Listen to podcasts from Roifield Brown

The team breaks down a shaky weekend of F1 at Monza. Fan issues and a safety car debacle plagued the Italian GP weekend, but we also highlight stand-in Nyck de Vries’ incredible debut for Williams, as well as the latest news. We know Red Bull-Porsche is dead, but could Max Verstappen be gone soon, too? Ahead of Marina Bay, Ed casts a glance at the 2008 Singapore GP, one of the most controversial in the sport’s history. Meanwhile, Joe goes full&nbsp;Gazzetta&nbsp;with a focus on overperforming underdogs Scuderia Italia. Also…nationalise Dallara?

The Italian Grand Prix - Max wins yet again

Back from the Zandvoort bankings, the race directors analyse the newly revived Dutch Grand Prix’s second edition. Also covering the latest news and paddock whispers: could Colton Herta be joining AlphaTauri in 2023? We look back with Ed to the 1995 Italian Grand Prix, and Johnny Herbert’s second race win for Benetton, against legendary teammate Michael Schumacher. Finally, Joe throws Italian exceptionalism to the curb with a look at Andrea Moda. Are they the worst team in the history of Formula 1?

The Dutch Grand Prix - Max wins, but Merc comes close

The crew are back from their summer break! Listen as we dissect proceedings from the Belgian Grand Prix, from Lewis Hamilton’s uncharacteristic mistake to Esteban Ocon’s overtaking clinic, as well as all of the whispers from around the paddock. Ahead of F1’s short trip to Zandvoort, Ed covers the old track’s final race, and three-time champion Niki Lauda’s final win, in 1985. Meanwhile, Joe takes a look at the BRM team, and how the capital ‘B’ British project fell so much sooner than its rivals.

The Belgian Grand Prix - Max dominates

I’m Shannon Maybury, your host of The Race Directors podcast, and I’m joined by the soon-to-be blue-flagged backmarkers F1 journalist Ed Spencer and serial podcaster Joe Spagnoli, mysterious F1 Twitter menace Unpaid 1ntern is still doing his paid interning. Looking Back with Ed.&nbsp;To choose a classic race from Spa, is like choosing which cake to have for dessert you simply can’t choose one. But if I had to choose one it had to be the one which had everything you could have wanted in a race, drama, action and a heartwarming ending. It’s the story of when Damon Hill and Eddie Jordan danced all night and Schumacher raged quit. It’s the story of Spa’1998. Classic teams with Joe.Mercedes’s dominance post-2013 may have reintroduced German silver to the front of the F1 grid, but for all their pride before crashing out at Hockenheim, the team itself are as British as they get. In fact, true German teams are a rarity in F1 history, perhaps due in part to the mess of this week’s classic tale, when the Zakspeed touring car team decided to try their luck on the biggest stage of all.

Mid Season report and the Hungarian Grand Prix

I’m Shannon Maybury, your host of The Race Directors podcast, and I’m joined by the soon to be blue-flagged backmarkers F1 journalist Ed Spencer and serial podcaster Joe Spagnoli, mysterious F1 Twitter menace Unpaid 1ntern is still doing his paid interning. Looking Back with Ed. The 2006 edition of the Hungarian Grand Prix was the weekend where Jenson Button finally broke a hoodoo that lasted over 100 races to join the most prestigious club in racing. It’s the story of when Button danced in the rain. Classic teams of F1 lore - British American Racing (BAR). Riding a wave of hype and expectation never before seen in the sport, British American Racing – BAR – emerged from the ashes of the classic Tyrrell, but this was no simple takeover. Craig Pollock’s team were based out of an all-new facility in Brackley, had sponsorship from one of the world’s biggest tobacco conglomerates, and the services of 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve.

The French Grand Prix - has Leclerc driven his championship hopes into the barriers?

The horses win in the home of the bulls

Shannon Maybury is joined by F1 journalist Ed Spencer and serial podcaster Joe Spagnoli and mysterious F1 Twitter menace Unpaid 1ntern. Looking Back with Ed.&nbsp;The 1999 French Grand Prix was won by Heinz-Harald Frentzen driving a Jordan after starting from fifth position. It was a dramatic dry to wet and dry again race. Link to classic teams with Joe. Real estate companies aren’t exactly typical F1 partners, but after sponsoring future Ferrari driver Ivan Capelli in the Japanese Formula 2 championship, Leyton House owner Akira Akagi found himself supporting a full Formula 1 team come 1987. <ul><li>Please write us a review on Apple iTunes</li><li>We have a channel on youtube, search for and subscribe to the race directors podcast to watch some of our content <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMMvcSBwwd0jFpii6JOTSQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMMvcSBwwd0jFpii6JOTSQ</a>!</li><li>Tell a friend about us</li><li>If you want to get involved in the show, please do follow us on Twitter @race_directors or like us on Facebook at The Race Directors Podcast, where we’ll be posting updates, thoughts and memes throughout the season and beyond, and please do subscribe to us on whichever platform you choose to listen to the podcast on, we appreciate your support.</li></ul>

The Austrian Grand Prix (sorry its so late)

Shannon Maybury, is joined by the soon to be blue flagged backmarkers F1 journalist Ed Spencer and serial podcaster Joe Spagnoli and mysterious F1 Twitter menace Unpaid 1ntern. Looking Back with Ed.&nbsp;Many races have been stopped early due to poor weather but few have the drama that the 1975 Austrian Grand Prix had as Vittorio Brambilla won and spun in the rain. Here’s the story of how the Monza gorilla roared and then slipped to victory. Link to classic teams with Joe. Between the high average speed, elevation and threat of rain in the Styrian hills, the Austrian Grand Prix is one of the classic venues for a chaotic race. Surprise Austrian GP wins are a common factor with Joe’s retro teams, with March in 1975 and Penske in ‘76, and this week he’s made it a hattrick with the winners from 1977, Shadow. <ul><li>Please write us a review on Apple iTunes</li><li>We have a channel on youtube, search for and subscribe to the race directors podcast to watch some of our content <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMMvcSBwwd0jFpii6JOTSQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMMvcSBwwd0jFpii6JOTSQ</a>!</li><li>Tell a friend about us</li><li>If you want to get involved in the show, please do follow us on Twitter @race_directors or like us on Facebook at The Race Directors Podcast, where we’ll be posting updates, thoughts and memes throughout the season and beyond, and please do subscribe to us on whichever platform you choose to listen to the podcast on, we appreciate your support.</li></ul>
