Missed Apex F1 Podcast

Spanners takes on the upcoming French GP with the able assistance of Trumpets, Sparkles and ace video editor Steve Amey who lashes the chat room into a semblance of order with his no nonsense Aussie accent. Is Bottas outperforming Hamilton, will Ferrari best Mercedes at the “new” Paul Ricard and will Sparkles ever clean his bookshelf are just some of the topics covered by the team. A fierce debate rages about the triple crown versus the WDC and the surprising reappearance of Martin Whitmarsh also gets a thorough thrashing in the show. Oh yeah, and Red Bull Honda….. Totes gonna be a thing!!!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Special guest Sean “VirtualStatman” Kelly rocks the shed with more numbers than Spanners and Trumpets can process in the review of the staggeringly average Canadian GP Review. Ace World Champion Beater and pro race driver Bradley Philpot completes the panel with his extensive insight and his umm unique perspectives. Learn what Sean REALLY puts on his insurance for career, discover what happens when Brad forgets to pick up his fiance at the station and find out what animal plagued Lewis Hamilton in qualifying (hint: it was not a groundhog, but may have smelled of BBQ)....Oh, and they talk about the race too!!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join Spanners, Trumpets, Sparkles and Sanson as they take a random walk (thanks Jake!) through the latest F1 news and Canada Previews.

Also, the panel discuss which team is being naughty vs being clever, whether Monaco needs blue shells and why exactly Hartley is ALWAYS at the top of the silly season rumours(Hint: look at his points compared to his teammate’s). Excitement is building for the big live recording later this summer, but predictably they fail to mention that, along with comment of the week…...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Monaco Grand Prix, boring or exciting? Why was Red Bull top dog this time, and is Max Verstappen running out of chances? Spanners is joined by Chris Stevens, Alex Vangeen, Alex Goldschmidt and Steve Amey to digest the action.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join Trumpets and Somers as they set off on a Spanners free wander through the intricate thicket of F1 tech.

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.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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!!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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... ;-)  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
