Podcasts about Japanese Grand Prix

This Formula Fanatics episode recaps the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka: “Kimi” wins despite a poor start, finishes 14 seconds ahead of Piastri, and the race features Beerman's major 50G crash after a sudden slowdown ahead, plus a long cleanup that impacts strategy and hurts Russell after a safety-car sequence. They discuss concerns about speed disparity, energy management, and rumored FIA reconsideration of the 50/50 electric split, along with upcoming regulation changes and Ferrari upgrades, noting Miami is likely processional while Canada may better reveal impacts. They criticize Cadillac's poor performance and debate Audi's mid-pack results and viability, including talk of leadership rumors. Tania gives her take on the F1 movie: impressive visuals but an unrealistic, overlong storyline, with skepticism about a sequel; they mention interest in a forthcoming Schumacher project focused on 1994. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Suzuka Recap Begins 01:20 Winner and Early Drama 02:00 Beerman Crash Breakdown 02:50 Power Unit Rules Debate 03:40 Cleanup Chaos and Safety Car 04:40 Russell Radio Weirdness 05:21 Cadillac Strategy Fiasco 06:42 Battles and Hamilton Buzz; Ferrari F40 & Off Track Drama 09:31 Mansell on Hamilton's Eighth Title, and Does Eight Titles Matter? 15:18 Is Racing Too Artificial Now? 15:35 Reg Changes Preview 16:45 Audi Midfield Debate 20:08 Drivers And Leadership 21:30 Miami And Canada Outlook 23:05 F1 Movie Reactions 29:15 Schumacher '94 Hype 30:37 Wrap Up And Sponsors ==================== Formula Fanatics, is the high-octane sub-series of Break/Fix Podcast's Drive Thru Motorsports News!

Aston Martin's gone from horrific to embarrassing...not the best thing in the world but it's something.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAfter just three race weekends, Aston Martin and Honda have gotten a car across the line around Suzuka. The Japanese Grand Prix marked the moment when genuine progrees had been made thanks to Honda...and the excuses become more traditional. Gone are the mind-melting nerve damaging reports...and now just a case of finding power and pace. Could this wind up exposing Aston Martin's car in the long run as Honda fix their batteries and end the vibrations? Because Honda isn't letting Adrian Newey and Papa Stroll off the hook here.

In this episode of the Autosport F1 show, Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling break down a wild third round that saw Kimi Antonelli claim his second win of the season for Mercedes, officially becoming the youngest driver ever to lead the World Championship standings. But while Antonelli celebrates, the "new era" regulations are facing their biggest safety test yet. We dive deep into the massive 50G shunt between Oli Bearman and Franco Colapinto that has the paddock—and Andrea Stella—sounding the alarm. In this episode: The Silver Arrows Scuffle: How the safety car spared Mercedes from a very "public" conversation between Antonelli and George Russell. The "Autocorrect" Problem: Why drivers are frustrated with "mechanical algorithms" taking control of their power deployment. Max Verstappen's Future: Red Bull is struggling, and Max is hinting at "life decisions" outside of F1. Is he actually ready to walk away? Best of the Rest: Praise for Pierre Gasly's "under the radar" brilliance and Oscar Piastri's near-miss at a win. Technical Deep Dive: Why Ferrari is killing it off the line but struggling on the straights. With a five-week break before Miami, the FIA and teams are headed to the boardroom to "fix" the rules.

I'm a patient ladder man...but I sense that we were all duped regarding 2026.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix set in motion a new conversation. That the regulations cannot be ignored in their current guise. The crash of Oliver Bearman and the lack of power Franco Colapinto highlighted an issue drivers have brough to the FIA and FOM's attention for MONTHS now. Even Haas' Ayao Komatsu spoke out...and Haas have every reason to like the F1 2026 ruleset.Thusly, it's important to think about the circumstances of these regs of Formula One...and how they have wound up being more political than environmental.

Who would shine in the land of the rising sun as George Russell and Kimi Antonelli went head-to-head at the Japanese Grand Prix? But the post-race reaction was dominated by comments from four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who tells BBC F1's Jennie Gow that he is “not enjoying” the sport and is considering his F1 future. Harry Benjamin, W Series race-winner Alice Powell and F1 journalist Rebecca Clancy react to Verstappen's comments and analyse the action at Suzuka. Plus, 1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill makes a guest appearance to speak about Verstappen, and reminisce on his championship win 30 years ago.

