  1. Previewing Las Vegas and the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship

    Previewing Las Vegas and the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship

    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.  Want extra podcast content and to ask questions on the show?

    BONUS: 1997 revisited - Re-live a classic F1 season with Bring Back V10s

    Edd Straw introduces some bonus F1 content for you from The Race Members’ Club that we think you’ll enjoy hearing a preview of.  Throughout 2024, The Race F1 Podcast's sister show Bring Back V10s (which looks back at F1’s iconic V10 era) has been doing a spin-off show, exclusively for members, called 1997 Revisited. On each mini episode, host Glenn Freeman is joined by Edd, Ben Anderson and Matt Beer for a fun-filled look back at every race from that classic season, which was voted the best of the era by the Bring Back V10s audience. Glenn and the gang are reaching the memorable end of that season now with just a couple of highly-charged rounds remaining, so we thought this was the perfect time for a taster. If you like what you hear, you can listen to the whole season in full, and of course without ads, by joining The Race Members’ Club on Patreon. And if you sign up now, you can take advantage of our special Black Friday offer, where you can get 30% off your first month in either our Racers tier, or an F1-only equivalent for those of you who only want F1 content.  And if you’d like to get an even bigger discount, you can get 50% off our top Champions tier. Just select the Champions tier when signing up, then enter the code CHAMP when prompted. These offers are running for a limited time only so act fast to make sure you don’t miss out!

  3. 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

    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

    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. 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.
