Audi and Williams both pointed at 2030 this week but only one of them sounded like they meant it.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMattia Binotto's Audi has its own engine to work on and claims 2030 will be their year. Meanwhile, James Vowles is four years into the Williams rebuild, running the best power unit on the grid and pointing at the exact same year...but his read is not being received as favourably. Why is that though?Even Carlos Sainz admitted his faith got tested before he talked himself back round...and as for Alex Albon?

“Send us a Hey Now!”After an incredible weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix, we're back with a full race weekend review covering everything we can actually remember from three unforgettable days at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve!This episode includes:

Kimi Antonelli just won his THIRD race in a row at the Miami Grand Prix 2026 and he's only 19 years old. McLaren brought their biggest upgrades, Lando Norris led the race, and they STILL couldn't beat Mercedes. We break it down exactly why. This week on Paddock 43, we're deep in the Miami GP 2026 race review: Antonelli's record-breaking hat-trick, the McLaren undercut, Charles Leclerc's catastrophic final lap spin and post-race time penalty, Pierre Gasly's terrifying upside-down crash, and what the 2026 F1 championship standings now look like heading into the Canadian Grand Prix. In this episode: Kimi Antonelli's Miami GP win, how he became the first driver in F1 history to win from each of his first three poles Why McLaren's strategy cost Norris a race victory despite having the pace Oscar Piastri's insane comeback drive from the back of the pack to P3 Charles Leclerc: spin, barrier contact, post-race penalty.

Williams are improving...but not fast enough to be comfortable.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsDorilton Capital, the owners of the Williams F1 team, have been a very patient lot. Willing to wait years for the Formula 1 team to come good and to hire James Vowles to do the job. What's become clear is that as long as the 2026 FW48 was a good car, then all would be well...but so far, it's not. Did Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon commit to this team for a ninth placed Formula One car? I don't think so.There is a plan though. By Monza, the car should be down to the weight limit and Miami will see the start of that trend down...but what might become clear is that the cost cap that saved the team might now be hindering their progress. Their limit? Reached.

