Missed Apex F1 Podcast

Join Spanners as he Trumpets and Sparkles, along with special chat room host Justin, examine the ins and outs of the Spanish Grand Prix. Discover why RoGro crossed the road, what caused Vettel to two stop (Spanners favourite object) and whether or not Friday practices mean anything (hint: they do if you pay attention). Also the panel dissect whether F1TV or Williams was the greater tragedy on the weekend (answer: yes) and discover whether or not Trumpets could possibly come up with enough race to fill the full race in 60 seconds (answer: yes, but according to the FIA half his material is now banned for Monaco). Finally, there’s a spirited game of whose fault is it (hint: no fair blaming Ericsson this time) along with the usual podium awards and a very special COTW, which Spanners finally remembered to do before the end of the show.

Joe Saward joins Missed Apex to give you a fantastic insight into the world of formula 1 from a man who has been reporting from every GP since 1988. No podcast brings you closer to the paddock... except the BBC one probably.

It’s an epic battle of titans as Spanners hosts the 3 MATTsketeers. Well, OK 2 titans and a modestly knowledgeable host  (Trumpets) as Somers and Carter get together for the first time and talk all things dubiously legal (in F1!!!). The show breaks traction faster than Rogro in Baku as Carter opens the vault to discuss the tricks his team was ready to play, but chaos truly takes hold when he tells tales from the Strategy Group that will leave you with a permanent case of Jaw/Floor disease. Ferrari vetoes, voting by fax machine, GROWN MEN acting like toddlers.

Court is in session! Spanners and Philpot go head to head to debate who was to blame for the Red Bull crash in this week's stunning Baku GP

We speak to US F1 commentary legend Bob Varsha about life behind the microphone.

Hoo Boy do we have a doozy for you today. Trumpets and Anil take a special look back at one of the most astonishing races in the past 20 years. See if Trumpets can indeed recap the entire race in under 60 seconds, find out whether either of them actually saw the race  in real time and then, guest star Spanners jumps in to recount a long hard day in the comms box. Oh yes, and flog the live show. From the terrifying accident at the start of the race to losing 4 leading cars in the last 25 laps, not a wikipedia stone goes unturned as they put their analytical and conversational genius to the time machine test in this epic recollection. And did we mention the WEATHER? AND, in things they (Trumpets) forgot to mention, turns out Bernie Ecclestone STOLE his sprinkler idea from Murray Walker, who came up with it during this race. Fur realz...

Spanners and Trumpets are joined by Bradley, Anil and Nick as they discuss all the many things that happened at the Chinese GP. Find out whose fault it REALLY was (mostly Spanners according to his wife) whether Mercedes made the right call with their Safety Car Strategy (Brad’s answer: it depends!) and the fastest car in the race (according to Anil, it just may have been Ferrari).  Nick completely doesn’t talk about hockey and, shocking development, Comment of the Week is once again relegated for a technical violation!!

Join Trumpets on a journey of discovery as he learns firsthand the joys of running a podcast empire, thanks to Spanner's absence from the shed. Fortunately, Bradley Philpot provides able assistance and a keen driver's eye perspective as they dissect in detail the ins and outs of the gratifingly exciting Bahrain GP. Joining in the fun are Anil Parmar and ace comms man Alex Goldschmidt. As for Spanners, well his excuse for being away this time (both of the last two involved bits of his house being on fire) was that he was stuck in a bog in Cornwall with his entire family (and no, we didn't steal that from Top Gear, really happened). Nevertheless, he bravely joined the show anyway, risking the the wrath of a wireless connection along with the exceeding disapproval of his wife. Seriously... ;-)

Join Spanners and Trumpets as they entertain (and are entertained by) ace BBC F1 commentator Jack Nicholls. Listen as he waxes rhapsodical about the virtues of Jolyon Palmer, weighs which of his co-workers is potentially most terrifying (hint: Not Palmer) and gets very, VERY excited about American style football, Really. And when his internet unexpectedly cuts out, Stevens bravely jumps on and it’s all downhill from there, albeit in a fairly entertaining way

Join Spanners and Trumpets along with  Sparkles, Nick and Jeansy as they take a long hard look at the first GP of the year, then totally ignore reality and shout at each other.  Was Mercedes faster, is Bottas done, was Macca lucky, good or both? And what about RBR? Find out all that and more, as the panel explore the intricacies

Well, if you think nothing happened this weekend in F1 boy does Spanners think you’re wrong!! Joined by Trumpets, Sparkles, and ace Video editor Steve from Australia, the team rocks through the latest FIA defection, who’s already on the tech naughty list, and the fact that McLaren have a SPONSOR. Well, a HALO sponsor but still…. Somehow they manage to not forget there’s also a race and provide especially misguided predictions and once again manage to forget Comment of the Week!!

Spanners leads Trumpets, Sparkles, Jake Sanson and Nick Alexander on a look at testing followed by relentlessly unfounded speculation about how it will all shake out in Australia. Will Mercedes brutally dominate? Will Ferrari smoke out the opposition? Will McLaren continue to drop the car during pit stops? Will Sauber finish someplace other than a gravel trap, or possibly, the sea? Find out in this tantalizingly shouty, no holds barred, testing wrap and season preview!!!
