  3. And Colossally That's History: F1's infamous 'crashgate' scandal

    4 DAYS AGO • THE RACE EXTRA ONLY

    And Colossally That's History: F1's infamous 'crashgate' scandal

    On this week’s episode of And Colossally That's History! , Matt Bishop and Richard Williams look back at the controversial ‘crashgate’ scandal, when it emerged that the Renault driver Nelson Piquet Junior deliberately crashed during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix to hand a major sporting advantage to his team-mate, Fernando Alonso, who went on to win the race. Matt and Richard look at the origins of the saga, peak into the murkiness around who came up with the idea and put it into action, explain how it came to be uncovered, and discuss the punishments handed out to those involved. They also debate the morals of the incident itself - was it the worst example of cheating in sporting history (as some claimed at the time) or an example of F1 gamesmanship gone too far? Matt and Richard will be bringing members an exclusive Q&A episode at the end of Season 3, where they'll answer questions on each of the topics covered.

  5. Why Russell's F1 future is uncertain - despite his strong start to 2025

    30 APR • THE RACE EXTRA ONLY

    Why Russell's F1 future is uncertain - despite his strong start to 2025

    Why is George Russell’s Formula 1 future uncertain at a point where he’s performing better than ever for Mercedes? That’s a question we tackle in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast. Glenn Freeman and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss Russell’s performances and the factors that mean a new deal with Mercedes isn’t yet a foregone conclusion. We look at the situation with Max Verstappen’s potential availability and the chances of Russell being displaced, and why Mercedes would consider making such a change. And we also ask what Russell’s fallback plans might be and if there’s anything he can do to persuade Mercedes to put pen to paper. We also look ahead to the Miami Grand Prix and McLaren’s chances of a fifth victory in six races, as well as answering listener questions related to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. In the final part of the podcast, we tackle questions from The Race Members’ Club on multiple topics, including the problems of the regulations, Isack Hadjar and Carlos Sainz.

    F1 Extra: Unpacking our recent interviews with McLaren

    Edd Straw is joined by Charley Williams to unpack our recent trip to McLaren to interview Lando Norris, his engineer Will Joseph, and McLaren CEO Zak Brown. For lifelong McLaren fan Charley (one of The Race's social media team), every trip to the McLaren Technology Centre is a gift - and she made some interesting observations whilst capturing social content on the day. Edd also shares some behind the scenes details from the day, before he and Charley discuss the interviews themselves, including what they made of Brown's comments on the potential for Norris and Piastri to clash on track at some point in the future.

  8. Lando Norris on his errors, his critics and McLaren's 2025 title chances

    28 APR • THE RACE EXTRA ONLY

    Lando Norris on his errors, his critics and McLaren's 2025 title chances

    In a very special episode of The Race F1 podcast, recorded at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Edd Straw speaks to Lando Norris, Lando's race engineer Will Joseph, and McLaren CEO Zak Brown as they approach the one-year anniversary of that breakthrough victory at the Miami Grand Prix in 2024. After discussing, with Joseph, McLaren's progress over the last 12 months and the 'privilege' of being able to fight for the world title, Norris opens up about the 'complicated' process of extracting that last tenth of performance from a car - and how easy it is to make unforced errors when you're not completely comfortable. Following that, Edd speaks to Zak Brown about how he's built McLaren into a F1's current standard setters, both on and off track, with Brown explaining, amongst other things, why he wanted Andrea Stella to lead the race team and why he wouldn't want to swap either of his drivers for anyone else.
