After five years away, the Chinese Grand Prix returned with a flurry of rain, flaming grass and an all-too-predictable result. Ollie, Phill and Terry dissect the race and sprint race at the Shanghai International Circuit and, be warned, Terry does some impressions.

In this preview episode of FF1S, Ollie, Phill and Terry prepare to welcome back the Chinese Grand Prix, a race we'd forgotten about and have no strong feelings about one or the other. Phill wholeheartedly embraces cliché as he takes a deep dive into the Shanghai International Circuit and the wonders that await us, but only after the team answers your questions.

After the merest hint in Australia that maybe Max Verstappen and Red Bull wouldn't dominate the season, our hopes were dashed in Japan as we went back to the usual format. Perez is still doing an impression of being good, Sainz is still doing an impression of being better than Leclerc, and Logan Sargeant's impression of a million pieces of carbon fibre is apparently contagious. Ollie, Phill and Terry talk about all that, and there's an insight into Terry's film career, too. He was in Skyfall, you know.

It's RACE WEEK, as it is just about every week. This time Formula 1 goes to JAPAN, which is normally at the end of the season but now isn't because tradition is a nasty word that we don't need in F1 anymore. Ollie, Phill and Terry reflect on your questions in the wake of the Australian Grand Prix – Sainz, Russell, Alonso etc – and then look ahead to the Suzuka showdown in the GREAT FF1S BIG PREVIEW, as we're not calling it. It has FACTS GALORE, some of which might even be true. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After waking up at horrible o'clock for the Australian Grand Prix, it was a pleasant surprise to have an interesting race for once. Ollie, Phill and Terry look back at Carly Simon's dominant win in Melbourne and ask the important questions: does anyone remember Ollie Bearman? Is this the start of Red Bull's decline, and is it because of what happens when you play with yourself in the bath? Plus why Fernando Alonso steals burgers, probably.

With the Middle East dirge races behind us we now head hopefully to Australia and perhaps the first decent race of the season maybe possibly.

The Saudi Arabian GP came and went and Max Verstappen won again. But the real story was Ollie Bearman, who is surely the greatest Formula 1 driver in history now. Phill and Terry are joined by their own super sub, Drew Stearne, to look back at the Bearnaissance and ask - what does this mean for his career, for F1 and indeed for humanity? Also Red Bull’s implosion continues everywhere except the track, so that’s fun.

After months of waiting, the Bahrain Grand Prix delivered a fizzle and a result that we’ll probably be seeing a lot of. Again. But F1 is at least still delivering the drama - it’s just happening on WhatsApp. Allegedly.

F1 is nearly back! And it's not going away for a while. Ollie, Phill and Terry take a deep breath and look back at the off-season news, of which there was a lot, and pre-season testing, of which there wasn't much. As well as our usual cutting-edge insight and analysis there's also an update from Terry on whether or not he's done any new t-shirt designs like he promised, and also we're opening a pub. WHAAA?

Never mind the final race of the season, never mind the annual FIA prize-giving – this is what it all comes down to. The FF1S gang gather IN PERSON, at an ACTUAL PUB to debate the 2023 Formula 1 season and all who sailed in her. We'll reflect on the good, the bad, the hilariously inept and the grudgingly rather impressive, before pronouncing an actual winner that isn't Max Verstappen. It's the only record he doesn't have.

This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back an an underwhelming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and ruminate on the season, before remembering that there’s an end of season episode coming up and they should probably wait for that. So most of this is just filler. Anyway, enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Better late than never, Phill and Terry are joined by Drew Stearne to try and remember what happened in the São Paulo Grand Prix, while also looking forward the the gaudy, neon-drenched clusterfuck that the Las Vegas GP will probably be.

Mexico arrived in a sea of stereotypes, including sombreros, mariachi music, Max Verstappen winning and Sergio Perez making a disgrace of himself.

Would Japan be Red Bull’s downfall after the shocker of Singapore? No. Utter dominance returned and Red Bull are six-time champions. But also McLaren are good, Perez is shit and who will get the boot next season?

Singapore was a bit of a classic and didn't even need rain to spice it up.

Monza. The home of Ferrari, the home of the tifosi. The home of a surprisingly good performance from the Maranello team. Not good enough to win, obviously, but still.

The Hungarian Grand Prix promised much, with an exciting qualifying and the suggestion that MAYBE Max Verstappen wouldn't romp to an easy victory. But then he did, within literally one corner. Still, it proved a mildly engaging race that will be fervently dissected and analysed by Phill and Terry, together with guest host Drew Stearne. They'll talk about Daniel Ricciardo returning, Lando Norris smashing shit up, and Alfa Romeo being notable for once. Listen. Laugh. Love. Learn more about your ad choices.

