As Daniel Riccardo's return dominates F1 headlines, we reacquaint ourselves with the grid's 2nd Australian driver, review the fortunes of F1 teams in recent times, and we walk the red carpet in a stat-studded Superquiz.

220. Dan's back in pog form

Can Red Bull sweep the season? Is a new tyre war on the horizon? Will Ricciardo's commentary stint be part of a return to F1, or another step away from it?  And is it a brand new day for the Superquiz...

219. Hold my balls, honey

Come one, come all to the social event of the season! Nothing makes you feel older quite like wrapping up a cool decade of your niche podcast. We wind back the clock for some formative impressions before winding the clock forward again and sinking our proverbial teeth into the issues of the day.

218 - Rod and Zach's 10th Birthday Party

We shake off the Spring-break cobwebs to reflect on the horrorshow that was Melbourne, deliver a healthy reality-check for Mercedes' title expectations, and war-room Felipe Massa's 2008 tilt for the championship.

217. Felipe Massa's Legal Eagles

Will 2023 be another Verstappen landslide? Just how low is the cope at Mercedes? And how can the Ferrari boys follow-through on their fast starts?

215. Easy pre-seasey

Well, well, well, look who has come crawling back. (It's us.) They said it couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't be done, but we're covering two huge eps of Drive to Survive and to ensure those purple sectors we're kicking things into 1.5x.

Double Dare to Swear - S04E08E09

Like the star atop a Christmas tree, such is our end of season celebration episode with old mates... Box of Neutrals! Hear which team principal dismissal perplexed us the most (at the time of recording) and we remind you all to stay hydrated, look after yourself and we'll catch you in 2023

214. F1 Awardables 2022 (w. Box of Neutrals)

Perez vs Verstappen, who is right? The answer might surprise you. Like overtakes? Tyre suppliers hate this one weird secret. And it's a Black Friday buy-one-get-one free deal in the Superquiz.

213 - Push Perez to overtake

Get the skinny on Red Bull's cost cap penalty, Hollywood's brush with F1, fixing the broken in-race penalty system and set a record time in our speed-run Superquiz. (Please don't suspend us, Elon.)

212. F1's greatest snubs, flubs and practical jokes

An F1 podcast for the Drive to Survive era. Old mates Rod and Zach explore the sometimes bewildering world of Formula 1, through the highs and lows, and politics and personalities.

An enjoyable show - humor, F1 insights, and funny accents (to a Southern California ear).

Good times at high speed

Love the podcast

Superlicense F1 Podcast -- A different look at Formula 1

The people have spoken. You voted for a Driver of the Day that the podcast deserves, but not the one F1 needs right now. With a "slow race week" on our hands, we trade off obscure Twistie flavours, Rod showers himself in failure during the quiz, and things get downright adults-only near the end. Yes, this is still an F1 podcast.

128. Singapore GP (Kaboom! BBQ Curry)

It's another recommend-o-cast from the Superlicense crew, as we scratch together a recap of the Canadian GP, discover what's wrong with Pirelli, what's wrong with Rod's socks, what's right with Verstappen and play "What famous people do you know?"

119. Canadian GP (A Scandanavian Political Crime Thriller)

Four (wink) pundits come together to bestow awards on teams and individuals from throughout the F1 2019 season. Nobody asked for it, and some would downright refuse their legitimacy, but whom are we to mess with tradition? See you in 2020!

158. Season 2019 Awards Gala (w. Box of Neutrals)

We're all commiserating with the new heartbreak kid, Charles Leclerc. The lack of sleep and busy days utterly cook Rod's brain, instead we offer highlights from the Fantasy League, low-lights for Vettel and Renault, Zach talks fancy beers and we learn a truly bewildering pnuemonic for remembering one team's full name.

137. Bahrain GP (Winning when you're crap)

With Hamilton basking in his newfound "six appeal" (make it a thing), we recap an otherwise unremarkable United States Grand Prix, learn why you need shotguns as we dredge up F1 Dreams one more time, and go from influenza to influencer with Zach's Hintstagram superquiz.

135. 2019 Season Launch (I would hope that it was drivable w. Abhishek Takle)

You can hear it in our voices and our hearts, the season has almost broken us. Before we (and F1, I guess) take a well-earned break we recap the lacklustre Abu Dhabi race, commemorate a departing statesman as only we can and scrutinise our own hits and misses throughout 2019. Stay tuned for our end of season show!

