It didn't come home. Unless you're Max Verstappen, who carried out an almighty beating of his Mercedes rivals at the Styrian GP at the Red Bull Ring. We also break down Mercs announcing a pulling of the plug in F1 in terms of the W12's development, and Lando Norris with ANOTHER strong day. We also break down the Dutch TT in MotoGP, as Fabio Quartararo tee'd off for his FOURth win of the year, but the massive announcement that Maverick Vinales would be leaving the Yamaha MotoGP team at the end of the year! We discuss all the going's on, what could happen next, and the rest of MotoGP's silly season!

Episode #311: Coming Home (2021 Styrian Grand Prix/Dutch TT)

Ladies, Gents, Enby Friends... The Hondemic is here. A Triple Header weekend where Honda power took EVERYTHING on the table. We had F1's French Grand Prix as Red Bull beat Mercedes at their own game. We had MotoGP in Germany as Marc Marquez took mhis first win in 581 days as he retook his crown as the King of the Ring! And we talk IndyCar too as Alex Palou steals a dub from Josef Newgarden at Road America! Oh and Formula E's mentioned too, as we talk Fanboost and Pascal Wehrlein's controversial penalty!

Episode #310: Hondemic(2021 French Grand Prix, Weekend of 20 June 2021)

An IndyCar special episode on the Infamous Dual in Detroit, with a shock winner in Race 1 as... *checks notes* Marcus Ericsson gave us IndyCar's FOURTH new winner in 2021 after the cruelty of Will Power's engine failing to restart on the final sprint. We also had Pato O'Ward come from 6th to 1st with 6 laps to go in Race 2 as Josef Newgarden had to drive over the limit on his tyres in order to survive and just ran out of road in the process. We also talk Jimmie Johnson getting criticism on Social Media, and his place in the series. Kinda hard to ignore it at this point with his constant struggles, combined with his team at Chip Ganassi Racing all winning races at points throughout the season? Is he justified to be there, or does his presence mean more than that in the series?

Episode #309: Choccy Milk (IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix)

Ladies, gentlemen, enby friends... The Baku. It happened again, a relatively tame raced turned completely chaotic with two tyre-blowouts, and a 2-lap sprint finish after Max Verstappen had a nailed on win detonate at his left rear. It also gave us a stunning podium with Sebastian Vettel hitting the podium for the first time in Aston Martin's history, and Pierre Gasly taking a damaged Alpha Tauri back to 3rd! We also talk Catalunya, with Miguel Oliveira upsetting the apple cart with a brilliant win, with Fabio Quartararo stealing headlines with his leathers exploding in the middle of the race, with a chest protector thrown out. We weren't best pleased. Enjoy the show!

Episode #308: Break At Baku (F1 Azerbaijan/MotoGP Catalan GP's)

WARNING: This Podcast contains a discussion of death and a fatal accident. If you would like to skip this difficult conversation, skip to 23:00 for the discussion of the Indy 500 instead. Look after yourselves. Obviously, a sombre edition of the show due to the tragic passing of Jason Dupasquier, a 19 year old Swiss rider in Moto3 who succumbed to his injuries last Sunday after a horrifying accident in Qualifying. We talk about the awfully sad weekend here and a Fabio win that played second fiddle in the top flight as the sport came to terms with the loss of one of their own. We also talk the 105th running of the Indy500, as Helio Castroneves pulled off a Lap 199 pass on Alex Palou to make history as the 4th member of the four win club, in a tremendously exciting race, and what it meant for the sport in general.

Episode #307: For Jason (MotoGP Italy 2021/105th Indy 500)

Oh dear. Just when you thought Charles Leclerc was on for a famous home victory at Monaco, Ferrari refusing to check one side of the car after a Q3 hit, ultimately cost them a win, and maybe two cars on the podium. We break down a newsworthy Monaco GP, where Verstappen dominated, Bottas was nailed by a dodgy wheel nut gun, and Sebastian Vettel passed Lewis Hamilton on track. Seriously. We also break down Indy 500 Qualifying as Scott Dixon captured his 4th pole position, the young guns of Herta and Veekay making the front row, and the shock and awe of two Penskes (Including Will friggin' Power), having to make it in via Bump Day! Oh, and the wonderful Zoeey Hamilton's back as well!

Episode #306: Shafted (Monaco GP 2021/Indy 500 Qualifying)

(NOTE: This was recorded before the Italian Grand Prix for MotoGP, that will be in Episode 307.) For the first time since 2017, we got to say the craziest words in MotoGP: Flag to flag. And we got one of those at Le Mans with Jack Miller taking another dominant victory, ahead of Zarco and Quartararo. We ask if Miller's a true contender, as well as break down Marc Marquez's return to the front of the field... Even if it was brief. We also talk about the GP of Indy and Rinus Veekay becoming IndyCar's 5th different winner in 2021, as well as Romain Grosjean hitting the podium for the first time in half a decade! Enjoy!

