Multi 21 Race Team Podcast: Recent Episodes
Multi 21 Race Team
The Multi 21 Race Team Podcast hosts Marty, Scott and Aaron navigate through all the issues facing Formula 1 mostly, and often divert into other motorsport disciplines. They provide sometimes-funny, usually irreverent, and an unapologetically Australian take on F1 and the motorsport world.
Half-way through the season and feelings of F1 overload are beginning to kick in. In looking back at the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, we put together the definitive list of F1 engine blowups, who we'd hire if we were a struggling team at the back of the grid, and which circuits we're glad to be rid of (and which ones we want back).
This week we talk about the absolutely cracking British Grand Prix. So naturally we end up talking about why we should hold F1 races at the LA Coliseum, characteristics of the cars if Walkinshaw was a proper manufacturer, and Madams goes behind the scenes of the British Grand Prix broadcast by telling us about the 1938 Ashes series.
Our expert insight and analysis of the highly complex and fast-moving world of Formula One is on fine display this week. We reach an unequivocal verdict on the race, match drivers to Subway sandwiches, revisit the debate of dud first corners of F1 race circuits, and basically end up with a high quality podcast that is definitely not a waste of 37 minutes of your precious time.
What happened at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix? Marty and Madams debate street courses vs road courses, porpoising, and sore backs. There is a head-to-head comparison of Lewis Hamilton and Nigel Mansell, and Madams reasons that Chris Pither deserves a McLaren F1 seat.
Normal service resumes this week as we attempt to talk about the Monaco Grand Prix. Madams alienates female listeners by dropping some Monty Python references, Aaron alienates listeners by threatening to bare his arse, and Marty alienates listeners by just being himself.
We forgot to record a podcast episode this week, but thankfully Multi 21 Race Team member Scott Long saved the day.
(Note: There is some clipping of the audio in the recording of this episode, but we thought we would share anyway.)
It's all about the Miami Grand Prix this time around! But we don't need Will Buxton to dramatically tell us that in a piece to camera. Is this the future of Formula 1? Why aren't Croftyisms as entertaining as Murrayisms? Also, we find an even better piece of television than Martin Brundle's gridwalk.
This week it's all about the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, and Formula 1's first Sprint weekend of the year. Just like the weekend, this podcast is full of non-stop ACTION, including the weirdo points system used in the 1950s, whether Aaron gave Lando Norris some driver-coaching tips, and who we can lay the Multi 21 curse onto next.
This week we talk about the Australian GP and cover the most important topics like: What season are they watching around Alpha Centauri? How many times can Madams make reference to Ken Tyrrell? What's an Amscar?
This week we talk about everything that happened during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, including how Günther Steiner might actually be the old lady from Titanic, how you can fit in the full 9 minute version of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Fanfare for the Common Man" into a race broadcast, and how Clive Palmer is just Aaron dressed in a fat suit.
This week we provide our usual brand of insightful and thoughtful analysis of the Bahrain Grand Prix, we celebrate Aaron being right and Creepy Madams makes an appearance.
We're back! On this very Formula 1-themed podcast episode, we preview the 2022 season by tackling the biggest questions facing the sport: Is Latifi still an F1 driver? Is Matt Adams wearing his dad's shirt? Is Alain Prost or Yuki Tsunoda shorter? Which team is going to get the "silent fart" award? Who can deliver the most tepid of all the tepid takes on the 2022 season? Join Marty, Aaral and Madams to find out the answers to these questions and more!
It's the final episode of the year! Madams and Marty go through each of the F1 teams to deliver the usual brand of unnecessarily harsh criticism or tepid takes (sometimes both), then talk about key moments of the year. What was the best moment? What was the best win? How many times is Theirry Boutsen namedropped in the one podcast episode?
For no reason whatsoever, we decide to resume our podcast now that the Formula One season has ended. Is it because the last race ended in such controversy? Hard to say. But in this episode, you can hear us float a few absolutely rational and well-thought-out conspiracy theories, some tepid takes on Michael Masi's decision making, and Marty's dog having a drink.
This week we talk about the Dutch GP, a new possible commentary team for Formula 1, Cadillacs (for some reason), and the F1 silly season.
Classic Multi 21 Race Team analysis of the season so far in the midfield: Lance Stroll's portrayal on Drive to Survive, Fernando Alonso's hat is too big, Nigel Mansell didn't fit into his McLaren cockpit in 1995, and Patrick Tambay crashed in 1981 at Ceasar's Palace, not South Africa.
