The upcoming F1 decision that could have a massive impact on racing

For many F1 fans, tyres are a boring necessity - essential to the sport, but dull to talk about. On this episode of the pod (which we promise is far from dull), Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Glenn Freeman to explain why, with Bridgestone interested in returning to F1 in place of Pirelli, fans should be very interested in what tyres the cars are running in the future. They also debate whether F1 would benefit from another ‘tyre war’, where rival tyre manufacturers would vie for supremacy rather than every team using the same rubber.

Why Ferrari won at Le Mans but is failing in F1

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Sam Smith join Edd Straw to discuss Ferrari’s much celebrated victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours, and ask why the marque got it right at the first time of asking in the world’s biggest endurance race, but continually miss the mark in F1. Are there lessons Ferrari’s F1 operation can learn from their sportscar squad? Will we see Charles Leclerc racing for the team at Le Mans sooner rather than later? Does success breed success?

F1's surprise technical director move explained

Mark Hughes and Matt Beer join Edd Straw to discuss the surprise news that James Key will join the Sauber-run Alfa Romeo team as its technical director in September, following his exit from McLaren earlier this year. They discuss why Andreas Seidl has turned to his former McLaren colleague to lead the team's technical department, what it means for Alfa's short-term chances, and what it means for the future, with the Swiss-based squad set to morph into the Audi works team in 2026.

McLaren's statement signing & Ferrari's season-defining upgrades

On the eve of the Spanish Grand Prix, Scott Mitchell-Malm joins Edd Straw in Barcelona to discuss the news that McLaren have signed Rob Marshall - a key part of Red Bull’s technical team since the outfit’s second season in 2006 - to its revised technical department for the 2024 season onwards. They also discuss the upgrade package that Ferrari are bringing to Barcelona, and how its success will play a key role in defining the Italian team's season, for better or worse. And finally, Edd and Scott give their views on the track changes in place in Barcelona, which sees the ultra-quick final corner returning and the much-maligned chicane disappear.
