The Tyres
Formula 1 is back, and so are Gom and Das! In this episode, we discuss perhaps the most important part of a racing car - its tyres. Understanding tyres adds a whole new dimension to enjoying Formula 1 races. Our hosts talk soft, medium and hard slicks, wet weather tyres, Pirellis and "tyre...

The 4-1-1 on Watching Formula 1 (...Races)
It's time we untangle all the typical, yet somewhat confusing, things that come up between lights-out and the checkered flag. From track limits and safety cars, to DRS and tyre compounds, Gom and Das go through some of those questions you get shushed for asking while the race is on!

The Racing Line Part 1
Ever wondered why Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo and their peers don't just hug the inside edge of the race track? It's clearly the shortest way around but instead, F1 drivers all seem to follow a different line through the corners. In this episode of F101, our hosts explain…
