Brad Pitt's F1 movie - How it's been filmed and why it matters
18 november 2024 · 1 uur 6 min
With F1 taking a breather before the final three races of the season, we thought we'd bring you something a little different for our latest episode: An update on the Brad Pitt-led movie F1, which is scheduled to hit cinemas next summer. Lees meer
Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Valentin Khorounzhiy explain how it has been filmed (particularly over real-life F1 weekends), why director Joseph Kosinski's back catalogue provides hope for spectacular action sequences, and how the teams, drivers and media have enjoyed having Hollywood in the paddock.
They also discuss Lewis Hamilton's involvement, what to expect when it finally hits the screen, and why the release of the film will be such a significant moment for Formula 1.

What's behind the F1 race director's sudden departure? Plus, big changes to launch season, Aston’s tech shake-up, Alpine’s new engine deal & more
13 november 2024 · 52 min
It's a news bonanza on the mid-week episode of The Race F1 Podcast as Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and special guest Christian Menath from German outlet Motorsport Magazin to unpack several big stories. Lees meer
The first is the shock news that Formula 1 will have a new race director from the Las Vegas Grand Prix as Niels Wittich has stepped down with immediate effect. We discuss what's behind his sudden departure, and Christian explains why there's more to it than the FIA's statement lets on.
Next Dan Fallows' impending departure from his Technical Director role at Aston Martin is discussed, before talk turns to rumours that Sauber owners Audi are looking to sell a stake in the team. But who to, and why?
And the episode is rounded out with talk about the big shake-up to F1 launch season, with a joint launch event set to take place at London's O2 Arena in February. Edd, Scott and Christian explain why this is happening before turning their attention to Alpine, following the confirmation that the Enstone team will use Mercedes power units (as taking gearboxes and rear suspension) from 2026.

11 november 2024 · 58 min
On this episode, with the title fight now effectively settled in Max Verstappen's favour, Edd Straw, Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson discuss what Lando Norris needs to do to move from regular race winner to real championship challenger in 2025. Lees meer
They also look at the collision course Mohammed Ben Sulayem appears to be on with Formula 1’s drivers after the FIA president's clampdown on swearing was met with a firm and united rebuke from the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA).
There's also chat about Mercedes' recent form, plus we hear the thoughts of the author Matt Whyman, who recently spent a season-and-a-half embedded within the Silver Arrows' set-up for his revealing new book Inside Mercedes F1: Life In The Fast Lane (published by Penguin Random House, and available now at all good booksellers).
And finally, Edd, Mark and Ben answer another batch of questions sent in by The Race Members' Club.

Why it’s Bottas out, Bortoleto in for Sauber in 2025
6 november 2024 · 43 min
Join Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm as they discuss Audi/Sauber's decision to sign F2 championship-leader Gabriel Bortoleto to partner Nico Hulkenberg for 2025 and beyond, in the process saying goodbye to Valtteri Bottas, who for a long time looked favourite to retain his seat. Lees meer
Amongst other things, they discuss why Audi/Sauber have opted for youth over experience, whether there's a risk with Bortoleto beginning his F1 career in uncompetitive machinery, why McLaren were happy to let the talented Brazilian go to another team, and what all this means for Bottas' F1 career.
Plus, with Zhou Guanyu also out of a drive, they ask what's next for the Chinese driver.

So here's 20 minutes or so of Edd working through questions, having deliberately chosen not to look at them in advance so you get his 'live' reaction to what was being put to him.

F1’s racing rules - what are they and do they need tweaking?
23 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 11 min
Formula 1's new-for-2024 racing guidelines were thrust back into the spotlight in Austin, inevitably leading to a flood of questions from The Race Members' Club. Lees meer
Those questions kick off the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast with Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill.
They cover what the rules actually say, where you can find them, whether they're fit for purpose and why Max Verstappen is so good at skirting so close to the edge of them.
Other topics include whether Franco Colapinto is world champion material, what his performances say about Alex Albon and whether age is catching up to Lewis Hamilton.

Verstappen vs Norris: Reassessing the title race ahead of the final 6 races
15 oktober 2024 · 1 uur
We discuss how Formula 1's return to action after a second one-month break could change the dynamic of the world championship battle in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Lees meer
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to look ahead to the first of the pair of triple-headers that will round out the season and explain the key factors that could swing the title fight one way or the other.
Will Red Bull get on top of its problems with an upgrade package, can Lando Norris finally make some decisive inroads into Max Verstappen's points lead and what role Mercedes and Ferrari could play in the fight are among the questions answered.
We also consider the impact the return of the sprint races, with three of the next five weekends running to that that format, in the championship fight and whether it could help or hinder either McLaren or Red Bull.
And with several questions still yet to be answered in the driver market, we reflect on how important the Austin weekend could be for RB returnee Liam Lawson.

We untangle Haas's new Toyota Formula deal and explain how it fits in with its existing Ferrari technical partnership in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. Lees meer
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to tell all about the impact this alliance should have for Haas, and why its full potential isn't yet clear.
The services Toyota will provide in terms of facilitating a TPC (testing of previous cars) programme for Haas for the first time and also drive-in-loop simulator and manufacturing opportunities are laid out in detail. We also outline why this isn't a full-blown Toyota return to F1.
We also discuss Toyota's reasoning for the deal and what it might have the potential to lead to in the future.
And given this is a positive step for Haas, we also look at the progress it has made under new team principal Ayao Komatsu over the past 10 months.

