By Kyle Cumbers We have been very lucky with the start of the season we’ve seen so far and the excitement is building for the battle ahead at the front between Ferrari and Mercedes. Although it is still very early in the 2017 season, Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen need a result soon to postpone […]
There are no punches pulled by Kyle Cumbers on the latest NR F1 Podcast, as he gets stuck into Fernando Alonso’s decision to take on Indy 500 and miss out on Formula 1’s trip to Monaco. Just don’t fall under the impression that McLaren and Jenson Butter avoid his scorn too. Edition 156 of The […]
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.

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 […]
