Edd Straw is joined in Imola by Mark Hughes and Jon Noble to discuss all the important talking points from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.Chief among them is how Red Bull managed to emerge with the quickest car, and whether Max Verstappen would still have won, even if McLaren's Oscar Piastri had beaten him into Turn 1.There's also chat about how Ferrari saved face at its home race, after a dismal qualifying, plus there are plenty of questions to answer from The Race Members' Club on everything from Yuki Tsunoda's response to his big quali crash to why we had one safety car and one VSC for what looked like very similar retirements.

With five wins from a possible six in 2025 (plus another victory in the Miami sprint), you might be forgiven for thinking McLaren's MCL39 is without fault.

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.

Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Mark Hughes to review the Bahrain Grand Prix. After Oscar Piastri's triumph, they ask whether the in-form Australian is now the title favourite, despite McLaren team-mate Lando Norris still holding a slight edge in the standings. Also discussed is George Russell's remarkable drive to second for Mercedes, which included the Briton having to deal with a litany of issues in the cockpit. There's also a detailed explanation as to why Lewis Hamilton is struggling for performance for Ferrari, and why Red Bull's weekend unravelled so badly on a day when champion Max Verstappen admitted everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. And the episode is rounded out, as ever, with a host of questions from The Race Members' Club, with Edd, Jon and Mark answering teasers on strategy, the safety car, Yuki Tsunoda and more.

The Bahrain Grand Prix weekend is set to be significant both on and off track, with a meeting of F1's stakeholders about ideas for a possible change of engine formula - perhaps even to V10 engines - taking place on Friday. Jonathan Noble joins Edd Straw to explain exactly what the meeting is about, and how far F1 really is from making such a dramatic change, and what options might be on the table for discussion. We also tackle what it will take to make a change, and why it would be unrealistic to expect the ‘26 rule changes to be rolled back on at this stage. McLaren's chances of finally winning the Bahrain Grand Prix, which is effectively a second home race given the longstanding stake of Mumtalakat, are discussed, along with the prospects for Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes. And in part three of the podcast, we also tackle listener questions on Cadillac, dirty air, Aston Martin's 2027 line up and more.CLAIM A FREE MONTH ON PATREON HERE - GET THERE BEFORE ALL THE CODES ARE CLAIMED!

We dissect Ferrari's disappointing start to the season and ask if there's any sign of a turnaround in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Ben Anderson and Roberto Boccafogli, who is a key part of The Race's new Italian YouTube channel, join Edd Straw to consider an Italian perspective on goings on at Ferrari. We also evaluate Lewis Hamilton's start, and the impact of his sprint-race win in China, and how Italy has taken to him after his arrival. The question of whether Kimi Antonelli has moved the needle in his home country is also discussed. With The Race already on the ground in Japan, we hear from Luke Hinsull and Scott Mitchell-Malm, who were there for Tsunoda-related events in Tokyo, as well as asking what the new Red Bull Racing driver can achieve on home soil this weekend. Scott even grabs a few minutes with Tsunoda himself to talk through his preparations and expectations ahead of Suzuka.Join The Race Members' Club on Patreon today - we even have an F1-only tier!

In the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, we ask to what extent Max Verstappen's brilliance is papering over the cracks at Red Bull, given the team's struggles with its second driver, its difficult car, and the continued exodus of senior personnel. Nelson Valkenburg and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to evaluate what Verstappen has to do to make things work at Red Bull, and what he makes of the latest driver switch. We also look at Yuki Tsunoda's prospects for Suzuka and beyond in place of Liam Lawson, and the skill set that should at least make him better prepared than his predecessor. We also tackle more listener questions on a variety of topics ranging from who would be Verstappen's optimum team-mate to the value of the four-times world champion's sim-racing endeavours.
