Beyond The Racing Line - Formula 1 Podcast

Red flags, Red Cars on pole, Red faces and a podium of RedBulls and their rejects, Baku was painted Red but it was the man in green who stole our hears. Yes we are back in the city of Azerbaijan for Baku. It was a weekend to remember for some and forget for others. Verstappen was denied a deserved win and just when it looked like Hamilton would have the cards fall his way a little touch of magic was all that was needed and in the end we hold our championship steady. But the big question is debris or not debris? Perez came of age. He tweeted it would take 5 races to get the Redbull under control and on outing 6 he won! Has he closed the door on Albon? The McLaren's promised big things but didn't deliver? Is the hype real or have they been humbled? Bottas was nowhere. He isn't agreeing with the Merc but is he being delt a bad hand or is he just not delivering? Watch the socials for a big Bottas discussion. As always its Race Review, Race Rankings, Dud of the Day, Beyond the Bet, Fantasy, Fan Questions and much much more. All that o. This week's episode of BTLR. Don't forget to head over to DRAuto Art and check out Chris and his amazing Formula 1 Art.

Monaco, glitz and glamour but not everyone's cup of tea. After a 2 year hiatus we return to the principality. It was destined to be a sea if red but heartbreak for the Tifosi as Leclerc hit the wall and it was Verstappens for the taking. When it goes wrong at Mercedes it goes wrong. Is there a more unlucky driver than Bottas? And what about Lewis, left in no man's land, will Monaco play a part in the title decider? We look at the knock-on effect this may have. Lando is doing Lando things and wow isn't he performing, a Gasly year if ever there was one. But Dan is in no man's land, if you were in his shoes what would you do to turn the season around? Seb has a handle on the Aston. Is it a sign of things to come? We unpack where to for the former champion. All that plus, Race Review, Race Ranking, Dud of The Day, Fantasy, Beyond the Bet, News, Gossip and the one we have all been waiting for Formula 1.5 has returned for 2021. All that plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

The Spanish GP has been run and won. There is no doubt Verstappen and Hamilton are on another level, but it was the 7 time champion with a bold strategy who took the chocolates. Is it advantage Lewis? Hard to say no when he has clocked 100 poles and on the cusp of 100 wins.

Portugal. The roller coaster, the undulations, the blind crests yes the buzz words we all heard this weekend. It has been run and won and it was a 15th Hamilton, Verstappen, Bottas podium. We know the title at this stage is between 2 but Valtteri and Perez reminded us that they will have a say. There have already been championship moments but which will come back to bite? The Alpine made huge gains this weekend and we saw some glimpse of the Fernando of old but will they be midfield bound or sit on the outskirts. Sprint races have been all the rage and it has fans divided, is this a money grab, is this a reach to the next generation of fans or exactly what F1 needs? As always we have a full race review, race ranking, Dud of the Day, Beyond the Bet, Fantasy, news and gossip and tune in for a sensational opening question from Sam. All that plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

2 from 2 and the 2021 Season has delivered. The battle lines have even drawn and we have 2 contenders. The master and the apprentice look to be the ones to beat, but can their offsiders get in on the action. It's a long season and time will tell. This week we unpack the rivalries of the season so far. Bottas Vs Russell and the battle for the Merc seat, is it on or has George just taken a backward step? Is Bottas safe? All that plus much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

The fuse has been lit on 2021 and wow didn't it deliver. Bahrain has staked it's claim for season opener with a belter. But with so much hype came the result of Hamilton, Verstappen, Bottas. But it felt different this time. In fact one more and it become the most recorded 3,2,1 result in F1 history. This week we look at a full race review. We learnt that Bulls are serious contenders but the Mercs are not going anywhere fast. The Ferrari looks good but is it the title contender of days past or are they simply making up lost ground. McLaren are an enigma, 3rd place or title fighter? Drivers had new homes and there were some stand outs, however all those that moved homes were beaten, how quickly can they come up to speed? And who has the biggest fight on their hands? All that plus Race Ranking, Dud of The Day, Fantasy F1, Beyond the Bet, Fan Questions and some News and Gossip. Sit back and enjoy one mighty entertaining episode of BTRL.

