  • Ferrari launches its 2025 car - but will it be a winner?

    Ferrari launches its 2025 car - but will it be a winner?
    Feb 19 2025
    We dive into the big talking point of Formula 1 pre-season as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc drove the new Ferrari SF-25 for the first time at Fiorano today. Jon Noble joins Edd Straw moments after hearing Lewis Hamilton’s first full press conference as a Ferrari driver to explain why the claim he is “reinvigorated” holds water. Hamilton’s very obvious enthusiasm at being a Ferrari driver and confidence in it having everything it needs to be a world championship winner this year makes it very clear that he doesn’t for one moment regret leaving Mercedes. We also explain the approach Ferrari has taken with the new car, with Gary Anderson casting his expert technical eye over what we’ve seen of the SF-25 so far.

  • Our verdict on F1's huge launch event in London

    Our verdict on F1's huge launch event in London
    Feb 19 2025
    We react to Formula 1’s first-ever group launch event in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Jon Noble and Charley Williams join Edd Straw from the O2 Arena in London to appraise F1 75 and ask whether this one-off event could become a regular one. We pick out the teams that made the best (and worst) impressions with their segments and what we want to see more, or less, of in the future. We also gauge the crowd reaction and what it says about F1. And with plenty of news emerging from the day, we also ask if F1’s Monaco two-stop plan is a good one.

  • Why McLaren has gone 'aggressive' with 2025 F1 car

    Why McLaren has gone 'aggressive' with 2025 F1 car
    Feb 13 2025
    We tell all about the surprise launch of the first new Formula 1 car of 2025 - the McLaren MCL39 - in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. First, Mark Hughes joins Edd Straw at a cold and blustery Silverstone to discuss McLaren’s prospects of the season and what drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as well as team principal Andrea Stella, revealed about the season ahead. And we also highlight the influence of a certain ex-Red Bull technical leader that is very clear in the approach it has taken this year. Then, Gary Anderson joins us to give his detailed technical appraisal of the car and explain why he’s convinced by the direction the team has taken.

  • Previewing F1's 2025 launch season

    Previewing F1's 2025 launch season
    Feb 10 2025
    We look ahead to Formula 1’s imminent launch season in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to explain how the time between now and the first day of testing in Bahrain on February 26 will play out. The centrepiece of launch season is the F1 75 event at London’s O2 Arena on February 18, where all 10 teams will have a slot on stage to reveal their livery. We explain what to expect from that, and debate whether it will live up to fan expectations. We also explain what cars we might see appearing before them, and the restrictions that mean it’s difficult to launch a genuine 2025 car before the big event in London. And with just a small window between F1 75 and freight leaving for Bahrain, we run through the teams that will be revealing the cars in the days before testing starts. Finally, we each pick out which car - or cars - we’re most looking forward to seeing break cover. Want extra podcast content and to ask questions on the show?

  • F1's flexi-wing rule U-turn - what's changed and which teams will it hurt?

    F1's flexi-wing rule U-turn - what's changed and which teams will it hurt?
    Feb 5 2025
    We dissect Formula 1’s latest flexi-wings row in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Following news of a technical directive being issued curbing front wing flexibility, Jon Noble and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to explain what’s changing and why. Inevitably, there’s the question of which teams this could help and hinder to consider, as well as the political dimension as the usual competitive paranoia bubbles up among the ultra-competitive teams. We also explain why flexi-wings can’t be regulated out of F1, and the reasons for the eternal push-and-pull battle between the rulemakers and teams on what’s permitted. And with the rule change kicking in after eight races, we ask whether it could distort the season and lead to a competitive swing in June. Want extra podcast content and to ask questions on the show?

  • We predict the 2026 F1 driver market

    We predict the 2026 F1 driver market
    Feb 3 2025
    We dare to attempt to predict the 2026 Formula 1 driver market in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to run through the 11 teams and settle on the most likely pairings for 2026. The likelihood of curveballs like Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari move not working out and many more changing the game is addressed, as we lay out the market landscape. Last year’s podcast attempting to do this was ultimately derailed by Hamilton’s shock Ferrari deal, and even with things seemingly being more settled heading into 2026 we explain why there’s still potential for a few surprises. And as well as discussing the 10 existing teams, we also look at what Cadillac might do for its first season in F1. Want extra podcast content and to ask questions on the show?
