We look ahead to the Australian Grand Prix, and discuss home hero Oscar Piastri’s new McLaren deal, in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Samarth Kanal join Edd Straw in Melbourne on the eve of the season to look ahead to what should be a dramatic weekend.
We reflect on how Piastri’s deal impacts the driver-market landscape and what it says about McLaren approach to drivers.
The challenge of Albert Park and the question of how seriously we should take Max Verstappen’s downbeat predictions seriously.
We also answer another batch of listener questions from The Race Members' Club on Patreon (90% off your first free month here) which includes a look at whether Ferrari might favour Charles Leclerc over Lewis Hamilton, the chances of the 2025 champion not winning the most races and how strongly testing pace correlates with final championship position.
