Friday Formula

This week, we're taking a step back from the racing action and taking a look at the big picture as we ask "Where does the future of motorsport lie?" In this week's show, Will and Owen each take it in turns to pitch their big ideas for motor racing, from changes they would make to new events they'd like to launch. Ideas such as a motorsport triathlon or midweek races all feature, so sit back with a cuppa and ponder the future of your favourite racing spectacles. What would be your bid idea for the world of racing? We'd love to hear what schemes you have, so let us know on Twitter by reaching out to the show @FridayFormula.

This week, Owen and Will review an epic race in Sochi (yes, really) that saw Lando Norris lose what looked like an assured maiden F1 victory, incredible qualifying from Carlos Sainz and George Russell, an excellent charge from the back by Max Verstappen and, rather inevitably, a Lewis Hamilton win. (His 100th, in fact!)

With a break in the racing schedule, Will and Owen are searching through the DVD cupboard, whipping up a batch of popcorn and settling down for a movie. This week, the team picks out their top three driving-related flicks. From eye-opening documentaries like Senna, to action-packed blockbusters such as Fast & Furious, Owen and Will are here to talk you through some of their favourites.

The final race in the first triple header after the summer break brought out another Formula 1 classic! As the teams returned to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, it was all to play for at the top of the championship. But, a strong showing for Mclaren all weekend, and another contentious collision between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, handed the win to Daniel Ricciardo, who didn't put a foot wrong all weekend. There was further joy for his Woking-based team, as Lando Norris claimed second place and helped secure Mclaren's first 1-2 finish since Canada 2010! As well as analysis of Ricciardo's win, Giovinazzi's spin and a return to form for Valtteri Bottas, Will and Owen also offer their one-sentence reviews of every team on the F1 grid. What did you think of the race, and who do you think was to blame for *that* crash between the championship contenders?

Goedemorgen! We're talking stroopwaffles, genever and world-class sandwiches this week, as we head to The Netherlands for the return of the Dutch Grand Prix. Ahead of Formula 1's return to Zandvoort for the first time in 36 years, we looked back on the track's history, its previous winners, and asked how far F1 has come since it last raced there.

We're half way through the 2021 Formula 1 season, and with racing set to return this weekend we decided to revisit the predictions for 2021 that we made during our very first podcast.
