The Turkish Grand Prix was a bit of a let down, and we'll be honest, this episode might be too, because Cheeka's ill. However, she's replaced by professional replacement Cheeka, Alex Goy, who joins Phill and Terry to chew through the lumps of the race in Istanbul. Valtteri Bottas put in his annual good performance, but all eyes were on Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who failed to deliver much excitement. Still, it keeps the championship fight slightly interesting, so that's something.

For F1's Sake

Turn Eight Days a Week

The rain came to Russia right at the end and made an already interesting race much more fun. Lando Norris lost and Lewis Hamilton won, but then so did Max Verstappen. In a way. Cheeka, Terry and Phill look back on an incident-packed Russian Grand Prix, and also review the new Schumacher film in their usual insightful and considered manner. You want a newsletter?

(Ooh Aah) Just A Little Pit

The Italian Grand Prix provided a deathly dull sprint race and then a much more exciting main event. Cheeka, Phill and Terry discuss this unexpected winners, completely expected crashes and whether they deserved penalties, and then talk about sex toys and which driver you’d want to sleep with. Business as usual, really. We have a newsletter, released the Monday* after each race. Subscribe here: ff1s.com/newsnewsnews * no really

Drinky Boots

Zandvoort promised much, and delivered pretty pictures, orange fog and racing boredom. But Verstappen won, so yay the Dutch GP? Cheeka, Phill and Terry ask where it all went wrong, reminisce about Cheeka’s wedding, and talk about the new driver deals, including a great speculation about Alex Albon going to Williams that we then cut because it’s out of date now. Unlucky. We have a newsletter, released the Monday(ish) after each race. Subscribe here: ff1s.com/newsnewsnews

Ice Ice Bye-Bye

The Belgian Grand Prix… wasn’t. Phill and Terry get together to lambast the F1 idiocy that left thousands of people getting wet on a Belgian hill with no chance of a refund. They also wait for Cheeka to turn up and try and avoid a repeat of what reviews called “the worst episode ever”. Did they succeed? You decide. Please. DID YOU KNOW: we have a newsletter, released the Monday after each race? And this week's was our best yet, by all accounts. No really. Subscribe here: ff1s.com/newsnewsnews

We've Only Just Begun

Where to start with the Hungarian Grand Prix? With inappropriate humour and big gaps in our analysis of course. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the chaos on the Hungaroring and try to make sense of it all, through the medium of drinking and swearing. Obviously.

Can't Stop This Finn We Started

Silverstone saw two races for the British Grand Prix, except one wasn’t a race, except it was. Then Hamilton and Verstappen crashed and it was definitely someone’s fault, except it wasn’t. And everyone got Covid, probably. Cheeka, Phill and Terry are joined by a LIVE Listeners Corner phonein thing to talk about all the naughtiness in Northamptonshire, and there’s some terrible singing. Sorry.

The Whinger Takes It All

It's the second Austrian Grand Prix - and the fourth in a year - and it was nowhere near as bad as last week’s, even if Max Verstappen waltzed off to victory with no challengers. It was all action behind though; Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about harsh penalties, shouty radio messages and new contracts, among other unrelated nonsense.

Blurred Pit Lane Lines

The Styrian Grand Prix promised much and delivered mostly boredom and a silly name. However, it was punctuated by Bottas spinning in the pitlane, so that was fun. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about Max Verstappen’s Hamilton-like win, worry that next week will be the same again, and also reveal Terry’s new tattoo, which may or may not be Philip Morris related.

(Red Bull) Ring of Dire

Everyone expected the French GP to be boring, and for all Terry knows, it was, because he didn’t watch it. But Cheeka and Phill did, and so they all conspire to blather on about how strategy trumps pace, how stripes give us headaches and how no one every f*cking listens to us. And perhaps justifiably so.

Don't Double Stop Me Now

Azerbaijan was a slow burner. After marshals ran out of red flags in qualifying, the race saw Charles Leclerc go backwards but then not much happened. Luckily, Pirelli intervened, and then all hell broke loose. And in the end, nothing changed in the championship. Cheeka, Phill and Terry drink a bit and talk about Verstappen and Stroll’s smashes, Hamilton’s magic dance and then get distracted by anything and everything.

Every Silly Thing He Does Is Magic

Monaco! Big pile of shite, but at least the cars look nice, especially the McLarens. Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the usual Monte Carlo snoozefest but concede that the results were interesting. They also talk about Leclerc crashing deliberately, Bottas’s stripped nut and all the regular tangents.

Wake Me Up, After Monaco-co

The Spanish Grand Prix was deathly dull but also quite interesting, in classic Formula 1 style. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the Catalunya catatonia and get regularly distracted by vaccines, weddings and all sorts of other nonsense, before eventually getting back to whether or not it was a good race, whether Verstappen has already capitulated and whether Marzipan will get sacked by his dad.

Reprofiled Corners Of My Mind

F1 returned to Portugal, scene of a cracking race last year. This year’s wasn’t as good. Still, Hamilton and Verstappen had a bit of a tussle at Bottas’s expense, so that was something. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about all that, sprint races and how much we’re looking forward to the Canadian Grand Prix.

Qualifying Race, Now I’m A Believer

It's the Definitely Not The San Marino Grand Prix roundup, where Cheeka, Phill and Terry wonder why everyone had forgotten how to drive properly. Still, Max Verstappen messed up the least to win and all the Mercedeses piled into a wall, or each other, and Uncle Toto is angry. Also, Terry is sad, so send him (and the rest of us) a beer.
