“Send us a Hey Now!”

We find ourselves in an off week before the F1 circus rocks up in Japan.

Therefore this episode features a Japanese GP preview as we look towards how we think the current cars will perform on the Suzuka track.

In addition we have an amazing feature where we decide which 80s TV show would each team be because why not!

It's a huge blast down memory lane as we decide which characters the drivers would be and do it all to the back drop of theme music!
