Another enforced break, another comeback and another Ferrari victory. We should be getting paid by the Scuderia to take more time off!

This week on the (yet another) return of the podcast we try to catch up on everything we’ve missse over the last month and a half and also fit a USA Grand Prix review in as well. Has the challenge from Lando Norris fizzled out as he ended up (his own words) “driving like a Muppet” on Sunday which ended up with a controversial penalty, although all the penalties and non-penalties this week were controversial. And does this mean Max is now on the front foot for the WDC fight this year?

When it comes to the constructor’s championship, that’s so far up in the air it’s practically in orbit and with a Ferrari 1-2 in Austin we could be in for a 3-way fight for it over the final 5 weekends of the season.

As said on the show, hopefully we’ll see you next week, seeing as we’re 1 race weekend in to the 1st of 2 triple header (maths!)

The post Episode 362 – Do We Only Pod When Ferrari Win? appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

First we’ll start with an apology for being more anonymous than your average Sauber for the last 2 months. We’ve had a few things to put up with, family stuff, Covid (again), day job stress, mental health problems and more But what a time to make a comeback!

This week on the podcast we look back at the Italian Grand Prix where once again McLaren seemed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and hand a win to the home team of Ferrari. At least RedBull have suddenly found themselves dropping down the pack with a massively unbalanced car that’s getting more expletives from Max than we heard from him in the Toro Rosso days!

There’s all the news as well (up to Monday anyway, thank you very much Adrian Newey) with Kimi Antonelli joining Mercedes, Nobody having a clue what’s going on with the RedBull/RB seats for next year and you can tell we’ve had a couple of months off as Alpine have got another new team principle

Advance warning, thanks to 3 of us being on holiday at the same time (not all together though, Kieren would never fit in a suitcase) we’ll be back in a couple of weeks and you never know, we might do that poolside podcast we were threatening last year!

Thanks again for bearing with us during the enforced break

The post Episode 361 – Papaya Rules KO appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Well Lewis Hamilton has finally won a race again for the first time since Jeddah 2021 and of course there were plenty of stats and new records broken so who better to discuss this week’s British Grand Prix with than VirtualStatman Sean Kelly.

This week on the podcast we veer off into our normal tangents about former drivers, along with Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch as Kieren regrets things he’s done in the past! There’s also our wrapup of one of the best British Grands Prix that we’ve seen in a long time.

Another one for fans of nostalgia and quizzes sees the one-off, we’re trying to make it more than that, return of “Who The Bloody Hell’s That Then” (Lee won’t let us call it by its old name unless he’s asking the questions)

All together a fun couple of hours!

The post Episode 360 – The Legend Of Xanadu appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Well that was an ending that we were and weren’t expecting all at the same time. Lando and Max going literally toe to toe over several laps at turn 3 at the RedBull Ring in this week’s Austrian Grand Prix. We thought it was going to end in tears and for both of them it did. For George Russell and Mercedes on the other hand (not to mention Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz) it was a pretty happy ending to the race for them. But where does that leave the Lando & Max friendship now?

This week on the podcast we look back at a race that is possibly going to have repercussions on the rest of this season and maybe even longer. This week leaves a ton of questions hanging in the air: Is Max going to carry on being as agressive? Is Lando going to start backing out of making moves, or will this push him to make more of them? Will this let Ferrari back into the constructor’s championship race if RedBull aren’t getting wins? And where the hell was Checo again (pt 6)

The post Episode 359 – Keith Flint’s Taxidermy Rabbit appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

We never thought we’d see the day again. No not a Mercedes on the podium, a broken Ferrari strategy or even a Max Verstappen win. But F1 actually allowing a race to start while it was raining and what a great call it was too!

This week on the podcast we look back at an action packed Canadian Grand Prix where normal service seemed to have been resumed at the front with our usual Sunday performance of the Dutch National Anthem, but this time round Max had to work for it and McLaren and Mercedes were there at the sharp end to make sure that he wasn’t able to head off into the sunset (rainset?) with everyone else trailing in his wake (tying to keep the puns to a minimum here)

There’s the usual team by team review of the race, which gives us chance to dump on the usual suspects (Logan Sargent, Ferrari) and if it had rained more we could have been covering Haas last! Along with the standard tangents and as it’s Canada there’s also a few things we don’t say (baby)

The post Episode 358 – Eau, Canada appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

All the action compressed into approximately 45 seconds, but spread out over almost 3 hours. That’s the best way to describe the Moncao Grand Prix this year.

