• Would Cadillac be playing it safe with Bottas and Perez? Your questions answered

  We answer your questions in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, starting with Cadillac’s plan to sign both Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to sift through questions submitted by The Race Members’ Club, starting off with one about the driver line-up of F1’s newest team. We also discuss the expectations for Cadillac’s first season and whether Christian Horner could turn up there, before moving onto a wide range of topics starting with what the big news stories of the second half of the year might be. The chances of Carlos Sainz returning to Ferrari, Franco Colapinto’s future and whether F1 cars really have “baked-in characteristics” are then tackled. What Alpine needs to do to restore credibility, the decision to hold the first pre-season test of 2026 behind closed doors and the size of the rulebook are also among the discussion points we hit.

  Bring Back V10s goes 'Hybrid' for the second time in its history, heading back to the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix where Sebastian Vettel took his first win for Ferrari, and inflicted Mercedes' first proper defeat of the hybrid era by beating Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in a straight fight.Glenn Freeman is joined by Ben Anderson and Edd Straw, who were both at Sepang that weekend, to look back on why Ferrari had the upper hand on Mercedes in race trim, and if Mercedes' cautious approach to race strategy and fairness between its two drivers worked against it.We also reflect extensively on McLaren's miserable start to its second stint with Honda, and Fernando Alonso's mysterious pre-season testing crash which had ruled him out of the season-opener in Australia.Plus there's plenty of talk about Red Bull-Renault's 2015 troubles, with both parties claiming they were considering their futures in F1 off the back of such a tough ride in the early part of the hybrid era.Want bonus episodes and ad-free listening?