Complaints against Formula 1 will continue as the sport prepares to race at the legendary Suzuka in Japan. Will Max Verstappen lead the way...with regards to complaints? Most F1 fans love Suzuka because every corner feels like an adrenaline shot — but this weekend, the circuit's energy might be starved. Could it be the fans? The racing? Or are the batteries just running out of juice? Kunal and Soumil break down how the energy harvesting chaos at Suzuka could turn qualifying into a slow-motion tumble, and reveal why this energy crisis might be the biggest twist of the Japanese GP. You'll discover: how teams plan to harvest power in tricky corners like the S's and Degners, and why every driver's need for battery power could make or break their race. We break down the myth of driver risk in racing — spoiler: it's mostly about smart programming and less about brave risk-taking. Plus, get the inside scoop on how qualifying at Suzuka could turn into a parade of strategy, with risks that might just make your favorite overtaking spots some of the most exciting moments of the season. We also chat about the future of F1's young guns: Kimi Antonelli's chances of becoming the youngest winner ever, and Oscar Piastri's wild season of DNFs and disqualifications. Which driver has the guts, the skill, and maybe a little luck to dominate Suzuka? And why the upcoming break might be just what teams like Mercedes and Ferrari need — or dread. This episode is perfect for anyone tired of predictable races and craving the chaos, the strategy, and the drama of F1's energy-starved Suzuka showdown.

Kimi Antonelli makes history...yet again. Is this the Kimi Antonelli era? Is Max Verstappen's era coming to an end? Could Oscar Piastri have won the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, and what about George Russell? McLaren are a delightful second fastest car, is Ferrari always chasing? Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah discuss and review the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix - the key talking points, narratives, rivalries and headlines. Imagine a sport that's as unpredictable as your Wi-Fi connection, but with speeds that make even the fastest internet jealous. That's F1 right now — a high-octane rollercoaster with a few chokeslams along the way. So, buckle up, because we're diving into the chaos, the changes, and the drivers who are turning the sport upside down. After a season filled with surprises and seemingly rewriting its own rulebook, F1's landscape is morphing faster than a transformer in action. From new rules to driver power plays, here's what you need to know about how this sport might just be heading for a complete overhaul. Spoiler alert: It's not just about racing anymore. Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 1:30 Are We Witnessing a New Era in F1 Tech and Regulations? 5:00 The Drivers' Dilemma: Is the Sport Losing Its Soul? 8:30 The Power of Player Politics and Who Holds the Real Saying 12:00 The Absence of a Dominant Narrative: Is the Sport Losing Its Heritage? 15:30 Final Takeaway The future of Formula One is being shaped right now — with rule changes, driver activism, and technological shifts all playing their part. Whether it evolves into a more exciting spectacle or a more regulated chess game remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure: racing as we know it is in flux, and the sport's next chapter could redefine what “speed” really means. So, gear up, folks. The next few years promise more drama, more drama, and maybe, just maybe, the purest form of racing we all love. #F1 #F12026 #JapaneseGP #SuzukaGP #JapanGP Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailDescription:The boys are back to break down an absolutely wild Round 3 of the 2026 F1 season at the legendary Suzuka Circuit! While the Japanese cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Red Bull is experiencing a full-blown meltdown. With cars clipping on the straights and champions threatening to quit, the new regulations are turning the grid completely upside down.In this episode, we dive deep into:Antonelli's Back-to-Back Brilliance: Kimi Antonelli capitalized on a safety car to secure his second consecutive win. He is the first driver since Charles Leclerc in 2019 to win a race immediately following his maiden victory!Red Bull's Total Collapse: Max Verstappen finished a shocking 12th place. The Red Bull car is struggling massively with the new engine regulations, losing serious speed due to "clipping" on the straights. Max is so furious with the current state of Formula 1 that rumors are swirling he might just walk away from the sport.A Fresh Podium: Oscar Piastri took a brilliant second place for a resurgent McLaren, proving their upgrades are working. Charles Leclerc rounded out the podium in third. Ferrari has successfully secured a podium finish in every single race so far this season!The Slap of the Week: Oliver Bearman gets called out for a brutal Q1 elimination after his stellar start to the year. The Haas team as a whole also gets a slap for a double points-less weekend, even though they miraculously maintained fourth in the constructor standings.Quizmaster's Cockpit: We test our historical F1 knowledge with Suzuka trivia. We wildly underestimate that 13 different drivers have clinched a world title at the Japanese Grand Prix!With a massive four-week "Spring Break" ahead of us before the Miami Grand Prix, teams have a lot of soul-searching and problem-solving to do.

