LIVE and recorded before any of the big news from the last week dropped, it's the End Of Year Spectacular! Terry flew in especially and we all went to the pub and tried to remember what happened over the course of 2024, with extremely limited success. Listen, enjoy, and Max Verstappen bless us, every one.

Congratulations to Max Verstappen, who hasn't actually won the 2024 Formula 1 season yet, but he has really after Lando Norris fluffed it all up. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at another month of F1 in their customary inexpert style, replete with all sorts of very interesting conversations and debates that have very little to do with the subject at hand. As usual. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's October! And that means a desperate scramble by Ollie, Phill and Terry to remember the past month of F1, including confirmation that Daniel Ricciardo will be fired out of a cannon to welcome Liam Lawson in for his probation period. Also Adrian Newey's confirmed at Aston Martin and impending ruin is confirmed at Red Bull. There's discussion about all that and a great deal of completely unrelated nonsense, as you've come to expect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's September, and before it's even ended we've woken up and decided to look back over the past month of F1. Ollie, Phill and Terry ask: who the hell is Franco Colapinto, are McLaren blowing it and how the hell did Ferrari put a race-winning strategy together? Plus lots of other miscellany and many, many diversions. Enjoy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's the summer break, but not for the hard-working minions at FF1S. We look back over the past month, talking mostly about Not Races. We critique Audi and Alpine with unrestrained savagery, wonder how the hell Sergio Perez still has a job, delight in the stroppy radio messages from the Hungarian Grand Prix and reflect on the times they've been fired from our jobs.

Like Lewis Hamilton himself, still we rise. Ollie, Phill and Terry are back with more F1 nonsense, except this time it's more freeform, like hot jazz. Also it's only once a month because there are too many races. Will the new format be a success? No idea. But let's give it a go. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Look, we expected little. Aside from the first-lap hilarity, we got sweet naff all and possibly one of the dullest races in F1 history. Still, well done Charlie Clark, eh? Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at the boredom, consider the Senna hysteria and then get muddled up with something else or other. Roll on Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to another preview episode of FF1S, this week taking a shallow dip into what's in store (or not) this weekend. Also, we field some of your questions - one of which, frankly, is disgusting.

Amid memories of a tragic day, Imola returned to the F1 calendar and after touching all our hearts turned out to be a shit day of dull racing. But it did at least give us hope that McLaren continue to catch Red Bull and that maybe the title battle will last a little longer than last year. Ollie, Phill and Terry consider all of this, get distracted by Terry's neighbour and generally get inappropriate about anything and everything, because that's just what they do.

The Imola Grand Prix weekend is upon us, bringing a silly name and memories of those we've lost along the way. Ollie, Phill and Terry skirt tactfully around the various elephants in the room and look forward to the race, but not before answering your questions in the wake of the Miami Grand Prix, with only minimal inappropritude.

Who saw that coming? Not us! In this edition of FF1S Ollie, Phil and Terry delve into the race the race that Verstappen didn't win, the Miami Grand Prix. Ollie gets very angry at an orange man, Terry falls in love with an orange bollard and Phil chats sensible F1 things, but probably had an orange before the recording. All that and of course, Terry's state of F1. Enjoy. Hey you - why not join The Whinging Moustache! Imagine a pub. The kind of one with a flat roof in a council estate. In there are three old men staring up at the Sky Sports TV screen watching the F1.

After five years away, the Chinese Grand Prix returned with a flurry of rain, flaming grass and an all-too-predictable result. Ollie, Phill and Terry dissect the race and sprint race at the Shanghai International Circuit and, be warned, Terry does some impressions. Also, we find out which F1 drivers Ollie nearly killed and saw in their pants. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this preview episode of FF1S, Ollie, Phill and Terry prepare to welcome back the Chinese Grand Prix, a race we'd forgotten about and have no strong feelings about one or the other. Phill wholeheartedly embraces cliché as he takes a deep dive into the Shanghai International Circuit and the wonders that await us, but only after the team answers your questions.

After the merest hint in Australia that maybe Max Verstappen and Red Bull wouldn't dominate the season, our hopes were dashed in Japan as we went back to the usual format. Perez is still doing an impression of being good, Sainz is still doing an impression of being better than Leclerc, and Logan Sargeant's impression of a million pieces of carbon fibre is apparently contagious. Ollie, Phill and Terry talk about all that, and there's an insight into Terry's film career, too. He was in Skyfall, you know.

