Beyond The Racing Line - Formula 1 Podcast

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.

We came we saw and we left Spa with memories that would last a lifetime. This week the collective F1 world put its arms around each other as we raced for Anotine. This week the boys reflect upon the weekend that was Spa. Charles officially arrived in F1 with a gritty win, while Norris arrived a lap short gritting his teeth, Max took a trip down memory lane as he collected the Ice Man and Albon showed us why he could very well be the right bull in the pen. As always we dive into news, race reviews, race rankings, fan questions. dud of the day and we slot our first coin into the driver merry-go-round as the silly season for seats hits second gear. All that plus much much more on this weeks ep of BTRL

It's the mid season break, but the boys are hard at it. Well sort of.... Actually we have some concerns. Wattsy has taken up bird watching by the fire and Tristan has been spending some quality time with his cat, and only his cat. In this sanity saving episode, the boys unpack the Redbull meat grinder discuss the new regulation sneak peaks and all the news. They also line up all the team mates and pick their winners to this points. Roger (not ours) gets his questions answered and they enjoy a bit of self promotion. Bring on Spa! Please bring on Spa....

TOOLS DOWN! Yes its summer shutdown once again for the F1 circus but not before we are treated to yet another thriller. This time the hunter caught the lion as Hamilton and Mercedes pulled off the strategy of a lifetime to snatch the win from the jaws of the Dutch Lion. This week we theorize, hypothesize, ponder, wonder and ponder all of the possibilities that was the Budapest GP. Race review, driver rankings, fantasy fans questions and keep an ear out for our new segment idea, if you hear it we want to know your thoughts, all that plus much much more (except our summer plans, because its winter here) on this weeks episode of BTRL.

As the saying goes, "The Rain in Spain falls mainly on....well Hockenheim!" Yes it's race weekend. Grab your floaties, fire up the tinnie and break out the paddle boards we have a wet one! If ever there was going to be a swan song for a track, Hockenheim takes gold silver and bronze. The best of the best took to the track and it was Max who is now the unofficial rain master of Formula 1, who took it home ahead of a fast finishing Vettel. But is was the Torpedo who stole the show, true to his name and delivered Toro Rosso just their second podium. Among the carnage one thing is for certain, the Bulls like it wet. This week we go driver by driver and unpack each and every performance, we look at race rankings, fantasy, driver rumors and find out what emoji is the boys go to. Is it the splashing whale? Only time will tell. All that plus much much more on this weeks episode of BTRL.

Warm up your beers, serve up the bangers and mash and brush off those doilies, its Silverstone week. Its was battles, battles and more battles as fans were treated to the most action packed and exciting racing this year. This week we look at Bottas 2.0, he was back and man were those elbows out. We chat Max V Charles, like Arnie in the terminator, have we seen a glimpse of the future? We delve deep into Twitter land and find out if the work experience kids are running Rich Energies account and what's eating Seb? All that plus news, driver rankings, dud of the day, news and fantasy. Its your weekly serve of BTRL.

It was a a case of all hands on deck in Austria as Charles applied chest compression's and Max breathed the vital breaths that brought F1 back from the dead. With more drama than an episode of Grey's Anatomy our elite professionals got to work and F1 is on the road to recovery. From FP2 to race day we were treated with what is so far the race of the year. This week the boys look at Max and his barnstorming win, shed a tear for Charles as he was left at the alter for the second time and admired Lando Norris and his insane ability to create high quality Instagram posts while shoving his elbows out against a 5 time world champion. All that plus a full race review, driver ratings, dud of the day, fantasy and we find out what type of sandwich soothes our soul on a race day run to the pantry.

Penalties, penalties and more penalties. Yes they were flying left right and center this week and no-one was safe. Ricciardo tried to race and was hit with two 5 second penalties. Perez did the right thing and was hit with a 5 second penalty. Vettel was still seething, from last weeks penalty and the fans turned up to watch the sport they love the most and were hit with a 2hr penalty. Not sure who's reviewing that one. Yes like a stale croissant that has been left in the back of the pantry the French GP was the one that you regret you watched. However we have got you covered. This week we dive into the rule book and try to make sense of it all as fans, we ask is the sport dying and who is going to give it CPR? We investigate where the McLaren form came from, ask is Dan really back, begin our first driver merry-go-round predictions of 2019 and give you an insight into exactly what type of potato we love the most. All that plus much much more on this weeks episode of BTRL.

