    #1 - F1 Andretti Cadillac block would be "one of the biggest injustices"

    Well, what a start to the new year in F1 in light of Andretti Global's announcement of partnering with General Motors and Cadillac in a bid to get its entry bid over the line. GPFans editor-in-chief Ian Parkes, deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for a new-year roundtable, with Andretti leading the discussion. The winter reset was sparked by a team principal merry-go-round in early December, and we still do not know if there will be 23 or a record-breaking 24 grands prix on the calendar, with China requesting to be added again after its race was cancelled. Also, is Fred Vasseur the right man to shake up Ferrari, and which of the rookies on the grid this season has the most to prove? All this and more on the first podcast of 2023, so have a listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, and don't forget to subscribe for more regular podcasts.

    #19 The Stewards' Room Podcast: The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

    Max Verstappen rounded out his record-breaking season with a 15th win of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.  GPFans editor-in-chief Ian Parkes, deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. The Dutchman was on top form once again but Ferrari and Charles Leclerc will have left Abu Dhabi more than satisfied after securing P2 in both the drivers' and constructors' championships.  Off-track, however, all eyes were on Sebastian Vettel as the four-time champion made his final F1 appearance. His legacy will be a long-lasting one and his presence sorely missed within the paddock.  More on this on the Stewards' Room Podcast, so please listen to the GPFans Global team as they digest all the action from the Yas Marina Circuit, let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, and don't forget to subscribe for more regular podcasts.

    #18 The Stewards' Room Podcast: The São Paulo Grand Prix

    George Russell may have scored his maiden F1 victory and Kevin Magnussen a first pole position, but infighting at Red Bull dominated the São Paulo Grand Prix. GPFans editor-in-chief Ian Parkesdeputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. After Max Verstappen and Red Bull secured both the drivers' and constructors' championship titles, attention turned to securing the first one-two in the team's history.  But after the Dutchman disobeyed a direct team order, rumours emerged suggesting foul play from Sergio Perez in Monaco earlier this season could have been a motivating factor.  More on this on the Stewards' Room Podcast, so please listen to the GPFans Global team as they digest all the action from Interlagos, let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, and don't forget to subscribe for more regular podcasts.

    #17 The Stewards' Room Podcast: The Mexico City Grand Prix

    Max Verstappen secured the constructors' title for Red Bull with a record-breaking 14th win of the season on a weekend marred by budget cap sanctions and a media boycott from Red Bull. GPFans deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. Despite Verstappen moving ahead of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel as the most successful driver ever in a single season, Red Bull's weekend took place under a cloud after the team was fined and docked ATR time for breaching spending limits. Elsewhere, Mercedes enjoyed a strong performance with Lewis Hamilton in second place as Ferrari toiled with a lack of pace.

    #16 The Stewards' Room Podcast: The United States Grand Prix

    Max Verstappen secured the constructors' title for Red Bull with his 13th win of the season but that was the tip of the iceberg at the United States Grand Prix.  GPFans deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. Red Bull raced in memory of team owner Dietrich Mateschitz on Sunday following the death of the 78-year-old with both Verstappen and team principal Christian Horner dedicating the success in his honour. A spectacular crash involving Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso interrupted the race, but after recovering to seventh, the Alpine driver's day took a turn for the worse after the FIA handed him a post-race 10-second stop-go penalty for lapping with only a single mirror - something that was deemed as dangerous.

    #15 The Stewards' Room Podcast: The Japanese Grand Prix

    Max Verstappen wrapped up his second world title with a dominant victory at the Japanese Grand Prix but that doesn't even begin to tell the tale of the Suzuka weekend. GPFans editor-in-chief Ian Parkes, deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. As was the case last season, issues with the FIA overshadowed the weekend with the points system coming into question as well as just why a recovery vehicle was allowed onto the track with drivers still circulating. What should have been a celebration of Verstappen's brilliance was, unfortunately, anything but.  More on this on the Stewards' Room Podcast.

    #14 The Stewards' Room Podcast: The Singapore Grand Prix

    Sergio Perez scored his second win of the season to salvage something from a disastrous weekend for Red Bull at the Singapore Grand Prix. GPFans editor-in-chief Ian Parkes, deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 writer Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. Perez was dominant at the front and survived a late penalty scare to add to his Monaco success. Max Verstappen was unable to the title at the first opportunity after a team miscalculation in qualifying and driver errors in the race itself.  But off-track, a storm is brewing as the FIA prepares to award certificates of compliance with the financial regulations.  This and more on the Stewards' Room Podcast.