It's RACE WEEK, as it is just about every week. This time Formula 1 goes to JAPAN, which is normally at the end of the season but now isn't because tradition is a nasty word that we don't need in F1 anymore. Ollie, Phill and Terry reflect on your questions in the wake of the Australian Grand Prix – Sainz, Russell, Alonso etc – and then look ahead to the Suzuka showdown in the GREAT FF1S BIG PREVIEW, as we're not calling it. It has FACTS GALORE, some of which might even be true. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After waking up at horrible o'clock for the Australian Grand Prix, it was a pleasant surprise to have an interesting race for once. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at Carly Simon's dominant win in Melbourne and ask the important questions: does anyone remember Ollie Bearman? Is this the start of Red Bull's decline, and is it because of what happens when you play with yourself in the bath? Plus why Fernando Alonso steals burgers, probably.

With the Middle East dirge races behind us we now head hopefully to Australia and perhaps the first decent race of the season maybe possibly. Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne, and preview the best that Melbourne has to offer, including facts about the Australian Grand Prix that you never knew, probably maybe. Plus, we answer your questions to the best of our limited abilities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Saudi Arabian GP came and went and Max Verstappen won again. But the real story was Ollie Bearman, who is surely the greatest Formula 1 driver in history now. Phill and Terry are joined by their own super sub, Drew Stearne, to look back at the Bearnaissance and ask - what does this mean for his career, for F1 and indeed for humanity? Also Red Bull's implosion continues everywhere except the track, so that's fun.

After months of waiting, the Bahrain Grand Prix delivered a fizzle and a result that we'll probably be seeing a lot of. Again. But F1 is at least still delivering the drama - it's just happening on WhatsApp. Allegedly. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at the race in Bahrain and tiptoe delicately across a legal tightrope to explore the Hornygate saga with all the sensitivity you've come to expect.

F1 is nearly back! And it's not going away for a while. Ollie, Phill and Terry take a deep breath and look back at the off-season news, of which there was a lot, and pre-season testing, of which there wasn't much. As well as our usual cutting-edge insight and analysis there's also an update from Terry on whether or not he's done any new t-shirt designs like he promised, and also we're opening a pub. WHAAA?

Never mind the final race of the season, never mind the annual FIA prize-giving – this is what it all comes down to. The FF1S gang gather IN PERSON, at an ACTUAL PUB to debate the 2023 Formula 1 season and all who sailed in her. We'll reflect on the good, the bad, the hilariously inept and the grudgingly rather impressive, before pronouncing an actual winner that isn't Max Verstappen. It's the only record he doesn't have. Listen, be merry, buy us a drink (pintpintpint) and we'll see you in 2024. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back an an underwhelming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and ruminate on the season, before remembering that there's an end of season episode coming up and they should probably wait for that. So most of this is just filler. Anyway, enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was simultaneously an absolute shitshow even by F1's cackhanded standards, and yet also one of the best races of the year. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to discuss manhole destruction, what the point of the backmarker teams is, and all sorts of stuff that actually isn't anything to do with F1 but just sort of cropped up. As usual. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Better late than never, Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to try and remember what happened in the São Paulo Grand Prix, while also looking forward the the gaudy, neon-drenched clusterfuck that the Las Vegas GP will probably be. We also hear about Terry's Miami adventures and why Phill makes bad car choices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This should be the São Paulo Grand Prix Episode, but unfortunately we have massively fucked up our logistics and so it isn't. It's just a placeholder to tell you how much we've Ferrari'd things up, and to apologise. But we WILL have an episode before the next Grand Prix. Almost definitely. Ok. Sorry.

Mexico arrived in a sea of stereotypes, including sombreros, mariachi music, Max Verstappen winning and Sergio Perez making a disgrace of himself. Phill, Terry and Ollie talk about all that, as well as the unexpected bonus of Daniel Ricciardo driving well, how setting up a car works and whether McLaren and Aston Martin are actually connected telepathically or something.

F1 has returned to the Americas with a race dominated by talking in the braking zone, tyre strategies and the fact there are still bits of wood bolted to the bottom of the cars.

Qatar promised little but deivered chaos, vomit, crashes and a world championship. And all we needed was oppressive heat and some shitty tyres.

Would Japan be Red Bull's downfall after the shocker of Singapore? No. Utter dominance returned and Red Bull are six-time champions. But also McLaren are good, Perez is shit and who will get the boot next season? All this and much more unrelated nonsense is discussed by Phill and Terry, with Ollie Peart trying to keep everything in check. And largely failing.

