Box of Neutrals F1 Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Horde
Michael Lamonato, Rob James and no-one else valiantly attempt to create approximately 30 minutes of F1-adjacent audio that is both vaguely informative and mildly amusing, often failing spectacularly on both counts.

Hey Hey It's Saturday was a long-running variety television program on Australian television.

Its host throughout its entire run was Daryl Somers, who would later become executive producer of the program. The original producer, Gavin Disney, left the program in the 1980s and Somers then jointly formed his own production company, Somers Carroll Productions, with on-screen partner Ernie Carroll, the performer of Somers' puppet sidekick Ossie Ostrich. On 25 July 2009, the Nine Network announced the show would return for two reunion specials in late 2009 and hinted if they rated strongly, the show could return full-time. The first reunion show aired on 30 September 2009 and the second on 7 October and both won the ratings on their respective nights. On 7 December 2009, it was announced that the show was planned to return in 2010 with a speculated run of 20 episodes. During the 2010 premiere on Wednesday 14 April, it was indicated that the 20-episode run would be split into two groups, with a break between them, and the second group was broadcast on Saturday nights from 16 October 2010 with the season finale on 27 November 2010.

Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels for your chance to vote on the bills passed in this rambling parliamentary session.
Michael and Rob meet up with Rod Gordon and Zach Priest from Superlicense F1 Podcast for some salt and vinegar chips and our annual awards as well as some predictions that are almost immediately proved wrong.

Daniel Abt and Daniel Abt speculate wildly on Sebastian Vettel's future, the state of Renault's finances and whether AFL-style tanking will come to F1.
Ferrari blows up the driver market, Daniel Ricciardo blows up Cyril Abiteboul's heart and the news cycle blows up the timeliness of our podcast.
In an episode powered by the speculative Italian media, we ask why Sebastian Vettel's contract talks have stalled and why Bill Gates is suddenly despised.
Australia and New Zealand are the same place. We talk a shocking amount of IndyCar for an F1 podcast. And tenpin bowling gets a mention.
The 2020 French Grand Prix gets stuck in traffic, Helmut Marko gets his coronacamp at the Red Bull Ring and Michael and Rob are too old for TikTok.
Is Austria the New Zealand of Germany? Is Australia the Malaysia of F1? Who is Samuel Newman? These are men, they are orange and something has happened to my brain and I have to go.
We catch up with Mat Walker and Rhys Gardiner from the Race for Relief to debrief Rob's highly noteworthy iRacing debut, plus we cross live to our cryptocurrency correspondent and old podcast rival.
The gossip edition of Box of Neutrals asks these burning F1 questions: Is Rob still in the toilet? Who's pregnant now? And where have you camped unusual?
The F1 teams are putting their engineering nous to good use, so we ask: where have you baked carbon fibre unusual? And we get around Race for Relief to support Australia's bushfire-ravaged regions.

Michael catches up with Racer'sChris Medland and Box of Neutrals old mate Abhishek Takle to talk about the race that never was.

We catch up with old mate Olav Mol to discuss modesty in Dutch commentary, Nico Hulkenberg conspiracies and, as always, the French. Plus we finally name the winners of Formula McGinley 2020.
In light of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton's absolute domination in Abu Dhabi we discuss what delivery time frame qualifies food to be considered fast food as opposed to just regular food.
Rob accidentally takes annual leave, Michael befriends some birds and Formula One releases a unique fungus(?) onto the Bitcoin market or something.
Great race, shame about the time zone. Charles Leclerc's car takes a dive, Lewis Hamilton is unexpectedly honest and two more drivers get a podium before Nico Hulkenberg
Antonio Giovinazzi gets a new contract and Ferrari might be cheating, but the real question on the public's lips is: who (or what) is Peter McGinley and where can he be found? We go through some of your perplexed McGinley-themed responses to our listener survey.
The prepenultimate round of the season begs the question: could Ferrari be the least competent cheater in F1 history? And is Nico Rosberg addicted to video blogs? Also, Lewis Hamilton wins another championship.
Mario Achi, 'handbag land' and VB longnecks โ there isn't an angle of the Mexican Grand Prix we don't cover in our race review (Lewis Hamilton won).
Did you win a pair of Heel Tread motorsport socks for filling in our listener survey? Has F1 finally done a deal to race in Miami? Is the 2019 season almost over? The answer to some of these questions in this week's Mexican GP preview.