IT'S RACE WEEK AND ITS PODCAST WEEK. This week we are joined by special guest Anthony Durkin of the F1AE stepping in to help Roge and J gear up for round 1. We look this week at the head to head driver battles, much has been said about the moves made in 2020 and with new team mates comes new challenges. Who will come out on top? The crystal ball is out as we predict the running order. Who got it right? Who is a mile off?

It's testing time and that's where we kick off. We dive into technical innovations and unpack who is doing what. The token system has already begun playing a part of development and we can begin to get a sense of what direction teams will take. The winners and losers of the 3 day test, who's ahead, who's in trouble and where might each team be in the pecking order. Liveries are the most exciting part of a new year without a doubt. We run our artistic eye over each team and critique them. Do you agree or disagree with our findings? And last of all a bit if news and gossip to get you fired up for another year. So join us as we get ready, share the pod around and come along for the ride in 2021.

THE BOYS ARE BACK FOR 2021... With pre season slowly beginning to wind up we just couldn't wait to sink our teeth into all things F1. In a very special opening episode we dive into a bit of news to wet your appetite for the season ahead.

In a season like no other we have risen to the challenge and produced a review like no other. Yes the boys are back with their wrap up of 2020. Team reviews, driver reviews, who impressed and who failed. We rank the year and unpack those memorable and not so memorable moments. The BTRL awards make an appearance with driver of the tear, team of the year, F1.5 Champion, and of course Dud of the year. Fantasy was a huge success and we announce our podium and prize winners and we make some way too early predictions for the season ahead. So put your feet up, gather the family and tune in for the biggest podcast of the year. All that and more on the season wrap up on BTRL.

IT'S THE SECOND FINAL EPISODE OF 2020. This week we have treated our beloved BTRL fans with a mini ep full of all that podcasty goodness you have come to know and love. Abu Dhabi was not spectacular, it was not a race for the ages and it was not what we have come to expect in 2020. In short Max was on pole, Max drove fast, Max won. But don't worry we still have a full race review, race rankings, beyond the bet, dud of the day, fantasy and much more. BUT.....keep your eyes glued to the socials as we look for your say on the moments that shaped 2020 and we gear up for our END OF SEASON REVIEW NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT! All that and more this week on BTRL.

The road to Abu Dhabi us upon us. 2020 is about to close but not before one last twist. It was Russell in the Mercedes. The stage was set the win was there but an un Mercedes like pitstop it all went horribly wrong. But would a win stain the Hamilton record? Will George officially be the future of Mercedes and has Bottas become uncomfortable in his seat? We left with more questions than answers. It was 190th time lucky as the man without a seat took his win. 2020 continues to deliver. Is there one more twist in the tail?

2020. It's a year we will never forget and Bahrain will be the moment that stays with fans for a long long-time. This weekend racing took a back seat, people came first, lives were at stake and we invested every ounce of ourselves into those who give and give to the sport we love so dearly. This week we reflect upon Bahrain. We talk about the Grosjean accident and the progress F1 has made, where too next and what will become of this? The champ is down and out. Hamilton has returned a positive COVID test and the Merc seat once again becomes the golden chalis. But who takes it? Is this the moment super sub Hulk finally takes the podium? Or does a Russell get a taste of the future. All that plus news, (and there is a lot) race review, race ranking, Formula 1.5, Dud of the Day, Fantasy, Beyond the bet and much much more. This week on BTRL.