Formula 1 is already shifting… and we're only just getting started. In this episode of the Paddock 43 Podcast, we break down one of the most important moments for women in motorsport, unpack why the FIA is already tweaking the 2026 Formula 1 regulations, and get real about whether V8 or V10 engines are ever actually coming back. After a short break (because let's be honest, even F1 needed a holiday), we're back with a tight 20-minute episode covering the biggest talking points in the sport right now.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM…     CONGRATULATIONS TO KIMI FOR POLE AND THE WIN! MERCEDES CLEARLY AHEAD OF THE PACK! WITH FERRARI RIGHT BEHIND FERNANDO SEES THE END OF RACING WITH DRIVING SLOW IN THE CORNERS TO HARVEST KILOWATTS… LAWRENCE STROLL CLOSE TO THE BRAKING POINT COULD SELL ASTON MARTIN TO BYD! UNLIKE MAX…LCH LOVES THE NEW CARS! AND….   THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: ARVID LINBLAD AND UGO UGOCHUKWU….ENJOY! Kimi Antonelli became the second youngest F1 winner of all time, beating Mercedes team-mate George Russell into second place in Shanghai, while Lewis Hamilton claimed his first ever podium for Ferrari. But it was another chaotic, controversial grand prix under these new 2026 regulations. Neither McLaren made it to the grid, world champion Lando Norris and team-mate Oscar Piastri both suffering from unspecified technical gremlins. After his crash on the formation lap in Melbourne last weekend, Piastri becomes the first driver since team founder Bruce McLaren back in 1969 to fail to start successive races. But they were hardly alone. Williams' Alex Albon and Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto also failed to start, while Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen was one of three more drivers who failed to finish.   Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso had to retire due to excessive vibrations from his power unit – the same vibrations he was worried might lead to “permanent nerve damage” in Australia. The controversial new 50–50 hybrid power units for this season, combined with active aerodynamics, have completely split fans and drivers. Some are enjoying the lack of reliability and hugely increased overtaking, with drivers able to deploy “boost” and “overtake” modes. Others, notably four-time champion Max Verstappen, decry the action as “artificial”, comparing this new era to computer games such as Mario Kart. You certainly cannot accuse these new rules of failing to produce action. China, the second race of the season, was meant to herald a return to something more “normal” after an extraordinary120 overtakes at the season opener in Australia last weekend. But it was just the same. A wild start, in which the fast-starting Ferraris surged to the front from the second row. A wacky first stint, in which the Ferraris and Mercedes battled for supremacy. And then – after a safety car came out on lap 10 when Aston Martin's Lance Stroll retired – Mercedes gradually pulling clear. Antonelli, 19, eventually won by 5.5sec ahead of Russell to become the first Italian winner of a Formula One race for 20 years, since Giancarlo Fisichella at Sepang in 2006, and the second youngest grand prix winner of all time behind Verstappen, while Hamilton was another 19.7sec back, having emerged victorious from a furious tussle with team-mate Charles Leclerc in which they repeatedly swapped positions and went wheel to wheel. Leclerc said it was “fun” while Hamilton called it “one of most enjoyable races” he has ever had. Fans will be split on that sentiment. Briton Oliver Bearman was an impressive fifth for Haas, just shy of his best ever finish, fourth place in Mexico last year. Kimi Antonelli... What an incredible day! This win is a fulfilment of one of the dreams I've had ever since I first drove a go-kart. I want to say thank you to my amazing family and the incredible team at both Lauda Drive and Morgan Drive. I couldn't have done this without any of them, and it means so much to take my first victory in F1. It was a very special moment for all of us. The race itself wasn't easy. I lost a position at the start and had to fight back to get ahead. We then had to manage the Safety Car restart which wasn't easy on the Hard compound. It was difficult to get the tyres working but fortunately we were able to before we were under threat from those behind. This has been a great way to close the first double-header of the season but there is lots of work ahead. We aren't taking anything for granted and will make sure we work hard ahead of Japan and arrive in Suzuka in the strongest position we can. George Russell... Firstly, huge congratulations to Kimi on his first victory in F1. He drove a great race, and it was brilliant to be up there on the podium with him. I am sure it is a moment he will never forget and to do it with the team scoring a 1-2 is fantastic. My own race was not straightforward. I lost positions both at the start and then at the Safety Car restart as we struggled to switch the Hard tyres on. The Ferraris were quick, particularly in the early stages, and we had to get back past them twice. They were fast in all the right places and that made our job a lot more difficult. Happily, we were able to do it each time, but it cost us the chance to fight for the win. It has been a great way to start the season, and we are definitely the team to beat at the moment. We have been put under a lot of pressure at these first two races, and we need to keep pushing hard. The package is strong though so I'm looking forward to heading to the next race in Japan. Kirkwood Outduels Champ Palou To Win Arlington, Take Series Lead    ARLINGTON, Texas (Sunday, March 15, 2026) – It's been a long time since a rival driver made Alex Palou blink, but Kyle Kirkwood achieved that rare feat to win the inaugural Java House Grand Prix at Arlington on Sunday. Kirkwood took the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship lead and earned his first victory of the season despite a sluggish final pit stop by his Andretti Global crew, driving his No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda to victory under caution over the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of four-time series champion Palou, who has won the title the last three seasons. SEE: Race Results “That was so incredible,” Kirkwood said. “Man, did we have some pace. This JM Bullion Honda, Andretti, all these guys right here, they gave me the tools today. It's because of this race car we won today, because of teamwork. “One-three-four (finish) for Andretti; we're just so stacked here. I'm so stoked.” Andretti Global placed three drivers into the top four at the finish of the 70-lap street-circuit race around AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. Will Power placed third in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda for his first podium finish at his new team after 16 full-time seasons at Team Penske. Marcus Ericsson, who earned his first career pole Saturday, finished fourth in the No. 28 InPwr Honda. Pato O'Ward rounded out the top five finishers in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, the highest-placing Chevrolet-powered driver on the 14-turn, 2.73-mile circuit. “This Andretti Honda camp is fricking strong on street courses,” O'Ward said. “We've got a lot of work to do if we want to start winning races on outright pace against them.” Pure pace helped Kirkwood, who started seventh and overcome a tepid final pit stop to overhaul Palou down the stretch. Palou and Kirkwood were running first and second, respectively, when both made their final stops on the preferred three-stop strategy on Lap 49. The Chip Ganassi Racing crew completed Palou's stop in 7.7 seconds, while Kirkwood's service took 9.5 seconds due to a slow change of the right rear wheel. When both drivers returned to full steam on their out lap, Palou led Kirkwood by 2.2 seconds. But Kirkwood used the speed that helped him lead the pre-qualifying practice Saturday, pulling to within .323 of a second of Palou at the start of Lap 55, with both drivers on the more durable Firestone Firehawk tires in a straight-up duel for the win. Kirkwood didn't waste any time flexing muscle, diving under Palou from a long distance in Turn 13 near the end of Lap 55 and making the daring pass stick for the lead. “He did an awesome pass; hats off to him,” Palou said. “It was super clean, and it was pretty impressive. We'll get them in a couple weeks.” Kirkwood then started to pull away, building a five-second lead by Lap 66. Then that margin evaporated when ECR driver Christian Rasmussen nosed his No. 21 Java House Chevrolet into the tire barrier at pit exit on Lap 68, triggering the first full-course yellow of the race. That bunched the field for a one-lap dash to the checkered flag. Kirkwood pulled away on the restart and was able to exhale early in the final lap when the second and final full-course yellow flew due to a collision between the No. 18 BMax Honda of Dale Coyne Racing's Romain Grosjean and the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet of Nolan Siegel deep in the field. “Not today,” Palou said when asked if he thought he could have caught Kirkwood on the final lap. “I was pushing really hard on the first and second stint, and I could see that the 27 (Kirkwood) and the 12 (Power) were a little bit faster than us. I was like, ‘Oh, man, it's going to be quite hard.'” Kirkwood then cruised around the circuit one last time under yellow to cheers from the capacity crowd at this event, a joint venture between Penske Entertainment, the Dallas Cowboys and REV Entertainment, the official events partner of the Texas Rangers. He leads the standings by 26 points over second-place Palou after three of 18 races. “It's only race number three, so I'm not looking at the championship,” Kirkwood said. “But it is nice to say it's the first time I've ever led the championship in the INDYCAR SERIES.” The taut nature of the race, with its varying strategies about how often to stop for tires, resulted in terrific parity up front. Kirkwood, Palou and Power each led 16 laps to tie for the race high, with Ericsson fourth with 15 laps led. Caio Collet was the top-finishing rookie, 12th in the No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet fielded by AJ Foyt Racing. Phoenix winner Josef Newgarden, who entered this event in the series lead, fell to third after finishing 15th in the No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet. After three consecutive race weekends to open the season, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES will get a short break before resuming with the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix powered by AmFirst on March 27-29 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.

