The Race F1 Podcast

On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, Edd Straw is joined by special guests Will Buxton (IndyCar commentator and host of Up to Speed & Speed with Harvick and Buxton) and Conor Daly to discuss the Malaysia fallout, champion-elect Kimi Antonelli, and America's F1 driver conundrum.

First up, Edd, Will and Conor take a wider look at the farcical Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia start scenes, and whether it proved that drivers are no longer properly in control of their cars. Next up, they look ahead to Singapore, and ask whether Red Bull and Max Verstappen can carry their brilliant form to Marina Bay and - as Kimi Antonelli edges closer to the championship - whether the Italian's remarkable season is getting the recognition it deserves.

And finally there's discussion on IndyCar star Colton Herta's Formula 2 campaign, which was supposed to provide a springboard to F1 with Cadillac, but hasn't gone quite to plan. Does the situation emphasise that getting an American driver into F1 has never been harder, despite Cadillac's presence?

On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss the Malaysia-hosted Bahrain Grand Prix.

It was a race that'll be remembered for Max Verstappen taking his and Red Bull’s first victory of 2026, but it was also one marred by chaos at the first attempt to start it. So what caused the farcical scenes that played out?

That's the key question tackled in part one of the podcast, before Edd, Jon and Scott explain Verstappen and Red Bull's supreme - and somewhat shock - pace this weekend, ask whether Ferrari's tyre blunder cost Lewis Hamilton a shot at victory, and unpack all of the race's other big talking points.

In the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, host Edd Straw sits down with Pierre Baqué, CEO and co-founder of artificial intelligence (AI) engineering design platform Neural Concept (a technology partner of Racing Bulls), to discuss how its ‘Engineering AI’ platform complements traditional CFD workflows in the F1 car design process.

Edd is also joined by former F1 technical director Gary Anderson to look ahead to the technical challenge of F1’s return to Sepang in Malaysia, plus Gary answers questions from listeners on Red Bull’s car degradation, tyre tracking, and ‘party modes’.
