.....and found all this!

    “Send us a Hey Now!”  No racing? No problem! We’ve been to the F1 equivalent of Aldi’s Aisle of Mystery and somehow managed to cobble together an episode from whatever we found lying around!  With the F1 summer break in full swing, Rob & Brian bring you a gloriously random collection of F1-related nonsense, including: 🏎️ Our sim racing adventures – who’s been putting in the laps and who’s been putting in the excuses? 🎸 Foo Fighters! – because apparently we’re now a music podcast. 🔧 Why do F1 cars tweak their wings during pit stops? – a surprisingly serious bit of F1 tech hiding amongst all the chaos. 🔥 F1 Hot Wheels – because obviously we need tiny versions of F1 cars in our lives. 🗣️ Silly Season Rumour Review – separating the genuine whispers from the absolute nonsense as the driver market starts heating up. And, of course, Brian’s Video Vault is back with suitably random F1 video treats: 🎬 Formula1 Champions' Biggest Crash (2000-2025) – MSVD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQmA871bvc4 🎬 F1 Driver vs 50 Amateurs – Quadrant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqKqlBGwozo 🎬 Can Carlos and Alex Work as a Team? | F1 Grid Games – Formula 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoHLuhUd0us  So grab yourself a mystery aisle bargain, forget about the championship for a while and join us for an episode that absolutely should not work… but somehow does.