Yes it's PODCAST NIGHT and it's a crime wave. The boys put their detective hats on as we tackle the theft of the Ferrari win, prime suspect FIA! But that's not the only crime. Ricciardo steals our hearts as he qualifies 4th, Magnussen steals Verstappens Q3 appearance, fire steals Norris's suspension and Stroll steals a point, yes that's not a typo. But the big question is did he steal Tristans heart......No, he didn't. As always we dive into news, race reviews, driver of the day, dud of the day and fantasy. All that plus much more on this crime busting episode of BTRL.

Monaco has been run and won and as always the debate rages. Was Hamilton's pool splash as good as Ricciardo? Yes the boys are back this week for another installment of BTRL. This week we look at all the happenings, glitz, glamour champagne and canape Monaco had to offer. But in a somber way we celebrate as the F1 world mourns the passing of Niki Lauder. It's news, gossip, fantasy f1, race reviews, race rankings, fan questions and dud of the day as we join the F1 community in saying Danke Niki.

It's lights OFF and away we go...to sleep! Yes that right race fans the Spanish GP was run and won but hell we have no idea what went on because let's be honest we all fell asleep. However don't despair this won't stop us from diving headfirst into discussion as we unpack the bit at the start, that one crash that was kinda like a half spin and the bit where they all finished and 3 got trophies. THRILLING PODCASTING WE KNOW! All this plus race rankings, dud of the day, fantasy, new, gossip and find out who we think can throw a tennis ball the furthest. Yeah it's been one of those weekends. It's your weekly edition of BTRL! #F1

The castle walls shook as we headed back to Baku with a bang. But just like a Datsun 180B on a cold winter morning Sunday misfired. This week we talk all things Azerbaijan. We unpack the on an off and on and off and on and then finally off Quali session, talk Tec, tyres and temps, drool at the prospect of Bottas 2.0, and ask is season 2019 really over. All that plus one of the most sideways opening questions ever and watch for the cheeky Alonso mention. Can we get through and ep without him coming up! Ugh. All that and more on this week's show.

Well it was 1000thish race, and what a FLOP. We saw one of he more boring F1 races we will care to see, but their was still loads to discuss. The boys do just that as they always do. Sit back to what should hopefully be a more entertaining time than the 1000thish GP.

It was hot in the desert but it gets even hotter on the latest episode of Beyond the Racing Line, when Roger and Tristan go head to head on a range of matters lead by Lewis Hamilton of all things. The guys review what was an unbelievable race and break down some of the bigger moments before delivering their race rankings. Tristan updates the team on their fantasy performances (much to Roger's displeasure) and Wattsy sits back and enjoys the show while adding his two bob worth. All this and more on Beyond the Racing Line - The Formula 1 Podcast that tells it how it is.

Aussie drivers don't seem to have any lucky in their home race and this was certainly no change to that. Some bloke needs to get on to his lawn mower and ensure the grass is shorter next year. In this episode, the boys run their usual race review, continue talking about their surreal weekend and touch on all the major topics coming from the weekend.

Roger and Tristan were finally let lose in the F1 Paddock and Media Centre today. Catch this Episode to see how it went.

With the 2019 season preview almost upon us, the boys run through their hopes and dreams for whats to come.

The boys are here with the latest episode of Beyond The Racing Line and they finally get around to discussing those livery launches. We'll give you 1 guess who Tristan rips to pieces. Roger discusses his heart break over the Ted rumors and they discuss the first week of testing. All this and more....

WELCOME TO SEASON 2019. Yes that's right the boys are back for another action packed year and so what better way than to kick off in style with a reunion episode. This week we take a little more of a casual approach, if that was even possible, and chat all things F1. Tristan does his very best to explain what Formula E is, Justin talks about things and holidays, Roger practices his new and improved host voice and we get geared up for the season ahead. As always there is news, gossip, mini predictions and much much more. IT'S MICS ON AND AWAY WE GO!

Well it's that time of the year where we say farewell to the season the that delivered so much joy for us and you! It's business as usual for the boys this week but what is most important is that we say thank you to each and every one of you who make this possible, because without you, the listeners, and the down loaders (all 20,000) we simply wouldn't be 3 guys in a pub loving our sport! Don't worry though we have more eps including our BTRL awards, driver and team rating specials and keep an eye out for the Christmas Episode for the first time! So until next week as J says, "keep it rubber side down"!

BIFF, BAM, KAPOW! No it's not a 1980s Batman episode, it's the boys back with another installment of BTRL! We have had the thriller in Manilla, the Rumble in the Jungle and this week in the Red Corner was Verstappen Vs the man in Pink Ocon as they fought it out for the Shove on the Scales! Ok yeah we need to work on that title.