What's gone on with Williams in what was meant to be THEIR year?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs2026 was supposed to be the year where James Vowles had a team and car which looked normal. Not a race winner or title favourite, but at least a noticeable continuation of their overperforming 2025 car. However, what's become clear is that the F1 team grossly overestimated the task at hand at building a Formula One car for these new regulations...despite preparing for this long. Whilst the equipment and facilities HAVE improved a lot since the dark days of 2022, it's still not enough. What does this mean for Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, both having stuck with the team on the grounds of their massive overhaul. Now though? Their futures look rockier than just a few months ago.

With Williams choosing to skip this first test event of the year and instead go digital before arriving in Bahrain, is this game over for this time before the Formula 1 2026 season is even at pace? Not necessarily.Could James Vowles be leading Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz into a plan similar to Mercedes? Where data and computers are important in improving the understanding of energy?

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 49! Vroooommmm!!! We're exploring the story of Asian Pacific Islanders in Formula 1… and this is something we actually know a bit about. This is a sport long dominated by Europeans and a handful of South Americans, but there has been a small group of drivers of Asian Pacific descent who have made an impact in recent years.  We'll share a little about F1 racing in general as well as when API began making their mark in the sport. In addition to recent drivers like Alex Albon (our favorite), Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu, and now Arvid Lindblad, we'll also talk about a few engineers, leaders, and teams that have prominent Asian representation.  In our recurring segment, we'll share what we're listening to. For Ted, it's the audiobook of Babel by R.F. Kuang. It's narrated by Chris Lew Kum Hoi and Billie Fulford-Brown. For Gen, it's the music of Sarah Kinsley… specifically the song Fleeting.

