We look ahead to the 2025 Formula 1 season in our special season preview edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to run through the whole field and set the scene for this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix and beyond.
Lando Norris and McLaren’s status as title favourites is discussed, along with the role Oscar Piastri could have to play. We also ask if Red Bull has produced the car it needs to for Max Verstappen to win a fifth consecutive world championship.
Lewis Hamilton’s prospects with Ferrari, and up against Charles Leclerc, are also delved into along with the chances of his old team, Mercedes, emerging as a contender with George Russell..
We also take a look at midfield standouts Alpine and Williams, attempt to work out where Haas really stands, and look at the prospects of Racing Bulls.
And with Aston Martin and, in particular, Sauber, having poor pre-seasons, we ask if all is lost for them in 2025.

Samarth Kanal is joined by Val Khorounzhiy, Josh Suttill, and special guest Michael Urcinoli of Grid Rival to preview the 2025 F1 season from a fantasy perspective.
The specific fantasy game we discuss on this podcast is Grid Rival’s contracts-based F1 game, which we think is the best fantasy F1 game out there, especially for more invested and knowledgeable fans, who want a deeper gameplay experience.
So listen in as Michael gives an overview of the game rules, shares pro tips and strategies, and explains the most common mistakes first time players make. There's also plenty of trash talk, as Val, Josh and Samarth reveal who they've picked for their teams and explain the logic behind their selections.

We hit the big news stories in Formula 1 and delve into the stories of pre-season testing with the help of Kimi Raikkonen’s former race engineer Julien Simon-Chautemps in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Along with Jon Noble and host Edd Straw, Simon-Chautemps sheds light on the successful legal bid mounted by Ferrari to prevent Enrico Cardile starting work for Aston Martin before July, and the latest in a long-line of flexi wing controversies.
We then look back at pre-season testing, which includes Simon-Chautemps running through long-run pace analysis produced by motorsport software, data and technology company Paceteq and shedding light on how teams approach analysing and improving their own performance - and that of rivals.
He also explains what teams do between testing and the first race of the season in a bid to implement the lessons learned.
And finally, we discuss the latest FIA controversy with Motor Sport UK’s David Richards launching a public critique of president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

How strong a favourite is McLaren? Is Lewis Hamilton able to drive the way he wants to in the Ferrari? How worried should Aston Martin be? These are among the questions we answer in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Ben Anderson and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to work through listener questions about the upcoming Formula 1 season based on what happened in testing.
We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Bahrain as a test venue, the performance of the rookies and the thorny question of sandbagging.
We also share some trackside watching tips, lay out Fernando Alonso’s thinking and ponder whether Gabriel Bortoletto should be worried.

F1 the final day of F1 pre-season testing complete, Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to assess every team's performance and rank where each sits in the pecking order heading into the first race of the season in Australia.
Amongst the topics discussed are whether Williams or Alpine will head the midfield, whether Red Bull are in trouble after a more difficult than expected test, and whether McLaren are really as far ahead of the rest as some in the paddock would have you think.
Mark Hughes also returns for a deep dive analysis of the top four teams' times.

Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to unpick the first day of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain.
McLaren's Lando Norris ended up top of the timesheet - but was the papaya car the one that looked most comfortable on track? How did Lewis Hamilton fare on his first proper day of Ferrari running? And do Red Bull and Mercedes look better or worse than they did 12 months ago?
All those questions are discussed, plus Mark Hughes sends in his pace analysis and the guys share their thoughts on each car after watching each new machine from trackside.

We look ahead to three days of testing in Bahrain in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw in Manama to explain why this could be the toughest-to-call pre-season ever in F1 and run through the big storylines that will likely dominate the test.
Red Bull’s hopes, Lewis Hamilton’s progress and McLaren’s status as favourite is among the topics, as well as tyre choice and why this will be a crucial opportunity for Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli to show what level he’s at ahead of his rookie season.
We are then joined by our ex-F1 technical director Gary Anderson, who runs the rule over the limited glimpse we’ve supposedly had of the Red Bull RB21 and the Mercedes W16 that broke cover on Monday.

Aston Martin’s hopes for 2025 with the new AMR 25 are discussed in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble joins Edd Straw to examine why this year’s car is important for Aston Martin if it’s to deliver on the high-expectations for 2025, and what the team needs to do to prove its on the right track.
We explain why Adrian Newey’s impact is yet to come, and highlight the role Andy Cowell has played in changing the way the team works in a way that should hopefully ensure it has an easier-to-drive car this year.
Finally, Gary Anderson, who was the founding technical director of this team in its Jordan guise, joins us to offer his in-depth technical analysis of the car.

