We're back from Mid-Ohio and IndyCar and what a weekend it was. The race wasn't that great but it was still a good weekend trackside. IndyCar is known for providing an incredible level of fan access and this past weekend was no different. If you haven't been over to our Facebook page to check out some of the photos and video from the weekend- what are you waiting for? In other series - the LMP1 division of WEC is down to a field of just one team with Porsche announcing that they will follow Audi

This week we're admittedly all over the place as we bounce from F1 to IndyCar and then back to F1. But since we're headed to the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio next week we had to turn out attention to IndyCar too this week. Before the weekend ended last week we got a chance to watch the British Grand Prix, and while there was some excitement towards the end - overall it was a pretty meh race... Pirelli isn't sure they'll be able to figure out what caused Seb's tire to fail - and shockingly we didn't

This week - you asked and we answered, and as a bonus we even answered correctly! You asked us about points, and we give you the lowdown on how points are awarded, from what the scale is to the difference between the drivers and constructors championships. As an added bonus we talk about race distances too. In other news - Nico Rosberg's Drivers Championship trophy was lost in the mail for a few days - our guess is that it was shipped via DHL. Are you a Snapchat user? F1 has a new partnership

This week - more talk of a new team for 2019, this one from somebody who previously launched a bid to start a team. We're closing in on the date for Silverstone to exercise it's exit clause. All signs point to them doing so, but that might not be a bad thing for the track or the sport. The power unit working group met - and there were some new attendees at the meeting. Renault is still struggling. Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Baku - need we say more? Carlos Sainz Jr thinks he won't be

First off - an apology to Channel 4's Karun Chandhok. Please don't be made at us, we really love your reporting on Channel 4....

Silly Season has started and Toto Wolff had dinner with Fernando Alonso's manager Flavio Briatore in Baku and while they spoke about Fernando, they absolutely didn't talk about Fernando coming to Mercedes in 2018

We're back! It was a great week off but now we have a lot to talk about...

Honda's still blowing up engines, and McLaren isn't amused. Monisha Keltenborne - well we have a lot on her this week. Is a rename coming for Force India? Danill Kyviat is upset at people again.

We get side tracked by donuts briefly this week but manage to get it back under control. Fernando Alonzo didn't miss race in Monaco, and beside why should he - He's shown us that he doesn't need to be in an F1 car to have a Honda engine blow up on him....

It was such a busy week this week that we didn't even realize that this was our 100th show until after we finished recording. You didn't miss anything by us being off last week - there wasn't a whole lot happening. This week however, even without Indy we would have had a full show. Surprise! F1 fans don't want gimmicks to "improve the show" Pastor Maldonado has crawled out of his cave to tell us that it's his choice that he's not in F1 and not because nobody trusts him with their car. Ross

2017/05/07

This week we start off with talking about IndyCar - not that there was anything really happening in IndyCar last week other than Fernando Alonso getting his first opportunity to get behind the wheel of an IndyCar at Indianapolis. We also have reaction to Bernie Ecclestone's sympathy tour a few weeks ago - and the comments we got weren't in support of the things he had to say. We do however support Monisha Kaltenborn's comments about a franchise system for team owners - a concept we've like for a

This week we have a question from Phil... We don't know the answer but we think our guess is pretty good... Force India thinks they figured out the aero bit that isn't working on their car - turns out its not the one we were hoping it would be. It's confirmed, Sauber will be ditching their supply of leftover Ferrari engines and instead get newer but potentially worse engines from Honda in 2018. The Strategy Group met this week, and it turns out even they're not happy with Honda's performance.

This week we hear a little from the guy that Fernando Alonso will be replacing on the grid for the Indianapolis 500.

As usual, Patricia goes away for a week and the paddock explodes... The FIA is going to create a Hall of Fame - what are your suggestions for nominees?

Bernie might buy Interlagos - and now he says that FOM charges organizers too much money even though he was the one who negotiated all of those deals. Malaysia is leaving F1 - but Turkey may be coming back? No, really, Honda has truly misjudged the competitiveness of modern Formula 1.

Before we look back at last week's race, we participated in a different sort of race this weekend at the Great Lakes Science Center. By adopting the F1 strategy of find the limits of the rules and push right up to the edge we designed a "car" that raced to a commanding victory. Did this year's Australian Grand Prix feel short to you? Well it was the shortest Australian Grand Prix ever. Fernando Alonso thinks this year's McLaren Honda is the slowest car on the grid - but at least Honda can upgrade

It's almost time - the start of the 2017 season is nearly upon us, and as promised we have our predictions for the upcoming season this week. But before we get to our predictions, first a quick look at last week's IndyCar Grand Prix of St Petersburg - where the winner came up from last place. Over in F1, Force India either got drunk and re-painted their car, or they got a new sponsor... Standing starts for wet weather is coming. Renault's engine hit it's testing targets apparently. McLaren had

The cars are on the track for the first time in 2017, and as expected it was a mixed bag with some teams meeting and exceeding expectations - and others ending up much worse than planned. But before we talk about testing, we have news that F1 will continue to head to Sochi and Montreal until 2025 for Sochi and 2029 for Montreal. Pat Symmonds is joining Sky Sports F1 commentating team. Liberty Media lifted the restrictions around filming and social media during testing last week - and may do so
