Beyond The Racing Line - Formula 1 Podcast

A chink in the armour of Mercedes and a charging Ferrari, points won and lost and the walkway title is not so much of a walk. An angry Max and an apology from the team, is this the final nail in the coffin? The Racing Bulls are red hot? Could they be the next team to break into the top tier? And Cadillacs reliability was finally on song this weekend, what pass mark are you giving them so far? All...

A return serve from George and the title fight isn't all doom and gloom. Welcome to Austria. The Ferrari love was very much lost this round as last weeks winner in Hamilton failed to fire a shot and Leclerc likewise. Still more to come from Ferrari but it's not convincing....yet. Redbull bolted on an almighty upgrade as power figured of Redbull met to discuss drivers, was a 2nd place enough to sel...

A resergence in red. Lewis, an 8th.....could it be? Mercedes have a chink in the armour, if the heat is on, the Merc engine is off. Is this the door slightly opening adjar for others? The RBs are quiety just going about their business, who has been the better driver if the season in your view, Lawson or Linblad? And a podium is returned, but have the FIA made the right call? All that and more of t...

5 from 6. Can anyone stop this kid? Lewis has snuck up on us all, a quality drive and now 2nd in the championship. Don't sleep on Lewis. Mclaren and in a world of pain, treading water and looking like not making an impact on 2026. How the mighty have fallen. And it was a penalty shootout, the speed limiter was questioned and boy did some pay a hefty toll. What is your take on the  issue? All that...

4 on the bounce as the Kimi train rolls, but its not all aboard as George seems to not have a ticket. Mclaren missed thier flight to Canada and turned up with all the wrong gear. It was a weekend of epic failures, line through it, on to the next. A silver war is brewing, elbows out for George and Kimi was chucking it wherever the car fit. Toto knows how to handle this, but do his chargers. And Fra...

A sensastion no more a contender at the door. Kimi takes yet another win and the F1 world is on notice. Max is back, a car that looks more under control and a haoly world champion, all the things we love. Mclaren is back, a double podium a happy Oscar and the reigning world champion is in form. And Aston finished a race again, but this time with 2 cars, thats it, thats the post. All that and more...

Three out of 3/3 the Mercs are on top, the kid Kimi is flying and there are dramas up and down the grid. Oscar started, and what a start it was, did the safetycar rob him or was P2 the reality? Have Alpine got it right? Gasly certainly has a handle on things, the new engine and a solid understanding of the car, danger watch for the mid pack. And Aston finished a race....thats it, thats the post. A...

Round one in the books, the sand bags are off Merc are out front and it was a silver arrows 1/2. A strong recovery from Kimi after a disaster in FP3. But credit where credit is due, it was a mature drive from the young Italian. Ferrari put up a fight and could match it with the Mercs. So maybe this could be the fight for the opening of the season. And Oscar.......yeah we will leave it at that. All...

And then there were 3, the first time in 15 years we have a title decider between 3.  A Mclaren masterclass in fumbling. A strategy disaster that has almost put the nail in the coffin for Piastri. On the flip side a Redbull master class in strategy. Max is alive. Its on, its so on. And what role will Mercedes play in the finale, and Tsunoda, can he pull a Perez and become the new minister of defen...

Fan Frenzy is the episode where the fan take control of the conversation. 

A new leader has emerged, and it's Norris by 1 pt. Oh boy what a finish we have. Lando was untouchable and has taken the title lead by 1 point, and who would have thought, with 4 to go we are this close. Bearman fell tantalisingly short of a podium in his drive of the year, a rookie flying under the radar and a future big fish of the sport.   And it was a close call for Marshall's and Lawson, a li...

Stay calm....it's happening. Max has arrived and yes it's now a 3 way fight. Oscar needs a win and needs one now, but where does it come? He is still in front which is the place to be but is time running out? The Rebull is flying, and we mean flying, 104 point deficit is now a mere 40....can he do it? And Ferrari looked the goods but is this just a flash in the pan ready for 2026. All the plus muc...

It's a team divided or so it seems at McLaren. Is it gloves off now the title is done and dusted for the constructors? It was a weekend to remember for George, a much deserved result for a man without a contract. Williams were on and then off as an incorrect DRS flap saw them disqualified from quali. Pushing the limits. And it was more pain for Alpine, a team in trouble and in free fall. What does...

Sharing is caring at team Papya, but is this the right way to go racing?  Fans are divided and heads are being scratched, are McLaren digging themselves a hole they cannot climb out?  Antonelli had the riot act read to him by Toto as the young gun is now all but treading water? Is it time to take a step down and learn his craft?  And it was an almost moment for Charles, the agro is out for us all...

Pop goes the engine, and so to the single figure points gap. The Aussie stretches his legs in the title fight. It was an uncharacteristic technical issues from the Papya team, will this be the absolute turning point in the fight?   Ferrari had a weekend to forget, hearts go out to the scarlette supporters, 9 rounds and 2025 is in the books. Another season to forget.   And after 15 rounds its Hadja...