The surface was slick the engines fired and we slid into the weekend. Yes we are back and its the Turkish GP. We witnessed history as Hamilton matched Schumacher's title record. Will he stick around for an 8th? Will this feat ever be matched? One thing is for sure, whether you love him or hate him, you can deny his prowess. The Redbull were left red faced on what might have been. Stroll silenced the critics on Saturday but let them raise their voices on the Sunday. But it wasn't all doom and gloom as Vettel pulled off his drive of the year and the Ferrari boys gave the Tifosi something to cheer about. The argument for retro tracks is growing louder. Is it time to take this seriously? A race track is a race track for a reason. As always race rankings, race review, Formula 1.5, dud of the day, fantasy, beyond the bet, news and much much more. Including the return of J. Sit back relax and soak up this weeks ep of BTRL.

A return to Imola, a return to the old days gone of F1, the retro love for the sport units fans once again. Records are tumbling all around us as Mercedes put their stamp on a claim for the the greatest team of all time as they secure 7 titles in a row. Are they the greatest team of all time? It was a tale of 2 halves at Imola and we finished on the right note. However it wasn't the moves that came off the we were in awe of it was the glaring mistakes. Albon, Stroll, Racing Point and Russell were all left red faced. But it was Ricciardo, Kvyat and the Alfa boys who gained. Who was the biggest winner and loser of the weekends. The seats are closing on the driver market but there are drivers being left in the woods. We have another go at placing those fast and no doubt furious. As always race review, driver rankings, dud of the day, Formula 1.5 has lit up the socials once again, beyond the bet, fantasy news and gossip. All that plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

92. Yes its the Portuguese GP weekend. This week we lay homage to Lewis, a record broken, a career that will stand the test of time. The question now remains what's the end score? Portugal reminded us again why retro tracks are the real deal and if F1 are paying attention its time to get them back. We saw a lap one that rivalled some of the greats as Kimi showed us what he does best, Sainz let out of the block and left the big 3 flailing, but true to form talent beat out and we finished HAM, BOT, VER. Tyres and surface were the talking point of the weekend as too was lack of knowledge, have we seen the birth of the 2 day race weekend. Imola will be the defining weekend. Driver market rumours are in full swing and we revisit our favourite past time playing music chairs, how did we do? What are your predictions? And as always we load up with your favourite BTRL segments, race review, driver rankings, dud of the day, beyond the bet, fantasy, the global phenomenon that is Formula 1.5 and don't miss our chat about the F1 app, have we witnessed Js troubles first hand with his arch nemesis. All that on this week's episode of BTRL.

The weekend has come to a finish as we returned to the Eifel Mountains and graced the tarmac of Germany. And for the first time in 2020 we left with nothing but good vibes. The fairy tale stories were in abundance and it was hard to pick a definitive one, but on this week's episode we will do our best. Was it Hamilton's 91st win and record equaling achievement. We never though in our wildest dreams that Schumacher's records would be touched but we are in an age of history right now. Is it right to compare the two or sit back and enjoy? Raikkonen became the most experienced driver in F1 history as he surpassed the mighty Barrichello. And as cool as ever the ice man did it in his own unique style. Riccardo stepped up and broke Renault's 10 year podium drought, but we were Shoeyless and left wanting more from the Honey Badger. With hindsight on our side has he made the right call to jump ship at Renault? And it was Hulkenback 3.0. The man now dubbed the super sub drove 6 mins of preparation, qualified last and drove like there was no tomorrow finishing inside the top 10. Is he primed for a return? We think so! All that plus race rankings, full race review, Dud of the Day, Beyond the Bet, Fantasy, Formula 1.5 standings, Fan Questions and much much more. Settle in, its going to be a good one this week on BTRL.

The Sochi Scrap. No not the latest viral Tiktok trend, it's race week and we were treated with a slightly off dessert that you kinda want to eat but know you shouldn't, but do anyway. Sochi delivered a feisty yet scrappy race that left fans wanting a little bit more. Bottas got it done in the most unusual of ways while Lewis must wait another week to tie the all time wins record. It's mid year and what better way to celebrate than a special mid year report card. We grade the field on their season so far and there are a few surprises, have a go and let us know, we're we on the money? We take a look at some news this week as Chase Steph's back, Toto teases his past interest and the Ferrari dream team is officially reunited. Perez has a seat but where? And the return of Alonso as Renault fans get sentimental. All that plus race rankings, dud of the day, beyond the bet, fantasy Formula 1.5 and much much more on a special edition of BTRL.

