Hungarian GP: Did McLaren stitch up Piastri strategically?
Edd Straw, Jon Noble and Josh Suttill convene in Budapest to unpack the Hungarian Grand Prix, which was won by McLaren's Lando Norris after he held off charging team-mate Oscar Piastri in the closing stages. But why did Norris end up on the winning one-stop strategy, and why did Charles Leclerc’s victory chances evaporate after leading the first stint? Those are among the questions answered in today's podcast, which also tackles the usual host of questions sent in by listeners in The Race Members' Club.Want exclusive bonus episodes and ad-free listening?

Bring Back V10s: McLaren’s 1994 nightmare with Peugeot
McLaren’s single season with Peugeot in F1 goes down as a year to forget in the team’s great history. But even though the short-lived alliance didn’t enjoy much success, there was plenty going on to make it worth the Bring Back V10s treatment.Glenn Freeman, Ben Anderson, and Edd Straw revisit how McLaren tried to adapt to life after Ayrton Senna, and how it nearly coaxed his great rival Alain Prost out or retirement to spearhead its new era. We also dive into Martin Brundle’s gamble to land the seat Prost rejected.We couldn’t possibly dig into every Peugeot engine failure from that season, but we do stop off along the way at the most famous ones, and look at the fallout behind the scenes after Brundle’s car burst into flames at the start of the British GP. We then get into how quickly the relationship fell apart, with McLaren finding a way out of its Peugeot deal to link up with Mercedes for 1995, to the benefit of Jordan.Want exclusive bonus episodes and ad-free listening?

Verstappen going nowhere - but what about 2027?
With Max Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing release clause now unable to be triggered, we discuss the implications on the driver market in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw in Budapest to ask if this means the Verstappen to Mercedes talk can be put to bed for now, or if the focus now shifts to 2027. We also discuss the impact on Mercedes, with George Russell’s continued stay at the team now seemingly assured and Kimi Antonelli having a difficult time in recent races. The Hungarian Grand Prix is also previewed before we tackle listener questions on topics ranging from Liam Lawson and Franco Colapinto to Lewis Hamilton and Pirelli tyres.

Belgian GP: How Piastri recaptured the initiative in McLaren title battle
Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw from a soggy Spa to unpick the Belgian Grand Prix, in which Oscar Piastri held on to take a delayed and tense victory. But should Lando Norris have made more of his inspired hard-tyre call, and might he have threatened for victory but for a couple of errors during the chase, or did his McLaren team-mate always have it under control? We answer those questions, as well as taking an in-depth look at all the other major talking points from the race weekend in Belgium.Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!
