In the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, sponsored by Skinceuticals, Edd Straw and Jon Noble take another dive into the mailbag as they answer your questions. Included in the selection this time are questions about whether Brazil proves that F1 needs reversed-grid sprint races, how good Red Bull needs to be for Verstappen to challenge for the title next year, whether we’re set for Hamilton-Leclerc chaos over the final three races, and many more.

Lando Norris and McLaren got back to winning ways with a dominant victory in an entertaining wet-dry-wet race in Brazil, as Max Verstappen charged from the back of the grid to finish second on the road. But might Verstappen’s stunning drive have been even better if he hadn’t been hampered by possible damage? That's the main topic of discussion in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, sponsored by Skinceuticals. Joining Edd Straw in Sao Paulo to answer those questions and more are Jon Noble and special guest Lito Cavalcanti.

The Race F1 Podcast, sponsored by Skinceuticals, brings you the Thursday edition of our In-Car Insights podcast - usually only available to The Race Members' Club.

Join Edd and Jon, on the streets of Sao Paulo no less, as they pick through the traffic AND the big talking points from media day at Interlagos. The guys start with the fallout at Ferrari after Mexico. With Charles Leclerc absent for the best of reasons and no sit-down with Fred Vasseur yet, Lewis Hamilton has doubled down rather than backed off. They also get into George Russell's plan to go through his season with his engineers and separate genuine bad luck from what could have been foreseen, and Aston Martin's admission that it knew even before last Sunday it wasn't going to finish the race. Plus there's the latest on Cadillac's suspension failure and why Valtteri Bottas might have been more susceptible to it than Sergio Perez, the uncertain futures facing Bottas and against all logic Liam Lawson, and Rafa Camara's first media day as a Haas race driver – complete with a genius answer to a question about his strengths and weaknesses.

Kimi Antonelli is world champion, ending a 73-year barren spell for Italian drivers - but why has Italy had to wait so long for more title success? That’s the topic of conversation in the latest episode of The Race F1 Rewind, which explores the reasons why Alberto Ascari’s world title in 1953 - Italy’s third championship in four years - proved the last one until Antonelli came along.

We explore why Ferrari became increasingly reluctant to run Italian drivers, the shifts in the motorsport cultural landscape that led to fewer Italian drivers getting opportunities, and where the Italian drivers that did break into F1 were lacking. Plus there’s chat about how Italy’s emergence as the centre of the karting universe had the perverse effect of limiting car racing opportunities for Italian drivers. And finally, Edd and Mark hit fast forward to discuss whether Antonelli’s success will herald a new era of success for a country with such deep motor racing roots.
