In a week of the letter K, we wade through Monisha Kaltenborn's split with Sauber, the race in Baku and the 2018 F1 Kalendar, and Peter McGinley tells a very boring story to prepare for a probably boring Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
In perhaps our least relevant episode of the year Peter is obliged to respond to a barrage of your #AskMcGinley questions. Michael and Rob, who did actually watch the race, ask whether McLaren-Honda is cooked, and we don’t talk about Jacques Villeneuve.
With Dieter Rencken. We preview the Canadian Grand Prix — or, for Australian fans, the disgusting breakfast diet grand prix. We have an unusually optimistic chat with Dieter Rencken for Whadaya Rencken, and Peter tries his hand at hardware sales.
We wonder whether Kimi Räikkönen inherited Lewis Hamilton's tag of most #robbed driver in the Monaco Grand Prix before discussion devolves into nostalgia about suburban bread factories.
BoN13: unlucky for some? Rob catches a cold, Michael gets 1996 and 2004 confused, and Peter still doesn't have his licence. We try to talk about the Indianapolis 500 but end up talking about fast food instead.
The Spanish Grand Prix overperforms, Red Bull Racing underperforms, and Peter McGinley refuses to perform — unless there's a bazooka-fired T-shirt in it for him. We pay credit to a classic TV show soundtrack.
With Dieter Rencken. We talk fake bribes, Jenson Button's fake motivation, and fake improvements to F1 car liveries, plus the elusive 'KFC Zinger Replay' also makes a fleeting cameo for no real reason.
Trent Price from eRacing Magazine stands in for Rob James to review a Russian Grand prix that can only be described as 'a race', and Peter McGinley considers the need for electrified fences in Formula One.
We commemorate the one-year anniversary of Daniil Kvyat's survival in the face of Helmut Marko, and Peter requires gratuitous use of the censor tone while butchering your selected excerpts from famous scripts.
Peter discovers a sound effect called 'sound effect' in the database, so we revive an age-old and deeply outdated radio game to name it, and we buy a personal supply of Fernando Alonso tin hats after his third successive DNF.
With Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley brings back an Irish gift for Michael and Rob, who are shocked he managed to smuggle it through customs. Dieter Rencken lays into Honda in our monthly political segment Whadaya Rencken.
Michael flies to China, where he isn't arrested for associating with Peter McGinley; Pete flies to Ireland, where there is no grand prix; and Trent Price joins Rob for the Chinese GP preview, where he is subjected to obscure Australian TV references.
With Craig Scarborough. The Australian Grand Prix is won by a car that isn't a Mercedes, Peter McGinley never comes home from the infamous Albert Park Pete's Bar, and Michael and Rob talk Ferrari's recovery and the benefits of vinyl with Scarbs.
The 2017 Australian Grand Prix Strategy Report, with Rob James from F1 podcast Box of Neutrals.
With Andrew Westacott, Rodney Gordon, Trent Price, and Abhishek Takle. We set unreasonable expectations for the 2017 season to preview the Australian Grand Prix, Peter McGinley discovers a new sound effect, and we dip our toes into coverage of US politics.
Peter McGinley is tickled pink by the upcoming Australian Grand Prix and Andre Rieu but not by McLaren-Honda's performance or the ABC's pronunciation of his name. We also talk about acid reflux and the South Pacific nation of Tokelau.
We consider just how cooked the McLaren-Honda project is, the ABC flirts with the idea of replacing Peter McGinley with CGI, and Dieter Rencken tells us what he Renckened about the F1 offseason.
Box of Neutrals returns for 2017 with a slightly new cast in vaguely different outfits, but what hasn’t changed is McLaren-Honda, Felipe Massa, or Peter McGinley's love of the letter 'K'.
