Missed Apex F1 Podcast

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

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

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

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

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

Ex F1 Boss Matthew Carter joins Spanners and Trumpets for another walk on the wild side of F1. They discuss what teams REALLY focus on in testing, whether glory laps are real and what chances the teams realistically have this season, in brutal, but entertaining terms. Also, Carter spills the beans as to the REAL cause of Renault engine woes at the start of the hybrid era and dissects the reasons why certain teams run far less than others in testing (Hint: It’s not always the PU, sometimes it’s a word that rhymes with money).  Finally, F1 TV, new race locations, and naturally the eponymous Carter directive somehow manage to make our docket, as if we weren’t busy enough!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join Spanners, Trumpets and Sparkles as they embark on an epic journey through the car launches led by the brummy voice of SomersF1. Find out who’s on their naughty and nice list and exactly how long they think they could get away with talking about anything if they put a picture of the back end of the Sauber Alfa up on the screen. Or should it be SAlfa…..?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With Spanners back in the saddle, no topic is safe and this week he leads Trumpets and Sparkles on a whirlwind tour of car launches and teammate battles as the plucky trio gets back to business. Who had the best chassis and pay-drivers dominate the shout past each other portion of the show and there is a moment of silence for Spanner’s memory, as he momentarily failed to recall which team Magnussen drove for (thank goodness THAT wasn’t on the quiz episode)...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join Trumpets as SomersF1 leads him on a merry journey into the deepest, darkest corners of the 2018 season's technical regulations. Ever wonder what breather fluid is? Bet you do now, and happily enough, Somers obliges by explaining all. Charge cooling, Halo, and the truly diabolical sting in the tail of the 3 PU season limit are just some of the answers that await all those brave enough to ride!! Must be 1.1 Spanners to enter....  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Missed Apex goes chill for this laid back episode. Spanners is joined by Chris Stevens, Ryan Ferris and Nick Alexander to answer the questions of quiz master Catman and those from our audience.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Spanners and Trumpets get a tour of the paddock led by none other than Fake Charlie Whiting (Mark McArdle). From Race Control to the Medical Car, to inadvertently whacking Michael Schumacher, Mark gives a behind the scenes look to the starry eyed duo, as well as the benefit of his opinions on a variety of current F1 subjects. And Spanners completely spanked Stevens in karting (Spanners totally didn’t write this sentence).  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After an extended vacation, a brand new year sees Spanners, with Trumpets and Sparkles, immediately gets down to business by being told he is wrong about the career of Kubica. Wasting no time, he then schools Sparkles over pay drivers and in a fit of kitchen sinkism, they then discuss some interviews with the likes of Chase Carey and Paddy Lowe, before actually remembering Comment of the Week.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
