Summary
McLaren’s tyre-management strengths have been a major talking point in F1 recently, with the FIA recently clearing its design following a detailed inspection after the Miami Grand Prix. The latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast delves into this.
Jon Noble and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss McLaren’s advantage and the reasons why certain rivals are pointing the finger behind the scenes.
We also discuss Carlos Sainz Sr’s emergence as a possible candidate to stand for FIA election and what he would need to do if he’s to be a serious challenger.
There’s also another batch of listener questions covering Yuki Tsunoda’s start with Red Bull Racing, Williams’s form, Aston Martin’s struggles and more.
