You think Johnny Herbert is still on Fernando’s Christmas Card list? In this episode of Motorsport101, focused mostly on SO MUCH OF BAHRAIN:
– Nico Rosberg won, Lewis Hamilton gets torpedo’d by Val Bottas and Vettel blows up on the line. Amazingly, the race was still good.
– Has public opinion already turned on Haas? We talk the cynicism behind Grosjean’s 5th place finish.
– We talk Stoffel Vandoorne’s awesome points scoring debut, the nature of Alonso being dropped and THAT conversation with Johnny Herbert.
– We break down some of Bahrain’s TV ratings and early thoughts on C4’s coverage so far.
– We talk Hamilton getting caught with a shisha pipe, and ask if he’s getting a bad rap from the media.
– We also talk about the 2nd coming of Elimination Qualifying as well as the GPDA’s more shady behaviour. Politics are fun guize.
Also, we talk IndyCar’s Phoenix GP, and why it didn’t really work on paper despite the race being relatively entertaining, as well as the new blood feud between Graham Rahal and Max Chilton, and why we think Rahal was a tad hypocritical, despite it not being his fault.
Hope you enjoy the show, and we’ll catch up with MotoGP and Formula E on next week’s episode!

We’re back! After a prolonged absence, which we find is the best kind, Front End Chatter returns with post-Argentina MotoGP gossip – and, let’s face it, it had the lot: tyres, crashes, more tyres, boo-ing, early silly season, and some highly ill-informed nonsense about reverse-spinning cranks. Plus, Martin (him) and Simon (me) natter about some new bikes we’ve ridden, and where you can read about them. Ish. Thanks for listening, and thanks for remembering we exist. The next episode will be along shortly. x

John Surtees has a lot of fans. That much is clear from how many questions and good wishes were submitted when we announced we were recording a podcast with him.
He’s also amazingly sprightly and his memory is far better than mine. At the end of the podcast below I fired a completely random question to him about racing around the streets of Madrid in the late 1950s and within a matter of seconds he was into a story about the crowds and Francisco Franco sitting in a dangerous place. Astonishing.
We talk through the 2016 Motor Sport Hall of Fame shortlist (below) and John gives his view on who he’d like to see victorious in each category. What’s more, we take as many questions as possible.
The shortlist, as voted for by you, is: Formula 1 – Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth, Gilles Villeneuve, Professor Sid Watkins, Sports cars – Derek Bell, Brian Redman, Pedro Rodríguez, Motorcycling – Joey Dunlop, Mike Hailwood, Valentino Rossi, Rallying – Richard Burns, Sébastien Loeb, Hannu Mikkola, US racing – Dan Gurney, AJ Foyt, Roger Penske.
Here’s what Il Grande John had to say…

Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on round two of the 2016 F1 World Championship. It’s a dictatorship with a very dubious human rights record, but enough about FOM – let’s instead look at the Bahrain Grand Prix. More shonky qualifying! First corner collisions! Sand! Yay!
