Oh, hello 2016 – didn’t see you there. The FF1S crew is back, bringing you completely uninformed debate and speculation about what this new Formula 1 season will hold. Cheeka, Phill and Terry run through the changes made in the off-season and make rash predictions on who will win what and why.
BONUS: Terry on Turbos (or: Terry teaches technicalities on turbos to technicians)
It’s the difficult solo project! While there’s no racing going on, Terry strikes out on his own and speaks in front of a bunch of science people about Formula 1. After failing to understand basic maths or what FIA stands for, he presents a detailed if not entirely accurate breakdown of modern F1 power units and how FF1S has undoubtedly moved the technology forwards. We’ll be back with more podcasts very soon as the countdown to the new season begins – so make sure you’re subscribed to get them fresh. Thanks to Dr Steve Cross & Dr Martin Austwick (both genuine doctors, unlike Terry) and all at Science Showoff. You can find out about their upcoming gigs at https://scienceshowoff.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/science-showoff-5-3-curated-by-dr-martin-austwick/

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: Rosberg, Renault and Rosewater
The end is nigh! The 2015 Formula 1 season ended with a bit of an anticlimax, but it sets up an intriguing winter break. Has Lewis Hamilton lost it? Has Rosberg found it? Will Maldonado crash into it? All these questions and more will be sort of answered by Cheeka, Phill and Terry in their look back at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

ARCHIVE: Monaco Grand Prix
It’s the Mexican Grand Prix! Well, actually no, it isn’t, because Terry forgot that his wife’s birthday was on the day we were going to record. I mean really: who puts his marriage before F1? Anyway, instead of a festival of sombrero jokes, we take a dip into the archives and present a PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED pilot show, recorded after this year’s Monaco Grand Prix. Join us for a saunter down memory lane, to a time before we knew what we were doing.

US Grand Prix: Capgate, Kimi vs Rolex & Formula E explained
Was Austin the greatest race of the year? The team thinks so, and rambles incoherently about Capgate, Kimi’s battle with a Rolex sign and whether Hamilton and Rosberg should have an actual, physical fight. Plus, Terry takes a look into the zany world of Formula E and we discuss whether having two different engine specs is a good idea for the sport.
