  Driver market moves, Cadillac's shock change & who Mercedes should fear - Our Dutch GP F1 predictions

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  F1's summer break is nearly over! The Race F1 Podcast looks at all the big storylines heading into the Dutch Grand Prix, including whether George Russell still has any hope of a title shot, and whether it's Ferrari or McLaren that Mercedes should fear most going into the second half of the season. Nelson Valkenburg and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to make their predictions on both form and the remaining 2027 driver market questions. Should we expect any bombshells? The big news of mid-summer was the shock sacking of Cadillac team boss Graeme Lowdon. We also delve into everything we've learned about the team's situation since the events of last week and look at the bigger picture questions about the power balance there.

  Driving Style Secrets: We answer your questions about five 21st century greats

  Aug 15, 20261h 2m

  As a bonus in the feed, we're bringing you our Driving Style Secrets Q&A episode. Driving Style Secrets is a podcast series available exclusively in The Race Members' Club on Patreon . In Season 3, which finished recently, Edd Straw and Mark Hughes took a deep dive into the driving techniques of five of F1's 21st century greats: Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg - and here they answer questions from the Race Members' Club about each of them! Edd and Mark start things off by discussing who, out of our five drivers covered, dealt with Lewis Hamilton the best. They then go on to discuss how Fernando Alonso's driving style saves tyres, how much of a driving style is deliberate versus instinctive, how each driver's technique evolved over time, why Raikkonen's career arc was linked to tyre philosophy changes, and what would have happened had Vettel gone up against Hamilton at Mercedes. There's also an explanation for why the fastest F1 drivers rarely exhibit flashy car control, and why Alonso is good but perhaps not great in wet conditions.

  Has F1 become anti-innovation?

  Aug 10, 202652 min

  To many, Formula 1 is about engineering genius, so why does the governing body, the FIA, so often outlaw bold new ideas after they appear? Has grand prix racing become anti-innovation, or is it essential for 'the show' to control technical development? On this episode of The Race F1 Podcast, which was inspired by a question sent in by someone in The Race Members' Club on Patreon , Edd Straw is joined by Samarth Kanal and Mark Hughes to debate whether F1 has got the innovation balance right or wrong, and to hypothesise on what would happen if the FIA relaxed the rules and allowed the teams to innovate as they wish, provided they stuck to the cost cap... Here's the full listener question from StevieNoises that inspired the episode: Why is F1’s strategy so anti-development? Ferrari’s exhaust wing is banned for 2027 and, to quote from The-Race.com ‘although the FIA was satisfied that the designs fully compiled with the regulations, it was mindful that if things were left untouched there was a risk of things getting more extreme and a potential tech war exploding.’ 'Tech war' is negatively loaded language that perfectly describes the sport! Car performance is based on the design of the car rather than the talent of the driver (for the most part), so a tech war is what Formula 1 is. Why is the strategy to counter development? Teams cannot just spend their way out of problems now. All of the teams saw the Ferrari rear wing in testing and took time to evaluate if it is worth bringing. 10 years ago, all of the top teams would have had one on the car for round 1. With the cost cap in place, there arguably should be more freedom in chasing designs. I understand that occasionally developments are banned because it can lead to one team being extremely dominant which you could make the argument with McLaren's system. But it's not like Ferrari have won a lot of races this year BECAUSE of the exhaust wing. This is not a development like DAS, or the double diffuser for example.