Sebastian Vettel somehow wins a race, Romain Grosjean is somehow re-signed at Haas and William Storey is somehow still in control of the Rich Energy Twitter account.
We consider how underwhelming Ferrari will be in Singapore, who will win the battle between Romain Grosjean and Nico Hulkenberg for a seat at the underwhelming Haas team and why any changes to qualifying will likely only whelm at best.
Who was more cooked at the Italian Grand Prix: the F1 TV director or Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari career? Plus is Nico Rosberg really the new Jacques Villeneuve? And if so, what happens to the old Jacques Villeneuve? And what about John Newhouse?
Charles Leclerc finally wins his first race on a day Ferrari somehow managed to avoid making any mistakes, but the weekend is overshadowed by the death of F2 driver Anthoine Hubert.
F1's back, so your weekends are gone for the rest of the year. The bowels of the driver market are starting to move, plus we consider which all-time classic midfield team principals should lead a supposed new team set to enter in 2021.
Formula One continues to be on break, so we make up a championship to discuss โ but we end up talking about musical instruments and Mick Schumacher (unrelated) instead.
Helmut Marko crushes the spirit of yet another young driver, but at least it's not announced after we recorded this podcast (just). Meanwhile, nothing else of note happens in Formula One.
Lewis Hamilton wins, Max Verstappen almost wins, Valtteri Bottas is cooked and Pierre Gasly is absolutely roasted. Ferrari also took part in the race but doesn't deserve a mention.
Max Verstappen crashes Mercedes's 125th-anniversary party after Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas both crash in the crashing rain at the German Grand Prix and something has happened to my brain and I have to go now.
Daniel Ricciardo goes to court, William Storey goes to court and Romain Grosjean is sentenced to at least one more race in a Haas car.
Formula One attains its peak form thanks to the Rich Energy saga, Sebastian Vettel crashes again and Silverstone puts on one hell of a grand prix. Shame everyone was watching the cricket.
Michael and Rob talk all-time great breakfasts, the new F1 2019 game and why we deserve some free DLC, and middle-aged British men taking off their shirts for no reason. We dive into the Box of Neutrals McArchivesยฎ to celebrate the soon to be renewed British Grand Prix.
F1 is saved by a ripper Austrian GP, so we can all stop pretending we don't watch the races anymore. Michael has lunch at a truck stop. Rob uncovers more from The Warmup Lap archives.
Nothing happened at the weekend. You know it. We know it. Everyone knows it. Let's just call it a non-championship round.
E Racing Magazine editor Trent Price joins us to start a moratorium on discussing Fernando Alonso for at least the next seven days after the Spaniard wins Le Mans for the second time this season. Meanwhile, has anything happened in Formula One this week? The answer is no.
Everyone needs to settle down. Just relax. Be calm. It's just a race and another Ferrari loss. Chill. Please.
Could Nico Hulkenberg go to Red Bull Racing? Is Sebastian Vettel about to retire? We have no idea, but not much else happened this week, so we speculate wildly ahead of Mercedes's victory at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Mercedes scores another one-two (again), Ferrari messes up team orders (again) and we wonder how long F1 should wait before introducing a doping world championship to make racing less predictable.
Michael and Rob consider what happens to F1 motorhomes when they die, wonder how cooked Ferrari is and don't lament the apparently impending loss of the Circuit to Barcelona-Catalunya from the calendar.

Trent Price from eRacing Magazine joins Michael and the empty chairs not filled by Rob or Peter to talk about the psychological effects of engine failure, spinning in the heat of battle and being French.
There's never been a better time to talk about cigarettes, and Michael does exactly that, among other topics, with Dieter Rencken from RaceFans.net. Rodney Gordon from Superlicense F1 Podcast steps in to substitute for political prisoner Rob James and the mysteriously absent Peter McGinley.
We're joined by F1.com senior writer Lawrence Barretto and journalist Abhishek Takle to dissect the Valtteri Bottas win than no-one except Michael (by accident) predicted. Rob finds some money on the ground. Peter McGinley takes an early holiday ahead of his second home race in Bahrain.
After protracted legal negotiations with Peter McGinley's legal team about his hours of work and dress code, Box of Neutrals is back for 2019 with a special-length Australian GP preview, and to balance out the (relevant) chat about cigarettes and alcohol, we're joined by ESPN's Laurence Edmondson and Racer's Chris Medland to preview the 2019 season.

