Missed Apex F1 Podcast

With Spanners back in the saddle, no topic is safe and this week he leads Trumpets and Sparkles on a whirlwind tour of car launches and teammate battles as the plucky trio gets back to business. Who had the best chassis and pay-drivers dominate the shout past each other portion of the show and there is a moment of silence for Spanner’s memory, as he momentarily failed to recall which team Magnussen drove for (thank goodness THAT wasn’t on the quiz episode)...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join Trumpets as SomersF1 leads him on a merry journey into the deepest, darkest corners of the 2018 season's technical regulations. Ever wonder what breather fluid is? Bet you do now, and happily enough, Somers obliges by explaining all. Charge cooling, Halo, and the truly diabolical sting in the tail of the 3 PU season limit are just some of the answers that await all those brave enough to ride!! Must be 1.1 Spanners to enter....  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Spanners and Trumpets get a tour of the paddock led by none other than Fake Charlie Whiting (Mark McArdle). From Race Control to the Medical Car, to inadvertently whacking Michael Schumacher, Mark gives a behind the scenes look to the starry eyed duo, as well as the benefit of his opinions on a variety of current F1 subjects. And Spanners completely spanked Stevens in karting (Spanners totally didn’t write this sentence).  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After an extended vacation, a brand new year sees Spanners, with Trumpets and Sparkles, immediately gets down to business by being told he is wrong about the career of Kubica. Wasting no time, he then schools Sparkles over pay drivers and in a fit of kitchen sinkism, they then discuss some interviews with the likes of Chase Carey and Paddy Lowe, before actually remembering Comment of the Week.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ace Driver and Nordschleife expert Bradley Philpot takes Trumpets on an amazing journey through the intricate and complicated world of car set up both in sims and in real life. Sadly, Spanners had to miss the recording as his house was a bit on fire (don't panic, everyone and everything was safe and Spanners and family are fine) so Trumpets was left to muddle through in his usual, exceedingly verbose fashion. Not even a 14 hour workday, or alcohol laced trip to Sweden would deter Brad, however, so have a listen as he teaches Trumpets a lesson or two and drops some top tips to make your sim racing laptimes plummet like a stone.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ex-F1 Boss Matthew Carter jumps in the deep end once again with Spanners and Trumpets to discuss what it’s REALLY like to deal with Cyril Abiteboul, why Lotus was able to switch to Mercedes power after just a season (hint: they’re possibly related) and which team they almost bought to save some green (also possibly a hint). And they revisit the Magic Mercedes Mode Mystery to clear up any lingering confusion, often a necessity when Spanners is involved  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Spanners and Trumpets wrangle the panel through a carbon fibre filled look at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