Blimey. I don't think George Russell expected this to happen...and the FIA hoped it wouldn't.Join the VS Posse today!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXm93J-6YEUEBs8WlLagrA/joinEven though this year's F1 Japanese Grand Prix was more interesting the 2025 edition, it wasn't a complete success. Despite more overtakes, the regulators saw their 2026 Formula 1 rules suffer the power starving nature of Suzuka...and a big crash. Is it time for the FIA to sit up even more and take note between now and Miami? Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli secured his second win of his career AND leads the championship for the first time, nine points ahead of Russell. No more senior-junior dynamic in Toto's team? And oh yes, McLaren announced they are back in business with Oscar Piastri.Who else won, lost, or were just plain meh?#f1 #japanesegp #formula1 #f1news #f1latest #formulaone #japanesegrandprix #f1predictions #predictions #maxverstappen #redbullracing #lewishamilton #charlesleclerc #redbull #f12026 #formula12025

Hour 2 kicks off with the guys reacting to buzz about Tom Brady potentially considering another NFL comeback, despite his roles with the Las Vegas Raiders and in broadcasting. They debate whether Brady could still play at a high level, react to the league shutting down a return, and touch on evolving NFL topics like new kickoff rules and elite kicking. The conversation then shifts to the NFL Draft, with Ty Simpson vs. Fernando Mendoza sparking debate after comments from Dan Orlovsky, while Joe pushes back on the narrative around supporting talent and Pro Days. Plus, Hollywood's Headlines covers everything from the Japanese Grand Prix to Shohei Ohtani memorabilia, viral coaching moments, and a controversial MLB 9-9-9 promotion

We are back! After a quick trip to the historic Darlington Raceway we are here to talk all about Reddick's fourth win of the season! We make our picks for Martinsville and talk about what we might see this Sunday at the Paperclip. We go over all we missed from IndyCar, NHRA, and F1 from the last couple weeks. Thanks for tuning in! 

Coming off Throwback/Alumni weekend for NASCAR at Darlington, Phil and Josh are here to discuss all three races at the track Too Tough To Tame. Tyler Reddick had to overcome multiple issues and the speed of Brad Keselowski to win his fourth race out of six to start the 2026 Cup Series season. The guys go over how he did so, other players and the points heading to Martinsville. Justin Allgaier utilized a poor final pit stop by Kyle Larson's crew and a strong restart to win his second race of the season in the O'Reilly Series and add to his points lead. Corey Heim used new tires and overtime restarts to make it back to the front for his first Truck Series win of 2026, while teammate and replacement Kayden Honeycutt dominated. Phil and Josh do their reviews, provide their takes and give updates leading into Martinsville and Rockingham respectively. A busy GSP Roundup covers IMSA at Sebring, NHRA, MotoGP/Moto2, Formula E, Supercross, World Superbike and Indy NXT before the guys come back together to make their picks for the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, IndyCar at Barber and NASCAR Cup/O'Reilly at Martinsville. Josh lets us know all things going on in iRacing on the Sim Segment and Phil mentions his participation in a sim race at G-Force Racing Lounge before the usual social media updates.

Formula 1 heads to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix, and we've got you covered with everything you need to know before lights out. Kurt's back from vacation (finally), and the grid didn't wait—there's already chaos brewing in the paddock. We break down the big headline: Jonathan Wheatley's shock departure from Alpine and what his rumored move to Aston Martin could mean for the power balance in Formula 1. Is this the start of a major shake-up behind the scenes? Then we shift gears to Suzuka—one of the most iconic and punishing circuits in F1. We dive into: Which teams are bringing critical upgrades

Suzuka is one of F1's most iconic tracks… but let's be honest, the racing hasn't exactly lived up to the hype in recent years. So — is that about to change?This week on the Everything Trackside Podcast, we preview the Japanese Grand Prix and ask whether the new regulations can finally bring the old Suzuka back. Could we actually see overtakes in places like 130R? Stranger things have already happened this season.We get into:Mercedes' scary strong start (and are they holding back?)Ferrari vs Mercedes — is it engine vs aero?Red Bull question marks and Max in revenge modeMcLaren's reliability nightmareHaas hype train (yes, really)And the absolute chaos going on behind the scenes at Aston Martin & AudiPlenty of bold predictions, a few hot takes, and the usual bit of nonsense along the way.

