The Styrian Grand Prix promised much and delivered mostly boredom and a silly name. However, it was punctuated by Bottas spinning in the pitlane, so that was fun. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about Max Verstappen’s Hamilton-like win, worry that next week will be the same again, and also reveal Terry’s new tattoo, which may or may not be Philip Morris related.

Ladies, gentlemen, enby friends… The Baku. It happened again, a relatively tame raced turned completely chaotic with two tyre-blowouts, and a 2-lap sprint finish after Max Verstappen had a nailed on win detonate at his left rear.
It also gave us a stunning podium with Sebastian Vettel hitting the podium for the first time in Aston Martin’s history, and Pierre Gasly taking a damaged Alpha Tauri back to 3rd!
We also talk Catalunya, with Miguel Oliveira upsetting the apple cart with a brilliant win, with Fabio Quartararo stealing headlines with his leathers exploding in the middle of the race, with a chest protector thrown out. We weren’t best pleased. Enjoy the show!

Connor Jackson hosts a review of F1: French Grand Prix with Joshua Harrison alongside.
Everyone expected the French GP to be boring, and for all Terry knows, it was, because he didn’t watch it. But Cheeka and Phill did, and so they all conspire to blather on about how strategy trumps pace, how stripes give us headaches and how no one every f*cking listens to us. And perhaps justifiably so.
WARNING: This Podcast contains a discussion of death and a fatal accident. If you would like to skip this difficult conversation, skip to 23:00 for the discussion of the Indy 500 instead. Look after yourselves.
Obviously, a sombre edition of the show due to the tragic passing of Jason Dupasquier, a 19 year old Swiss rider in Moto3 who succumbed to his injuries last Sunday after a horrifying accident in Qualifying. We talk about the awfully sad weekend here and a Fabio win that played second fiddle in the top flight as the sport came to terms with the loss of one of their own.
We also talk the 105th running of the Indy500, as Helio Castroneves pulled off a Lap 199 pass on Alex Palou to make history as the 4th member of the four win club, in a tremendously exciting race, and what it meant for the sport in general.

Oh dear. Just when you thought Charles Leclerc was on for a famous home victory at Monaco, Ferrari refusing to check one side of the car after a Q3 hit, ultimately cost them a win, and maybe two cars on the podium. We break down a newsworthy Monaco GP, where Verstappen dominated, Bottas was nailed by a dodgy wheel nut gun, and Sebastian Vettel passed Lewis Hamilton on track. Seriously.
We also break down Indy 500 Qualifying as Scott Dixon captured his 4th pole position, the young guns of Herta and Veekay making the front row, and the shock and awe of two Penskes (Including Will friggin’ Power), having to make it in via Bump Day!
Oh, and the wonderful Zoeey Hamilton’s back as well!

Azerbaijan was a slow burner. After marshals ran out of red flags in qualifying, the race saw Charles Leclerc go backwards but then not much happened. Luckily, Pirelli intervened, and then all hell broke loose. And in the end, nothing changed in the championship. Cheeka, Phill and Terry drink a bit and talk about Verstappen and Stroll’s smashes, Hamilton’s magic dance and then get distracted by anything and everything.
