Beyond The Racing Line - Formula 1 Podcast

IT'S QUIZCAST LAUNCH DAY. Yes we have been working away on some podcasts you can enjoy while we all manage our isolation. Grab a copy of our official QUIZCAST game sheet in the previous post, or just shout along with family, friends, or while you drive along. Take on the boys head to head as we have some fun and recap the 2019 season, pub quiz style and find out who has the brains, or lack of. And for those traditionalist don't worry we have a short news segment attached to this week.

We are back in what seems to be the longest pre season of our lives. With so many cancellations and postponements the BTRL boys are one thing you can count on. You would think that there wouldn't be much to talk about in the F1 world, but you would be wrong. This week we dive into news and the speculation about what the next season may look like, sprints, short season or super-season? We give our best F1 recommendations as the world lives in isolation, hear what the boys have been doing to fill the F1 gap, we would love to hear your suggestions. Roger has invented a new segment. We would tell you what it was all about but we still haven't quite figured it out ourselves. All that plus just a little more on this week's ep of BTRL.

The F1 and Motorsport world is in the lurch as the recent cancellation of the Australian GP has left us with more questions than we can possibly answer. This week's episode tackles some of those. We look into driver contracts, will there be movement without racing, many drivers may find it hard to more or be moved on with current form, where can you see drivers going or are we locked in a stalemate? Car development will take a major hit too, with Ferrari locking the gates what rules are now in play with car development? Invest a short amount into 2020 or lengthen the 2021 regulation change? We play the role of team boss. A long with this and much more we talk news, gossip column and answer our fan posed question and create our own fantasy 2020 calendar! Who was on the money and who got it horribly wrong. And although the season is yet to kick off don't fear we are going nowhere. So stick around and we post, chat and talk all things F1 is the ever going lead up to 2020. #btrl #f1

The Boys have had their first day back in the happy spot, a Formula 1 Paddock. Catch up with this episode to get their thoughts on all the big issues and a lot of very little issues.

THE WAIT IS OVER Yes time to come out of hibernation F1 fans because we are back. So much to talk about this week. Its been a week of highs and lows so far and yet not a single piece of rubber has hit the Albert Park surface. From world health to Ferrari engines the past week has had it all. On this weeks podcast we talk news and the potential threat to this weekends racing, what does it mean for fans, racing and the immediate and long term future of the 2020 season. All that and more and we pack our bags and prepare to hit the paddock.

It's time to gear up as the countdown to 2020 is on. This week the boys give their pre-season predictions. F1 Fantasy is ready to launch and for those of you who tune into this week's ep and sign up via the code announcement, a little prize could be coming your way. 2020 also means we are back in the F1 paddock as we take to the track, garages and all things glamour, got a question we can pose for you, keep an eye out for your chance to tell us who you want interviewed and what question you want asked.

PODCAST EP! Yes we are back and as you know its livery week. This week the boys keep it simple and critique each livery so far, plus we chat, gossip and take a sneak peek at some technical noticing of the 2020 challengers. But keep an eye out as our new livery reveal, logo and imaging is released this week ready for season 2020, and if you haven't caught last week's episode head over to iTunes and take a listen. That's this week on BTRL. #f1

Formula 1 is back, well almost, but that is enough to get the boys out of hibernation and about time too. In this pre-livery release episode, the guys chat about all the big news coming from the off season and make predictions about the changes we are about to see. Thank god F1 is back, even if it isn't really.

That's a wrap for 2019. Join us this week for a special end of season full review as we rank every team, every driver, find our BTRL Driver of the year, Dud of the year and many many other highly sort after, but extremely underwhelming awards. Thanks to everyone who has been on the journey this year, we couldn't do it without our fans. So sit back and enjoy the last ep for 2019 of Beyond The Racing Line.

It's lights off and away we go, yes that's it for the home and away season of 2019 and didn't we finish with an absolute blinder?! No, the answer to that is no we didn't, in fact we were as disappointed as a fat kid in a fruit shop. Yes Abu Dhabi was the name of the game. But don't worry the lack of on track action was negated by fuel gate, with Leclerc under investigation pre race for a 5kg diff in fuel the Ferrari boys were doing everything they could to spice up this soup, with fuel as it turns out. This week we talk farewells as we say goodby to the season, the drivers of some and DRS, even though it came back. As always race reviews, news, fantasy, dud of the day, we begin the 2021 driver seat swap nice and early and yes you know who talks Fernando Alonso, all that plus a sneak peek into our upcoming off season and end of year episodes where you can be a part of our awards episode. All that and more on this weeks episode of BTRL. 

Like a lung transplant patient waking for the first time, we too have finally caught our breath. Yes the Brazil GP has been won and run and boy oh boy it was one for the ages. This week we talk......well everything, literally everything. In the home of the great Ayrton Senna, we talk Max Verstappen, the drive of his career? We talk Mercedes failures, another victim of hot conditions? We talk Ferrari collisions, who was at fault? We talk Williams and Haas, embarrassments of the sport and we talk podium, the one that got away, the won that didn't and the one that was awarded, taken away, held off, awarded and then handed out! Lets be honest if you have no idea what we are on about this week, then you might be a candidate for the podcast! All that plus fantasy, driver rankings, dud of the day news and we get scientific talking OEM's and Hydrogen refuelling, fancy! All that plus much much more on this weeks episode of BTRL! 

