Dutch GP: Just how decisive was Piastri's victory for the championship?
We ask what Lando Norris’s engine failure in the Dutch Grand Prix gives Oscar Piastri a decisive advantage in the drivers’ championship fight in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Jon Noble and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to dissect the race at Zandvoort and tackle the big talking points, including how Piastri had his McLaren team-mate beaten even before the failure. We also tackle Isack Hadjar’s heroics and explain how impressive his performance was, and what made the difference between his result and that of close midfield rivals. We also take on questions from The Race Members’ Club, discuss Lewis Hamilton’s weekend as part of a look at Ferrari’s struggles and review the controversial penalty issued to Carlos Sainz. Nothing else comes close at the Home of Formula 1 Night Racing. Find out more about the FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2025 at www.singaporegp.sg Hosted on Acast.

Bring Back V10s: Top 10 heartbreaks of the V10 era
For Season 12’s top 10 debate, we took a suggestion from Chris Parrott in The Race Members’ Club to rank the biggest F1 heartbreaks of the V10 era. Having then enlisted the help of many more of our members on Patreon in the Bring Back V10s community chat group, a shortlist of crushing moments was created for Glenn Freeman, Ben Anderson, Matt Beer and Edd Straw to put into their own top 10s. Unsurprisingly we were spoilt for choice, so get ready for a lengthy chat that primarily focuses on underdogs who came painfully close to great moments of glory, but also features a few greats who were denied early success before their careers truly took off.

Tech Show: Inside Red Bull's trackside fuel and lubricants lab - and why it matters
Fuel and lubricants are often taken for granted by F1 fans, but it’s a crucial battleground that has a big impact not only on performance, but also reliability. We hear from Exxonmobil’s Fiona McKewan, whose role as Red Bull technical advisor means she attends races and closely monitors and analyses the various fluids that are essential to the operation of the car and power unit. She explains the rigorous processes that ensure not only are the products working as intended, but also how the trackside lab can be used to warn of and prevent imminent reliability problems. Gary Anderson explains why the competitive order will change after F1’s August break despite the focus being on 2026. And we also tackle listener questions on AI, tyre pollution, attitudes to reliability and containing outwash. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Five things to watch out for as F1 2025 resumes
We look ahead to the Dutch Grand Prix and the second half of the season as a whole in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Nelson Valkenburg and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to hit the key talking points ahead of a Zandvoort event that has established itself as a highlight of the season since its return to F1 four years ago. We discuss Max Verstappen’s chances of fighting for victory in his home grand prix, and the role the weather could play in that. And with the championship fight between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris resuming, we attempt to pick a favourite and set the stage for what could be a remarkable battle. The chances of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull playing a confounding role in that title fight in certain races, and the midfield landscape are also discussed. In the final part, we tackle more listener questions on a range of topics from tyre allocation to Lewis Hamilton’s 2026 hopes.Want bonus episodes and ad-free listening?

Cadillac signs Bottas and Perez for its first F1 season
We ask if Cadillac has made a mistake by signing two veterans in Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas for 2026 in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Jon Noble joins Edd Straw to dissect the decision and explain why Cadillac has chosen experience over youth. We also ask why two grand prix winning drivers were keen to sign a team that will be at the back next year rather than holding out for something better, and what they bring to Cadillac. There’s also the latest on rumours of Christian Horner joining the team and Cadillac’s plans for pre-season. Want bonus episodes and ad-free listening?
