    Red Bull dump Perez - all you need to know

    Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and special guest Diego Mejia from Fox Sports Mexico and The Race en Español to discuss Red Bull confirming it is parting ways with Sergio Perez for 2025.

    They explain why it has taken so long for this announcement to be made, given it has been expected for some time, why the partnership hasn't worked out, and whether this spells the end of Perez's F1 career.

    They also discuss who is likely to replace Perez, why that announcement hasn't been made at the same time, and whether Red Bull will end up with the team-mate they need for Max Verstappen.

    And finally, Diego gives us the Mexican perspective on Perez splitting with Red Bull - including the impact the decision could have on the Mexican Grand Prix.

    What you need to know about Cadillac's F1 entry - including why the Andretti name was dropped

    Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm to discuss the news that Formula 1 has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors to add a GM/Cadillac team to the F1 grid in 2026. But curiously within F1's announcement, there was no mention of Andretti, the entity that started this team's bid to get onto the F1 grid.

    So, why have GM/Cadillac got the green light now, when the project was previously rejected? Where has the Andretti name gone? What engines will the new team use and which drivers might it sign? We shed light on all of those questions and more...

    Where Verstappen's title ranks and why Mercedes was so quick in Vegas

    Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson to discuss Max Verstappen clinching his fourth drivers' world title with fifth place in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. But where does this year's championship success rank alongside his other winning seasons?

    They also explain what led to Mercedes' stunning turn of speed this weekend, which saw it clinch an unexpected one-two with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. There's also chat about why Charles Leclerc was unhappy after the race, why McLaren was off the pace this weekend, and how Nico Hulkenberg won the midfield battle and Alpine lost it.

    Plus, as ever, the guys answer another load of questions sent in by The Race Members' Club.

    Previewing Las Vegas and the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship

    Compared to last year, the opening day of the Las Vegas Grand Prix event was relatively subdued, but despite the lack of razzmatazz there's still plenty to talk about on The Race F1 Podcast. 

    Ben Anderson joins Edd Straw after a long day in the paddock to give you a taste of what it's like to be in Las Vegas and what's changed since last year. 

    As this is Ben's first visit to Vegas, he offers a fresh perspective on the unique qualities of the event - and the challenges of the strange timetable - but inevitably the big talking point is the start of the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship. 

    We weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull and the factors that might impact their performance this weekend - including a technical directive issued since the last race in Brazil. 

    The response, or lack thereof, to the GPDA's statement on the FIA's crackdown on swearing and the way it has been pursued, is also a talking point.

    Brad Pitt's F1 movie - How it's been filmed and why it matters

    With F1 taking a breather before the final three races of the season, we thought we'd bring you something a little different for our latest episode: An update on the Brad Pitt-led movie F1, which is scheduled to hit cinemas next summer.

    Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Valentin Khorounzhiy explain how it has been filmed (particularly over real-life F1 weekends), why director Joseph Kosinski's back catalogue provides hope for spectacular action sequences, and how the teams, drivers and media have enjoyed having Hollywood in the paddock.

    They also discuss Lewis Hamilton's involvement, what to expect when it finally hits the screen, and why the release of the film will be such a significant moment for Formula 1.

    What's behind the F1 race director's sudden departure? Plus, big changes to launch season, Aston’s tech shake-up, Alpine’s new engine deal & more

    It's a news bonanza on the mid-week episode of The Race F1 Podcast as Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and special guest Christian Menath from German outlet Motorsport Magazin to unpack several big stories.

    The first is the shock news that Formula 1 will have a new race director from the Las Vegas Grand Prix as Niels Wittich has stepped down with immediate effect. We discuss what's behind his sudden departure, and Christian explains why there's more to it than the FIA's statement lets on.

    Next Dan Fallows' impending departure from his Technical Director role at Aston Martin is discussed, before talk turns to rumours that Sauber owners Audi are looking to sell a stake in the team. But who to, and why?

    And the episode is rounded out with talk about the big shake-up to F1 launch season, with a joint launch event set to take place at London's O2 Arena in February. Edd, Scott and Christian explain why this is happening before turning their attention to Alpine, following the confirmation that the Enstone team will use Mercedes power units (as taking gearboxes and rear suspension) from 2026.