Let's talk about 6 baby, lets talk about Lewis and Valtteri, let's talk about all the good things and the bad things....yeah you know the rest. Yes it's podcast week and no don't worry we haven't turned musical. It's the American GP, and yes it was Hamilton who took his 6th world title. Can he match Schumacher? or even surpass him? this week we chat about our fondest Hamilton memory, unpack the new regulations, talk driver swaps, race ranking, Tristan hits us with a triple crown in Dud of the Day and we welcome back Justin, does this mean he had a great Fantasy weekend? All that plus fan questions and much much more as we begin to wrap up season 2019 on BTRL.

From Maxico to Mercico, the Mexican GP was a spicy battle as we fired up for another race weekend. Yes we are back and so is the world champion as he rose (via a hydraulic platform) to the occasion and took the most unlikely of victories in Mexico. The red peppers of Ferrari looked to have it in the bag on Sunday but in true Mercedes fashion the tacos were taken when it mattered. This week we are a man down, possibly due to food poisoning, a few too many tequilas or the simple fact his fantasy was as attractive as a bowl of guacamole, never the less we pushed on without J this week. We look at the race review, talk tec, throw a cheeky driver rumor into the air and finish up with a serving of driver rankings and news, all that plus much much more as we begin to wind down on season 2 of BTRL.

The winds were howling in Suzuka and it wasn't just off the track, as Typhoon Bottas took hold and left destruction in his path. The toll...one Ferrari front wing, two mirrors, a Williams, young Norris and the Racing Point of Perez as the damage cost was estimated in the way that only daddy Stroll could afford. Yes its race week. This week the boys are fired up and for once the drivers and teams are not in the firing line. Hurricane Roger sweeps through and takes heavy aim at the stewards, Tidal wave Tristan washes over some of the finer points of the race and Monsoon Justin fills our ears with the stats that made our race weekend. All that plus race review, driver ratings, fantasy, and much much more. All on this weeks episode of BTRL.

As your mum would always say, do as you're told! But that's not the case if you drive for Ferrari! Yes it was Mulit 21 revisited, or as you could say Multi 165 before Sebastian's MGUK sent him straight to bed without any dessert. But that's not the case this week as we are on our very best behavior serving up a double, triple scoop of F1 goodness. This week we discuss the happenings of the Russian GP, the race that was and then was not, team orders yes / no /maybe, we unpack the news, grill Roger on his dismal fantasy efforts and much to your delights sprinkle your ears with fan questions, all before we tuck everyone in with a hot serving of the future qualifying format, you don't want to miss that. All that plus much much more on this week's ep of BTRL.

Singapore was run and won, but it wasn't the red baron we all expected as Vettel pulled of (an accidental) strategy masterstroke. Yes it's Podcast night and we have a big show in store. Like the front runners this week we are going to pace our way through practice sessions, qualifying, race review and when the time is right, or when J cracks his beer, we will let loose. This week we are on a scavenger hunt of epic proportions. We go searching for Leclercs strategy, try to find the Redbulls downforce, look for Bottas 2.0, scrounge around for Hamilton's missed podium and ponder what happened to full speed racing! All that plus much much more on this week's ep of BTRL!

Mama mia pepperoni, yes its Monza weekend. Leclerc served up a spicy win for the Tifosi on home soil, Vettel and Stroll took a tango across the circuit that and we saw one of the most chaotic qualifying sessions that was more disorganised that the spaghetti in nonnas pasta dishes. This week we delve into the rise of Leclerc, is he officially the real deal? We also take a look at what has brought Renault to life, take a spin on the driver merry-go-round, race review, driver rankings and fantasy.

We came we saw and we left Spa with memories that would last a lifetime. This week the collective F1 world put its arms around each other as we raced for Anotine. This week the boys reflect upon the weekend that was Spa. Charles officially arrived in F1 with a gritty win, while Norris arrived a lap short gritting his teeth, Max took a trip down memory lane as he collected the Ice Man and Albon showed us why he could very well be the right bull in the pen. As always we dive into news, race reviews, race rankings, fan questions. dud of the day and we slot our first coin into the driver merry-go-round as the silly season for seats hits second gear. All that plus much much more on this weeks ep of BTRL

It's the mid season break, but the boys are hard at it. Well sort of.... Actually we have some concerns. Wattsy has taken up bird watching by the fire and Tristan has been spending some quality time with his cat, and only his cat.  In this sanity saving episode, the boys unpack the Redbull meat grinder discuss the new regulation sneak peaks and all the news. They also line up all the team mates and pick their winners to this points. Roger (not ours) gets his questions answered and they enjoy a bit of self promotion. Bring on Spa! Please bring on Spa....

TOOLS DOWN! Yes its summer shutdown once again for the F1 circus but not before we are treated to yet another thriller. This time the hunter caught the lion as Hamilton and Mercedes pulled off the strategy of a lifetime to snatch the win from the jaws of the Dutch Lion. This week we theorize, hypothesize, ponder, wonder and ponder all of the possibilities that was the Budapest GP. Race review, driver rankings, fantasy fans questions and keep an ear out for our new segment idea, if you hear it we want to know your thoughts, all that plus much much more (except our summer plans, because its winter here) on this weeks episode of BTRL.