157. Abu Dhabi GP (We're not experts)

Did you snag yourself a podium-selfie with Vettel? Well then you're over-qualified for this week's Superquiz about the "Greatest" F1 selfies throughout (recent) "history". We recap the festival of speed that was the Mexican Grand Prix, unpack how the strategies dictated the result, and make a bold prediction about the Drivers' Championship.

154. Mexico GP (Dirty air around a package)

Huge crashes, overtakes for the race lead, new teams—the Belgian grand prix had everything you could want from the first five corners of a race. To keep things rolling we cover all the rumoured driver changes, learn some obscure facts about one of the great drivers of our time and deploy full snark toward those with all the gear and no idea.

126. Belgian GP (Full-kit wankers)

Here's an idea... Albon will win a race before Vettel does. You heard it here first. As always when there's no on-track action to recap we turn to a luminary, and this time we have a real doozy.... none other than the firecracker that is Spanners Ready from the Missed Apex Podcast to discuss driver movements, the year so far and which driver has the worst fans.

Luke Smith

We waited until all the news had broken (well, almost) before recording our big summer break show. Joining us to reflect on the season so far is Luke Smith, with whom we dissect all the driver movements, consider a return for Jean-Eric Vergne, and ask which driver will snub his father and discover The Clash?

125. Summer break (Drop it like it's Hartley w. Luke Smith)

Well, that didn't entirely go to plan! Like us you're probably in various states of lock-down, and flying in the face of various travel bans we thought you'd buy you all a ticket to visit the Superlicense universe. We react to the shambles that happened in Melbourne, speculate wildly about the season ahead and offer a ray of hope in the Superquiz.

160. Australian GP (Please wait: Season loading...)

In a year of stand-out races, this one might be the most eventful yet. Round after round of battles between drivers, teams and strategies, and as usual we judge them all from high atop our ivory tower. McLaren's long-awaited return to the podium is fodder for a Superquiz, and things get spicy as the fantasy league approaches it's conclusion.

156. Brazil GP (Green smoothies all 'round)

Figure

Was the British GP the best race in years? We discuss what makes a classic race, unpick the Mercedes strategy that helped Hamilton and left Bottas battered and bruised. Is Vettel a spent force? What else could go wrong at Haas? And what the hell is up with Rich Energy anyway?

145. Britain GP (Spray, drink, drop and figure eight)

Formula 1 storms into its second millenia, albeit with a snooze-worth borefest. We scoop up the dregs for our race recap, Rod conjures the hardest quiz that we've ever attempted, and construction on Zach's 2nd office continues. All this and more on the podcast that asks the question..... SCMODS?

138. Chinese GP (Races since Vettel spun: 1)

What a good race (great tho? it's debatable) to usher us into the summer break. With a brilliant strategy giving Hamilton victory, we're left to ask about the future for the drivers (cough, Bottas, Gasly) and even the teams (cough, McLaren, Renault). Come back for more throughout the break, and stay subscribed!

147. Hungarian GP (Stoppers for cars)

Where is it going wrong for Ferrari, the BBC, and F1 in general? Your old mates Rod and Zach don't waste any time discussing the thrilling race whatsoever, with only limited mentions of ABBA, Koala Whiskey, and the triumphant return to Zandvoort (because people want Dutch).

140. Spanish GP (His friends call him Louis)

What a season it's been, and we couldn't let another year wind down without recapping the highs and lows with our good mates from Box of Neutrals. For sure one of them (naming no names, Peter) won't win any awards for promptness, but the champagne flowed and the canapes were plentiful punctuating another successful end of season gala.

134. End of season awards gala (w. Box of Neutrals)

A disappointing follow-up to a lacklustre 1000th race, but your boys hold strong. Zach gropes around in the bargain bin looking for F1 related nuggets for a media-focused Superquiz, and Rod... well, excuse Rod. He can be grumpy, but we still love him.

139. Azerbaijan GP (What even is this season?)

Like Lewis, Rod is in severe conservation mode this week but we pull one out of the proverbial bag to tribute Niki Lauda, question Leclerc's mental state, and Zach asks... "which Ferrari driver would you want to have been number 2 alongside?"
