    Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Mark Hughes to discuss the Singapore Grand Prix, in which George Russell surprised everyone, himself included, by taking victory.

    We ask what's next for Fernando Alonso and Christian Horner in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.


    Glenn Freeman and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to delve into recent news stories about the two men, who have been defining figures of 21st century F1.


    With Alonso making comments about 2026 being his last year if it's a success, but not if it's a struggle, we ask what that reveals about his mentality.


    And with Christian Horner's exit from Red Bull now finalised contractually, we look at where he might crop up in the future and if his return to F1 to run a team is inevitable.


    We also tackle another batch of listener questions on similarities between Max Verstappen in 1986, Carlos Sainz's Williams move and more.

  • What Verstappen's amazing Nurburgring GT victory says about him - and his future
    Sep 29 2025

    On this episode, we discuss how Max Verstappen has spent the gap between F1 races, and in particular the significance of his first GT3 race victory on the daunting Nurburgring Nordschleife (of all places).


    Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Matt Beer to explain why Max did it and the lengths he went to in order to compete, and what it means for his racing future in F1 and beyond.


    That includes the likelihood of him contesting the Nurburgring 24 Hours next year, and his long-term aspiration to race at - and win - the Le Mans 24 hours.


    There’s also a look a why he’s in a unique position to do this, and if some of his rivals could be inspired to do the same.

    Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Josh Suttill, both in Baku, to dissect all the big talking points from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including Oscar Piastri's troubled weekend - and Lando Norris's failure to capitalise on it.


    There's also discussion about whether Max Verstappen's superb form will bring the Red Bull driver back into the title picture, plus why Ferrari's Friday promise vanished so quickly.
