  • Is Verstappen switching to Aston Martin inevitable?
    Jan 27 2025
    Amid the talk of Max Verstappen heading to Aston Martin in 2026, we address the rumours in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. In a follow-up recording to the live shows we recently staged in London and Birmingham, we tackle some of the vast number of questions we received from the audience - including one about the reigning world champion’s future. We also discuss other aspects of Aston Martin’s rise, including the influence of Adrian Newey and Andy Cowell over driver decisions and Lance Stroll’s future. Other topics include how Lewis Hamilton will handle Ferrari politics, why Red Bull eschewed Carlos Sainz and whether Andrea Stella could have had the same impact on Alpine as he has on McLaren. We also ask how clearcut the decision was for Gabriel Bortoleto to sign for Sauber, what qualifies as success for Audi, the reasons for the expected increased field spread under the new regulations next year and much more.

  • Hamilton’s Ferrari test debut - your questions answered
    Jan 22 2025
    Lewis Hamilton momentous first week at Maranello at the start of his Ferrari adventure is the focus of the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jonathan Noble join Edd Straw to ask how the impact of his first Ferrari test compares with debuts in history, and what it says about just how big a story Hamilton’s move to Maranello is. We also run through what Hamilton has been doing at Maranello, both behind the wheel on off track, in preparation for his first season in red. We also take questions from The Race Members’ Club covering the value of the Fiorano test and how simulator running can be used in preparation, as well as what to expect from Hamilton’s steering wheel. There’s a look at what operational differences Hamilton will face at Ferrari compared to Mercedes, and what is challenging about adapting to this unique team. The battle between Hamiton and team-mate Charles Leclerc, and their driving styles, plus how this move might impact the seven-times world champion’s legacy are also among the topics.

  • Assessing F1’s bumper 2025 rookie crop
    Jan 20 2025
    Edd Straw is joined by Samarth Kanal and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss F1's rookie class of 2025. Can Mercedes new boy Kimi Antonelli live up to the sky-high expectations? And why is there so much excitement about a driver who only finished sixth in Formula 2 last year? Ollie Bearman has impressed in a handful of F1 races already, but how will he get on now he's with Haas full time? The potential for Jack Doohan's Alpine stint to be cut short by the presence of Franco Colapinto is also looked into, along with the prospects of F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto at Sauber. And with Red Bull promoting Liam Lawson - who we don't consider a rookie given his 11 starts over two seasons - the chances of the fifth and final 2025 rookie - Isack Hadjar - making good on his promise amid question marks about his approach are also evaluated.
