    Episode #503: 2024 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix Review

    Episode #503: 2024 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix Review

    Okay, this actually IS Episode 503 this time, promise. Our bad!

    But MotoGP is back for 2024 for its season opener in Qatar! And in it, Francesco Bagnaia reminded the sport that he very much still him, winning in comfortable fashion! But to his surprise, it was Brad Binder that posed the biggest threat to him on a KTM. Is it a sign of things to come?

    Inevitably, we have to talk about Marc Marquez who finished in the Top 5 in the Sprint and the Race, and was only about a tenth of Bagnaia's pace? A good sign for the future? And of course, the excitement is here in Tech3's Pedro Acosta, who at one point was ahead of Marquez and thinking about a podium before draining his tyres. A star is here?

    Also, talk about the new Moto2, and an incredible comeback in Moto3 by "Magic" David Alonso, all on tap in another Motorsport101!

    Episode #502: 2024 F1 Saudi Arabia GP Review

    Episode #502: 2024 F1 Saudi Arabia GP Review

    You know what they say about meeting your heroes? How about racing them?

    Ollie Bearman is the story of the weekend here, after having to sub in for Carlos Sainz getting a nasty bout of appendicitis. But Bearman did a brilliant job subbing in qualifying in 11th and finishing 7th on just 24 hours notice. Is this proof that Bearman is the real deal?

    Also, alongside Max Verstappen's 19th win in the last 20 races, Haas pulled a nasty bit of gamesmanship using Kevin Magnussen as a blocker to let Nico Hulkenberg back in front on an alternate strategy to finish 10th, despite 20 seconds of time penalties and a potential FIA complaint from RB. Was that fair?

    And finally, yet more from the horrible Christian Horner investigation as it turns as Helmut Marko cried wolf over another potential investigation, and BBC reports the victim of the alleged reports has been suspended.

    All that and more on another loaded M101!

    Episode #501: 2024 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Review

    Episode #501: 2024 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Review

    Apologies this one's coming out a little bit later than planned, it's been a really busy week back at M101 HQ and you'll know about it later this week, promise.

    But yeah, F1 is back in Bahrain to kick off 2024 and the racing itself (And there wasn't much of it), already feels like it was playing second fiddle to the politics and horrible drama that has been the Christian Horner investigation, and this podcast drops more news and talk about those rumours. Again, be careful, it's near the end of the episode if you think it may be upsetting.

    But we also talk about Max Verstappen and Career Win #55 as he dominated proceedings to win very much like how last season ended. But what do we make of the state of the field now we've seen the cars in action at full speed. Haas not as bad as expected? Williams slipping?

    And what the heck is going on at Alpine after a diasterous pre-season and now we know that two major parts of their technical staff have since resigned? All that and a whole lot more on a (slightly late), M101!

    Episode #500: The 50 Most Important Moments In M101 History

    Episode #500: The 50 Most Important Moments In M101 History

    Well, this is it. The 500th Episode of Motorsport101. And in an idea that came together by the wonderful RJ O'Connell, we decided to recount and retell the 50 most important moments in the nine and a half year history of the show.

    Back in October 2014, Dre Harrison and Ryan King decided to start a podcast for Dre's final-year University project. We never thought a decade on, we'd still be doing this. From the 2014 Russian GP, to Cam and RJ's debuts, to Kurt Busch's ex-girlfriend being a trained assassin, all the way to Abu Dhabi 2021, Marc Marquez leaving Honda and so many of us actually finding a better place for ourselves in and outside of Motorsport. This is an archive of the moments that made us, and made Motorsport what it's become in the last decade.

    And make no mistake, we couldn't have done it without you, the audience. This place has grown so much in the last decade and we know there's 100 plus places you can get your Motorsport news and opinion fix... you chose us. That means the world.

    From the bottom of our hearts, from everyone at M101, thank you for inviting us into your homes, whether it be just once, or 500 times. You're the best audience in the world, and we love you.

    Here's to the next 500,
    Dre x

Love it

I generally don't listen to a lot of podcasts but Andre and the crew are like listening to your friends in the pub chat about race cars. The commentary is thoughtful and progressive, and the rotating cast of people on the show is always a delight. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Pretty ok

Audio quality is subpar but aside from that Motorsport101 is a mildly entertaining podcast
