The Race F1 Podcast

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?

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.

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.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli bagged his second consecutive victory in the Japanese Grand Prix. But was McLaren's Oscar Piastri robbed by the intervention of the safety car, and how serious are the implications of the Ollie Bearman/Franco Colapinto crash that proved to be the big talking point at Suzuka?

Edd Straw is joined, from Suzuka, by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss those questions and all of the important storylines from Japan.

Aston Martin's start to the season has been dogged by reliability problems, with serious vibrations from Honda's power unit damaging batteries beyond repair and leaving its drivers in pain. But who is to blame for these issues, and why is implementing a fix so difficult? Host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson dig into those questions on the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show.

Gary also gives his views on the news that Aston Martin are set to bring in a new team principal to allow Adrian Newey to put all his focus on technical matters, shares his thoughts on power deployment at the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix, and answers questions from listeners on battery charging, front-axle harvesting and 3D scanning.
