Summary

It’s almost time for the first double-header of the 2024 F1 Season as the sport’s travelling circus makes the short trip over from Imola to the most famous street track of them all, the Monaco Grand Prix for Round 8 of the 2024 World Championship. Filip Cleeren joins Bryn Lucas on the Autosport Podcast to discuss some of the fallout from Imola’s race weekend, as well as previewing what’s to come at Monaco in a few days' time, and how it could be a three-way fight between Red Bull, Ferrari and a new one-off, green and yellow McLaren. Alex Albon also made the news during the weekend for signing a new long-term contract at Williams which could keep the Thai driver in Grove until the end of 2027. Is his signing proof of “The Vowles effect”, or a lack of top team interest? There’s also chat about the state of the F1 Calendar, as Thailand’s Prime Minster Srettha Thavisin was in attendance to push for a Grand Prix for 2027 or 2028. Could it mean more European rounds are sacrificed as the sport admits it's making a push for more racing in Asia? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:45.5	It's time for the first doubleheader of the 2024 F1 season as the sports travelling circus makes the short trip over from Imola to the most famous street track of the
0:50.9	Mall, the Monaco Grand Prix, for round eight of the World Championship. You know the
0:55.2	score by now. The narrowest of track's track position is king and full commitment needed to succeed.

1:05.0	Please welcome Philip Clearen. I like the formal intro and then I revert to Phil. So first of all, Phil, how are you doing?
1:11.9	I'm very good, Rhine. Thanks for having me. Yeah, I didn't go to Imola, so I'm really ready to
1:17.0	get stuck in this weekend and travel to Nice tomorrow. Well, there will be less overtaking
1:22.6	Monaco than there was at Imola, and that's saying something. Yeah, not by much. No, exactly.
1:30.8	Let's start some of the news topics that we've been going around. It's one of these back-to-back weekend, so therefore there's very little new news going around,
1:35.7	but there is enough for us to talk about.
1:38.0	Lost in all the business of the Imler race weekend was Alex Albon committing to Williams
1:42.9	with a new contract that's been
1:44.3	rumoured to keep him in Grove until 2027, a sign of the Vowles effect. What do you reckon?
1:51.8	Or is it just maybe that there's no other top tier interest around him? I think it's a bit of both.
1:58.1	There's no doubt that James Vals is turning things around slowly, but sadly out Williams.