Dieter tells us what he Renckens about the state of F1 politics in 2018, Lance Stroll makes the least surprising driver announcement of the season and Peter McGinley goes to the cricket.
Brendon Hartley is beached az, Peter McGinley reveals(?) he knows nothing about car mechanics and we announce the winner of the inaugural season of Formula McGinley.
Michael, Rob and Peter are happily reunited just in time to talk about 3D printers, Advent calendars, Russian aerospace company Tupolev and anything else that isn't the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
We release the Brazilian GP Review podcast eventually. Michael's still away, Rob is recovering from the flu and Pete is recovering from mowing the lawns. Oh and Mercedes win another championship.
Like a Red Bull gearbox, we're down to one gear in the box. But Michael asks what Dieter Rencken from RaceFans.net reckons.
Somehow, both Rob and Michael decide to have a โrostered show offโ - so Peter is running the good ship Box of Neutrals - without any form of driverโs or boat licence. Meanwhile, Michael plays foreign correspondent and catches up with crash.netโs Luke Smith from a park in Mexico City.
Rob claims Superlicense Podcast's Rodney Gordon as one of our own, Pete confuses laconic for lethargic, and Michael invites Crash.net F1 editor Luke Smith into the Box of Neutrals echo chamber.
Rob talks the great names of Formula One, Peter McGinley talks about the AFL calendar, and Michael asks Dieter what he Renckens about the all-female W Series.
Lewis Hamiton takes championship point over Sebastian Vettel, Peter McGinley reads your haiku poems, and old mate of the show Trent Price gets lost with a Japanese sat nav.