LUKE BROWNING TO HIT THE TRACK IN ABU DHABI FP1 AND YOUNG DRIVER TEST Atlassian Williams Racing is pleased to share that Williams Racing Academy Driver Luke Browning will drive Alex Albon's FW47 in the first free practice session at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and will participate in the end-of-season Young Driver Test. Luke joined the Williams Racing Driver Academy in April 2023 following his stand-out 2022 season where he secured the GB3 Championship and won the 2022 Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award. Since joining the Academy he has continued this upward trajectory, winning the Macau Grand Prix in 2023, also taking pole position and the fastest lap, and finishing the 2024 FIA Formula 3 season in third with two race wins and a podium in Monaco. As part of the Williams Racing Driver Academy's proud tradition of giving young talent a path into F1, Luke has regularly driven in the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) and simulator programmes with the aim of preparing him for the future. He has balanced this with a successful FIA Formula 2 campaign, currently occupying third position in the standings and going into the final two races of the season in a fierce battle for the title. Luke Browning: “It's going to be an unforgettable weekend in Abu Dhabi fighting for the Formula 2 title while getting back behind the wheel of the FW47, and it's a challenge I'm going to relish. The Young Driver Test will give me a final opportunity to help the team prepare for 2026 and I'm looking forward to being part of a Formula 1 weekend for the last time this season. Thank you to everyone at the Driver Academy and Williams for the trust once again.” Sven Smeets, Sporting Director, Atlassian Williams Racing: “Luke's development continues to impress us, and we are looking forward to closing the season with him behind the wheel of the FW47. We have an incredibly talented group of drivers in the Williams Racing Driver Academy, and it is important for us to give them the opportunity to progress as they move up the ladder. These final sessions of the season will give Luke another valuable chance to learn from Alex and Carlos, the wider team, and further embed with our trackside operation as he looks towards a bright future.” Mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP to Make Post-Restoration Debut at 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance  Harry Segrave beside the Sunbeam 1000 HP. (Photo: Courtesy of the National Motor. Museum) PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA (November 12, 2025)­­­­ — The mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP, the first car to achieve a land speed record of 200 mph, has been asleep for over 90 years. But a team of restorers at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, England, is now in the process of gently waking this giant—and if all goes as planned, the restored beast will make its US debut at the 2026 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance before attempting a centennial run at Daytona the following spring.    “The process of restoring a one-off car like this takes real dedication,” noted Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “There is no pattern to be followed. It takes time and research, effort and expertise. We are thrilled to know that the National Motor Museum intends to send the restored car to Pebble Beach, to share with enthusiasts here.”   The Sunbeam 1000 HP was built to compete in the race for speed. The 100 mph barrier was first broken in 1904, and then it took more than two decades to reach 150 mph—a record Malcolm Campbell achieved in July of 1925 at the wheel of a Sunbeam 350 HP. The Sunbeam 1000 HP, crafted around two of the marque's powerful 22.4-liter Matabele aero engines placed to the fore and aft of the vehicle, came into being less than two years later and proved to be revolutionary. Driving it on the smooth sands of Daytona Beach on March 29, 1927, Harry Segrave recorded a speed of 203.79 mph.   “This car has been at Beaulieu since before I was born and feels like a member of the family, but one I never expected to run again,” said Ralph, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. “Watching the restoration take place has been fascinating as it has revealed so much I never knew about the car. It will be quite a thrill to have the car at Pebble Beach and is a great opportunity for us to wave the flag for the National Motor Museum!” The car's restoration is now well underway. The rear engine has already been disassembled, re-machined, restored, and refitted into the frame—and it was first fired up before an adoring crowd at the Beaulieu International Autojumble in early September. The museum team is now focused on restoring the front engine. When that, too, is back together and in place, the bodywork, which has already been restored, will be reinstalled.   “Over the last three and a half years, the Museum's team have worked tirelessly to make the mighty Sunbeam 1000 HP roar again, with help from a wide range of supporters, stakeholders and heritage engineering specialists,” said Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum. “Having experienced the first of the car's remarkable engines running once more, we are all now thrilled at the prospect of the Sunbeam returning to the United States for the first time in a century.”   John, the second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, was a motoring pioneer, who campaigned for the rights of early motorists. In the 1950s, his son Edward founded what is now the National Motor Museum to honor him, and that museum shares a long history with the Pebble Beach Concours. Edward first showed a car—his 1913 Alfonso Hispano-Suiza—at Pebble Beach in 1981, and the following year, he donated the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy, which the Concours presents annually to the best British car shown on its competition field. Ralph, the current Lord Montagu, was in attendance at the Concours this year.   To learn more about the National Motor Museum and its efforts to restore the Sunbeam 1000 HP, go to www.nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/USA.