Vettel gets DQ'd, Ticktum gets the arse, Madams gets to finally reference the Condommodore, and Aaron gets liquid sprayed on him. Exactly what you would expect from part one of our mid-season F1 review.
Aaron and Scott go hard on a conspiracy theory. Marty succumbs to peer pressure. Madams wants to race backwards. Nico Rosberg shows off his white trousers.
This week, coming at you from what will someday be an Olympic city, we talk about niche sports, odd flavour combinations, swimming, and also what we forgot to talk about on last week's show. Later, we look ahead to the Hungarian Grand Prix, and what should fill the gap left by the now-cancelled Australian Grand Prix.
This week we talk about whether or not Sprint Qualifying was a success, and that incident. In a highly informative episode, Marty is accused of lifting Speedcafe comments, Aaron details his ideal iRacing series, and Madams talks about a bloke named Lester Smerden.
This week we tackle the big issues: What kind of watch does Lando wear? Why does Formula One hate Australia? Is Sprint Qualifying going to be any good? Marty wants to buy a Stoffel Vandoorne shirt, while Madams commits to a Zakspeed hat. Aaron just buys his whole wardrobe from the merch tent.
Meanwhile, Scott makes a bigger contribution to the show than he has done for at least three months.
This week we cover the Austrian Grand Prix, soak up Aaron's tears over another cancelled Australian Grand Prix (but, in true Multi 21 Podcast style, come up with a solution that is better than Albert Park anyway), and a new voice enters the chat.
This week we talk about the Styrian Grand Prix in all its.... glory. We determine what makes an F1 driver great, and also ask how we got to the point where these spectacularly fast race cars that can pull over 5G in corners are so dull to watch. Later, we fix Supercars. Again.
This week we talk about the French Grand Prix. Marty thought it was dull, but the others didn't. Marty blames it on the family-size pack of Tim Tams. Later, we talk about the track changes to Albert Park and Yas Marina. And we also try to fix Supercars' existential crisis.
This week we preview the French Grand Prix, but instead talk more about the following two races in Austria and what the organisers should do if they're going to have two races at the same circuit. We also propose a proper Multi 21 Race Team-certified solution to track limits (and a couple of other pressing issues). Also, make sure you catch Aaron explaining what unsprung mass is!
This week, between the growing number of new conspiracy theories being floated by Scott and Aaron, there is a bit of an argument about the red flag situation at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Pirelli's marketing strategy is brought into question, and we wrap up everything F2 from Baku... including the guy with the worst attitude in the world.
This week we are pushing the proverbial up-hill. Aaron takes a week off, and in our predominantly Formula One podcast, we spend a lot of it talking about Indycar. Scott is low on energy, but eventually gets fired up.
This week we recap the Monaco Grand Prix, and feel a bit torn between the quality of racing and the spectacle of race cars in the Principality. Scott turns out to be an expert on throttle maps and an impassioned Aaron christens a Formula 2 driver with a new name. Later, Scott walks out so we get a special guest in to cover for him.
This week we preview the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, get sidetracked by retro liveries, and hear all about Scott's old VZ Calais. Later on, we take a look at Indycar, and declare Morgan Park to be the best circuit in the Southern Hemisphere.
This week, we talk about the Spanish Grand Prix, including who is the firmest number two and who the star performers were. (Although Scott didn't hear the question.)
Later we touch on Supercars, V8 SuperUtes and S5000 again. We also talk about spinoff podcasts, what constitutes the perfect cup of tea, and we have a call from Goonta.
This week, over a refreshing cup of peppermint tea, we talk about all the things that happened at the Portuguese Grand Prix, the good performances and the bad, and find a few more motorsport conspiracy theories to chuck around.
Also, Scott unveils a dual-purpose dessert treat and fibrous way to keep you regular.
It's a conspiracy-heavy episode this week, with various theories about F1 teams, and later even in development categories like Indy Lights.
Otherwise we take a look at the upcoming Portuguese Grand Prix, a possible replacement venue for the Canadian Grand Prix, and Daniel Ricciardo's mention of a possible Australian double-header makes us hopeful for our biggest idea we've ever had.
And yes, we get cranky about Sprint Qualifying.
This week, Aaron gets fired up about the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. We talk about the Lewis and Max battle, the Bottas and Russell incident, and of course L4NDO. Later, we find that there's been a promotion in the Multi 21 Race Team ranks, and take a look at the Supercars round from Tasmania.