Lewis Hamilton cooks Sebastian Vettel's title chances, Formula One prepares to welcome back the Torpedo, and Peter McGinley provides some genuinely useful consumer advice.
Charles Leclerc gets his promotion to Ferrari, Kimi Raikkonen returns to Sauber, Esteban Ocon seems destined to lose his place in F1 and everyone forgets what happened to Stoffel Vandoorne.
The European season ends with Sebastian Vettel losing the championship initiative after Italian GP organisers used the wrong anthem on the starting grid before the race. McLaren chooses to field its first winless full-time driver line-up since 1995. Peter McGinley doesn't turn up for the show.
Force India is replaced by Force India, the halo saves the Belgian Grand Prix and we play stocks down, stocks down [sic] for Stoffel Vandoorne.
Just when you thought our timing couldn't get any worse after a chaotic midseason break, we miss the announcement of F1's (technically) newest team to enter the championship. But we do ask Dieter what he Renckens about the (formerly) Force India situation and other political goings-on, and Peter does his best Rob James impression.
Another week, another badly timed episode of Box of Neutrals. We talk to Ben Edwards about everything up to Fernando Alonso's F1 retirement โ and his weird retirement video โ and Carlos Sainz's move to McLaren. Peter McGinley confuses 'Holden' for 'beer'.
Daniel Ricciardo goes to Renault, Force India goes to Lance Stroll, Williams goes to Centrelink and Olav Mol goes so far as to say Romain Grosjean should've stayed Swiss. Hopefully this podcast dates more gracefully than last week's show.
We try to buy Force India with Peter McGinley's credit card points but it turns administrators don't take American Express. We channel our inner consumer affairs commissioner and talk low-level scams and frauds that we've become caught up in and discuss the definition of 'mincemeat'.
We discuss the trifecta of interesting small talk: international freight, Hey Hey It's Saturday and traffic. Meat cuts also get a mention, as does the German Grand Prix, but to a lesser extent.
Michael doesn't send a postcard but does send back an interview with RaceFans.net's Dieter, who Renckens this weekend could well be the last German Grand Prix for the time being. Rob and Peter celebrate the anniversary of the first F1 shoey.
Turns out football isn't coming home, Michael isn't home yet, and Sebastian Vettel wins in Lewis Hamilton's home (grand prix).
Football's coming home, Eric Boullier is told to go home, Michael is still away from home and is Formula One looking for a new British home?
Rob and Pete review the French Grand Prix by talking about Freddo Frogs while Michael previews the Austrian Grand Prix by sampling Viennaโs Viennetta. We ask the age-old question: โWhat is that thing?โ.
Red Bull Racing confirms it's hot for Honda, completing Formula One's most unusual love rhombus with Renault and McLaren, but Dieter says he Renckens there's more to it than just unadulterated horsepower. Peter buys a new jumper.
Australia's number one Formula One journalists (self-awarded) talk mostly about the 24 Hours of Le Mans, IndyCar and whether Peter would look good with a beard. We revive the quiz, but it was a terrible mistake.
Despite what we say, Daniel Ricciardo might not have a grid penalty (thanks, Adrian Newey), Brendon Hartley might not be replaced by Pascal Wehrlein (thanks, Lando Norris) and Mercedes won't use new engines (thanks, Peter McGinley). Some other things we say are still relevant.
Daniel Ricciardo puts in his career-best drive to finally win the Monaco Grand Prix, which Lewis Hamilton describes as the most boring race ever and for which Fernando Alonso says F1 should refund tickets, probably because neither of them won. Ferrari is accused of cheating (again).
In the lead up to the biggest race/procession on the Formula One calendar, we consider which obscure Australian circuits Fernando Alonso could defect to instead of racing in Monte Carlo and ask why Red Bull Racing would be testing a MotoGP rider.
F1 politics expert Dieter Rencken discusses the prospect of a Miami Grand Prix. Michael, Rob and Peter, experts in nothing, talk Catalan politics, the 2012 F1 season and Albanian badminton โ anything except the very straightforward Spanish Grand Prix.
We speculate wildly about what a Honda-powered Red Bull Racing might mean for Formula One, #yourABC curses Fernando Alonso's career and Nick Heidfeld rates a mention for some reason. Plus Peter brings back everyoneโs favourite segment: Plunger Chat.
Michael, Rob and Pete disagree about the Baku Red Bull Racing crash, then agree Daniel Ricciardo will leave RBR next year, but then disagree about where he's going, and Finnish commentator Niki Juusela gets a mention to balance out all the Australia chat.
Peter practices his active listening, Rob practices his live sound effects and Michael practices spelling Azerbaijan. Plus a surprise new entrant enters the Formula McGinley ring.
Daniel Ricciardo's cryptocurrency-like Chinese GP weekend ended in a good day post office profits, but where does McGinley merchandise fit into it all? Plus Michael asks Dieter what he Renckens about the F1's proposed post-2021 regulations.
For the second Chinese Grand Prix in a row Michael hasn't been deported from the airport, Rob talks football and F1 analogies, and Peter dishes out questionable race-themed culinary advice.
Featuring Rodney Gordon. We discuss panel operators losing their $90 million prize money bonuses and what sound an F1 'flash in the pan' makes, plus Peter McGinley lives the shock jock dream by walking back some accidentally controversial comments.
Carlos Sainz wins the inaugural Aussie Battler award for his Australian GP performance, we talk lamington varieties, and the first KFC reference of the year makes an appearance.
Michael and Rob are joined by Luke Smith from Crash.net and Trent Price from eRacing Magazine to preview the Australian GP by talking about the new F1 theme and the World Endurance Championship.
Dieter's back to tell us what he Renckens the politics of F1 2018 has in store, Michael and Rob reminisce about car-themed carpets and Peter reminisces about his run-ins with plungers.
Formula E makes the halo look good, Honda makes Toro Rosso look good and an obscure souvlaki-related reference could make F1 look good.

