    BONUS: Driving Style Secrets - Fernando Alonso's remarkable technique explained

    We've got another bonus episode for you this week - the first episode of Season 3 of Driving Style Secrets, the podcast that takes an unapologetically deep dive into the driving techniques of the biggest names in F1, made exclusively for The Race Members' Club on Patreon. This season, we're focusing on 21st Century Greats, and who better to kick off with than a driver who has been an almost ever present in F1 this century - Fernando Alonso. Hosts Edd Straw and Mark Hughes have spent countless hours watching the Spaniard trackside, observing him over thousands of laps in many generations of machinery. Between them, they explain the techniques that have made Alonso such a formidable - and unique - competitor for over two decades at the highest level. The rest of Season 3, including episodes on Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg, plus an exclusive Q&A episode, will only be available to The Race Members' Club. So if you enjoy this episode - and we're confident you will - head to Patreon.com/therace to sign up today. Members also have access to our two previous seasons of Driving Style Secrets, which covered Modern Greats (Verstappen, Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc, Russell and Piastri) and Legends of the Nineties (Senna, Prost, Mansell, Schumacher and Hakkinen), plus two exclusive Q&A episodes where Edd and Mark tackled questions from listeners about driving technique.

    In the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, we discuss the news that Max Verstappen’s long-time race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase will join McLaren as chief racing officer in a move currently scheduled for 2028. What does this latest big-name loss mean for Red Bull, and what does it tell us about Verstappen’s future? We answer both of those questions, while also explaining Lambiase's new role with McLaren, why he’s been recruited and what it could mean for the long-term leadership of the team.  Get bonus F1 podcasts, extra content and ad-free listening, sign-up to The Race Members' Club on Patreon today.

  5. Adrian Newey and the fine line between triumph and disaster - The Undercut with Damon Hill and Mark Hughes

    APR 4

    Adrian Newey and the fine line between triumph and disaster - The Undercut with Damon Hill and Mark Hughes

    In the latest episode of The Undercut, Damon Hill and Mark Hughes discuss legendary designer Adrian Newey, whose Aston Martin adventure has got off to a very shaky start. Newey is rightly regarded as one of the finest (if not the finest) technical minds to have ever graced Formula 1, but as Damon and Mark discuss, his boundary pushing designs and insistence on doing things his way mean he sometimes walks a tightrope between triumph and disaster. The question is, with almost unlimited control at Aston Martin, can he turn the Silverstone team into winners or has he bitten off more than he can chew? Want to listen ad-free?

  6. Film Club: F1 Drive to Survive special!

    APR 2 • THE RACE EXTRA ONLY

    Film Club: F1 Drive to Survive special!

    We're bringing you a special episode of our Members-only Film Club series, as we put Netflix show Formula 1: Drive to Survive under the microscope - answering questions from The Race Members' Club about the latest season and the wider role of the series in telling the story of F1. Joining Edd Straw are Val Khorounzhiy and Charley Williams who, as you'll quickly find out, are coming at the whole thing from *very* different perspectives. On the agenda are what we're looking for when we sit down to watch Drive to Survive, one part that Val finds "frankly unwatchable", who steps into the breach now two big Drive to Survive personalities aren't on the scene, the big questions of whether we enjoyed watching it and much more. And look out for a cameo from one of the stars of the show, who takes on one of your questions themselves...

    APR 2

    Is Verstappen really going to walk away from F1?

    Is Max Verstappen really inclined to walk away from Formula 1, what should F1 try to do to prevent that, and what would his exit mean for Red Bull? Edd Straw is joined by Dutch F1 commentator Nelson Valkenburg plus Josh Suttill to discuss all the key questions over Verstappen's future on the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. There are also questions from The Race Members' Club on which ex-Red Bull junior should replace Verstappen if he does leave, whether George Russell is facing the kind of scenario at Mercedes that Fernando Alonso had at McLaren in 2007, and if pressure is growing on Franco Colapinto's place at Alpine.

    APR 1

    Bring Back V10s: Jaguar's nightmare debut season

    Jaguar's terrible first F1 season in 2000 is the subject of episode two of season 13 of Bring Back V10s. Glenn Freeman is joined by two people who worked in the Jaguar F1 system that year: technical director Gary Anderson, and The Race's Andrew van de Burgt, who ran the Jaguar Racing website in 2000! We look back over the whole year in detail, from the rebrand of Stewart Grand Prix, to high pre-season expectations, problems in testing, and a season that was largely a nightmare on track while Ford created plenty of high-level disruption off-track. Gary explains what he saw going on behind the scenes and tells the story of how he knew his time was up at the end of the season, plus he gives technical insight on the problems both Jaguar and Cosworth were having for much of the year.
