The Italian Grand Prix provided a deathly dull sprint race and then a much more exciting main event. Cheeka, Phill and Terry discuss this unexpected winners, completely expected crashes and whether they deserved penalties, and then talk about sex toys and which driver you’d want to sleep with. Business as usual, really.

Formula 1 was back in The Netherlands, and while the racing wasn’t all that special, the atmosphere absolutely jumped off the page. Even if it was a bit… flarey.
In this week’s episode, we talk about the strategic battle we had with Verstappen duelling both Mercedes, with a potential strategic error hampering the Brits chances despite sensational race pace. We also talk Pierre Gasly’s awesome 4th place and clobbering of the Big 2 teams fighting for 3rd in the constructors.
We also, have a deep dive into the nature of booing in Motorsport, why we think we’re above it compared to other sports, and whether it’s okay for it to happen.
Then, we tackle silly season as pretty much all the major dominos fell last week, with George Russell was finally announced at Mercedes, with Valtteri Bottas going to Alfa Romeo. And in a minor shock, the return of Alex Albon to Williams!
All that and more on Motorsport101!

Zandvoort promised much, and delivered pretty pictures, orange fog and racing boredom. But Verstappen won, so yay the Dutch GP? Cheeka, Phill and Terry ask where it all went wrong, reminisce about Cheeka’s wedding, and talk about the new driver deals, including a great speculation about Alex Albon going to Williams that we then cut because it’s out of date now. Unlucky.

Ross McIntyre has the full debrief of the 2021 F1 Dutch Grand Prix from Zandvoort Plus latest news and reaction on George Russell joining Mercedes and the massive news about AlphaTauri
Joshua Harrison is joined by Ross McIntyre looking at the current BTCC standings ahead of the next round and asking all the face meltingly hot questions.
It was the Belgian Grand Prix… That suddenly wasn’t. In Episode 320, we talk the Belgian 2-lap GP washout, whether Race Direction was in the right about how they went about it, Michael Masi’s role as Race Director, and the curious case of Eau Rouge. The weekend was a highly emotional one with a nasty wreck in the W Series, and Lando Norris in qualifying, and Radillion’s barrier being moved was a massive discussion point.
We also talk MotoGP’s British GP as Fabio Quartararo might have ended the title fight with his 5th win of the year, with the Espargaro brothers making history at the front (briefly), Marquez’s red-mist descending with Jorge Martin, and 6 manufacturers in the Top 6 for the first time since 1972!
And finally we wrap up with the news of Kimi Raikkonen announcing his retirement, and the heavy rumours Valtteri Bottas is heading over to replace him, with potentially Nyck De Vries and Alex Albon heading to Williams? Interesting.
All that in a loaded 75 minutes! Enjoy!

The Belgian Grand Prix… wasn’t. Phill and Terry get together to lambast the F1 idiocy that left thousands of people getting wet on a Belgian hill with no chance of a refund. They also wait for Cheeka to turn up and try and avoid a repeat of what reviews called “the worst episode ever”. Did they succeed? You decide. Please.

7 really IS the lucky number after all! At the Le Mans 24 hours, it was Toyota who won the day with a 1-2 finish, but it wasn’t without early Glickenahus drama, and an Alpine in the gravel trap! We also had Ferrari taking the GT’s and a heartbreaking finish for the #41 car in LMP2!
We also talk IndyCar as Gateway, as Josef Newgarden won to re-enter the title race, and Rinus Veekay caused a big problem for the Chip Ganassi gang! We also talk Romain Grosjean’s oval debut, and talk about the passing of the great Robin Miller.