Due to a lack of popular demand for their removal, Michael Lamonato, Rob James and Peter McGinley are back for the 2018 F1 season to talk about the mechanics of mass-producing wall calendars, Peter's superannuation account and anything else that isn't the halo.
Featuring Rodney Gordon and Zach Priest from Superlicense Podcast. We give out our off-brand awards for the 2017 season, and to close out the year we talk about AFL football.
Featuring Dieter Rencken, who manages to talk about both the weather and commercial contracts in the year's final Whadaya Rencken, and Trent Price, who confronts Michael and Rob about stifling Peter's career despite McGinley not turning up for the show.
Featuring Ben Edwards, lead commentator for C4 in the UK. We reflect on the 2017 season, on whether Ferrari can survive without creating a crisis and, briefly, on the new logo and why we shouldn't talk about the new logo.
Robโs graphic design degree gets a workout as we decide whether F1's logo reveal was exciting enough to reverse the effects of the least exciting season climax in recent years (it isn't) and we ask what Santa McGinley might be gifting this Christmas.
As the most visual show on radio we use audio to analyse F1โs newly trademarked logos, but to balance it out Peter sings a Christmas carol to close this weekโs podcast.
COMPETITION: Send us your best F1 logos for the chance to win a Peter McGinleyยฎ 2018 calendar.
Featuring Lawrence Barretto from Autosport. Peter questions the validity of Rob's rostered show off, Pirelli creates a new Softy McSoftyface tyre compound, and we consider the future of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Ferrari threatens to quit F1 (again), Felipe Massa retires from F1 (again) and Peter McGinley is absent from the show (again). Plus Dieter Rencken reveals that he's actually South African, disqualifying him from ever sitting in the Australian Parliament.
This year's championship is rated on the patented flogometer, we receive a leaked recording of the proposed 2021 power units that sounds suspiciously like a recycled joke, and Peter's professionalism is called into question.
We revive the mythical Bathurst Man after Formula One's dalliance with pre-race driver introductions, and Peterโs McGinley's union steps in to curtail this week's recording after a number of Ferrari-esque technical failures.
Michael and Rob are mysteriously absent from the potentially title-deciding USGP preview, so Peter and special guest host Trent Price reminisce about their plunger-related pastimes (not a euphemism).
McGinley talks about his theoretical calendar exploits, Rob pays tribute to his F1 2016 teammate Jolyon Palmer and Michael asks Dieter what he Renckens about dyed blonde hair.
Peter imparts his wisdom regarding power sockets and instant coffee, Rob peaks behind the curtain of last week's show and Michael invokes the memory of the Maldonado era.
Michael sweats it up in Malaysia, Peter McGinley fondly recalls the day he left his mark in Sepang, and Rob discusses with Trent Price his life regret of not learning to play a musical instrument.
We ask whether the championship is over six rounds from the finish and how we might keep McGinley interested if so, and we have an extremely visual discussion that we find funny but probably makes no sense on radio in retrospect.
Michael sweats profusely in Singapore at the time of recording while Peter and Rob talk about Meat Loaf at the time of recording, and Dieter tells us what he Renckens about McLaren and Honda, even though it hadn't happened at the time of recording.
The Italian Grand Prix underdelivers, Peter McGinley gives some dating advice, Michael talks about the word 'froth', and Rob walks through some of Box of Neutrals's lesser-known sound effects.
Michael tries to embroil Formula One in a dual citizenship scandal, Rob practices his German accent and Peter forgets most of the current Formula One drivers.
In a week of underwhelming driver announcements, Peter McGinley (reluctantly) has his name thrown into the ring. Plus Volkswagen criticises F1 (again) and we talk about toilets (again).
We look back at the good, bad, and IndyCar of the 2017 Formula One season, after which Peter McGinley reflects on his brief career in community journalism and his new haircut.
We bring in the first week of the enforced midseason shutdown with Dieter Rencken and Trent Price in a discussion about the seismic movements in the broader motorsport world while Peter McGinley talks about Pringles.
We speculate about Paul di Restaโs rapid rise back to F1 after some people became ill, Robert Kubica's single-day test becomes more noteworthy than an entire grand prix, and we ask McGinley what he thinks about halo.
Box of Neutrals gets Kubica fever ahead of his first modern F1 car test, Rob asks Peter more about his digestive system than you'll ever need to know, and Michael goes to Magyarorszรกg for the nagydรญj.
Peter says he's allergic to work, Michael makes the show's first reference to Jerome dโAmbrosio's in many years, and Rob catastrophically attempts to pronounce Magyar Nagydij.
Feat Dieter Rencken. Peter gets excited about schnitzels, Rob eschews the radio microphone for your common or garden-variety mobile telephone, Michael is still in Europe โ but he's not in Mykonos โ and Dieter renckens McLaren-Honda might not be over yet.
Sebastian Vettel's visit to the FIA this week has been all the rage, so naturally we spend most of our time talking about Jolyon Palmer and Robert Kubica, at least one of whom isn't a Formula One driver. We donโt confuse Austria for Australia.
Michael makes travel plans based on the wrong calendar, Rob learns to spell Azerbajian (sic) and Peter confesses to a concerning story about his conduct at a 60th birthday party โ and none of them sideswipes a car in the process.
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 donโt talk about Jacques Villeneuve.
With Dieter Rencken. We preview the Canadian Grand Prix โ 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 Rรคikkรถnen 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 โ 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.
Once you've heard Peter's renditions, visit the website to review the original in all their obviously inferior glory (and uncensored swearing).
