    When does clever thinking become cheating? - The Undercut with Damon Hill and Mark Hughes

    People in F1 have long talked about finding ‘the unfair advantage’, but sometimes the line between clever thinking and outright cheating is not easy to see - as Damon Hill and Mark Hughes discuss on the latest episode of The Undercut. The engine compression saga that’s engulfed F1 ahead of the 2026 season is the latest scenario where a team looks to have found a loophole in the F1 regulations - but should Mercedes be congratulated for what is undoubtedly clever engineering or should the FIA always look to curb any advantage that could be said to go against the spirit of the regulations? Mark and Damon discuss this and other 'grey area' scenarios in what is a typically wide-ranging and free-flowing conversation.

They also discuss how testing has changed over the years, and debate whether the current restrictions on testing have limited opportunities for drivers to experiment with new driving techniques - something that could be a big factor this year, with the new regulations…  Get your 7-day free trial to The Race Members' Club on Patreon today and enjoy bonus F1 podcasts and ad-free listening.

    Damon and Johnny are back for episode two of Stay On Track! There's been no shortage of big talking points in F1 this past week, so what's caught their attention? Chiefly, there's a look at Lando Norris's recent surge and what's behind it; their verdict on the "talk less" turmoil at Ferrari (which includes a big revelation from Damon); and the question of how drivers would settle on-track squabbles if there were no racing rules. Plus, our dynamic duo get their first grilling from The Race Members' Club by answering a handful of listener questions - discussing the best overtakes of their careers, and recalling one notorious live TV confrontation with Fernando Alonso...
