Join Paul and me. literally, in a very special episode of the FBC Podcast. We were both in Dayton at the Finali Mondiali event. Paul was working the event and trying to stage 1,000 Ferrari's and I was working with the wonderful people at Shell covering the event for all of you. We are rarely in the same room so I took a couple of mics and a recorder and this is the best we could do on short notice with no notes. I'll have a FBC Downshift episode for you with the interviews I did including Marc Gené, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel, Sergio Marchionne and Maurizio Arrivebene. HUGE thank you to the amazing crew at Shell for allowing me to work the event and bring you, the FBC community, some very special content. If you get a chance, let Shell know you appreciate their friendship with us otherwise, we'd never have access to the content we all enjoy. @Shell_USNormally the Nico Rosberg announcement would be worthy of a special podcast but we were in transit to Dayton when it happened and this is as quick as we could cover so we share our thoughts on his decision and his possible replacements.

Join Grace, Paul and me as we celebrate our 500th podcast episode by looking back at the 11 years we’ve been running Formula1blog.com. We started our podcasts back in 2007 and the big news of that season was the McLaren Spygate incident with Ron Dennis and with the news this week that Ron would be leaving the team, we thought we should put a bookend on our first 500 shows with none other than Ron Dennis and McLaren. In fact, we thought we’d look at 11 controversies in F1 over the years just for a fun conversation and walk through memory lane.What controversies caught your attention in F1 over the decades? Are there some big ones you were rattle by and what do you think of the incidents that we picked?We hand out some awards and share some thoughts on our history and the community that has made FBC what it is. It’s a long show but since we’re not recording one this coming Monday, we thought you could handle it. We hope you enjoy the 500th celebration podcast—including a short snippet from our very first show—and we look forward to the next 500.
