The 2021 Formula 1 season-opener was everything we could’ve hoped for, as the dream of a proper Max Verstappen vs Lewis Hamilton battle came true in the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes tackle every element of the Sakhir shootout in The Race F1 Podcast, from Mercedes and Red Bull’s tactical approaches, to where Red Bull-Honda has the performance edge, to that contentious finale.
They also consider the contributions of the teams’ ‘support’ drivers, amid some angst from Valtteri Bottas and a fraught but promising start to Red Bull life from Sergio Perez, as well as assessing every other driver’s performance through the field.
The Race F1 Podcast is released at least once a week and available free to subscribe to from all good podcast suppliers, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
