Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the life and career of triple Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna. The Brazilian is regarded by many to be the greatest F1 driver of all time. He was ferociously quick, fearless in wheel-to-wheel battle and a master in the rain, but also willing to resort to underhand or even dangerous tactics to win. Senna died aged only 34, leaving his home country and the entire motorsport world bereft. He is one of only a handful of F1 drivers to truly transcend the sport and become a prominent figure in society as a whole. Andrew remembers the time he rode with Senna at Silverstone in a Honda NSX, and how impressive he was behind the wheel. THE INTERCOOLER DAILY PODCAST!

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the romance of buying your first Ferrari. Which models at various budgets would give the first-time Ferrari buyer the best ownership experience? How can you be sure you're buying a good example and not one that's going to cost a fortune to maintain? Today V8 Ferraris can be bought for less than £40,000, with V12 models costing only a little more. Tempting, buy should you take the plunge?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel attempt to unpack the mystery that is Alfa Romeo. It remains one of the most prestigious mainstream car makers on the planet despite long spells of mismanagement and often very poor model line ups. This company was one of motor racing's top dogs for years, but today motorsport forms no significant part of the marque's activities. Dan and Andrew discuss the company's best and worst cars and outline their plan to revive it.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the cars that were ahead of their time. In many cases they were the innovators and the pioneers, the cars that changed the industry for good. In others, these cars arrived too far ahead of their time and were commercial and technological flops because of it. BMW's i3 and i8, the Porsche 959, Jensen FF, Mercedes-Benz 300SL and Honda Insight all feature.

They talk about the superhuman way in which professional racing drivers seem to be able to dust themselves off after an enormous shunt and carry on racing with no loss of enthusiasm.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel reveal what it's like to compete in a motor race for the very first time. From not knowing where to be and when, being unsure if you have the right safety gear or not, worrying you might line up in the wrong grid slot and more, your first race is a uniquely terrifying prospect. And that's before you've done your belts up. But how can you remove stress from what should be a very special occasion? And what happens when the lights do finally go out?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown for episode 250 of The Intercooler podcast. Having orchestrated one of the most remarkable turnarounds F1 has ever seen, taking one of the slowest teams on the grid in early 2023 to the constructors' championship in 2024, Brown has his sights set on more title glory in 2025. He explains how he reorganised the team to lead it back to the front, how McLaren almost lost the title by seven-tenths of a second, and why drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri can step up to another level in 2025.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the latest version of the Porsche 911 GT3, which Dan has driven on road and track in Spain. Though this latest model is as brilliant to drive as ever, it's been developed against a very different backdrop to earlier versions. In fact, might this be the last 911 GT3 as we know it...?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by professional racing driver Darren Turner. A three-time Le Mans class winner with Aston Martin, Darren recently broke the production car lap record at Silverstone in a Valkyrie hypercar, lowering the bar by 10 whole seconds. Darren explains how the attempt compared to a GT3 qualifying lap, reveals how much quicker the track-only Valkyrie AMR Pro would be and talks about F1 star Nico Hulkenberg's remarkable day in that car. Darren also reflects on a long and very successful professional racing career that probably should never have happened.

The first was the 308 GTB of 1975, the last the F8 Tributo that arrived in 2019.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss their favourite small French cars, from the Citroën 2CV to any number of sporty Renault Clios. Some are hot hatches but by no means all – in fact, some of these machines can be painfully slow. So why are little French hatchbacks so charming, such fun and so enduring?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the cars they've been living with in 2024, from a Volkswagen Up GTI to a McLaren Artura, via a basic Porsche 911 and an electric Audi. Does Andrew's bottom of the range Porsche 911 Carrera feel like the poor relation in the 911 line-up? Why did Dan sell the Up GTI that he so enjoyed driving?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel consider why the McLaren W1 and Ferrari F80 haven't caused the same excitement among enthusiasts as hypercars from the past. Are we just bored with very low-volume, extremely high-performance machines that few of us will ever get to experience for ourselves? Is there something inherently wrong with this new batch of hypercar? Dan and Andrew also look back at the best hypercars of all time to see how the sector has evolved over the past four decades.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel review the new hybrid BMW M5. With 717bhp it's easily the most powerful M5 yet, but at 2435kg it's the heaviest by a distance too.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss perhaps their least favourite Porsche 911 variant, the Turbo. Now in its half-centenary year, the 911 Turbo has long been one of the fastest cars on the road. But among 911s, argue Dan and Andrew, it's also tended to be one of the least engaging to drive. Here's why.

The new Renault 5 EV is one of the best-looking small cars in years, while the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the latest in a long and vaunted line of front-engined Ferrari V12s.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the extraordinary Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, won on the road by George Russell who was later disqualified for having an underweight car. They also look back at the first half of the season, which looked likely to be another Max Verstappen stat-padding year before rivals McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes caught up with the Red Bull powerhouse.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the remarkable racing career of Michael Schumacher. The German driver once held all the Formula 1 records, including most championships, most wins and most poles. Many of those records have since been broken, but for lots of F1 fans Schumacher is still the greatest ever to do it. But along with his ferocious speed and intellect came a darker side – a need to win so fierce he twice crashed into competitors in championship deciders. And did his Mercedes comeback in 2010 hurt his legacy?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the ways in which car manufacturers really make money. Very often the profit margin on the car itself will be very small, but the profit on optional extras can be significant. At the top end of the market, the likes of Ferrari, Bentley and Aston Martin are generating huge revenues by offering ever greater levels of personalisation, from bespoke colours and finishes to entire one-off builds. Indeed, those high-end manufacturers now have whole departments dedicated to optional extras and personalisation.

This Christmas we have recorded a very special single episode of our acclaimed Last Blast podcast. To deliver this unique episode we needed a guest of international renown, made famous through achievements in both the road and racing car worlds. Who better, then, than Professor Gordon Murray, designer of multiple World Championship-winning Formula 1 cars, creator of the McLaren F1 – the car which expanded the envelope of road car performance more than any other – and whose latest design, the T.50 seems likely to rewrite the rules all over again? In an interview lasting over 90 minutes with The Intercooler's Andrew Frankel, Gordon takes us right through his career from his earliest days racing in South Africa, his decision to come penniless to the UK and the accidental interview that kicked off one of the most illustrious careers in race car design. Then he takes us through how the F1 came about, his struggle to reconcile his vision for the SLR with that of Mercedes-Benz and why he packed it all in to go and create his own automotive engineering and design consultancy.