On the very first episode of his new show, The Team Principal Podcast, former Aston Martin and Alpine boss Otmar Szafnauer is joined by The Race's Ben Anderson to discuss how a team principal goes about integrating a new driver into a team.
First, Otmar talks about Lewis Hamilton's switch from Mercedes to Ferrari and the role Scuderia boss Fred Vasseur will have played in helping the seven-time world champion settle over the winter.
Otmar offers his thoughts on what he'd do if he was in Fred's shoes, and then contrasts that approach with the approach Mercedes boss Toto Wolff will have to adopt to help Hamilton's replacement - rookie Kimi Antonelli - settle into his new life as a full-time grand prix driver.
Within the discussion, Otmar reveals the techniques and strategies he used in his own career, and explains why being able to adapt your approach to suit the unique personality of each driver is so important for a team principal.
To round off the episode, Otmar casts an eye over 2025's driver pairings, giving his team principal's take on which of the duos will be the most harmonious, which he'd like to manage, and which he expects to provide fireworks...

We dive into the big talking point of Formula 1 pre-season as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc drove the new Ferrari SF-25 for the first time at Fiorano today.
Jon Noble joins Edd Straw moments after hearing Lewis Hamilton’s first full press conference as a Ferrari driver to explain why the claim he is “reinvigorated” holds water.
Hamilton’s very obvious enthusiasm at being a Ferrari driver and confidence in it having everything it needs to be a world championship winner this year makes it very clear that he doesn’t for one moment regret leaving Mercedes.
We also explain the approach Ferrari has taken with the new car, with Gary Anderson casting his expert technical eye over what we’ve seen of the SF-25 so far.

We react to Formula 1’s first-ever group launch event in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble and Charley Williams join Edd Straw from the O2 Arena in London to appraise F1 75 and ask whether this one-off event could become a regular one.
We pick out the teams that made the best (and worst) impressions with their segments and what we want to see more, or less, of in the future.
We also gauge the crowd reaction and what it says about F1. And with plenty of news emerging from the day, we also ask if F1’s Monaco two-stop plan is a good one.

We tell all about the surprise launch of the first new Formula 1 car of 2025 - the McLaren MCL39 - in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
First, Mark Hughes joins Edd Straw at a cold and blustery Silverstone to discuss McLaren’s prospects of the season and what drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as well as team principal Andrea Stella, revealed about the season ahead.
And we also highlight the influence of a certain ex-Red Bull technical leader that is very clear in the approach it has taken this year.
Then, Gary Anderson joins us to give his detailed technical appraisal of the car and explain why he’s convinced by the direction the team has taken.

We look ahead to Formula 1’s imminent launch season in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to explain how the time between now and the first day of testing in Bahrain on February 26 will play out.
The centrepiece of launch season is the F1 75 event at London’s O2 Arena on February 18, where all 10 teams will have a slot on stage to reveal their livery. We explain what to expect from that, and debate whether it will live up to fan expectations.
We also explain what cars we might see appearing before them, and the restrictions that mean it’s difficult to launch a genuine 2025 car before the big event in London.
And with just a small window between F1 75 and freight leaving for Bahrain, we run through the teams that will be revealing the cars in the days before testing starts.
Finally, we each pick out which car - or cars - we’re most looking forward to seeing break cover.

We dissect Formula 1’s latest flexi-wings row in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Following news of a technical directive being issued curbing front wing flexibility, Jon Noble and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to explain what’s changing and why.
Inevitably, there’s the question of which teams this could help and hinder to consider, as well as the political dimension as the usual competitive paranoia bubbles up among the ultra-competitive teams.
We also explain why flexi-wings can’t be regulated out of F1, and the reasons for the eternal push-and-pull battle between the rulemakers and teams on what’s permitted.
And with the rule change kicking in after eight races, we ask whether it could distort the season and lead to a competitive swing in June.

We dare to attempt to predict the 2026 Formula 1 driver market in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to run through the 11 teams and settle on the most likely pairings for 2026.
The likelihood of curveballs like Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari move not working out and many more changing the game is addressed, as we lay out the market landscape.
Last year’s podcast attempting to do this was ultimately derailed by Hamilton’s shock Ferrari deal, and even with things seemingly being more settled heading into 2026 we explain why there’s still potential for a few surprises.
And as well as discussing the 10 existing teams, we also look at what Cadillac might do for its first season in F1.

Amid the talk of Max Verstappen heading to Aston Martin in 2026, we address the rumours in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
In a follow-up recording to the live shows we recently staged in London and Birmingham, we tackle some of the vast number of questions we received from the audience - including one about the reigning world champion’s future.
We also discuss other aspects of Aston Martin’s rise, including the influence of Adrian Newey and Andy Cowell over driver decisions and Lance Stroll’s future.
Other topics include how Lewis Hamilton will handle Ferrari politics, why Red Bull eschewed Carlos Sainz and whether Andrea Stella could have had the same impact on Alpine as he has on McLaren.
We also ask how clearcut the decision was for Gabriel Bortoleto to sign for Sauber, what qualifies as success for Audi, the reasons for the expected increased field spread under the new regulations next year and much more.
