Has Max Verstappen won his last championship in F1? Who'll be the next first-time world champion? Which driver from outside the top four teams would have been a better number two for Red Bull in 2024?
That's just a selection of the topics tackled...

The 2024-25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship began with a bang in Sao Paulo with Mitch Evans taking an extraordinary last to first win in his new Jaguar Gen3Evo machine.
That was only part of a dramatic landscape to a race that also included two red flags, the last of which was for Pascal Wehrlein’s inverted Porsche. The reigning champion emerged unscathed from the wreck after tangling with fellow assumed title rival Nick Cassidy’s already damaged Jaguar.
Other stellar per...

On this episode we’re lifting the lid (or should that be peaking under the fuel cap?) of F1 fuel tanks - an area of the car some might assume is fairly basic and uninteresting, but (like everything else in F1) is actually incredibly complex and has a huge impact on performance.

We're delighted to say that The Race F1 Podcast is going to be doing not one but TWO very special LIVE SHOWS in January 2025, in the UK:
The 1997 Japanese Grand Prix weekend often gets overlooked because of what followed it at the Jerez title decider. But Suzuka set the scene for that famous finale with plenty of drama of its own.
Here on 1997 Revisited we look back at how the penultimate round of the season shaped what was to come, from Jacques Villeneuve's inexplicable yellow flag infringement in practice, how he and Williams approached the race once he was reinstated under appeal, and how Ferrari and Michael Schumach...

Ranking the top 10 riders of the wild 2024 MotoGP season was not easy - and there's plenty of disagreement about it on The Race MotoGP Podcast.
It's a case of 'vibes' (Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer) vs 'reason' (Simon Patterson and Megan White) in our debate, with interjections from the wider The Race family too as we create a ranking with some very surprising scores along the way.
Should we prioritise actual championship position achievements above overachievement on lesser ...

Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss the news that Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors to add a GM/Cadillac team to the F1 grid in 2026. But curiously within F1's announcement, there was no mention of Andretti, the entity that started this team's bid to get onto the F1 grid.
So, why have GM/Cadillac got the green light now, when the project was previously rejected? Where has the Andretti name gone? What engines will the new team use and w...