This week on the podcast we try and make the parade on Sunday sound somewhere close to interesting when there were only 4 overtake, 7 pit stops by 6 drivers and a top 10 that finished in the same order that they started in.

Sounds great doesn’t it!

We’ve tried to make it interesting, but at least we’ve got Canada next up so hopefully things will be back to some kind of normal by then!

In better news, a good mate of ours, Josh Morris, is doing a 24 hour sim racing challenge on Weds 29th May at 7PM UK time in aid of CALM (Campaign against Living Miserably) as part of Race 2 Reach Out so please pop along to their Facebook page or our YouTube Channel to support and donate while he’s sitting in a racing rig for 24 hours straight!

The post Episode 357 – Beware Of Sunday Drivers appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

In the old days the Grand Prix at this circuit used to be known as the San Marino GP, now however we have to call it the “FORMULA 1 MSC CRUISES GRAN PREMIO DEL MADE IN ITALY E DELL’EMILIA-ROMAGNA” Basically we’re talking about this weekend’s race at Imola or the “Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari” to give it its proper name!

This week on the pod we look back a race that came alive in the last few laps and as is different for F1 over the last few years, there was actually a chase on for the win over them. Have we seen McLaren really show up as pretenders to RedBull’s crown after their recent total domination?

As always we go from the back to the front of the results and see who did what, who could have done better and did anyone give us any surprises?

Just don’t mention Sim Racing to Paul this week!

The post Episode 356 – Have We Got A Championship? appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Congratulations to Nick Heidfeld for re-taking the coveted spot as the F1 driver with the most podiums without a win, yep that means Lando isn’t on that list anymore as he’s FINALLY WON A GRAND PRIX (we might be a little bit happy for him)

This week on the pod we look back at a packed weekend of racing in Miami which saw Kevin Magnussen rack up penalties like they were Pokemon (think he did catch em all), Lando Norris go from punted out on lap 1, turn 1 of the sprint to the top step of the podium on Saturday and another previous guest and friend of the Podcast, Abbi Pulling, dominate the F1 Academy with 2 pole positions and 2 wins to extend her lead at the top of that series. Maybe being on 3Legs4Wheels can be good for your racing career?

Sorry that we’ve been away for a few weeks, but Paul and his mum would like to thank everyone that’s been in touch for all the kind thoughts and messages you’ve sent since his father sadly died last month.

On a happier note things are getting back to normal at 3Legs towers, so expect more from us this year!

The post Episode 355 – LANDOOOOOOOOOO appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

We’ve been talking about it for weeks and now it’s finally here. No not the first Sunday Grand Prix of the season (although that’s happening as well this weekend) but we have finally managed to get the author of Overtake My Heart, The Polesitter Always Rings Twice and Oh The Races You Will Throw, “Anita Driver” on the podcast!

After releasing 6 F1 books over the last few months Anita has caused a bit of a sensation in the world of motorsport and we’re pleased to welcome them along for a chat where we find out all about their influences and what motivates them to write about Racing in their unique style!

There’s also a bit of a preview of this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix and more tangents than normal, even by our tangential standards!

The post Episode 354 – Overtake My Polesitter appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

2024 starts just as 2023 finished with an utterly dominant win for the seemingly unstoppable Max Verstappen in the all conquering RedBull. But all is not sweetness and light behind the scenes at the Milton Keynes based team…

This week on the podcase we look back over the Bahrain Grand Prix which showed that you can’t always believe what you see in pre-season testing, aka the Winter Championship. And some teams might have done a little bit of bagsanding (it’s the opposite of sandbagging!)

Of course the Grand Prix wasn’t the only talking point of the weekend and we cast our collective eyes over the big changes at Alpine that have come very early in the season with 2 senior team members departing and a whole bunch of new Technical Directors moving in pretty soon afterwards. There’s also the allegation that’s come to light that the FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, personally intervened to remove a penalty from Fernando Alonso at last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

And seeing as everyone else is commenting on it we look at the timeline of the Christian Horner situation and try as hard as we can not to get sued!

Also this week sees the debut of Poetry Corner, but you’ll have to listen to the show to find out what we’re talking about here (but massive thanks to upcoming guest Anita Driver!)