The path to F1: Is the junior ladder fit for purpose?
7 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 1 min
With Franco Colapinto and Ollie Bearman impressing on their Formula 1 outings this year, and Kimi Antonelli landing a place at Mercedes for 2024, the question of the relevance of Formula 2 has been talked about extensively in recent months. Lees meer
The Race F1 Podcast has now joined the discussion with an in-depth debate about not only F2, but the state of the whole junior ladder and whether the fact the drivers getting the best results in the primary feeder series are being overlooked is a problem.
Nelson Valkenburg, who commentates on Formula 1 in the Netherlands and is steeped in junior single-seater racing itself, and Samarth Kanal join Edd Straw to give an overview of the landscape and explain what's working and what isn't.
We start off with an explanation of why the mooted 'rookie race' won't happen at the Abu Dhabi test this year, but could take place next year, and look at the reasons for drivers ranked down the order in the F2 standings excelling in their F1 chances.
We then attempt to define the problem, and propose potential solutions to ensure that the junior ladder remains healthy and fit for purpose.

Debate: Which F1 rules should be ditched?
3 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 7 min
We debate rules that Formula 1 should ditch in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. Lees meer
Samarth Kanal and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to state the case for rules that should be ditched and, in some cases, replaced.

Daniel Ricciardo: How he'll be remembered in F1
30 september 2024 · 1 uur 14 min
We reflect on Daniel Ricciardo's Formula 1 legacy in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Lees meer
Special guest Michael Lamonato joins Ben Anderson and host Edd Straw to discuss the reaction in Australia to Ricciardo being replaced by Liam Lawson, and what's been learned from what Red Bull's Helmut Marko and Lawson himself have revealed about the process.
We then delve into Ricciardo's post-Red Bull career, explaining why his Renault stint shouldn't be lumped in with his McLaren and RB struggles, as well as the limitations that were exposed in his final seasons.
Ricciardo's peaks are also discussed, particularly in terms of the strengths that made him one of the best in the middle stages of the second decade of the 21st century. And we also ask whether Ricciardo was unfortunate not to win a world championship in that era, and the extent to which his later career tarnishes his reputation.

Edd Straw and Mark Hughes (both in Singapore) are joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm to review the Singapore Grand Prix, and a race in which Lando Norris left his rivals in his wheel tracks.

Why Newey's picked Aston Martin - and why rivals should be scared
10 september 2024 · 51 min
Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson to discuss what is arguably F1's biggest non-driver signing of all time: Adrian Newey to Aston Martin. They discuss why one of the greatest technical minds in F1 history, who could have joined more-or-less any team he fancied, has made the decision to join Aston Martin. They also explain how Aston owner Lawrence Stroll got his man - and what he can expect for his money. Lees meer
Edd, Mark and Ben also discuss the particulars of Newey’s Aston role and why it’s different to what many expected, plus they talk in detail about the impact Newey might have, including whether he’s the missing piece in Aston’s ‘galactico’ team structure, how his arrival might motivate Fernando Alonso, the pressure on him to deliver, and why rival teams might be fearing what he will bring to the table in both the short- and long-term...

Antonelli's big break and Williams's drastic action
28 augustus 2024 · 1 uur 13 min
Two huge F1 debuts are coming up at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend - with Mercedes protege Kimi Antonelli getting his hands on the team's 2024 car and Franco Colapinto making his race debut following a huge shake-up at Williams. Lees meer
The Race F1 Podcast turns first to Antonelli, with Edd Straw joined by Ben Anderson and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss how significant an outing this could be for a driver who seems destined for a 2025 Mercedes F1 graduation - and the potential headache Mercedes has on its hands for 2026 if Toto Wolff picks his interest in signing Max Verstappen back up again next year.
But it's Williams that has made a huge decision between the Dutch and Italian GPs as it finally lost patience with Logan Sargeant - axing him from its line-up and giving its academy driver Colapinto a shot alongside Alex Albon for the final nine races of the season.
That wildcard choice and how impressive Colapinto was on his F1 weekend debut in FP1 at Silverstone earlier this year, the timing of the decision and what that says about how much Williams wanted things to work out with Sargeant, and how his situation ultimately became untenable are all covered.
Ferrari's prospects heading to its home race at Monza, McLaren's constructors' championship favourite status, and whether racing will be better in 2026 despite predicted slower laptimes are among a bonus set of questions from The Race Members' Club that are tackled too.

Dutch GP: McLaren exploits Red Bull's weakness
26 augustus 2024 · 1 uur
Lando Norris could hardly have made a bigger statement of intent as F1 returned from its summer break, as the McLaren driver clinched his second grand prix win at the Dutch GP - and in doing so ended Max Verstappen's winning streak on home soil in crushing fashion. Lees meer
But why was Norris so dominant at Zandvoort? Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm on The Race F1 Podcast to answer that question and plenty more as the constructors' championship battle between Red Bull and McLaren got tighter still.
As well as looking at how Charles Leclerc earned Ferrari an unexpected podium, Sergio Perez's form and Alpine's 'victory' in the midfield battle, there's a host of questions from The Race Members' Club on topics including the quality of Norris's drive, whether Red Bull's tyre management has got worse as the year has gone on, and Logan Sargeant's precarious position at Williams.

The best team that never raced in F1?
15 augustus 2024 · 45 min
We’ve got something a little bit different for you on this episode. Earlier this year, to mark the 40th anniversary of Prodrive, Edd Straw paid a visit to its Banbury HQ to interview its co-founder and chairman David Richards. Lees meer
Many F1 fans will remember Richards through his time with the Benetton and BAR F1 teams, and may know that he’s currently chairman of Motorsport UK. But he also came very close to bringing Prodrive - so successful in rallying, touring cars and sportscars - into F1 on two occasions. In fact, you could argue that Prodrive is the best team to never race in F1…
We hope you enjoy Edd’s wide-ranging chat with David Richards, who has many a tale to tell about F1 in the 2000s and 2010s.