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.
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 hasnโt changed is McLaren-Honda, Felipe Massa, or Peter McGinley's love of the letter 'K'.
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.
Hear the full Murray Walker interview by subscribing to ABC's Motor Mouth podcast, featuring Box of Neutrals's own Michael Lamonato alongside Yassmin Abdel-Magied โ http://bit.ly/MotorMouthABC
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 Conversationโข. 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?
Michael returns from his trip to find Peter has become a QC and Rob has forgotten the names of some Formula One drivers despite Box of Neutrals being a largely F1-based programme. Nothing else of interest happens.
With Dieter Rencken. Peter McGinley finds a new theme, Rob James talks about his dry lips, and Michael Lamonato asks Dieter what he Renckens about European trucking logistics.
Rob is accused of hijacking his own show, Peter is accused of panelling without a licence, and Michael is accused of disrespecting the boot.
With Craig Scarborough. Michael interviews respected technical expert Craig Scarborough to Budapest's most glamorous F1 hot spot, Peter talks about soiled pants, and Rob reminisces about radio news themes of eras past.
Rob makes more references to radio personalities from other stations than is probably reasonable, Peter McGinley makes more references to Neighbours, and Michael makes reference to Fernando Alonso's marital status.
With Dieter Rencken. Michael is mistaken for Peter by a Dutchman, Peter makes some political jokes, and Rob makes an unsolicited reference to the Beatles, but none of this matters because this is a radio show and therefore probably banned by the FIA.
Peter returns from Macau, where he tells us there's a famous race sometimes held; Michael travels to a UK fish and chips shop to attempt to reverse Brexit, or, failing that, for the grand prix; and Rob gets his fix of Lyndsay Buckingham for the season.
Peter McGinley is replaced by the Peter McGinley 1000โข, Michael and Rob argue about what Europe is, and we revisit what Dieter Renckened about the Brexit effect on Formula One.
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 Plรกcido 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 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.
Read Dieter's columns in Autosport and F1 Racing magazine.
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 'Ohโฆ 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.
We ask Dieter Rencken what he Renckens for the final time in 2015. The FIA meets Eurovision. Peter McGinley checks out. We add Phil Taylor to Ted Kravitz's share house for the pilot season of "Oh, there's a turn up!".
Featuring Craig Scarborough. The 2017 regulations make no sense. We make a lot of noise about noise, Rob has a confession to make, and there's a new F1-based sitcom to get excited about.
Mark Webber wins his world championship in some other category, Vijay Mallya's Twitter following comes under suspicion, and shocking facts are unearthed about Peter's family in #AskMcGinley.
Lewis Hamilton was robbed of victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix by some other driver, and frankly we couldn't find it within ourselves to talk about anything else at all in the face of such an injustice.
Peter McGinley doesn't delete this episode, in which the US Grand Prix is in trouble, Lotus is in trouble, and anyone in the AEDT time zone is most certainly in trouble.
James Bond drives a Force India, Dieter tells us what he Renckens about the FIA/Ferrari (Mexican?) stand-off, and we review the grand prix, which was also Mexican.
SPOILERS. We reveal the winner of the 2015 drivers world championship. Enthusiasm for the early-morning Mexican Grand Prix is limited. Peter McGinley tells an obscure radio joke.
No one is excited to get up in the early hours of the morning to watch Lewis Hamilton win the title in the fourth-last round of the year, so Peter talks about rugby league and we consider the price signal in the postage system.
We talk to Dieter Rencken about crusty pies, we lament the underwhelming 2015 #PUTINWATCH, and the Russian Grand Prix surprises in its watchability.
F1 is for sale, but not really; Honda will have a new engine in 2016, but not really; and Good Morning Australia gets more Formula One coverage than Mercedes, really.
Manor builds a Frankenstein car, Jenson Button likes Formula One after all, and Le Mans moves to Azerbaijan, or something. Plus Michael direct from a dodgy internet connection in Japan because he felt it would be impolite to leave.
Michael, otherwise known as Box of Neutrals' 'bouffant on the ground', is on the ground at Suzuka to preview the Japanese Grand Prix while Peter and Rob contemplate which phrases we have a penchant for overusing.
Featuring Australian GP CEO Andrew Westacott. Renault half commits to Formula One and Manor half commits to Roberto Merhi. Plus, which presenter of the show brings out the racist gong? The results will shock you.
Happy New Year! The Italian Grand Prix review: we spend a disproportionate amount of time talking about George Lucas because, let's be honest, not much else happened during the race. That tyre thing gets a mention, too.
Istanbul becomes home to the worldโs most exciting carpark. Nico Hulkenberg re-signs at Force India for some reason. We give away some things we found in the cupboard that no-one else seems to want.
We play the Wheel of Renault, Patrick Dempsey makes the jump from WEC to F1 (sort of), and Peter McGinley exercises self-censorship for possibly the first time in the history of the programme.
Featuring Ben Edwards and (more) Olav Mol. We discuss whether the new clutch rules might put Mercedes' title hopes at risk (they won't), and Peter gives some helpful consumer advice about fruit and vegetables shopping.
Featuring Dieter Rencken and Olav Mol. We consider the various obscenities employed by Kimi Rรคikkรถnen in our midseason review with Olav Mol, while Dieter cracks open the 2015 driver market to feast on the goodness inside in this month's Whaddaya Rencken.

