The impact of James Allison’s transition from Mercedes technical director to chief technical officer in July is the focus of the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
While the two titles are often used interchangeably, the move is significant with Mike Elliott taking over as technical director – meaning Allison can focus on the longer-term objectives of the team.
Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to delve into the effect this reshuffle will have, and ask how well Mercedes has handled this change.
There’s also a look at the revived Ferrari vs McLaren battle in F1, and we assess which of the two appears best-placed to get back to winning ways in the future.
Nico Hulkenberg’s Aston Martin reserve role and the upcoming Imola weekend are also on the agenda.
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.
