Box of Neutrals

Formula One pre-empts Brexit by hosting a European Grand Prix outside Europe, Michael and Rob pre-empt the boring race review by talking about Le Mans, and Peter McGinley pre-empts going home by trying to wrap up #AskMcGinley before it starts.

Peter thanks Rob and Michael for allowing his to tweet the Canadian Grand Prix, we trial an intra-show honesty system, and this week's Ask McGinley concerns the price of beef.

With Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley voluntarily signs up to run the #ABCF1 twitter commentary for the Canadian Grand Prix. We ask Dieter what he Renckens about Rengines, which will make marginally more sense after listening.

Lewis Hamilton is #blessed, Daniel Ricciardo is #robbed, and Sergio Perez was also on the podium but not associated with any particular social media sentiment. #qanda

Sauber wants more money, Williams wants more drivers, Daniil Kvyat wants more points, and Peter McGinley wants more ownership of his intellectual property. Plus we consider the difference between pink and purple for our Monaco GP preview.

Some young guy wins the Spanish Grand Prix, but no-one's sure who he was because there was no post-race show in Australia. We make ABC Grandstand's first and probably last ever reference to Plácido Domingo.

We exclusively break the biggest news story of 2016 by revealing Max Verstappen will replace Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull Racing. Plus, despite being a mere fourth in the championship, Williams is literally saving lives of newborn babies.

There mightn't be anything about Kvyat and or Verstappen's seat swap, but there's some top-notch banter about the very relevant Pastor Maldonado and a Victorian power station. Frankly, you won't even know the biggest story of the year is missing.

Featuring Dieter Rencken. Ferrari unexpectedly makes a power unit upgrade, Williams unexpectedly runs out of money, and Peter McGinley unexpectedly headbutts his microphone, plus Dieter tells us what he Renckens about the F1's rule-making process.

Dial 'fax' for McGinley. We cast our Formula One telemovie 'Just Drive' with your excellent suggestions, Bernie Ecclestone goes on a crusade for equality, and Pirelli borrows a strategy from the Ferrari playbook to get the 2017 regulations sorted.

Jacques Villeneuve unironically tells F1 drivers to shut up, Peter McGinley is warned about tattoo parlours, and because Box of Neutrals is 100 per cent live (ahem), our preview of the Chinese Grand Prix is very, very complete.

Time zones strike again and we fail to mention that qualifying has changed (again), Peter McGinley drops a three-week old joke, and we make good on a promise for the first time in years, and it happens to be hamburger-related.

Featuring Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley says 'punce', we read your fax facts, Michael and Rob dissect Bernie Ecclestone's open telegram to the Grand Prix Drivers Association, and Dieter tells us what he Renckens about F1's qualifying shambles.

Feat. Trent Price. Peter McGinley takes the day off (even though we didn't record on Good Friday) , so eRacing Magazine editor Trent Price joins us in a lengthy discussion about how the Big Bash League isn't very similar to Formula One.

F1 is finally starting, so Craig Scarborough joins us to preview 2016 and Michael catches up with AGPC CEO Andrew Westacott to ask him about the cost of a plate of hamburgers and Renault principal Frederic Vasseur to talk to him about the colour yellow.

Qualifying has changed again, and to help fans deal with the change Formula One has hired the advertising prowess of Peter McGinley to sell its message. Nothing much else happens, so we talk about regional Australian geography to fill time.

Featuring Dieter Rencken. Peter tries to disqualify himself from the show to avoid working. Romain Grosjean has his Facebook videos taken down by Bernie Ecclestone. We ask Dieter what he Renckens for the first time in 2016.

Michael, Rob, and Peter McGinley are back with news from the new-year break for the 2016 season, which Bernie Ecclestone has already described as the worst Formula One has ever been. Get appropriately excited.

Box of Neutrals is joined by Superlicense Podcast's Rodney Gordon and Zachary Priest to discuss the state of Peter's Wikipedia page, PLUS the final #AskMcGinley of the year, including pilot episodes of 'Oh… There's a Turn Up!' and your top fives of 2015.

Rob goes missing, but he's ably substituted with Olav Mol, who delivers his now annual dose of F1 conspiracies (or konspiracies, if you're Peter McGinley) in season review chat with Michael.
