We’re up and running in Formula 1 for 2023 and I defy anyone to point out any differences at the front of the grid from last year. Go on, we can wait… This week on the podcast we take a look at the Bahrain Grand Prix where on the face of it, it was business as usual for RedBull again with them picking up where they left off in 2022, but what’s that fast green car doing on the podium? Yep Aston Martin appear to be legitimately quick this year after being a little (a lot) disappointing in 2022 and we (mainly Lee) get to see Fernando Alonso on an F1 podium again and maybe he could become a regular fixture again this year? There’s all the other tangents too and our first F1 weekend playlist for your delectation at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/062zfqAJFhfYeQcv7hHphZ?si=0c91dbcab9c1492d Don’t forget to  check out how you did in the prediction league and the Official F1 Fantasy game in the games section and you can also join in with us all season on Discord too, along with Facebook & Twitter and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channel Also if you want early and ad-free access to the shows and an extra show most weeks, you can subscribe to our Patreon from £/$/€1 a month Enjoy As always, you can listen here or on Stitcher iTunes Amazon and most other podcast apps too along with Spotify, Acast and TuneIn Radio on your smart speakers.
