The possibility of VW Group coming into Formula 1 with Red Bull and the related plan to drop the MGU-H from the next-generation power unit is the main topic in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to discuss the political implications of the move and what loose ends need to be tied up to ensure the plans get the go-ahead.
There’s also a look at Aston Martin’s 2022 driver line-up, with Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll unsurprisingly confirmed as continuing last week, and in particular what what four-time world champion brings to the team.
McLaren’s progress towards its objective of re-emerging as a title-contending force is also appraised in the wake of it ending its win drought at Monza.
And with the Formula 1 title battle moving on to the Russian Grand Prix this weekend, we also look at who should have the edge between Mercedes and Red Bull – and what potential there is for a power unit change penalty for Max Verstappen.
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.