Red flags, red cars and red tempers were the order of the weekend as Mugello took charge. If we needed a reminder of how amazing Formula 1 can be then these past two weekends have delivered in spades. It was business as usual the front but all eyes were on the midfield. Carnage, carnage and more carnage as those scrapping for points ended up having them handed to them on a plate. Bottas brought a new attitude to the weekend but as always the cards fell to the wrong side. If the championship wasn't already over then it is now, Hamilton can do no wrong. The Bulls set themselves for an Italian charge but Verstappen was left seeing red in the prancing horses 1000th gallop as he failed to fire a shot. The age old question of track design has reared its head and we again ask, is it time to revisit the old school tracks? There's no denying they are icons for a reason. As always race reviews, race rankings, dud if the day, Formula 1.5, beyond the bet, fantasy and much much more including a teaser to a new segment "WHAT ARE THE ODDS", we think J is going to take Beyond the Bet into the global market shortly. All here on this weeks episode of BTRL

FORZA ITALIA! If Germany was the race of the decade then Monza was the race of the century and by all accounts you'd be hard pressed to go past Gasly as the driver of the year. It's a jam packed episode, race review, driver rankings, dud of the day, fantasy, news, beyond the bet, fan questions, Mugello preview, recommendations and not a single red flag to slow us down! So with that said we won't bore you with a write up, grab you headphones treat yourself to some ear candy and settle in for the podcast of the year, (well our podcast of the year anyway) of the Italian GP. Another week here at BTRL!

Its the Belgian GP and we were greeted with a race we all didn't expect. 2020 has delivered many challenges but right now F1 is crying out for a challenger! The season is locked in but is it already over? This week we dive i to the championship and talk where to next? With Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen seemingly glued to the podium where will our knight in shining armour come from? Enter Danny Ric. Yes the Honey Badger was back to his rapid best and if form is anything go by the Renault is threatening to bust a podium wide open, all we need is a bit of luck. McLaren had none this week as Sainz failed to make it to the grid with exhaust failure. Surely nothing when compared to the sheer obliteration of his future team. How has it gone so wrong at Ferrari. The window looks closed for Racing Point but it looks to be widening for the man of the hour Gasly. We discuss what is going so right for him at the moment, is a return to Rebull on the cards? J is back with Beyond the Bet as it trends upwards on the internet and the social media's. We talk all things news, race ranking, dud of the day, fantasy and much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

The Spanish flu hit F1 fans hard as they struggled through the weekend but don't worry as the BTRL boys have the vaccination ready at hand. Yes it was the Spanish GP, or as some titled it...zzz. Surprisingly there's a lot to talk about this week. We kick off as always with the race review and race rankings. Hamilton is untouchable at the moment and questions are now being asked is the season over? The podium is reserved for the same 3 but not even Verstappen and Bottas can get near him, a 7th title is surely in the bag. The midfield teams has a mixed weekend. Renault faltered, Mclaren held station but it was the Alpha boys and in particular Gasly who stepped up with a jaw dropping 5th in Q2. The Racing Points looked to let another podium slip after early pace, it will only be a matter of time before Leclerc gets that Ferrari firing, we discuss is the windows now closed. Party mode is about to go as of next race. Is the F1 hunting the Mercs? Will that have any effect on the running order? Time will tell. J is absent this week and so is Beyond the Bet, the fastest trending podcast segment world wide, however never fear as we have stepped up to bring a brand new segment.....STATS AMAZING! Let us know what you think. Lastly as always news, fantasy, and recommendations. All that plus just a little more on this week's ep of BTRL.

