Sidepodcast: F1 Debrief - We're not quite ready to let you infiltrate the racing

Sidepodcast returns for a new year of podcasting, starting with a discussion on the big news this week - the potential changes to qualifying. Whilst the exact details are still unknown, we delve into the topic with relish, pondering how on the face of it the changes seem minimal but as you dig deeper, you find many people who will be affected by these session structure tweaks.

Sidepodcast's 2015 break takes a break of its own as we hustle a quick podcast out the door regarding the FIA's recent statement of a potential refuelling return. As big fans of refuelling before it departed, we now discuss our mixed reactions to the possibility of a return and ponder just what the governing body are thinking with their latest batch of changes to the sport.

Happy New Year from Sidepodcast

A message of thoughts and thanks ahead of a brand new year

Sidepodcast: Happy New Year from Sidepodcast

by Christine

2014 was a year of new beginnings, with new engines, new champions, new drivers and new challenges. Formula One was reinvented to give the sport purpose, to keep it relevant to the changing world. We ended up with distasteful looking cars, but they certainly delivered out on track. The revamped regulations and the modern machinery provided drivers and teams with a huge challenge to surmount, and it was intensely entertaining to watch it all unfold.

Our final show of 2014 bids farewell to the year and looks ahead to the future of Formula One. On this show, we discuss the ultimate F1 gathering, a questionable Lotus entry and the race that surprised everyone. We pore over the 2015 calendar, and take a quick look at the entry list - figuring out what it might mean for everyone included. We ponder the penalty changes, those that are more lenient than before, and those that have become more harsh, and also take a look at the revised (again) safety car regulations.

F1 Debrief - The perfect Bond villain name

Ferrari's major changes and their potential for 2015

It's hard to believe that Ferrari have been through three team principals this year, but at the start of the season they had Stefano Domenicali in place, with Luca di Montezemolo overseeing him. We roll quickly through the season to see how those two lost their jobs, and then fast-forward to today, recapping the driver changes (both race and test), plus the big engineering reshuffle as well.

F1 Debrief - Like the FIA listen

A review of the season with radio clips and randomness galore

Sidepodcast: F1 Debrief - Like the FIA listen

by Christine

A bumper show rounds up our review of the 2014 season, with a very useful hat of randomness. All the highlight and lowlight topics of the season were placed into the hat, and then we drew them out one by one to discuss how Formula One fared this year. Subjects up for discussion include Grosjean's Singapore meltdown, a clear case of home advantage and how early Vettel started to struggle.

Adam joins us to review the driver of the season results

To review the driver of the season ratings, we're joined by Adam, author of the Class of the Field column here on Sidepodcast. We discuss the best driver of the season, who has a chance at another title, and just exactly what is going on at Force India. Adam gives us his thoughts on the season as a whole, what the results would have been if Formula One was a single spec series, whether Ferrari or McLaren will see another champion any time soon, and picks out just one highlight from the very long 2014 season.

F1 Debrief - He occasionally sneaks up there and has a word

McLaren's testing progress and driver selection ahead of 2015

by Christine

McLaren broke their silence to reveal their driver line-up for 2015, so we thought we'd do the same and discuss their situation as it stands. With Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button taking centre stage, we ponder how their relationship will fare with the stresses and strains that the season will no doubt bring. We also evaluate the test driver roles at Woking, and who has the best job - Stoffel or Kevin.

With another feedback round up on the cards, it's time to discuss why Anthony Davidson should make a comeback, who is enjoying too much champagne, and talking less... and more. We start with some feedback after our last show, with listener thoughts on Mercedes, on Caterham, and on our opinions on both. We also review where Bernie's next destination of choice might be for the ever-expanding race calendar.
