Qatar GP: Verstappen pounces as McLaren self-sabotage
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to discuss the Qatar Grand Prix and a weekend when the title race took yet another turn. The podcast begins with the obvious question: How did McLaren get it so badly wrong with strategy? The guys discuss that, plus whether McLaren's focus on fairness between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will cost it the drivers' title, given Max Verstappen moved within 12 points of Norris with his seventh victory of the season.Sainz's podium, Antonelli's late wobble, Ferrari's dire performance and much more are also discussed, plus there's the usual bumper batch of questions from The Race Members' Club to answer.Get information when you need it with Atlassian Rovo.

And Colossally That's History: The Triple Crown champion - Remembering Graham Hill
On the latest episode of And Colossally That’s History, Matt Bishop and Richard Williams raise a glass to Graham Hill, killed 50 years ago this week, along with five members of his team, in a light aircraft crash.Hill was just 46 years old at the time, and he left behind not only a wife and a young family but a sizeable void in the sport of motor racing. Matt and Richard describe how despite a late start - he didn’t get his driving license until the age of 24! - Hill was able to achieve incredible success at the highest level of racing.Not only was he able to win two world championship titles in one of F1’s most talent-heavy eras, he remains to this day the only driver to have completed motor racing's fabled 'Triple Crown' by winning the sport’s three most prestigious and historically significant races: The Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Matt and Richard describe how he completed each leg of that significant achievement (five times in the case of Monaco!), while also discussing the many attributes that made him so special both in and out of the cockpit. They also look at which drivers have come closest to emulating Hill’s Triple Crown and ask whether anyone might have a crack at it in the future.Get information when you need it with Atlassian Rovo.

Las Vegas GP: McLaren double DSQ blows title race wide open
Edd Straw and Jon Noble, on the ground in Las Vegas, are joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm to pick over a Grand Prix weekend in which the drama continued long after the chequered flag. The big talking point is, naturally enough, McLaren’s double disqualification that lost Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri their second and fourth-place finishes respectively. But why were they disqualified and could race winner Max Verstappen really end up snatching the title from under their noses? Those are two topics discussed, along with all of the other big talking points from the race. Mark Hughes also dials in to bring us his usual analysis of how the race was won, plus Edd, Jon and Scott tackle a big bunch of questions from listeners.Want bonus episodes and ad-free listening?