Impressively soon after the British Grand Prix and just before Alphatauri killed Nyck de Vries and replaced him with Daniel Ricciardo, Phill and Terry are joined once again by Ollie Peart. Together, they discuss terrible anthems, excellent orange (and chrome) cars and all the other Silverstone gossip. They speculate wildly about the new F1 film with Brad Pitt and some other guy, and there's an excellent Martin Brundle fact that you're welcome to use.

Canada saw a return to form for Formula 1, by which we mean it was only mildly dull instead of a complete snoozefest.

Human rights played second fiddle to racing and DRAMA in Saudi Arabia, as the wrong Red Bull won and the Verstappens were not happy about it.

Yes, the new season of Formula 1 is about to start, so Cheeka, Phill and Terry have wearily dragged themselves back to the microphone to look back at three days of testing in Bahrain. There's a weary acknowledgement that, yes, Max Verstappen is going to run away with it, but hey, at least Aston might be OK, even if only with one driver.

It's finally over. Even though the race for the 2022 title was actually over months ago, we had to drag out the charade to Abu Dhabi, but we made it. Well done everybody. Verstappen won again, Perez's love for him was unrequited and Charley Clark wangled a second place.

We'll be honest, the F1 season has dragged on a bit in 2021. But the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend was a cracker, with action and excitement across the board. Kevin Magnussen got his first pole. George Russell got his first win, and then another one straight afterwards. But all everyone is talking about is how much of a colossal bellend Max Verstappen is. Cheeka, Phill and Terry spend most of an hour doing exactly that, and then Terry gives all the teams human names. ENJOY!

Spa is a guarantee of brilliant racing, except last year when it wasn't and this year when it also wasn't. Still, there was at least some excitement at the start with Verstappen and Leclerc charging from the back, and Hamilton forgetting how to overtake. But then... boredom.

Very, very occasionally our overlords ask something of us - and today is one such occassion. And so we present to you an episode of The Overview, made by producer Matt's company Rethink Audio. The episode we've picked out for you to sample is... Has women's football finally broken into the mainstream? Women’s football was once banned and derided, but some say it could now be the standard-bearer for all women’s sports. England’s Lionesses are riding a wave of enthusiasm that fans hope will see them through to a Euro 2022 victory, while champions of the sport hope this could be a watershed moment in redefining perceptions of the game. Why has it taken so long for women’s football to be embraced? What barriers persist? And could this tournament change everything? This is The Overview. Presented by Julia O’Driscoll, with guests Professor Jean Williams, a sports historian and author, Jen O’Neill, editor of She Kicks magazine, and Jenny Mitton, director at M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment.

Part 2 of our 2021 season review sees Cheeka, Phill, Terry and Jack look back on a litany of management failures, edge-of-the-seat action and high drama. And that’s just Terry’s diary. They also look at the year’s F1 races, while consuming alcohol in large amounts. Say thanks with beer: ff1s.com/pintpintpint Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After perhaps the most controversial F1 season of all time, who better than three slightly drunk idiots and a respected commentator to pore over all the races of 2021? Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the Formula 1 season with the help of 5 Live’s Jack Nicholls and Terry’s diary, which contains no references to F1 whatsoever. Recorded just before Christmas, this episode covers the first half of the season, after which we needed a break. And another drink. WE GO AGAIN TOMORROW. Learn more about your ad choices.

The finale of the 2021 Formula 1 season was, as predicted by many, a shitshow at the fuck factory, but at least it wasn’t boring. Cheeka, Phill and Terry look back at the very silly Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, decide who should resign, and ultimately congratulate Max Verstappen on his first title. Also: there's a panto. Now let’s never speak of it again. Thank us for the season: ff1s.com/pintpintpint Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix everyone was worried about human rights, but we all soon forgot about that as F1 launched its biggest shit show in ages. Still, it was entertaining, and means the championship goes down to winner-takes-all in Abu Dhabi. Cheeka, Phill and Terry chew over the ludicrous goings on from Jeddah and also remember the late, great Sir Frank Williams.

Qatar brought an interesting track that looked great to drive on but didn't make for a particularly enthralling race. Still, Hamilton's win keeps the title race interesting, and Fernando Alonso reminded us all of how good he could have been if he hadn't annoyed everyone early in his career. Cheeka, Phill and Terry reflect on the inaugural grand prix at the Losail International Circuit and waffle on about all things F1 without any particular insight or expertise, as per usual.

