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!)

Don’t forget to see how you did in our prediction league this weekend, and put in your predictions for Suadi Arabia on Saturday (yep it’s another race a day early) in the games section and you can also join in with us all season on Discord too, along with Facebook & Twitter and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel

The post Episode 353 – Lights Out And Away He Went appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Testing is done and the next time we see the cars on track will be on Thursday (surely some mistake?) for the 1st practice session of the 2024 F1 season. Seeing as there’s only 4 of us to fill the time this week, we’ve picked up where we left off in last week’s mega show and we’re going through what we think we’re going to see this season, a few bold predictions and many many tangents.   As always at the start of the season, there’s the admin to get out of the way. There’s the Prediction League and The Fantasy League too so loads of chances to get predicting.   All the recording hardware is sorted (except for that 1 last pesky mic cable which you’ll hear at a few points) so we’re all set up for the new season and we’ll do everything we can to be around a lot more this year!   For all the extra chat and stuff we’re still there on Discord, along with Facebook & Twitter and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel and if you want the return of the extra (Neckstra?) show then you can still sign up for our Patreon from £/$/€1 a month and find out what we’re talking about!   Enjoy https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/https://3legs4wheels.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/F1Pod352.mp3 As always, you can listen here or on iTunes Amazon and most other podcast apps too along with Spotify, Acast and TuneIn Radio on your smart speakers.

The post Episode 352 – Thumpering A Litter Tray appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

What better way to kick the 2024 F1 season off than getting together with friends to talk all things F1 and all other things as well? In our usual form we managed to squeeze some F1 content in between the tangents with our friends from the Everything F1 Podcast And what a great bunch they are too,

So in what’s become our biggest show yet the 9, yes NINE, of us talk about the upcoming season after we’ve seen all the car launches, who looks good, who’s bluffing and will Haas be a let down again. Along with multiple tangents and a few new sound effects thanks to Kieren’s new toy/gadget (jury is still out)

Hope you enjoy a different kind of show from us this week and if you like what you hear, then you can find the Everything F1 Podcast on all the usual podcast platforms where you find our show.

The post Episode 351 – The Big TeamUp (3L4WEF1 Not VCRABS) appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Or does it? Well we’ve had a couple of weeks of late off-season madness haven’t we. Andretti getting their bid to join the grid rejected, Guenther leaving Haas, the possible return of Sepang, rumours of a new street race in Chicago on the NASCAR/iRacing circuit and the slight matter of Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the 2024 season!

There was no way we couldn’t come back after all this as we’ve got tons to talk about, sadly however we had more technical gremlins so the sound quality might not be as good as usual, but we hope everything we’ve got to say more than makes up for it!

So this week on the pod we try to unpick all the big F1 news that’s gone on over the last few weeks during a time where traditionally nothing normally happens except car launches! And we hereby kick off the 2024 silly season before any of this year’s cars have even seen a track. Of course it wouldn’t be complete without our usual tangents and we’ve got them in spades (and plenty of other gardening implements too)

Hopefully we’ve put all the problems behind us now and we can actually get a full season in this year and make up for our slightly patchy schedule over the last couple of years.

One extra thing on this week’s show is that we’ve given our closing theme tune over to the new single from a Brighton based band called Guilty and The Dead, the song’s called Good Sailors and for anyone that’s a fan of classic rock, it’ll be right up your street!

The post Episode 350 – Nothing Happens Before Testing appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

22 Races and 21 wins along with another 5 sprint wins for good measure. You could say that this has been Red Bull’s season right from the start, with just a blip in Singapore stopping them from a complete clean sweep? You could say that but lets face it, it’s Max Verstappen that has done the majority of the heavy lifting for the team this year. So much so that he actually scored more points on his own than any other team managed with 2 drivers!

So this week on the podcast we look back at the season ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which once again was a bit of a parade, but a lot of a celebration as the 2023 F1 season drew to a close in the now traditional way of a day to night race in the desert, just for once we had all 20 runners classified as finishing, even though Ferrari had possibly the strangest strategy going for Carlos (but would it be a real race if Ferrari don’t confuse everyone, including their drivers, at least once a race?)

There’s more tangents than most other F1 shows as well as we go down some strange rabbit holes and there’s also the reappearance of an old “friend” in there too!

The post Episode 349 – Abu Dhabi Doooooo appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

17 wins in a season with 2 races still to go, what more can you say about Max Verstappen’s out and out dominance in 2023 that hasn’t already been said? He chalked up the record (along with his 4th sprint win of the season too) at Sao Paolo at the weekend in what used to the called the Brazilian Grand Prix, but is now the Sao Paolo GP instead

This week on the podcast we take a look back at the weekend, one that Toto Wolff has described as one of Mercedes’ worst weekends in their entire time in F1 (Spain 2016 has entered the chat) and once again Alfa Romeo were utterly Saubernonymous. There’s a look at the new as well as get towards the twilight of the 2023 season. with Haas trying to get the results of the USGP from over 2 weeks ago changed with new evidence about track limits (between recording and releasing this their appeal has been thrown out for a lack of new evidence.) And all the tangents you’d expect

The post Episode 348 – We Are Running Out Of Superlatives appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

Was Sergio Perez ever in with a chance at winning his home race this year after saying he was fed up of “just” being on the podium? Well you might not be able to win a race on turn 1, but you can certainly lose one.

This week on the podcast we look back at a surprisingly incident packed Mexico City Grand Prix where Max Verstappen took the outright record for the number of wins in a single season and came one step closer to winning the Constructor’s Championship for RedBull effectively on his own. As per usual we go from the back of the pack (Aston Martin we’re looking at you here) to the front (no surprises who’s there), a bit like Lando Norris after a bad restart if you think about it,

Also tacked on at the end of the show this week is a special preview of our Patreon only show where we take a deep dive into Overtake My Heart, an “adult” novel about Daniel Ricciardo (no we’re not joking!) If you want to hear more, then sign up to our PPatreon from £/$/€1 a month

The post Episode 347 – We Thought We Could Win Too appeared first on 3Legs4Wheels.

When the stewards announce disqualifications after the race again. This time round though it was for worn planks and skid blocks instead of track limits, so I guess that makes a change!

This week on the podcast we look back at the US Grand Prix (the 2nd US Race out of 3, but the only one called the USGP, following?) where, due to the sprint format, teams only had 1 practice session on Friday morning to actually get their cars ready for 2 races. While some teams went cautious when setting up for the bumpy Austin circuit, others tried to push things to the limit and in the case of Mercedes and Ferrari, they may have taken it a little too far.

There’s the usual team by team review and because we haven’t spoken to each other for a couple of weeks then there’s probably more tangents than there should be in an F1 show!

Also this week there’s a couple of people to thank. This week’s cover photo was taken at the track by “Harrsion” and posted to our Discord chat mid-race and made us all jealous! Also we’ve got another different closing theme tune again. This week’s track is called Fragile by a good friend of all of ours Steve “Noshie” Nash and all proceeds from the sale of this song go to the charity Hospice Isle Of Man. You can buy the track for £2 from https://stevenashsmallbear.bandcamp.com/track/fragile
