With a bit of news around and a new bumper feature we squeeze everything out of the summer break and catch up on some film recommendations for good measure.

We cover all the drama from Silverstone, the trajectory of Piastri and Norris, dump magnums of champagne on Hulkenberg and announce his crowned Prince of the UK - because, surprise, we can do that now. Then... hoo boy... then we go deep into the F1 Movie, including a Superlicence guaranteed spoiler-free zone, then we make it very clear when we take things to the SPOILER ZONE, and somehow we not only go almost as long as the movie itself but arguably offer more entertainment.

Of-course we talk about Max Verstappen but we also manage to cover how we'd save Monaco, the sneaky rookie of the year form of Isack Hadjar and quite a bit more to be honest.

We get all the way around our good boy Oscar Piastri (who might be maybe charging toward a drivers' championship?), we debate whether Ferrari are improving, check in on Yuki and the latest TV eventage.

We pour one out for Eddie Jordan, cover every angle on Yuki Tsunoda's new main character energy, reflect on the Australian and Chinese Grands Prix and the fortunes of the rookies first showings.

We're back to recap the off-season (tl;dr you didn't miss much), preview the big season opener in Albert Park, refashion an F1 spotter's guide in our trademark "loose" fashion and trade film recommendations after Piastri's namesake awards.

A wild and unpredictable season deserves as equally wild and unpredictable awards show, and since the FIA gala failed once again to rise to the moment we came together with F1 podcast bretheren Box of Neutrals for our annual tribute to the best of times and blurst of times that was F1 season 2024.

In customary style we reflect on Max Verstappen's Drivers' Championship, stuntcast drivers for the incoming GM Cadillac, hypothesise the fortunes of the discarded drivers from the 2024 grid and consider adding the podcast theme to our workout mixes.