With 16 Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships combined, Williams are the third most successful team in Formula 1 history – behind Ferrari and McLaren. But they haven't won a title since 1997 and it's 13 years since they last won a race, so Team Principal James Vowles is on a mission to bring the glory days back to Williams. In 2025, the team have taken big steps towards success. Carlos Sainz secured the team's first podium in four years when he finished third in Baku, and they've amassed their highest points total since 2016. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, James reveals what he and Carlos spoke about over dinner before that sensational podium, why that result means so much to the whole team, and the reasons Carlos had endured a frustrating season up to that point. On the other side of the garage, James shares what he thinks is different about Alex Albon this year and how he's risen to the challenge of having a much more experienced and competitive teammate. And while Williams have performed better than expected in 2025 with such a strong driver line-up, their main focus is 2026. So what opportunities will the new era of Formula 1 bring them? Given James's first-hand experience of the intense championship battles between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at Mercedes, what would his approach be if Alex and Carlos are fighting for a title in the coming years?

Otro fin de semana más que interesante que analizar en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, sobre todo por el actor inesperado que tuvimos: Max Verstappen, quien no sólo hizo la pole contra todo pronóstico, sino que se llevó la victoria adelantando en pista e imponiendo un ritmo al que no pudieron llegar ni los McLaren. Una carrera extraña. El equipo de Woking nos dejó una carrera extraña, con un intercambio de posiciones difícil de concebir, aunque muy caballeroso, al menos. Norris tuvo una mala parada, iba delante, el equipo le dijo que no le iban a hacer el undercut con Piastri, quien acabó haciéndoselo, y éste recibió la orden de devolver posición, que acató con desacuerdo, pero de forma muy obediente. Quizás el australiano es más listo que nadie porque tiene claro que tiene mucha ventaja y para qué buscarse malos rollos en el equipo. Es posible que, incluso, se vea ya Campeón, aunque esperemos que no se arrepienta, al final de temporada, de estos puntitos cedidos. El gran protagonista en Italia. Max Verstappen fue el héroe en Monza, no sólo para sus seguidores sino también para los tifosi, que cantaban su nombre en el podio. Su actuación fue contundente desde el inicio: tras perder momentáneamente la posición con Lando Norris en la primera chicane, no tardó en recuperarla con un adelantamiento limpio y espectacular. Desde entonces, encadenó vueltas rápidas que marcaron la diferencia respecto a McLaren y Ferrari, consolidando un triunfo que refuerza aún más su estatus en el campeonato. Ferrari y el resto de equipos. En cuanto a Ferrari, la Scuderia brilló en clasificación con un buen rendimiento a una vuelta, pero en carrera volvió a evidenciar sus limitaciones frente al ritmo constante de Red Bull y McLaren. Hamilton y Leclerc pelearon duro, con momentos de tensión como el adelantamiento de Piastri a Leclerc en la variante. El equipo italiano sigue mostrando una cara competitiva en algunos momentos, pero irregular en otros, lo que les aleja de la lucha directa por victorias. El papel de Mercedes fue discreto, con un Antonelli cansado y desdibujado desde la salida y un George Russell que, sin dar espectáculo, termina siempre cerca (o dentro) de los puestos de podio. Aston Martin sufrió un golpe duro con la rotura de suspensión de Fernando Alonso en la vuelta 25, que le obligó a abandonar cuando rodaba en una buena séptima posición. Entre los pilotos destacados hay que mencionar a Alex Albon, que de nuevo maximizó el potencial del Williams con un ritmo sólido y una buena gestión de neumáticos. Sainz volvió a tener mala suerte, con un toque con Bearman en la vuelta 41 que le alejó de cualquier posibilidad de puntos. Una estrategia muy plana. En lo estratégico, el GP de Italia estuvo marcado por una única parada. Los compuestos medios resistieron bien, permitiendo completar gran parte de la carrera sin excesivo desgaste. Está claro que la carrera se hubiera podido completar, sin cambiar, con un único juego de gomas duras (como demostró Ocon). Y, para dar un contrapunto a la estrategia dominante, la de medios – duros, McLaren, pasando de medios a blandos… porque está claro que los neumáticos aguantaban. Italia fue un Gran Premio clásico, donde la estrategia fue la esperada pero la ejecución, no. Verstappen dio el espectáculo y McLaren “el espectáculo”, con sus Papaya Rules. En cualquier caso, el Campeonato está casi decidido, pero las carreras siguen siendo interesantes en la zona media, pero también en la alta cuando Verstappen salta a la palestra con alguna de sus genialidades.