Happy 70th and although we are nowhere near 70 yrs of age we still enjoyed the party that F1 threw this week. Our opening question was a belter this week, alternate race endings. Tyres tyres and more tyres, the Pirellie team took us back a compound but were we blanketed with the rubber all weekend or is that what we need more of in the future. Race review is jam packed this week and every team played a part in Sundays action but who was our team of the weekend and who had a shocker? Race rankings and dud of the day, some unexpected results here, did we get it right? Do yourself a favour and google Hannah Schmitz, the unexpected hero of Sunday. The Hulk returns and he took us back to the twilight if his career, is he now at the front of the cue for a 2021 race seat? We think yes but where does he go? Could we see a Perez, Hulk Haas pairing? News is in and man is it big, Racing Point penalised, teams appeal, Toto is rattled, Lawrence is fired up and this one is going to go right to the bell, we unpack "Ductgate". Legal or not? What about Kimi, the once mighty world champion has fallen, 1 yr too long? Is this the final chapter in the iceman tale? Along with this all your favourite segments are back, beyond the bet, fantasy, recommendations and much much more. All that on this week's episode of BTRL.

It's race week or if your the social media team at Ferrari it's Rawe Ceek! And it's the heart of British motor sport, the mighty Silverstone. If you went to bed prior to lap 51 then spoiler alert it was an epic finish! Hamilton dragging his Merc across the line in dramatic fashion, one that will go down as one of the most memorable finishes to a GP. And for Bottas our hearts collectively broke. This week we look at the what if's...what if Perez was fit to race, what if Hulkenberg took the grid, what if Stroll kept up his FP2 pace, what if Max had not pitted and what if Js Beyond the Bet got up? It was a war of attrition and could have ended in more than one way. We unpack race reviews, race rankings, dud of the day, beyond the bet, news fan questions and much much more on this jam packed episode of BTRL.

Welcome back to another week of racing and another episode of BTRL. This week its the Hungarian GP. It was a race of sorts and a race of nothingness. This week we look at the race from a team by team perspective, who were the major winners, lovers and surprise packets of the weekend. The Racing Points are under heavy investigation. Will they be found guilty or innocent, what are your thoughts on the "Trace Gate" hear our opinions as we weigh in on the decision of the season. And what about their wheelmen, is one on the way out? Did Perez throw another podium? Has isolation drawn 3 seconds of talent out of Lance? The stewards are under fire again this week from the boys, a bad call on Bottas? Maybe? A terrible call on the Haas? Definitely, and Rebull, were they lucky to escape an alleged box dry? Hmmm. How have you seen the stewards form so far? And your #1 and #2 favourite segments, in that order, its dud of the day and Beyond the bet! Did J make it 3 from 3? No, no he didn't! Hear the fallout. All that plus fantasy, news is up, gossip as always, the driver market merry-go-round featuring Seb and much much more. All that on this week ep of BTRL.

Back to back and back into the swing of it. The first double header has been run and win and it was Lewis Hamilton who rose from the ashes of 4th to bounce back in a wet weather master-class. This week we kick off the ep by unpacking qualifying, the rain came down and we almost didn't get going. Was the right call made? Is it time for a review of the wet tyre or the format? Our race review dives into the hero of Norris and the zero of Ferrari, we didn't see this season from either, but who's made the bigger impression? The stewards are in the gun this week as our lead man takes aim at the lack of calls but what is a racing incident and what is not? 3,2,1 Votes get dropped and our dud of the day votes are back. It's round 2 of Beyond the Bet and we are 2 from 2, J is under more pressure than Seb this week to deliver. Fantasy rankings are in, where are we at who's in the position to take home the prizes. Racing Point has been protested against and wow did this one have us fired up. What do you make of the Pink Arrow? Is it legal or illegal? News previews and the recommendations for this week. All that and much more on BTRL.

And wow what a mega ep we have this week, set aside plenty of time because we have a lot to cover. This week F1 returns and in spectacular fashion. If anyone picked that result then please give us a call, we are keen for this weeks lotto numbers. We return with race rundown, who finished where and what implications does this have on week one of the championship. New COVID protocols were in place, did that add or take from the race experience, we would love to know your thoughts? What changed for you?

