Antonelli's big break and Williams's drastic action

Two huge F1 debuts are coming up at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend - with Mercedes protege Kimi Antonelli getting his hands on the team's 2024 car and Franco Colapinto making his race debut following a huge shake-up at Williams. The Race F1 Podcast turns first to Antonelli, with Edd Straw joined by Ben Anderson and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss how significant an outing this could be for a driver who seems destined for a 2025 Mercedes F1 graduation - and the potential headache Mercedes has on its hands for 2026 if Toto Wolff picks his interest in signing Max Verstappen back up again next year. But it's Williams that has made a huge decision between the Dutch and Italian GPs as it finally lost patience with Logan Sargeant - axing him from its line-up and giving its academy driver Colapinto a shot alongside Alex Albon for the final nine races of the season. That wildcard choice and how impressive Colapinto was on his F1 weekend debut in FP1 at Silverstone earlier this year, the timing of the decision and what that says about how much Williams wanted things to work out with Sargeant, and how his situation ultimately became untenable are all covered. Ferrari's prospects heading to its home race at Monza, McLaren's constructors' championship favourite status, and whether racing will be better in 2026 despite predicted slower laptimes are among a bonus set of questions from The Race Members' Club that are tackled too. ---Want extra podcast content?

Dutch GP: McLaren exploits Red Bull's weakness

Lando Norris could hardly have made a bigger statement of intent as F1 returned from its summer break, as the McLaren driver clinched his second grand prix win at the Dutch GP - and in doing so ended Max Verstappen's winning streak on home soil in crushing fashion. But why was Norris so dominant at Zandvoort? Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm on The Race F1 Podcast to answer that question and plenty more as the constructors' championship battle between Red Bull and McLaren got tighter still. As well as looking at how Charles Leclerc earned Ferrari an unexpected podium, Sergio Perez's form and Alpine's 'victory' in the midfield battle, there's a host of questions from The Race Members' Club on topics including the quality of Norris's drive, whether Red Bull's tyre management has got worse as the year has gone on, and Logan Sargeant's precarious position at Williams. ---Want extra podcast content?

The best team that never raced in F1?

We’ve got something a little bit different for you on this episode. Earlier this year, to mark the 40th anniversary of Prodrive, Edd Straw paid a visit to its Banbury HQ to interview its co-founder and chairman David Richards.  Many F1 fans will remember Richards through his time with the Benetton and BAR F1 teams, and may know that he’s currently chairman of Motorsport UK. But he also came very close to bringing Prodrive - so successful in rallying, touring cars and sportscars - into F1 on two occasions. In fact, you could argue that Prodrive is the best team to never race in F1… We hope you enjoy Edd’s wide-ranging chat with David Richards, who has many a tale to tell about F1 in the 2000s and 2010s.  ---Want extra podcast content?

F1 may now be on its summer break, but its been a busy week of news, which Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm digest on this episode. First up, Scott brings us some fresh reporting on why Red Bull has chosen to stick with Sergio Perez (for now), and how it plans to help him find form again. After that, there's a look at what the Perez situation means for Red Bull's wider driver situation, before talk turns to the news that Red Bull team manager Jonathan Wheatley has been recruited to be Audi's new team principal. Why has Audi plumped for him, and what impact will his departure have on Red Bull? Edd and Scott answer those questions before turning their attention to Alpine, who have now installed Oliver Oakes as team principal and are set to announce Jack Doohan as Pierre Gasly's team mate for 2025. ---Want extra podcast content?

Back in February, when Lewis Hamilton's shock 2025 move to Ferrari was announced, you could argue it made a lot of sense - his Mercedes team were in poor form and Ferrari looked to be on the up.

Bearman signs for Haas + Should we expect more Norris-Verstappen fireworks?

On the eve of the British Grand Prix, Scott Mitchell-Malm joins Edd Straw to discuss Haas announcing the signing of British rookie Ollie Bearman. They explain why the team have decided to put their faith in the Ferrari protege, and who might partner him in 2025. After that, they turn their attention to what is sure to be the weekend's big talking point: Whether we can expect more fireworks from Lando Norris and Max Verstappen at Silverstone, after their controversial run-in in Austria. Does Norris need to change his approach to racing Verstappen? Will Verstappen be under more scrutiny from the stewards? Edd and Scott dig into these questions and more. And finally, Edd and Scott assess the news that former Mercedes powertrains boss Andy Cowell is joining Aston Martin as CEO, replacing Martin Whitmarsh. ---Want extra podcast content?

Why has one of F1's most controversial figures returned to Alpine?

In the run-up to the Spanish Grand Prix, Alpine confirmed it had hired former Benetton and Renault Formula 1 team boss Flavio Briatore as an executive advisor. Briatore ran the Enstone team for two spells under different guises, leading them to several titles along the way, but he exited amid scandal following the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix race-fixing incident. So why is he back now? And what does it mean for Alpine in the long- and short-term? Answering those questions are Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and 'Team Enstone' specialist Damien Smith, author of the recent book 'Benetton: Rebels of Formula 1'. ---Want extra podcast content?