Bernie Ecclestone threatens Monza, The European Union threatens Bernie Ecclestone, and Peter McGinley threatens the European Union. Plus Honda says it is unloved, and Rob predicts Ferrari using Renault engines.
The EU Commission launches its investigation into Peter McGinley, we speculate whether Daniel Ricciardo would look better dressed in red, and one amongst us has a startling confession to make about the Canadian Grand Prix.
Featuring Dieter Rencken in his regular political segment โWhaddaya Rencken?โ. Plus Manor is flush with cash the week FIFA goes under โ coincidence? We consider F1โs latest mystery in preview of the Canadian Grand Prix.
We review approximately 10 laps of the Monaco Grand Prix in which Lewis Hamilton wasn't robbed, Max Verstappen wasn't crowned world champion, and Peter McGinley wasn't divorced. Someone mentions the Kardashians but weโre not sure why.
Lewis Hamilton starts measuring his salary in GDP. The GPDA invests in telemarketing. No strategy group decisions and no fifth engines make F1 something something. We call Drunk Bogan Friend and realise he doesn't know anything about motorsport.
Michelin takes a swipe at Pirelli, Pirelli takes a swipe at the teams, and Peter McGinley takes a swipe at Red Bull. We review the third annual Pastor Maldonado Grand Prix.
Featuring Dieter Rencken in his newly-title monthly segment. Box of Neutrals celebrates its five-year anniversary by forgetting about its five-year anniversary. Lewis Hamilton is accused of being an extra-terrestrial.
With no racing to keep us occupied, we solve all of Formula Oneโs problems and use the time left over to discuss unionism, free markets, and state politics. #AskMcGinley gets highjacked by golfers.
Peter McGinley celebrates Bahrain as his home grand prix. Rob invents the Liam Neeson scale of race quality. Michael empathises with the world's fax machine manufacturers. PLUS your chance to win McGinley's doodle.

Michael and Peter journey to the Malaysian Grand Prix, where they were never concussed nor had any problems with their hire car, except when the steering failed and were subsequently medicated. Unless McLaren says otherwise. Featuring Trent Price.

Featuring Australian GP CEO Andrew Westacott. Box of Neutrals returns in 2015 to discuss both the potential effects of Australian F1 coverage moving to subscription television and the qualities of Peter McGinley's haircut. Oh, how good it is to be back.
