Hi Everyone,
Another huge bombshell has dropped as Honda have announced that will be leaving Formula One as an engine supplier at the end of the 2021 season.
This comes as a huge shock as one of the four F1 engine suppliers announce that they are leaving the sport for the third time after rejoining in 2015.
We go over the highs and lows of Honda's recent spell in F1 as well as why Honda have decided to leave and what impact this has on not only the sport going forward, but also with their customer teams Red Bull & Alpha Tauri.
And also, I would like to dedicate this episode to my co host Courtney who celebrates his 29th birthday today.

Episode #30 - Bottas' crucial Russian GP Win, Hamilton's Pre-Race penalties & Domenicali replaces Carey as F1 CEO!

Hi Everyone,
I can't say that previous Russian GPs have been considered F1 classics, and this was no exception, but could it prove to be a pivotal moment in the F1 championship?
Courtney discuss the fall out of the Russian Grand Prix where Valterri Bottas recorded his second race victory of the 2020 season, his first since the opening race in Austria.
We also discuss the two pre-race penalties for Lewis Hamilton for practice start infringements. He really does seem to get the odd penalties which once again cost him what seemed to be a likely win.
We also look into the rest of the field and look at who will happy after the race in Sochi and who will still be looking for answers.
And finally we discuss the news this week where Chase Carey has announced that he will be leaving his post as F1 CEO at the end of the year, to be replaced by former Ferrari Team Principal Stefano Domenicali. What that means for F1 going forward as well as assessing the short but incredible impact Carey has had at the helm of the sport.

We also discuss the news that Ferrari have announced that their trio of young academy stars Mick Schumacher, Callum Illot and Robert Schwartzman are to participate in FP1 sessions. The former two at this weekends German GP and Schwartzman at the Abu Dhabi GP, as well as the three of them doing practice runs in a 2018 spec Ferrari.
