Formula 1’s return to Australia this year, and Las Vegas next year, are discussed in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Mark Hughes and special guest Michael Lamonato join Edd Straw to explain why Las Vegas is considered to be such an important venue and the prospects for the race being more successful than when F1 last visited the city in the early 1980s.
How the changes to Albert Park might impact this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix and whether Ferrari or Red Bull is expected to have the advantage is also delved into.
McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo’s hopes of kickstarting his 2022 season with a first points finish at a circuit where he’s never been classified higher than fourth is looked at, as is how his struggles over the past year have been received in Australia.
We also look at the balance of power in F1’s super-competitive midfield with Haas, Alfa Romeo and Alpine all starting the season well.
And with Mercedes struggling so far this season, we also tackle its problems and its hopes of a turnaround.