Its podcast night and we are back and we don't mean waiting to come back or getting ready to come back we are back OFFICIALLY BACK! So its back to race reviews, its back to predictions, its back to weekend previews, its back to fantasy, back to beyond the bet and back to loving life with F1 in it! Pull up a chair, grab your best headphones sit back and relax as we get ready to go racing!

We are back, the countdown continues as we dip under the 20 day mark, and J's back on deck as 2 become 3 again! This week we unpack the future calendar, with Singapore and Japan now off the cards we turn our attention to future tracks, with Mugello or Imola get a run? Podiums are set to look very different so we thought we take our spin on what these should look like. Aston Martin have dominated the constructor landscape, Toto is invested, but who takes the seats, is this Vettels foot in the door of a Merc? Does Alonso link in as part of his future WEC project, we have a crack at our dream team scenario. And are we set to see a new rich kid on the block, Latifi and Mazapin are rumoured to make a play for the majority stake, what does this mean for Russell and Latifi? And we wrap up this week with our recommendations, Beyond the Bet makes a return and much much more on this week's ep of BTRL.

Yes it's been a long few months as we have waited, and waited and waited to find out when the lights will officially go out for season 2020. And although we still need to wait a little bit longer we can rest easier knowing we kick off very soon. This week we chat calendar, what can we expect from the double header? Are you for or against reverse grids? Who takes the lead of the championship after 8 rds. Is Max in the box seat? Team news and we focus on Williams the sale of minority, majority or full. Is the nail finally in the coffin? We think so. Cost capping and are rules are what they have cried out for, they may not be around to see it. And on top of this we get a little political, talked reports, bit of driver merry go round and much much more. All that on this week's ep of BTRL.

This week the boys review what went down last weekend in one of the most manic seat swaps in recent history as Vettel pulled the trigger. Who was the biggest winner and loser? Ah and Alonso, yes he's back in the conversation with many (including Roger)warming to the idea that Tristan's man will be back on the grid, what is your take? And with many seats available what does this mean for the rest of the field?

NEW PODCAST: Well when we thought the F1 landscape had gone quiet, BAM, this happens, yes for the folk living under rocks, (which I hear can be nice this time of year) Vettel and Ferrari will part ways at the end of 2020. So in this week's episode we talk all things Ferrari, all things Vettel, merry go rounds, our driver predictions, who take the seat, who doesn't and yes it wouldn't be a podcast without someone mentioning Fernando Alonso....But could it really happen?

We are back, yes with the news of a potential restart to 2020 we are back podcasting away. Not only that it's QUIZCAST night! Yes after our successful laugh of the iso QUIZCAST episode we are back and this time it's one for Lewis Hamilton fans. Think you are the ultimate #bestfan? Are you #blessed with Hamilton knowledge? Take on our resident Quizmaster along with the boys and see how you fare. Also tune in at the beginning of this week's QUIZCAST for some news and our take on the upcoming restart!

IT'S QUIZCAST LAUNCH DAY. Yes we have been working away on some podcasts you can enjoy while we all manage our isolation. Grab a copy of our official QUIZCAST game sheet in the previous post, or just shout along with family, friends, or while you drive along. Take on the boys head to head as we have some fun and recap the 2019 season, pub quiz style and find out who has the brains, or lack of. And for those traditionalist don't worry we have a short news segment attached to this week.

We are back in what seems to be the longest pre season of our lives. With so many cancellations and postponements the BTRL boys are one thing you can count on. You would think that there wouldn't be much to talk about in the F1 world, but you would be wrong. This week we dive into news and the speculation about what the next season may look like, sprints, short season or super-season? We give our best F1 recommendations as the world lives in isolation, hear what the boys have been doing to fill the F1 gap, we would love to hear your suggestions. Roger has invented a new segment. We would tell you what it was all about but we still haven't quite figured it out ourselves. All that plus just a little more on this week's ep of BTRL.