This week we take a look ahead at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, talk about the potential changes coming with the 2025 set of regulations, Scott gets cranky, and Aaron has hoons in his neighbourhood.
Also this week is the next instalment of Chode Chat, and we find a way to fund a Grand Prix around the streets of Caboolture.
This week is a slow news week in F1 (at the time of recording). So after giving F1 conversation a red-hot go, we end up talking about making the S5000 category as great as it deserves to be.
Later on, Scott gives us a full debrief on his Bathurst 6 Hour team experience, which serves as a stark reality check for any motorsport fan.
On an absolutely packed episode this week, we review all the talking points from the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix, all the talking points from the Formula 2 races, and see how we all stand after round 1 in the F1 Fantasy League.
Later, we meet Scott's mum in a brand new segment, carefully consider some listener correspondence, and make a special announcement about this year's Bathurst 6 Hour race over Easter.
This week we talk about the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix season opener, the new circuit for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and Marty gets cranky at the F1 Fantasy website LIVE on the podcast!
Later, we recap the Supercars round at Sandown and talk about the conundrum that faces the S5000 category.
We're back for another season of F1 and general motorsport ridiculousness! This week we present a form guide for the upcoming F1 season, talk a lot of nonsense about liveries, and have a rather honest discussion about the prospect of F1 sprint races. Later, we pay tribute to the legendary Murray Walker, and then look at what's happening in the motorsport landscape close to home.
Just like last year, we talk about Calder Park quite a bit as well.
It's the end of the season! And this is the final episode of 2020. This week, we cover the little actual F1 news that broke during the week, Scott gets in a fanboy tizz about meeting a rival/superior podcast host, Aaron wants to go on a nudie run, and Marty tries to re-shape the 2021 calendar by only using circuits that he likes. Later, we take a bit of a look back at the production of the M21 Podcast throughout the year and lift the veil for the listeners. Finally, stay tuned at the end for a fun appendix to the season.
This week, we cover the dullness that was the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. But it's not all bad news - Marty and Aaron also hatch a plan to make it better in the future. We revisit our predictions for the season that we made waaaay back in our first couple of episodes, and discover that one of us made great predictions, another was somewhere in the middle, and the final one of us did terribly. Later, we declare a Formula 1.5 World Champion, and name our drivers of the season.
This week we look at the second last race of the year from Bahrain's short Outer Circuit. Scott actually watched this one, so we were able to briefly come across as knowledgable and insightful for perhaps the third or fourth time this year. Buoyed by his short track vision providing for a good race, Marty pitches for the British Grand Prix to move to the 1.9km Brands Hatch Indy circuit (157 laps of madness!), and later we take a look at the final races for Formula 2, and we see what has hit Longy's ballbag this week.
Plenty of talking points this week. We talk about Romain Grosjean's horrific crash, Lance Stroll's roll, and then Marty gets stuck into our special guest Goonta Steiner (who is definitely not Aaron) over his driver replacement this weekend. In other driver talk, we cover who should fill Lewis Hamilton's seat now that he's struck down with 'rona. Scott pitches an idea for a new reality TV show and Aaron's Formula 2 wrap-up is interrupted by Bill Lawry and Tony Greig.
With three rounds still to go, we look ahead at where the F1 field is at, and also take a look at the last two Formula 2 rounds. We also talk about football, basketball, ice hockey and baseball in this podcast about motorsport. Later, Marty pens a love letter to dual-cab utes.
We take a look back at the Turkish Grand Prix weekend by having a chat about goats, and deciding that all F1 races need to be held on tracks with crap surfaces. Scott invents a bold new direction for Formula 1, and later we all take time to appreciate the very special moments that bring us all together as a community.
Big questions on the future answered this week, such as: Will the 2021 F1 season get off to a similar start to this year? Is Aaron the secret driving force behind a second Australian F1 Grand Prix? Is it stupid to have 23 F1 Grands Prix in a year? How many cars will Lance Stroll crash into this weekend? What's a Challenge Bathurst? Tune in to find out the answers to these questions and more!
This week, in an especially highly-informed episode, we talk about the fallout from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, how it's funny that some people have different accents depending on where they grow up, and what services Aaron could provide Red Bull. Scott and Sweet Les go to great lengths to wind up Marty, and later on Scott gets bullied.
