  The growing pressure in the Italian media on Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur is the topic for the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.Former Ferrari communications advisor Roberto Boccafogli joins Jon Noble and Edd Straw to offer his unique insight into the criticisms of Vasseur and what could be done to prevent this.

But just how good was his performance in the 24 hours, and how did Ferrari's third squad, which also featured Ye Yifei and Phil Hanson, beat its more acclaimed two factory cars?Also, did this year's Balance of Performance in the top class make Ferrari's route to a third successive victory too simple - and how much of a concern is one of its cars being disqualified post-race for a technical irregularity? Villemant and Khorounzhiy discuss this, and praise the other standout crew of the event.They also take their time to assess how each of the Hypercar manufacturers fared, and talk about the performances of recent F1 drivers Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen - as well as discuss a Magnussen team-mate you need to know about.IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR AND WANT MORE BONUS EPISODES, CLICK HERE TO GET A 7-DAY FREE TRIAL TO THE RACE MEMBERS' CLUB Hosted on Acast.

• Canadian GP: Will Norris blunder prove pivotal in Piastri title fight?

  From Montreal, Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Mark Hughes to review a dramatic and eventful Canadian Grand Prix.A somewhat pedestrian race was enlivened just before the flag when Lando Norris crashed into the back of his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri - but how much has the incident hurt his title bid? That's one of the key questions answered.Edd, Jon and Mark also discuss Mercedes' stunning turn of form, explaining why George Russell - only fourth in Spain - was able to ease to victory here, ably backed up by rookie team-mate Kimi Antonelli, who took a maiden F1 podium in third behind Max Verstappen's Red Bull. There's also discussion of why Red Bull's protest against race winner Russell for “unsportsmanlike intent” was thrown out by the stewards.The episode is rounded out with chat about Ferrari's lacklustre showing against the backdrop of mounting pressure on team boss Fred Vasseur, and the usual Race Members' Club questions section.