Cheeka's back! And she's brought a terrible quality microphone with her, so sorry about that. But with the gang back together, we talk about the Not Brazilian Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton put in one hell of a performance to overcome All The Things and close the gap to Max Verstappen in the championship. Some other drivers were also there, but honestly, we didn't really notice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Apart from qualifying and the first 100 metres, the Mexican Grand Prix was as dull as mezcal with no worm. So to liven things up, Phill and Terry are joined by SPECIAL GUEST CHEEKA, Richard "Spanners" Ready from off of the Missed Apex podcast. He gets to swear, we get a presenter while Cheeka's away, everybody's happy. Except our bodyguards, who have to stay at home now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The American Grand Prix had plenty of action and intrigue, with a big dollop of cheese drizzled around it, courtesy of random celebrities that apparently didn't want to be there. They probably didn't care that Max Verstappen struck what could be a decisive blow against Lewis Hamilton in the title battle. But Cheeka, Phill and Terry care. Sort of. Well, listen to them delve into the Texas fun and see what you think. This episode is supported by NordVPN - use the code FF1S to get 73% off your 2-year plan PLUS 4 bonus months for free.

The Turkish Grand Prix was a bit of a let down, and we'll be honest, this episode might be too, because Cheeka's ill. However, she's replaced by professional replacement Cheeka, Alex Goy, who joins Phill and Terry to chew through the lumps of the race in Istanbul. Valtteri Bottas put in his annual good performance, but all eyes were on Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who failed to deliver much excitement. Still, it keeps the championship fight slightly interesting, so that's something.

The rain came to Russia right at the end and made an already interesting race much more fun. Lando Norris lost and Lewis Hamilton won, but then so did Max Verstappen. In a way. Cheeka, Terry and Phill look back on an incident-packed Russian Grand Prix, and also review the new Schumacher film in their usual insightful and considered manner. You want a newsletter?

The Italian Grand Prix provided a deathly dull sprint race and then a much more exciting main event. Cheeka, Phill and Terry discuss this unexpected winners, completely expected crashes and whether they deserved penalties, and then talk about sex toys and which driver you’d want to sleep with.

Zandvoort promised much, and delivered pretty pictures, orange fog and racing boredom. But Verstappen won, so yay the Dutch GP? Cheeka, Phill and Terry ask where it all went wrong, reminisce about Cheeka’s wedding, and talk about the new driver deals, including a great speculation about Alex Albon going to Williams that we then cut because it’s out of date now.

The Belgian Grand Prix… wasn’t. Phill and Terry get together to lambast the F1 idiocy that left thousands of people getting wet on a Belgian hill with no chance of a refund. They also wait for Cheeka to turn up and try and avoid a repeat of what reviews called “the worst episode ever”. Did they succeed? You decide. Please.

Where to start with the Hungarian Grand Prix? With inappropriate humour and big gaps in our analysis of course.

Silverstone saw two races for the British Grand Prix, except one wasn’t a race, except it was. Then Hamilton and Verstappen crashed and it was definitely someone’s fault, except it wasn’t. And everyone got Covid, probably. Cheeka, Phill and Terry are joined by a LIVE Listeners Corner phonein thing to talk about all the naughtiness in Northamptonshire, and there’s some terrible singing.

It's the second Austrian Grand Prix - and the fourth in a year - and it was nowhere near as bad as last week’s, even if Max Verstappen waltzed off to victory with no challengers. It was all action behind though; Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about harsh penalties, shouty radio messages and new contracts, among other unrelated nonsense.

The Styrian Grand Prix promised much and delivered mostly boredom and a silly name. However, it was punctuated by Bottas spinning in the pitlane, so that was fun. Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about Max Verstappen’s Hamilton-like win, worry that next week will be the same again, and also reveal Terry’s new tattoo, which may or may not be Philip Morris related.

Everyone expected the French GP to be boring, and for all Terry knows, it was, because he didn’t watch it. But Cheeka and Phill did, and so they all conspire to blather on about how strategy trumps pace, how stripes give us headaches and how no one every f*cking listens to us. And perhaps justifiably so.

Azerbaijan was a slow burner. After marshals ran out of red flags in qualifying, the race saw Charles Leclerc go backwards but then not much happened. Luckily, Pirelli intervened, and then all hell broke loose. And in the end, nothing changed in the championship. Cheeka, Phill and Terry drink a bit and talk about Verstappen and Stroll’s smashes, Hamilton’s magic dance and then get distracted by anything and everything. Learn more about your ad choices.