The F1 and Motorsport world is in the lurch as the recent cancellation of the Australian GP has left us with more questions than we can possibly answer. This week's episode tackles some of those. We look into driver contracts, will there be movement without racing, many drivers may find it hard to more or be moved on with current form, where can you see drivers going or are we locked in a stalemate? Car development will take a major hit too, with Ferrari locking the gates what rules are now in play with car development? Invest a short amount into 2020 or lengthen the 2021 regulation change? We play the role of team boss. A long with this and much more we talk news, gossip column and answer our fan posed question and create our own fantasy 2020 calendar! Who was on the money and who got it horribly wrong. And although the season is yet to kick off don't fear we are going nowhere. So stick around and we post, chat and talk all things F1 is the ever going lead up to 2020. #btrl #f1

The Boys have had their first day back in the happy spot, a Formula 1 Paddock. Catch up with this episode to get their thoughts on all the big issues and a lot of very little issues.

THE WAIT IS OVER Yes time to come out of hibernation F1 fans because we are back. So much to talk about this week. Its been a week of highs and lows so far and yet not a single piece of rubber has hit the Albert Park surface. From world health to Ferrari engines the past week has had it all. On this weeks podcast we talk news and the potential threat to this weekends racing, what does it mean for fans, racing and the immediate and long term future of the 2020 season. All that and more and we pack our bags and prepare to hit the paddock.

It's time to gear up as the countdown to 2020 is on. This week the boys give their pre-season predictions. F1 Fantasy is ready to launch and for those of you who tune into this week's ep and sign up via the code announcement, a little prize could be coming your way. 2020 also means we are back in the F1 paddock as we take to the track, garages and all things glamour, got a question we can pose for you, keep an eye out for your chance to tell us who you want interviewed and what question you want asked.

PODCAST EP! Yes we are back and as you know its livery week. This week the boys keep it simple and critique each livery so far, plus we chat, gossip and take a sneak peek at some technical noticing of the 2020 challengers. But keep an eye out as our new livery reveal, logo and imaging is released this week ready for season 2020, and if you haven't caught last week's episode head over to iTunes and take a listen. That's this week on BTRL. #f1

Formula 1 is back, well almost, but that is enough to get the boys out of hibernation and about time too. In this pre-livery release episode, the guys chat about all the big news coming from the off season and make predictions about the changes we are about to see. Thank god F1 is back, even if it isn't really.

That's a wrap for 2019. Join us this week for a special end of season full review as we rank every team, every driver, find our BTRL Driver of the year, Dud of the year and many many other highly sort after, but extremely underwhelming awards. Thanks to everyone who has been on the journey this year, we couldn't do it without our fans. So sit back and enjoy the last ep for 2019 of Beyond The Racing Line.

It's lights off and away we go, yes that's it for the home and away season of 2019 and didn't we finish with an absolute blinder?! No, the answer to that is no we didn't, in fact we were as disappointed as a fat kid in a fruit shop. Yes Abu Dhabi was the name of the game. But don't worry the lack of on track action was negated by fuel gate, with Leclerc under investigation pre race for a 5kg diff in fuel the Ferrari boys were doing everything they could to spice up this soup, with fuel as it turns out. This week we talk farewells as we say goodby to the season, the drivers of some and DRS, even though it came back. As always race reviews, news, fantasy, dud of the day, we begin the 2021 driver seat swap nice and early and yes you know who talks Fernando Alonso, all that plus a sneak peek into our upcoming off season and end of year episodes where you can be a part of our awards episode. All that and more on this weeks episode of BTRL.

Like a lung transplant patient waking for the first time, we too have finally caught our breath. Yes the Brazil GP has been won and run and boy oh boy it was one for the ages. This week we talk......well everything, literally everything. In the home of the great Ayrton Senna, we talk Max Verstappen, the drive of his career? We talk Mercedes failures, another victim of hot conditions? We talk Ferrari collisions, who was at fault? We talk Williams and Haas, embarrassments of the sport and we talk podium, the one that got away, the won that didn't and the one that was awarded, taken away, held off, awarded and then handed out! Lets be honest if you have no idea what we are on about this week, then you might be a candidate for the podcast! All that plus fantasy, driver rankings, dud of the day news and we get scientific talking OEM's and Hydrogen refuelling, fancy! All that plus much much more on this weeks episode of BTRL!

