Introducing F1 Rewind, a new weekly podcast which delves deep into the archives of motorsport history.
It’s the start of a new year, and a new decade, and we have something new for you! Say hello to our new podcast, F1 Rewind. Hosted by Nicky Haldenby (writer of Lights Out F1 Blog), each 15-minute weekly episode will be dedicated to a particular date in the calendar. The show will look at notable births and deaths on that day, a review of races held on the date, a trawl through the archive of headlines from that day and much more.
“I’m really excited to launch this new podcast. I’ve been working on it for the past six months and I’ve had such a good time finding out lots of fun facts and weird trivia that I didn’t already know about F1 and beyond. With F1 celebrating its 70th birthday this year, now is the perfect time to take a look through the sport’s wonderful, illustrious and extensive history.”
You can listen to the preview episode of the podcast below. Don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or other popular streaming services to be notified of new episodes as soon as they’re released!
The first episode of F1 Rewind will be released on 3rd January, covering Michael Schumacher’s birthday, Jackie Stewart’s racing driver brother, the story of the first driver to wear a seatbelt at the Indianapolis 500 and plenty more!
