The latest thoughts and opinion from The NR F1 Podcast crew
By Callum Springall Despite qualifying more than four tenths down on Mercedes, it was Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari who took home what is surely the best looking trophy of the year… all right, second best. Might as well cut the British GP trophy some slack! The reasons for this are wide-ranging, as the actions of […]
By Callum Springall After an anti-climactic yet equally refreshing opening in Melbourne, Formula 1’s V6 hybrids roared – or farted if you’re a member of the Will Buxton school of thought – into life in China. Despite a slow start and something to do with a hospital, Saturday gave rise to a fine battle between […]
Sebastian Vettel’s great drive and all the hard work the fine people in Fiorana have done over the winter meant we got off to a successful start with our betting previews, writes Kyle Cumbers. Hopefully that will continue this weekend in China – and the exciting part is we’re not sure which team or driver […]
By Callum Springall New year, new cars, new order? That was the question asked by most F1 fans in the run up to the Australian Grand Prix. Mind you, there were a fair few theories suggesting that wouldn’t be the case. Mercedes were sandbagging in testing, some said – to the tune of about one second. They […]
Melbourne brought a legendary drive – and it wasn’t from Sebastian Vettel. But it did come about from another driver supposedly ‘bottling’ it in Australia. All standard fare as the 2017 season-opening Formula 1 grand prix down under sparks the usual debate at The NR F1 Podcast. Back with their first race review of the […]
By Callum Springall They say every team in Formula 1 has its cycle. Its purple patch, if you will. Some are either fortunate enough or just genuinely good enough, to make their domination span multiple seasons. Think Red Bull’s monopolisation of both drivers’ and constructors’ championships from 2010 to 2013; others barely manage to reach […]
Happy New Season everybody! Hopefully it will be a season to remember too, writes Kyle Cumbers. It’s hard to make predictions for the first race as all the data we have is from testing, and even the teams are not sure where they are in the pecking order. Not only that. Races at Melbourne are […]
Let’s get the 2017 season previewed from the same room Jake Humphrey sorts his morning cuppa! Presenter and sports journalist Michael Bailey is trusted to enter the Norfolk home of the former BBC Formula 1 host and TV presenter, to look ahead to the new season – and see if Humphrey misses being part of […]
It’s not a grower – in fact, it’s horrible! That’s the verdict of David Tillyer as The NR F1 Podcast returns ahead of the 2017 Formula 1 season, to sum up some of the big winter stories, the first forays into pre-season testing, the new rule changes – and most importantly, those darn liveries. Edition […]
This year marks a new era in many aspects for Formula One: the biggest rules reset for eight years, what feels like the biggest shift in the driver market for some time, the potential for a new order and a full makeover for the drivers’ loyal – or occasionally not so loyal – stallions. So […]