Best race of the year? And all we had to do was completely nobble the Red Bulls for mysterious yet apparently not-at-all dodgy reasons. Singapore was a bit of a classic and didn't even need rain to spice it up. Phill and Terry are joined by guest host Drew Stearne to talk about all the drama on the streets of Marina Bay, including the crashes, the strategy, tarantulas on trains and the contents of Terry's bin.

Monza. The home of Ferrari, the home of the tifosi. The home of a surprisingly good performance from the Maranello team. Not good enough to win, obviously, but still. Phill and Terry are taken aback at Ferrari's not-shit performance, and with guest host Drew Stearne reflect on the Italian Grand Prix with an unusual amount of insight.

The Dutch Grand Prix brought rain, crashes, a red flag and lots of entertainment, and then Max Verstappen won because of course he did. Phill and Terry are joined by Olllie Peart to discuss the zaniness at Zandvoort, and then almost immediately take a deep dive into the back catalogue of Wet Wet Wet. Because of course they do.

Belgium! The land of waffles, chocolate and Max Verstappen's homeland, and also home to the Belgian Grand Prix, which was either interesting or tedious depending on who you ask. Phill and Terry are joined again by Drew Stearne to dissect the weekend of rain, no rain, bickery radio messages and a Night of the Long Knives at Alpine. Plus the usual music, laughter and libellous accusations thrown around with carefree abandon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hungarian Grand Prix promised much, with an exciting qualifying and the suggestion that MAYBE Max Verstappen wouldn't romp to an easy victory. But then he did, within literally one corner. Still, it proved a mildly engaging race that will be fervently dissected and analysed by Phill and Terry, together with guest host Drew Stearne. They'll talk about Daniel Ricciardo returning, Lando Norris smashing shit up, and Alfa Romeo being notable for once. Listen. Laugh. Love. Learn more about your ad choices.

Impressively soon after the British Grand Prix and just before Alphatauri killed Nyck de Vries and replaced him with Daniel Ricciardo, Phill and Terry are joined once again by Ollie Peart. Together, they discuss terrible anthems, excellent orange (and chrome) cars and all the other Silverstone gossip. They speculate wildly about the new F1 film with Brad Pitt and some other guy, and there's an excellent Martin Brundle fact that you're welcome to use.

Canada saw a return to form for Formula 1, by which we mean it was only mildly dull instead of a complete snoozefest. Phill and Terry are joined once again by Anouszka Tate to discuss all things Montreal, including dead birds, Italian race organisation and all sorts of ideas to Make F1 Great Again.

The Spanish Grand Prix was one of the most interesting races of the season, but with an incredibly low benchmark, that's not saying much. Still, Phill and Terry are joined by guest host Alex Goy to discuss the Barcelona race, and they focus mostly on George Russell's sweaty helmet. Did you expect anything less?

Monaco. It's the jewel in the crown of F1, except it's a very dull jewel and only sparkles if it gets wet. Nevertheless, Phill and Terry are joined by guest host Laura Leslie to discuss the dismal failure of Monte Carlo to make interesting racing, and also do some hardcore facts, some of which are accurate.

It was the Miami Grand Prix, but we're barely interested in that. Instead, for one final time, Cheeka Eyers hosts everyone's third or fourth favourite F1 podcast and we reflect on a lifetime together, assuming that lifetime is of an eight-year-old.

Every time we think we've hit peak F1, FQ just gets peakier. Cheeka's off this week, so Phill and Terry look back at the hilariously inept Australian Grand Prix, which saw red flags galore, woeful driving standards and some very shonky stewarding.

Human rights played second fiddle to racing and DRAMA in Saudi Arabia, as the wrong Red Bull won and the Verstappens were not happy about it. Cheeka, Phill and Terry marvel at the fallout, discuss Fernando Alonso and how no one knows what the pitstop penalty rules are, and look back at all the rest of the fun, games and incompetence from a weekend in Jeddah.Blurb: Human rights played second fiddle to racing and DRAMA in Saudi Arabia, as the wrong Red Bull won and the Verstappens were not happy about it.

F1 2023 is underway and Max Verstappen is champion. Thanks everyone, see you for testing in 2024. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the Bahrain Grand Prix and decide to forget about the championship, instead focusing on whether we like Alonso now, what the hell Ocon was doing and why Lance Stroll can drive a car well but can't ride a bike.

The testing is done. The moody intro shots have been taken. The shonky documentary is out. Yes, the new season of Formula 1 is about to start, so Cheeka, Phill and Terry have wearily dragged themselves back to the microphone to look back at three days of testing in Bahrain. There's a weary acknowledgement that, yes, Max Verstappen is going to run away with it, but hey, at least Aston might be OK, even if only with one driver.