Let's talk about 6 baby, lets talk about Lewis and Valtteri, let's talk about all the good things and the bad things....yeah you know the rest. Yes it's podcast week and no don't worry we haven't turned musical. It's the American GP, and yes it was Hamilton who took his 6th world title. Can he match Schumacher? or even surpass him? this week we chat about our fondest Hamilton memory, unpack the new regulations, talk driver swaps, race ranking, Tristan hits us with a triple crown in Dud of the Day and we welcome back Justin, does this mean he had a great Fantasy weekend? All that plus fan questions and much much more as we begin to wrap up season 2019 on BTRL.

From Maxico to Mercico, the Mexican GP was a spicy battle as we fired up for another race weekend. Yes we are back and so is the world champion as he rose (via a hydraulic platform) to the occasion and took the most unlikely of victories in Mexico. The red peppers of Ferrari looked to have it in the bag on Sunday but in true Mercedes fashion the tacos were taken when it mattered. This week we are a man down, possibly due to food poisoning, a few too many tequilas or the simple fact his fantasy was as attractive as a bowl of guacamole, never the less we pushed on without J this week. We look at the race review, talk tec, throw a cheeky driver rumor into the air and finish up with a serving of driver rankings and news, all that plus much much more as we begin to wind down on season 2 of BTRL.

The winds were howling in Suzuka and it wasn't just off the track, as Typhoon Bottas took hold and left destruction in his path. The toll...one Ferrari front wing, two mirrors, a Williams, young Norris and the Racing Point of Perez as the damage cost was estimated in the way that only daddy Stroll could afford. Yes its race week. This week the boys are fired up and for once the drivers and teams are not in the firing line. Hurricane Roger sweeps through and takes heavy aim at the stewards, Tidal wave Tristan washes over some of the finer points of the race and Monsoon Justin fills our ears with the stats that made our race weekend. All that plus race review, driver ratings, fantasy, and much much more. All on this weeks episode of BTRL.

As your mum would always say, do as you're told! But that's not the case if you drive for Ferrari! Yes it was Mulit 21 revisited, or as you could say Multi 165 before Sebastian's MGUK sent him straight to bed without any dessert. But that's not the case this week as we are on our very best behavior serving up a double, triple scoop of F1 goodness. This week we discuss the happenings of the Russian GP, the race that was and then was not, team orders yes / no /maybe, we unpack the news, grill Roger on his dismal fantasy efforts and much to your delights sprinkle your ears with fan questions, all before we tuck everyone in with a hot serving of the future qualifying format, you don't want to miss that. All that plus much much more on this week's ep of BTRL.

Singapore was run and won, but it wasn't the red baron we all expected as Vettel pulled of (an accidental) strategy masterstroke. Yes it's Podcast night and we have a big show in store. Like the front runners this week we are going to pace our way through practice sessions, qualifying, race review and when the time is right, or when J cracks his beer, we will let loose. This week we are on a scavenger hunt of epic proportions. We go searching for Leclercs strategy, try to find the Redbulls downforce, look for Bottas 2.0, scrounge around for Hamilton's missed podium and ponder what happened to full speed racing! All that plus much much more on this week's ep of BTRL!

Mama mia pepperoni, yes its Monza weekend. Leclerc served up a spicy win for the Tifosi on home soil, Vettel and Stroll took a tango across the circuit that and we saw one of the most chaotic qualifying sessions that was more disorganised that the spaghetti in nonnas pasta dishes. This week we delve into the rise of Leclerc, is he officially the real deal? We also take a look at what has brought Renault to life, take a spin on the driver merry-go-round, race review, driver rankings and fantasy.