Join host Tom Horrox and panelist George Howson as they look ahead to the twists, turns, and tyre talk of the Hungarian Grand Prix – where overtaking is rare, but chaos is never off the table. In this episode, the team breaks down the chances of every squad on the grid, from front-runners to midfield maybes, and debates who's most likely to shine at the tight and technical Hungaroring. Can Ferrari keep their form? Is this where Mercedes finally deliver? And does anyone know what's going on at Aston Martin? We also take a trip down memory lane, revisiting classic Hungarian GP moments – from surprise wins to famous fails – before George launches into another impassioned rant about Alpine's ongoing identity crisis, and Tom nervously watches Kimi Antonelli's lap times, praying he continues to outscore Alex Albon and win him a bet. All that plus weekend predictions, one-lap pace hot takes, and a whole lot of Hungarian history!

Alex Albon went into 2025 facing one big question.  With the arrival of Carlos Sainz at Williams, how would he measure up against his most competitive teammate since racing alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull? So far, Alex has answered that question on track – having the edge over Carlos in qualifying and on race day in the first half of the season.  But Alex never doubted his ability to rise to that challenge. So, is he a better driver than last year or are we just appreciating his talent more?  Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Alex talks about what it's like having Carlos on the other side of the garage, what changes he has made to his approach this year, why the culture and energy at Williams feels different, and how his relationship with Team Principal James Vowles is growing. Plus, Alex also looks ahead to 2026 and the arrival of new cars and regulations. Will next season be his time to shine? It's All To Drive For in 2025. Be there!

The highly anticipated "F1: The Movie" is set for release next week, boasting an impressive 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Actor Brad Pitt was seen driving a 2023 MCL60 at COTA, adding to the film's buzz , and the F1 director has teased a "Days of Thunder" crossover as a potential sequel concept. Veteran driver Fernando Alonso has achieved a remarkable milestone, having started an astounding 35.7% of all F1 Grand Prix races in history. Young talents Dino Beganovic and Alex Dunne are set to gain valuable experience in Free Practice 1 (FP1) at Austria, stepping in for Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, respectively. In organizational news, the FIA has restructured, resulting in the dismissal of Sara Mariani, its Head of Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion. Istanbul race organizers have publicly stated their readiness to host a Grand Prix if the new Madrid circuit isn't completed for the 2026 season. Liberty Media has received unconditional approval to acquire MotoGP, with the deal expected to finalize by July 3, 2025. James Vowles has signed a new long-term deal with the Williams Formula 1 team, seen by drivers like Alex Albon as a powerful "vote of confidence". The podcast also features an in-depth look at the Austrian Grand Prix's rich and varied history across multiple venues, from the Zeltweg Airfield to the current Red Bull Ring. Max Verstappen has notably dominated at the Red Bull Ring in recent years, securing multiple victories. The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix saw a dramatic race where George Russell secured victory for Mercedes after a collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who were fiercely battling for the lead. Ferrari's 2025 underperformance is primarily attributed to a fundamental issue with their car's design, specifically its difficulty in running very low to the ground without incurring excessive plank wear in high-speed corners. Both Ferrari and Red Bull are anticipated to introduce substantial upgrades to their cars, with a particular focus on the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix. Key talking points for the upcoming weekend include whether Max Verstappen can reassert dominance on his home turf, Mercedes' momentum after Russell's 2024 win, McLaren's superior tire management, the impact of Ferrari's upgrades, potential track limits issues, and the performance of junior drivers in FP1.

