“Send us a Hey Now!” After last week's off week we were back to watching cars on track and it was a sprint week to boot as F1 rocked up in Miami. Could Oscar Piastri make it three wins in a row? Would Lando seize back the initiative? Could Max make a run at a Miami win or would the challenge come from elsewhere? Who would win the sprint and could a team become the first team to win both the sprint & the main race? All these questions and more are answered on this weeks episode. Episode runni...

“Send us a Hey Now!” Not that long ago, on a race track far, far away... There came an end to a trilogy of races.

Maybe George would leave witness protection and go for the win? Episode running order as always is... 1) News & Social All the best bits from both the sports news out there as wel...

“Send us a Hey Now!” After a race that was not a thriller in Japan, we were hoping for something a little better this week and we were not disappointed! While the lead may not have been contested much there were a whole host of battles behind and a heap of gremlins or aliens creeping into the technology within both the cars and the broadcasting.

“Send us a Hey Now!” After what feels like a million years away, cars were back on track for a race as the F1 2025 season burst into life at the opener in Melbourne, Australia. We were keen to see if pre-season promise across the paddock would translate into race pace and also how the rookies would get on. Mother Nature decided to pop in as well via the sprinkling of plenty of rain over the track on race day. Was it a good race or a good spectacle? Listen as we dissect what we saw. Episode runni...