Jonathan Wheatley is gone from Audi after just two races, Mattia Binotto is back in the team principal seat (cue the Ferrari PTSD), and Aston Martin's Honda nightmare is getting worse by the weekend. Could Wheatley's move to Silverstone signal something bigger brewing behind the scenes? Mike has a theory, and it involves a power unit swap nobody's talking about yet.Meanwhile, Max Verstappen dominated a four-hour race at the Nürburgring in a Mercedes GT3 — only to get disqualified two hours later because his team used seven sets of tyres instead of six. McLaren's title defense hit rock bottom in China with a double DNS after both cars suffered electrical failures, Pérez somehow made his Cadillac debut even worse by spinning into his own teammate on lap one, and the calendar just lost Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to geopolitics.Then we look ahead to the race every driver dreams about. Suzuka — the figure-of-eight, the S-curves, 130R at 300 km/h, and the most passionate fans in motorsport. Vettel said it was designed by the gods. Hamilton says every lap feels like driving through history. And for one episode, we're going to tell you why it's the greatest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar and why this Japanese Grand Prix might be where the 2026 season truly reveals itself.It's race week, zero filter, all the chaos.

The 2026 Formula 1 Season is here, and it's Round 3. The iconic Suzuka Circuit returns to the F1 calendar, owned by Honda of course. Who right now, are absolutely... hmm maybe not. Will we see much change from the pecking order in China? Let's get into all of the details, plus Bangers & Clangers predictions as per usual. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.

Join RacingNews365's Ian Parkes, Sam Coop and Nick Golding as they look ahead to this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix. Jonathan Wheatley's Audi exit is a key talking point, as is whether Max Verstappen's critical comments are damaging F1.Rather watch your podcasts? Then click here!

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM… MERCEDES CAUSE PANIC! RIVAL TEAMS LOOK FOR FIA INTERVENTION BEFORE START OF SEASON. ALL EYES ON ADRIAN NEWEY AND ASTON MARTIN'S EXTREME NEWEY DESIGN BLOWING PEOPLES MIND! WILLIAMS COULD BE SAND BAGGING... AND, FERNANDO STILL THINKING OF THE TRIPLE CROWN!! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST: OLIVIER PANIS! Olivier Panis, originally from Oullins, Lyon, is a former French Formula One driver. Early in his career, Panis began with karting, progressing through several junior series before moving up to the French Formula 3 series. By 1990, he secured 4th place in the championship and achieved runner-up status the following year. After karting, Panis competed in two seasons of F3000. His initial season involved challenges with the Apamotox team's stubborn Lola car, while the second season saw him racing for the highly viewed DAMS Equipe team. His perseverance paid off when he was crowned champion, setting the stage for his entry into Formula 1 with Ligier. At 27, Panis joined the French-based Ligier F1 team in 1994. He secured a surprise second-place finish at Hockenheim that season, ending the season 11th overall in the Drivers' Championship. He continued to impress, securing another unexpected second place at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix, despite trailing two laps behind the leader, and finished 8th in the championship. Panis's most astonishing triumph came at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix, where he drove his way to victory in treacherously wet conditions. It marked Ligier's first win in 15 years—their last—and was the first French victory in a French car at Monaco in 66 years. However, apart from this win, Panis failed to finish higher than fifth for the remainder of the season. In 1997, racing for Prost, who had bought Ligier, Panis showed promise, placing third in the championship standings after six races. Unfortunately, a crash in Canada broke his leg, sidelining him for eight races. He returned for the season's last three races and finished ninth in the championship. The 1998 season was less successful for Panis, who struggled to score points under Prost's management. He earned only a single point across the following season, leading to the end of his relationship with the team. Panis then considered an offer from Williams but opted to test for McLaren instead, which kept his presence in the paddock despite a full-time drive. He joined BAR in 2001, although the team didn't meet his expectations, finishing 14th for two consecutive seasons. In 2003, Panis moved to the new Toyota team to provide his experience and mentor his teammate, Cristiano da Matta. Although he improved in qualifying, his overall results mirrored his previous seasons, finishing 14th once again. Panis continued with Toyota through 2004, his tenth year in Formula One. He announced his retirement in October of that year, effective after the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix. He stayed with Toyota as a test driver through 2005 and 2006, ending his F1 career at age 37, with five podiums and 76 career points from 157 starts.

