What’s next for Daniel Ricciardo if he doesn’t unseat Sergio Perez at Red Bull for the 2024 Formula 1 season? And does Ferrari have any hope of reviving its title-challenging credentials next year or will it have to look longer-term?
Those are among the many questions submitted by you and answered by our F1 experts Edd Straw, Mark Hughes, Ben Anderson and Scott Mitchell-Malm on the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
As well as topical requests – such as the latest on the new teams process, how impressive McLaren’s big gains are compared to other historical leaps, and what’s stopping Mercedes and Ferrari making similar progress – there’s plenty of forward-looking questions, including whether Aston Martin might pick Yuki Tsunoda when it teams up with Honda for 2026, what the end goal is for Haas, and what Alex Albon’s chances of landing another ‘top’ seat are.
And the ball is placed firmly in the panel’s court when it comes to Alpine, with Straw tackling the hypothetical task of abandoning the 100-race plan and finding an alternative way of turning the team into a consistent F1 race winner.
There’s also a look at how comparable Charles Leclerc’s spell at Ferrari is with Jean Alesi’s and whether there are any traits the two share, and one fascinating question about driver mentality and focus in the cockpit.