All that plus loads more from BTRL!

IT'S ALL OVER! No we haven't drummed up the courage to sack Roger due to his table decorating opening question, the championship is over! Yes Lewis makes it 5 even though its kinda a week too late! This week Tristan is on the mend and thankfully making more sense, J does his best RedBull engine impression and blows up over Dan's blowups, Roger explains why he would fight 12 chicken sized horses over 1 horse size chicken and we all ponder why the Mexican Anthem goes for so long. All that plus a race review, driver rankings, news, gossip and a full run down of fan questions.

Man flu has struck and brought our man Tristan down, but the wait is over and the boys are back. This episode has everything you need and love, a good solid disagreement, some of the most outrageous theories you'll hear, a race review and a race preview. The boys load up some love for Kimi and Roger expresses exactly how disappointed he is in Seb's and Ferrari's second half of the season. If this wasn't enough, we also have a recipes to get you through your weekend.

The Japanese GP has been run and won and we just witnessed the slow and painful death of the of the 2018 Ferrari championship challenge. It was a great race with plenty to talk about. Catch it all right here.

We are taking the questions from our wonderful listeners to a whole new level by giving them an episode all to it's self. Have a listen and let us know what you think of the new format.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This time we all lose. It was a Formula 1 weekend that lacked in so many ways, but it did give us loads to talk about, and while Roger fears Formula 1 is broken, all is not lost. We have some solutions.

SINGAPORE IS DONE AND DUSTED! The lights went out and boy did we, ummm, see, ahhhh....yeah some really great, ahhh cars, that ahh did some real fast laps, and ahh oh yeah they changed tyres a couple of times, oh and did you know they gave out 3 trophies, madness!! They sure know how to throw a GP......did I leave the dishwasher on? Yes that's right the longest race was the biggest flop of the year, but don't worry we had plenty to talk about. This week we unpack all the talking points of the Singapore GP, take a deeper look at the driver swaps, try and figure out what was eating Perez, for the first time mention Sirotkin and his fighting drive, try to re home Ocon and discuss if Ferrari are no longer the "IT" team of Formula 1? Also keep a listen out for our live facebook feed during our recording, if you were talking to us you might just hear your thoughts on the air! All that and more in this weeks.....zzzzzzzzz.

It's podcast time! And the boys are fired up just like the Scuderia, as we deliver our most passionate podcast of the year. You won't be disappointed! This week we discuss the race that WAS. It WAS suppose to be won by Seb, Kimi WAS supposed to complete a fairy tale 100th podium, Williams WAS supposed to start from the back, but it WAS Lewis who got the job done as the championship took a critical turn. Along with this we cover live breaking news from McLaren, ask where to for the Force India boys, complete a race review, look ahead to Singapore and answer our much loved fan questions! All that plus some pumped up presenters in this week edition from Beyond The Racing Line!

The summer break is over, and so was the race for many! Yes we are back and if the summer break wasn't hectic enough for you then don't worry turn 1 has you covered! Hulk went smash, Alonso went crash, LeClerc gave the Sauber a new brown paint job and the rest of the midfield realised they should have taken an extra day to sober up from their holiday bevs as the revs went up a notch and we collided into the 2nd half of 2018. This week we look at the carnage from spa, dive in-depth into the Force India rise and fall and rise again, race review, fantasy GP, fan questions and much much much more. Far out, is it time for another break? Come join the boys for a gridlocked episode of Beyond the Racing Line!

We're back online, F1 is back on track, the podcast is back on the air and you're back in the audience. But the F1 world isn't feeling our love. Alonso has left McLaren, Dan has left Redbull, Gasly has left Torro Rosso and all efforts to predict the driver market are out the window. This week we jump aboard the merry-go-round and share thoughts on who is going where, we touch on news, finish part 2 of our mid season review, answer fan questions, make a prediction for Spa and continue to do what we do best, find out the dictionary meaning of a back flip agree, disagree, agree again, disagree about our agreement and wrap up all of the madness that has been one of the most hectic F1 breaks ever! Welcome back fans we missed you!

We are half way through the mid-season break and Wattsy has cabin fever. So we thought it was best we celebrate his birthday with a few beers and some Formula 1 talk from our favourite man cave, 'The Shed'. The Boys reflect on a weeks worth on mental processing on the big announcement from Our Man Dan and we have a chat about the Force India take over. The episode is finished with part 1 of the mid-season review and plenty of banter throughout.

No one really saw this coming, or did they? Wattsy and Roger get together to discuss the move of the season and a move which may well define Our Man Dan's career?

