Formula 1’s first sprint race will take place at Silverstone this weekend, with the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast delving into the potential impact of the new format.
Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to explain how the British Grand Prix weekend will work and how the format could impact the battle at the front.
There’s also a look at the controversial decision to credit the winner of the Saturday sprint with pole position for the record books, as well as how the success of the experiment will be evaluated.
With Red Bull and Max Verstappen on dominant form recently, we ask if Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton could hit back at Silverstone, and whether the world championship battle needs a Silver Arrows return to form to reignite it.
And with Esteban Ocon struggling in recent races, we ask if his difficulties are down to car troubles or Alpine team-mate Fernando Alonso hitting top form.
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.