SEBRING, Fla. (Feb. 5, 2026) – Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Pistons & Props Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network kicks-off the 2026 HSR racing season next weekend at Sebring International Raceway, Feb. 13-15. The must-attend event once again celebrates Sebring's rich sports car racing heritage and notable aviation history with four days of on-track action and an airplane "fly-in" of retro civilian and military aircraft from the World War II era and last half century. HSR Pistons & Props Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network honors the legendary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring sports car race, which runs for the 74th time March 21, and Sebring International Raceway's patriotic aviation history. Hendricks Field, on which Sebring International Raceway stands, was built as a United States Army Air Forces training base during World War II. One plane scheduled to appear is a Beechcraft T-34 Mentor owned and piloted by Bob Hahnemann, who could be the first HSR Pistons & Props participant to take part in both the winged and four-wheel activity. An accomplished pilot and sports car racing competitor, Hahnemann is listed as a co-driver with his son, Matt Hahnemann, in Friday afternoon's B.R.M Chronographes Legacy Enduro in their 2007 No. 111 Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car. Just after the race, Bob will taxi from the adjacent Sebring Regional Airport down the raceway's Ulmann Straight (backstretch) in the T-34, joining a quality lineup of other must-see airplanes and accomplished pilots in a parade to the paddock. Positioned inside the Sebring paddock, the planes will be on display and available for viewing from Friday at 4:30 p.m. through late morning on Sunday. The Beechcraft T-34 Mentor was a post-World War II trainer that was a learning workhorse for thousands of cadets for more than 25 years.  It was used in the Air Force until the 1960s and a go-to in the Navy well into the 1970s. The senior Hahnemann and his partner, Len Tucker, purchased the plane four years ago from legendary NASA astronaut and United States Air Force Colonel Frank Borman, Commander of Apollo 8.  Apollo 8 was the first mission to fly around the Moon. Also a test pilot – and former President of Eastern Airlines – Borman put his own high-performance enhancements on the T-34, installing a Continental IO-550, which was the largest engine you could put in a Mentor. The twin "SU" lettering as the plane's nickname – SU SU IX – also continued Borman's tradition of using the first letters of his wife Susan's name on his aircraft. On the HSR competition side, a highlight of the overall entry list is a nice turnout of entries in the HSR Sasco Vintage Cup for Groups 2 and 3. Home to small-bore racing machines that deliver big-time competition, Sasco Vintage Cup features many unique and eclectic race cars. One particularly rare entry is the Olthoff Racing 1960 No. 26 GSM Dart driven by Englishman John Spiers.  The GSM was built in South Africa by Glass Sport Motor company.  The company, which manufactured the Dart from 1959 until 1962, got its name – Glass Sport – given its use of fiberglass.  The lightweight production sports cars were generally used for racing. The No. 26 has been modified to feature a full flip-top front end and left-hand drive. Power comes from a Ford 1600 Kent engine – produced in Kent, England – with twin side-draft carburetors. Spiers will battle with a top trio of British-built Ginettas, including frequent HSR race winner and podium finishers Hervey Parke in his 1965 No. 11 Ginetta G4 prepared by Michael's Vintage Racing. Michael Oritt drives a similar 1961 No. 82 Ginetta G4 while Thomas Grudovich completes the quick Ginetta contingent in his 1966 No. 425 Ginetta G4. Another favorite small-bore British contender could be the comeback story of the weekend. Accomplished HSR driver Kenneth Greenberg was uninjured in a heavy Turn 1 accident in December's season-ending HSR event at Sebring, but his Air Power Racing 1964 No. 324 Morgan Plus 4 was nearly a total write off. Weston Farmer and the team at Air Power quickly went to work non-stop, and Greenberg and the Morgan are entered in the Vintage Cup sprints and B.R.M Legacy Enduro. Farmer reports many hours are still ahead before traveling to Sebring next week from the team shop in St. Augustine, Fla. after the Morgan's frame was destroyed and even the engine block was cracked in the incident. The team bought a similar 1967 Morgan chassis as a donor car, and the roll cage was completed last week. Oil lines, fuel lines and electrical systems are going in this week and a rebuilt engine recently arrived.