Break time! No it's not the Tuesday afternoon tea and bikkies break while you throw banter at your workmates around the watercooler. It's the summer break. So while we freeze in the rain and -1° temps in the land downunder we left the weekend feeling hot. Dan was hot, Lewis was hot (in the wet) Max's engine got too hot, then his temper got to hot, Bottas's tyres got too hot, Sebs pressure to perform got hot and all the while Kimi in his natural Ice Man ways was the only man who kept his cool. This week we discuss the weekend gone, we talk Renault and Redbull, the Force India buy out and plan our 4 weeks off...all that and much much more as we say cheers to the first half of season 2018.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL! Well no one told us that! Geez, maybe we should start hugging it out to end every episode. Yes the boys are back for another week. Just like the German GP we were flying this week and then the coffee left our system and for no apparent reason we lost it, we called Seb for advice but he was Grazzi Riggazzi (that's German for missing in action.....we think) This week we take a review of the most unusual race of the year. Roger does his very best to now unconvince himself that Kimi is leaving, Justin left the cooker off and conveniently "forgot" to bring the heat on Hulkenberg and Tristan shares his love of reading and what clearly seems to be wayyyy too much free time and limited social life as he unpacks some of the FIA F1 regulations for those not in the know. All that plus news, driver ratings, fan questions, prizes and much much more on our 54th episode of Beyond The Racing Line.

The boys are in the shed again, and have to endure an Aussie winter rain shower, but all is good because Wattsy is back from his early mid season break. With contracts being signed all around us, the boys take a close look at who they expect to be steering the Formula 1 Cars in season 2019. Wattsy worryingly states his support for Hartley and Sirotkin, while wanting to turn the heat on the Tristan's man, 'The Hulk'. The boys also have a chat about the up coming German Grand Prix and give their race predictions.

What a weekend it was. We are back this week as we run an ice bath over the British GP. Just like Hartley on Sunday, Justin couldn't make it out so he will join his man in the New Zealand paddocks herding sheep and enjoying an nice serving of fush and chups. Pressure, pressure and more pressure. This week posed more questions than answers, but that didn't stop us having an opinion. Everywhere you look someone is under the pump. We take a look at the weekend that was, and seriously question the media for the first time. We attempt to break up the school yard fight between Ferrari and Mercedes and get our glasses out to find where the 80 horsepower in the Redbull has gone? Roger gives his insight into the need for a full time steward, we talk about what lies ahead for Grosjean, take a peek and who's still in with a fighting chance for the title, and kiss goodbye the triple header. All that plus listener questions, fantasy GP and announce our competition winner on this weeks podcast from Beyond The Racing Line.

Just like last nights race we lost a driver, yes J is a DNF this week as he treks off on assignment to eat Fush and Cups, chase sheep and search for the birthplace of Brendan Hartley. SPOILER ALERT, he hasn't found it! But hey who knows, the fush and chups might be worth it! This week we take a full race review of one of the strangest races of the year. Roger takes the blow torch off Max and begins to burn a hole into Kimi, but will he melt the Iceman that easily? We also discuss what went wrong with the Merc upgrade, what went wrong with Dan, what went wrong with Hulkenberg, what went wrong with the strategy at Merc and what the hell is wrong with the way Williams people dress? So join us for this surprisingly upbeat and positive podcast episode!

We start the triple header with a beauty and the boys can't wait to cover it from start to finish. They also manage a bit of 2019 driver speculation, sack everyone possible at Williams and McLaren and look at ahead to the Austrian GP this week. All this and more at your favourite Formula 1 Podcast.

MINI PODCAST! Like that first shot of tequila on a Saturday night we have been smacked in the face with the news that Redbull will sign Honda for 2019 and 2020. However we have sobered up and found the strength to discuss the deal of the year. Get the boys thoughts and initial reactions as we all watch this space like the next taxi pulling into the rank!

It's go time and this week we take time out of the F1 break to bring you just what we all need....F1! It's LeMans week and Alonso has won! Don't worry though we have all your sticky and delicious Fernando goodness covered, and by we, we mean Tristan and by covered we mean the boys do their very best to limit his air time so that we don't have to endure another love fest this week. We know, we know, we hope he retires too, Tristan that is. In between that we talk all things Mclaren, is there any hope for the Papya power house or are they on the Williams path to nowhere, we look at what the new regulations will mean for the upcoming year, spread a few driver rumors, preview the French GP and Google what an SF19 car is...don't worry we didn't know either. So strap yourself in as we gear up for the back to back to back triple crown of our very own!
