Summary
We go behind the scenes with Red Bull Racing in the latest episode of The Race F1 podcast.
Special guest Matt Majendie is embedded with the team this year for The Inside Track podcast and was at Monaco with the team. He joins Ben Anderson and Edd Straw to tell us all about it.
He explains the strategic attempts for Max Verstappen to gain a place, tells us about Yuki Tsunoda’s mindset and reveals how the team dealt with a difficult weekend.
And with the flexi-wing technical directive kicking in in Spain this weekend, there’s also some hints about what Red Bull really expects from the change.
We also tackle listener questions on McLaren’s position, Isack Hadjar’s promotion chances and refuelling.
