The Race F1 Podcast The Race

As usual, you sent in TONS of questions after the Hungarian Grand Prix - too many, in fact, to get through on our latest two podcasts. We wanted to get through as many as we could, so here’s Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm with the final batch, which includes questions on Lewis Hamilton’s driving style, whether Fernando Alonso is F1’s biggest wasted talent, where the Norris-Piastri relationship is heading, and whether Lando Norris is a bad starter. There’s also a passionate monologue from Edd about team orders!

Join Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm (from an airport hotel in Brussels) as they unpack the news that former Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto is taking up a senior role in Audi's F1 programme, as part of a reshuffle that's seen Andreas Seidl exit the project.
Following that, they discuss the latest on Alpine, with Renault looking increasingly likely to drop its works Formula 1 engine in favour of a Mercedes customer deal.
And finally, Edd and Scott answer questions from The Race Members' Club about Max Verstappen, following the Dutchman's tempestuous race in Hungary. And don't worry if your question isn't answered - there'll be another Q&A podcast for members' later this week.

For the latest episode of F1 Book Club, exclusively for Race Members, host Edd Straw was delighted to welcome legendary F1 and sportscar driver Derek Warwick onto the show to discuss his incredible new tome: Derek Warwick: Never Look Back - The racing life of Britain’s double world champion. 

In a heartfelt and at times emotional conversation, Warwick explains the part having cancer played in his decision to write the book, the role ghost writer (and friend) David Tremayne played in the process, and the 'naughty' stories he was so keen to tell. 

Amongst the topics covered are Warwick’s career choices, his up and down F1 career, his championship-winning exploits in sportscars, and more. He also opens up on the challenges of being an F1 driver steward and poignantly explains the impact of his brother’s tragic death on his own racing career. 

Derek Warwick: Never Look Back - The racing life of Britain’s double world champion is published by EVRO Publishing and is available from all good booksellers.

And finally, there's a look ahead to this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, and whether we'll see improved fortunes for both Ferrari and Sergio Perez...
