Box of Neutrals is joined by Superlicense Podcast's Rodney Gordon and Zach Priest to celebrate Peter McGinley's ability to make his own sound effects and other developments from the 2016 Formula One season.
With Olav Mol. Ziggo Sport's Olav Mol talks about Max Verstappen fans, *that* Brazilian Grand Prix commentary, and his enthusiasm (ahem) for the French Grand Prix.
With Ben Edwards. Peter McGinley begrudgingly continues to fulfil his contractual obligations. Some world champion retires. Channel 4 F1 commentator Ben Edwards reflects on the 2016 season, though doesn't mention Placido Domingo.
With Dieter Rencken. We eulogise Lewis Hamilton's excruciatingly slow loss of his world championship, Peter McGinley attempts to make his own sound effects, and Dieter Renckens he has the flu.
We preview the last race of the season to honour the drivers who are retiring and/or being forced out of Formula One against their will, McLaren is disappointed with Fernando Alonso's progress as an actor since 2014, and some championship is up for grabs.
Max Verstappen's racing was inspired, but the Olav Mol's 'Dutch' commentary was better. Peter McGinley refuses to apologise for not satisfying his fans. We shortlist our impromptu should-have-been champions awards.
With Dieter Rencken. All the teams make their 2017 driver line-up announcements after we record, which makes our references to Home Improvement sound embarrassingly out of date. Plus Dieter renckens Ross Brawn might be the man to make F1 great again.
We reference Burgo's Catch Phrase and Gardening Australia to balance Sebastian Vettel's Peter McGinley-eque language and keep the show family friendly on average. Also, a race happens in Mexico.
McLaren prepares to thaw Martin Whitmarsh from his cryogenically suspended state, and Rob didn't manage to see the United States Grand Prix, so we talk about his sewerage problem instead.
With Murray Walker. This episode requires no further description.

With Dieter Rencken. Mercedes wins the world championship, Lewis Hamilton escalates his Snapchat addiction, and staff members at Dieter Rencken's hotel are forced to listen to a conversation about Formula One in the lobby.
Peter McGinley delivers Lewis Hamilton a championship pep talk, Michael consider the advertising value of tattoos on Formula One drivers, and Rob makes branding changes to the programme without ABC consultation.
Not much happens ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix, so Formula One gets excited about slight changes to the camber of a racetrack and Peter McGinley tells a slanderous story to liven the mood.
Peter McGinley rediscovers his love for the not-V8 Supercars while Michael and Rob engage in some Small Conversation™. Formula One is referenced on several occasions in this episode.
We display our embarrassing lack of music knowledge, Peter McGinley writes off his chances of earning a superlicence, and the ABC inaugurates the exciting new radio game 'Moustache or nose hair?'.
With Dieter Rencken. In order of importance: Peter McGinley is back; CVC Capital Partners sells Formula One's commercial rights to Liberty Media, about which we ask Dieter what he Renckens.
Peter McGinley goes on his midseason break, bankrupting Felipe Massa of confidence and sending him into retirement. Michael and Rob discuss the effect of football hooliganism on motor racing, but the Herald Sun doesn't buy it.
With the return of racing for the Belgian Grand Prix upon us after the F1 midseason break, we ask the question no-one else will: is Lewis Hamilton a weather god?
