It was looking like we wouldn't be able to get a show in this week, but we had so much to talk about after such an eventful Russian Grand Prix that we juggled things around and got something recorded. As a bonus, we're even up earlier than we normally would be. Once again Formula 1 surprises us. After a pretty dull Russian GP last year and a rather run of the mill Japanese GP just two weeks ago, we didn't really expect much from last weekend's race - but even FP1 had things to talk about.

We admit it, this year's Japanese GP was rather... dull. Thankfully after the race there was plenty of other things happening to distract us. This week we're talking about Fernando Alonso and his future with McLaren, Jenson Button and his future with McLaren. Engines - again. Tires - again. Lotus getting bought by Renault - again, and next year's calendar.

This year's Singapore GP was definitely one of the odder races of the year. From Mercedes stunning lack of pace, Ferrari's win and Red Bull's second it was a result that nobody would have expected going into the weekend. But the strangeness didn't end there, there was also the guy who went for a stroll down the track, unnecessary team orders given to Max Verstappen with just two laps to go - and Max refusing those orders, and a rowdy Ferrari got in trouble for their post race celebrations. Things

We started off our weekend this week with a trip to the racetrack... Not the Marina Bay Circuit in Singapore but the Nelson Ledges Road Course in Garrettsville OH, with full access to the track from Race Control to the paddock and event the start/finish tower with The Boy throwing out the checkered flag at the final Moto Series practice session of the day. This week we were treated to another Bernie Brainwave with Mr E telling us that Mercedes is scaring away new teams (and potentially calling

Has it been a little quiet around here is it is just us? No worries, we're back after a week away with plenty to talk about. While as a race, this year's Italian Grand Prix was a little tame, there were plenty of stories around the edges to get our attention, and plenty to keep our eyes on in the coming weeks... Honda's leadership should consider not boasting to the press about the performance of their engines, sadly we're still talking about tires, and while there may not be many drivers in play

The big story coming out of Spa this year - tires. We thought we were done talking about them, but between Williams' bizarre pitt lane error that resulted in Valteri Bottas driving on a mis-matched set of tires to Sebastian Vettel's post race comments, we can't ignore the tires this race. Was Ferrari's tire strategy in Spa too aggressive, or was it something else? Could the drivers' failure to obey the track limits be the issue? The other big story - Lotus. Romain Grosjean had a fantastic race,

Racing is back! Although we had a lot to talk about before we got to the race - and as we recorded we still hadn't had a chance to watch the race... But Phil asked us over on Facebook how we watch the races, because he's hit the breaking point with NBCSN's coverage, and we share what we do to get better coverage of Formula 1. As a bonus you can also use that method to get other UK programming as well... And BBC, if you're looking, if you came up with a way for us to subscribe to iPlayer or pay

F1's summer break is almost over, and as we'd expect the stories from Formula 1 are getting weaker and weaker. Mercedes has looked at their poor starts and concluded that there are a lot of reasons why things went badly in Hungary. Patricia is following F1's "dream teams" And we're waiting to see the latest iteration of Force India's 2013/2014/2015/2016 Formula 1 car. Since it's a slow week, we step away from Formula 1 for a bit and take a look at the Wink home automation system. It's a very

What did you do during your summer vacation? Williams shared with us a video of what they've been up to. Head over to our Facebook Page to check it out. Even though there's not much happening right now, there were a few things to talk about, like a possible deal for future races in Monza, the future of Valteri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton in another Race series, Bernie Ecclestone on Carmen Jorda and women in racing, and a robbery at Jenson Button's vacation rental.

First off - an apology. This week our sound quality isn't what we like it to be. This is the second show we recorded with our new podcast rig, and without realizing it an important setting was off resulting in a show that doesn't sound as clean as we want it to be. But we know what happened and that we need to watch out for this in the future so we don't expect to have this problem again. Last week's Hungarian Grand Prix certainly gave us a lot to talk about. The only way this result could have

A long show for your this week - first a little Formula 1 talk and then some talk about our recent trip to Bermuda. Unfortunately we start off with some sad news as the F1 community mourns the loss of Jules Bianchi 8 months after his crash in Suzuka which left him in a coma. Jules' death is a reminder that despite the comments that F1 is too easy, or that there's not any risk in the sport - that the opposite is actually the truth. We also discuss the latest Silly Season rumors, and a recent

This week the Aston Martin/Red Bull story gets another twist... And we have to wonder is Jenson Button staying at McLaren for 2016, or is he going? Ron Dennis says he's staying, but does that make it a done deal? Everybody is second guessing Williams' strategy calls last week - and we've got some great audio from Williams as those calls were being made.... And Mercedes causes everybody to get a warning from the marshals...

If you just looked at the results of this week's race, it looks like everything went exactly like many expected it, and that this was a pretty dull processional race. The truth is, this week's British Grand Prix will be one that will be talked about for years.

The hills were indeed alive last week as the Formula 1 Circus came to Austria, and as it left it was clear that Silly Season has definitely begun. And apparently it just wouldn't be a 2015 season discussion unless we talked more about the rules - and found yet another thing that modern Formula 1 seems to be missing.

Thank you folks at topgear.com for giving us a new Pastor Maldonado focused game to play. Going forward, we'll be playing Maldonado Bingo every race! You can get your playing card by going here... We're still talking about Monaco this week because - well there wasn't much else to talk about. However, we do have a bit of audio from the race that wasn't included in the global TV feed, some audio that paints a little bit of a different picture to what we initially thought happened under the safety