This week we take a look at the fallout from the Portuguese Grand Prix, including Lando's vocabulary, Albon's future, and the most miserable man to stand on a podium. Meanwhile, a game of Winding Aaron Up breaks out, and Scott gives an expert analysis of the Indycar season finale. Later, we talk about the fallout of Penske leaving Supercars, and settle the debate once and for all about which is the biggest gronk Australian state.
This week we preview the upcoming Portuguese Grand Prix from the Portimao circuit by determining the worst timezone to live in to be an F1 fan, our favourite motorsport events, and then address the latest round of bonkers F1 rumours doing the rounds. Later we take a look back at the Bathurst 1000 event that was, give our take on the new Supercars Gen3 regulations, and address a few social media comments.
Our boy Danny Ric finally does it! We review everything that happened at the Eifel Grand Prix, including hot topics such as Nico Hulkenberg's jocks and Honda-powered light aircraft. Later on we preview this weekend's Bathurst 1000, and Scott says some things that our lawyers recommend we should probably bleep out.
What does Honda's exit announcement from Formula 1 mean? What should the sport do with regards to manufacturer involvement? Should we be stopping F1 teams from copying each other? We answer these tough questions on this week's podcast and, quite frankly, our solution is probably better than any solution anyone has ever had for any problem. Meanwhile, Aaron speculates about car numbers and we all talk about a punchup at a karting race. Oh, and we preview this weekend's Eifel Grand Prix.
This week we recap the events of the Russian Grand Prix, and answer the burning questions of whether Lewis Hamilton is too much of a whinger, whether Renault is now better than McLaren, and whether Carlos Sainz is now driving to a Ferrari standard. Meanwhile, Marty goes to great lengths to prove F1 is as exciting as it's ever been by showing how the championship would look if the top three drivers were excluded from the results. Later, Scott takes a look at the latest Supercars round and we determine the best format for the summer Supercars eSeries by talking about the worst shopping centre car parks in the country.
In this week's episode the team takes a look at the most impressive and unimpressive bits of the F1 season so far, and Aaron somehow guarantees that Esteban Ocon will score a podium. Meanwhile Scott recaps the latest in Supercars and Marty writes a love letter to Le Mans. Later, Scott and Marty talk about how to solve broadcast rights problems while Aaron thinks that we'd actually make a good commentary team (??).
This week we recap the best bits from the Tuscan Grand Prix, even though somehow Scott didn't find it that interesting. There's chat about red flags, our boy Danny Ric getting the commentator's curse, and comparisons to hire kart racing. Meanwhile, we celebrate an otherwise great weekend for Australian motorsport and talk about what the future holds for Oscar Piastri. Later, Marty tries to get everyone excited for the Le Mans 24 Hour race this coming weekend.
This week we talk about victoire pour Pierre Gasly, along with the other talking points from the Italian Grand Prix (spoiler: There's a bit going on). Does F1 need reverse grid races? What should you do during a red flag? And what's the latest in F2 and F3? Also, Scott fills us in on the latest Supercars action by talking about a golf movie.
This week, we cover the two main talking points of the Belgian Grand Prix: What on Earth is happening at Ferrari, and Daniel Ricciardo giving us something to cheer for. Also, there's some chat about the Outer Circuit at Bahrain, and we spend far too long arguing about whether or not blue flags on ovals is a good idea. Later, we cover the main points in Supercars in Townsville and decide whether The Bend is a great place for the race.
In this week's Multi 21 Race Team podcast, we take a look at the new owners of the Williams F1 team, the ban on party modes, and then Marty puts forward a controversial opinion on Spa. Later, we take a look at the Indy 500 and the latest in Supercars, then Scott puts forward another controversial opinion on Scotty Mac.
Marty is back and order is restored. Except we accidentally talk about MotoGP, which makes Scott cranky. Eventually we get back on track and cover all the talking points from the Spanish Grand Prix (spoiler alert: There are none, so we talk about options about making Formula 1 more exciting instead). Meanwhile, Scott gets a bit ranty and Aaron gets a bit salty.
When the Marty is away, the mice will play. And play they did! Join Scott, Aaron and special guest Hannah as we dissect the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix; discuss Bent Viscaal's affect on Formula 3; and what's Marty's occupation. All this and more, in this week's edition of Box Of Neutrals our podcast that is not in any way trying to be as funny as other podcasts.