Episode #305: A Pair of Jacks (French MotoGP/Grand Prix of Indy)

In this week's episode, we try and pick the bones of an intriguing Spanish Grand Prix Weekend. Hamilton and Verstappen having a strategic fight with Mercs coming out on top, we take a deep dive on Sergio Perez's status as a teammate at Red Bull, and wonder what can be done to help Catalunya as a GP venue. Also, BEST. MONACO. GP. EVER. Formula E steals the show with an astonishing race around the full GP layout, with Antonio Felix Da Costa, Mitch Evans and Robin Frijns having an incredible fight that went to the entire flag!

Episode #304: Pinata

In this episode of #M101, we discuss F1's Portuguese Grand Prix, and yet more track limits drama as Max Verstappen's weekend somewhat fell apart due to more dubious decisions. We also discuss the driver's social media boycott that was replicated from English Football and how it somewhat missed the mark. We also talk MotoGP at Jerez and Fabio Quartararo's brutal case of Compartment Syndrome... IN THE MIDDLE OF A RACE as Jack Miller took his first win in nearly 5 years. And finally, IndyCar in Texas as Scott Dixon and Pato O'Ward split wins, we discuss O'Ward and IndyCar's youngsters future, and NASCAR's influence on the series as a strip of new tarmac tained the entire weekend!

Episode #303: Track Limited

We like Formula E on this show. Really, we do. But sometimes, the series screws the pooch. This was one of those days. Valencia isn't the normal sort of F-E track, and it showed, as their first race featured 5 Safety Cars, Lotterer going rogue, and a late-race Kilowatt reduction that caused absolute carnage as only 9 cars finished the race with enough usable energy. Oh, and Jake Dennis won Race 2. Because of course he did. We break it all down here, in Episode 302 of Motorsport101!

Episode #302: Reduction (2021 Valencia E-Prix Review)

Been enjoying IndyCar so far? Here's the gang catching up on the Season so far. In it, we include Ryan King being rinsed over Alex Palou beating him in iRacing and then winning at the start of the season, a massive Newgarden Wreck, and Colton Herta dominating at St. Petersburg! Enjoy!

Episode #301: Adios (2021 IndyCar Barber/St. Petersburg Reviews)

Yes, it's a marquee milestone here on Motorsport101, and it's our 300th episode! In this special edition, we shoot the shit for a little bit, before we talk about mainstream Motorsport media coverage and what we generally think of it, before we start celebrating some of our most favourite content creators on the platform. From old school sim racing, to game reviews, to alignment charts on NASCAR! Seriously though, thank you all so much for the last 300 episodes over the last 6 and a half years! It's been a pleasure to make, and thanks to all of our listeners, viewers, Patreon backers and hosts that got us to this point. We love you all!

The 300th Episode!

After 265 days healing from a broken arm and an three operations to fix it, Marc Marquez made his return to MotoGP. Motorsport101 (Three of them at least), break down his... remarcable return to the sport and an incredible 7th place finish. Oh, and Fabio Quartararo won, that's worth a mention, right? We also talk Moto2 as a fight broke out, we had a fire, and Raul Fernandez took his first Moto2 win, and the second coming of Pedro Acosta who stunned the sport again with another incredible victory in Moto3!

Episode #299: Remarcable (2021 Portuguese MotoGP Review)

1-1. Formula 1 returned to Imola and Max Verstappen returned the favour after a disappointing Bahrain fumble. But how we got there was fascinating. We had the two other Mercedes protagonists collide in spectacular fashion, Lewis Hamilton was bullied off the road, then put it in the wall... and still finished 2nd. And we even had Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc battle for a podium spot. F1 is 2/2 for interesting GP's this year, and we break down the big incidents, Bottas' future, and the return of McLaren in detail over the next hour. Enjoy!

Episode #298: One All (F1 2021 Emilia Romagna Review)

Formula E returned to the streets of Rome in emphatic fashion with two rather crazy races. Mercedes had the best "worst" weekend ever, with a win for Stoffel Vandoorne... and that was the only car that finished for the whole weekend. Nissan E-Dams were in the wars, as were Sam Bird. Norman Nato was denied a maiden podium, Sebastien Buemi and Lucas Di Grassi reignited an old grudge match, and Andre Lotterer lost in the worst's most electrified game of "chicken". Oh, and Jaguar leads a World Championship for the first time since Dre was born. Seriously. We break it all down in Episode 297!

Episode #297: When In Rome (2021 Rome E-Prix Review)
