  • Red Bull dump Perez - all you need to know
    Dec 18 2024
    Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and special guest Diego Mejia from Fox Sports Mexico and The Race en Español to discuss Red Bull confirming it is parting ways with Sergio Perez for 2025. They explain why it has taken so long for this announcement to be made, given it has been expected for some time, why the partnership hasn't worked out, and whether this spells the end of Perez's F1 career. They also discuss who is likely to replace Perez, why that announcement hasn't been made at the same time, and whether Red Bull will end up with the team-mate they need for Max Verstappen. And finally, Diego gives us the Mexican perspective on Perez splitting with Red Bull - including the impact the decision could have on the Mexican Grand Prix.

  • What you need to know about Cadillac's F1 entry - including why the Andretti name was dropped
    Nov 25 2024
    Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss the news that Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors to add a GM/Cadillac team to the F1 grid in 2026. But curiously within F1's announcement, there was no mention of Andretti, the entity that started this team's bid to get onto the F1 grid. So, why have GM/Cadillac got the green light now, when the project was previously rejected? Where has the Andretti name gone? What engines will the new team use and which drivers might it sign? We shed light on all of those questions and more... Want extra podcast content and to ask questions on the show? Join The Race Members' Club on Patreon!

  • Previewing Las Vegas and the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship
    Nov 21 2024
    Compared to last year, the opening day of the Las Vegas Grand Prix event was relatively subdued, but despite the lack of razzmatazz there's still plenty to talk about on The Race F1 Podcast. Ben Anderson joins Edd Straw after a long day in the paddock to give you a taste of what it's like to be in Las Vegas and what's changed since last year. As this is Ben's first visit to Vegas, he offers a fresh perspective on the unique qualities of the event - and the challenges of the strange timetable - but inevitably the big talking point is the start of the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship. We weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull and the factors that might impact their performance this weekend - including a technical directive issued since the last race in Brazil. The response, or lack thereof, to the GPDA's statement on the FIA's crackdown on swearing and the way it has been pursued, is also a talking point.