In this episode we cover the main talking points of the British Grand Prix, and ask what's up with Sebastian Vettel? Aaron also gets mercilessly bullied due to his soft spot for Nico Hulkenberg. Meanwhile, Scott defends Victoria's honour yet again and we talk about why Queensland Raceway is unlikely to host Supercars this year.
It's our first week off, and we all feel as though we've smashed a family pack of Tim Tams. Has Lance Stroll earned a place in F1 on merit? Should Scott pair a Lando Norris bucket cap with KFC-themed Crocs? Should Townsville host two Supercar races on a street track? Is Marc Marquez a maniac for getting back on a bike so soon?
In this episode, we review all the events of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. The podcast hits its stride with some scintillating chat about brake ducts and the weather. We also forget it's the 21st episode of the M21 Podcast. Oops.
In this week's podcast, we talk about all the action from the Styrian Grand Prix. From the wet qualifying and supports, to the two Ferraris trying to hump each other, to "that" move on Friend of the Show™ Daniel Ricciardo.
We also falsely assume Supercars is going to be stuck in NSW (the curse of timing strikes again), and Scott defends his peanut butter + Vegemite delicacy.
F1 is back, baby! With a special guest (even more special than fourth Multi 21 Race Team member Sweet Les), we run through everything that's happened in the world of F1, coronavirus and even a little bit about Supercars in Australia. Also in this episode, Marty does his best to knock Victorians down a peg or two, but the two Victorians on this podcast aren't having any of it. Meanwhile, special guest "appearances" from the CEO of Supercars team Erebus, and Guenther Steiner.
Political turmoil is everywhere, but at least race cars are back! After the excellent Supercars racing last weekend, we cover the latest talking points in Formula One ahead of their return to the track. Aaron and Marty get into some scintillating lap time chat, but knowingly throw in some factual errors for fun. Meanwhile, Scott and Marty get stuck into the calibre of online comments on motorsport websites.
(Be warned, this episode gets a bit sweary in parts.)
This week, we revisit our Formula 1 form guide as we get closer to the season actually beginning in Australia. On top of that, Aaron does his best to alienate our audience, and Marty hatches a plan to put a regional circuit in Queensland firmly on the motorsport world stage.
In an effort to stop Aaron and Marty counting corners on race tracks to debunk myths about whether they're ovals or not, Scott finds some very interesting information on Wikipedia. In a belated gesture of gratitude, Aaron helps Scott find his soulmate.
What happened in this episode? Probably some chat about F1's proposed aero handicap rules, some other circuits F1 might race at this year, the Kingston Park kart track in Brisbane, and real racing gradually returning.
This week: We have a Formula One season to look forward to again! What's going on with Williams? Who are the worst sponsors? Should we have reverse grid qualifying races? Scott and Marty soon get distracted and end up talking about beer. On advice from our legal counsel, we've also had to bleep out some less-than-flattering things that were said regarding no racing driver in particular.
This week: Scott gets slapped in the face, the latest in Marty's F1 conspiracy theories, Aaron gets a bit sweary, and Scott hatches a plan to engage A Current Affair. Later on, Scott and Marty talk about racing with no manufacturer support... and end up with a bogged Jimny.
This week, we talk about Danny Ric's move to McLaren, we try to scoop who's going to fill the seat at Renault, Scott eats a family size packet of Tim Tams, and Marty gets travel tips to help navigate Western Sydney.
This week, we somehow conclude that Nico Hulkenberg is the best choice for Ferrari, we debate the merits of earring a family pack of Tim Tams in one sitting, and 'Murica gets a mention. Marty is sick of the Supercars eSeries, so schools Aaron on how to drive sub-40 second laps at Indianapolis, and Scott speaks French to us.
In this week's Multi 21 Race Team Podcast, Marty educates Scott and Aaron on what it means to get a nasopharyngeal swab and why having one every 48 hours would definitely keep him away from the F1 paddock. Some sensible (!) chat about the F1 budget cap, and Supercars' future commercial woes is more than offset by digressing into the life of race control at Queensland Raceway and what cars we'd enter into the 24 Hours of Lemons.
In this week's Multi 21 Race Team Podcast, fourth M21 Race Team member Sweet Les is not on the phone as usual. Meanwhile, the F1 2020 schedule changes again, and Ferrari threatens to quit again. Scott and Marty try to wind up Aaron, as we find out his true feelings towards Lando Norris. We also figure out the best one-make series in the world. Additionally, there's record number of bleeps in this episode, because we can't afford lawyers.
