By Callum Springall Rarely has there been a device garnering so much abuse and so many threats of turned backs on a lifelong following of Formula 1. And who would have thought it would effectively be a carbon fibre tube suspended by a pillar that would manage it? That may make the halo sound a […]
By Callum Springall Ferrari took a win against the recent run of results in Mercedes’ favour at the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix which, despite coming on a track that suits the SF-70H’s characteristics, hints at the possibility of further success after the summer break. In spite of the Italian team’s woes during Friday practice, Ferrari […]
By Callum Springall Mercedes‘ Valterri Bottas took a controlled win of fine margins in Spielberg – but with a 35-point deficit to the Formula 1 championship Sebastian Vettel, does this mean that he’s truly in the hunt to become world champion? Well, not really; 43 points out of the last 50 does indicate the new […]
By Callum Springall A few years ago, it was races like the Azerbaijan Grand Prix that made me feel sorry for those that had to write about them afterwards. So, bear with me! Straight off the bat, we’ll start with Red Bull – and I didn’t think I’d be saying that this season! It was […]
Sweet lord, what have we just witnessed?! One of the grand prix greats is the answer. The pod had questioned the Baku circuit before this year’s race. They question it no more. The same can be said of F1’s Walking Weapon too, as Lance Stroll took his Formula 1 reputation to a whole new level […]

By Kyle Cumbers So we move on to round eight of the 2017 Formula 1 season and a trip back to Baku. Last year’s European Grand Prix, held in the Azerbaijani capital, was not the greatest but we shouldn’t judge a new track from one race. It didn’t help that Lewis Hamilton hit the wall […]
By Kyle Cumbers The Monaco Grand Prix creates a great debate on The NR F1 Podcast every year, over whether it’s just a gimmick race or a classic grand prix essential to the Formula 1 calendar? Personally, I fall on the side that it is essential to F1 with the history the track provides and […]
By Callum Springall It’s 1998 again, isn’t it? A scarlet Ferrari with a German driver and a silver car with a Brit and a Finn at the wheel, is enough to give most Formula 1 fans above a certain age a whiff of nostalgia. Throw into that mix the close racing and a healthy rivalry […]
By Callum Springall A Finnish driver took his first win in Formula 1, in what was a slow burner of a Russian Grand Prix – but still incredibly tense going into the final laps. For a time it seemed to be a fairly routine win for the Mercedes new boy in Sochi, and one that […]
