This week we went back to one of our very first episodes that was a beginners guide to Formula 1.

We blew the dust off it and updated it for the 2025 season.

Hopefully this is useful to new and old fans alike.

We cover the following topics:

1. Brief overview of F1

2. Format of a race weekend

3. Tires & Pitstop strategies

4. Flags - what do they all mean?

5. Dirty Side F1 Glossary

6. Drivers & Teams of 2025

Let us know if you’d like us to cover anything else.