Episode Show Notes: May 22, 2025 Welcome to the Scuderia F1 Podcast! Tonight we're recapping the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix weekend was a thrilling and controversial affair, ignited by Lando Norris's sensational pole position, narrowly edging out Charles Leclerc. However, the grid was dramatically reshaped by multiple penalties, notably Lewis Hamilton's three-place drop due to an "inaccurate radio message" leading to impeding Max Verstappen, and Lance Stroll's cumulative demotion to the very back. Race day saw Norris convert his pole into a commanding victory, marking his first Monaco win and second of the season, contributing to a fantastic double podium for McLaren. The drama continued with early incidents like Gabriel Bortoleto hitting the wall and Pierre Gasly colliding with Yuki Tsunoda, highlighting Monaco's unforgiving nature. Adding to the controversy, George Russell received a drive-through penalty for skipping the Nouvelle Chicane and controversially ignoring team advice to return the position, claiming Alex Albon was driving "erratically". The new mandatory two-pit stop rule also sparked debate, with drivers like Carlos Sainz calling the race "manipulated" and Max Verstappen stating it "didn't do anything" for racing at the front, ultimately shifting chaos to strategic manipulation rather than on-track overtakes.

Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by F1TV lead presenter, Laura Winter, and French F1 journalist for L'Equipe, Fred Ferret, to dissect an action-packed Miami Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri's fourth win of the season means he now leads McLaren teammate Lando Norris by 16 points at the top of the World Championship. So, after a mega battle with the reigning champion for P1, is Oscar the new Max Verstappen? Even though Lando lost more ground in the title race, was this weekend a step in the right direction for the Brit? And after his sensational pole lap and defensive masterclass against the McLarens, will being a father actually make Verstappen an even better driver?  Kimi Antonelli became the youngest polesitter in any format in F1 history with his Sprint pole and outqualified George Russell for the first time this season. How have Mercedes 'nurtured' the 18-year-old to settle into Formula 1 so smoothly? Elsewhere, Williams secured a double points finish for the second race in a row. Why were they quicker than Ferrari in Miami? Alex Albon joins the pod to share great insight into how he bounced back from his penalty in F1 Sprint and why there was some confusion over team orders between himself and Carlos Sainz. Plus, speaking of team orders, what did Laura and Fred think of how Ferrari managed their strategy with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton? 

Tom Clarkson is joined by former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and Sky Sports F1 presenter, Natalie Pinkham, to analyse the 2025 season so far and discuss what might happen at this weekend's Miami Grand Prix, which also features the second F1 Sprint of the year. After five races, Oscar Piastri is 10 points clear of his teammate Lando Norris at the top of the World Championship. What has Oscar got right so far this season? Where can Lando improve? What advantage does Oscar have that could help his championship campaign? And will returning to the scene of his first Grand Prix victory last year help Lando get his title challenge back on track? Also on the agenda: does Max Verstappen's Red Bull future depend on whether he becomes a five-time World Champion in 2025? What's different about George Russell and Alex Albon this year? Do Aston Martin need Adrian Newey's input on their current car? And who will be on the podium in Miami? It's All To Drive For. Be there!

And can Williams move further up the grid this season or is the introduction of new regulations in 2026 the priority for Team Principal James Vowles? Tom Clarkson has been listening back to his interviews with James, Carlos and Alex from 2024 to try and find the answers to those questions ahead of the new season.
