Red Bull and Max Verstappen have won more races, but Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton lead the Formula 1 world championship standings at the summer break.
So in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast we attempt to unravel who really has the performance advantage.
Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to look at what we’ve learned from the unpredictable performance swings over the first 11 races of 2021, and ask which of the two title contenders has done the better job.
Aston Martin’s combination of request for review and appeal against Sebastian Vettel’s exclusion from second place in the Hungarian Grand Prix is also explained and the team’s chances of succeeding evaluated.
There’s also a look at Daniel Ricciardo’s struggles, including a bold prediction about what might happen if he doesn’t turn things around at the start of 2022, and the remain question marks in the F1 driver market.
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.
