Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 524 ratings
  • Brilliantly insightful

    Mark Hughes is incredibly knowledgeable about the sport and explains everything very well. The only problem is the presenter Bryn. His section regarding questions submitted by fans is condescending and he spends the rest of the time boasting about which races he has attended.

  • A1 pod !!!

    Fantastic podcast to the motorsport team! Excellent analysis, and Mark understands the prowess of getting into a corner shorter! One question, as a podcast listener, can you increase the sound on your pod, its about 25% quieter than other pods… why does that matter? Well if one is cycling, and you’re on my play next list, I might have to stop to increase the volume. Just a quality of life request.. content is perfect as is!

  • This guy is the dumbest smart guy I've had the displeasure of hearing speak. If you want to know what was going on and how racing worked 20 years ago, listen in. The only problem is he keeps trying to have an opinion about today

    As always you only expect and get the best from Mark.

    I’ve been following him for over 20 years now and his knowledge, impeccable writing skills and the ability to explain the intricacies of F1 are unsurpassed.

    Don’t miss him before he retires for good.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Bulldogs in the car' - How can Ferrari control Hamilton & Leclerc?
Q: Why are we not hearing so much about flexible bodywork this year? Is it not such a big performance gain with these cars?
Hughes says straight-line mode provides drag reduction within the regulations, while flexible bodywork is expensive to research and simulate and offers less lap-time benefit than other development options.
'Bulldogs in the car' - How can Ferrari control Hamilton & Leclerc?
Q: Is Fred Vasseur able to be tough enough? Is he the right character to be able to be tough enough to have two drivers of that level fighting it out?
Hughes says Vasseur may need to act more firmly, even if it goes against his natural style, and points to Mercedes' consequences after the 2016 Hamilton-Rosberg collision as a model.
'Devastating blow' - Why Kimi Antonelli is giving George Russell a nightmare
Q: Am I imagining it, or does following closely get progressively worse over the lifetime of each set of regulations?
Hughes says it does. As teams develop more intricate ways to direct airflow for performance, their designs increasingly conflict with regulations intended to improve the wake for following cars, and improved simulation tools make the trend happen faster.
'Devastating blow' - Why Kimi Antonelli is giving George Russell a nightmare
Q: What are your thoughts on the new regulations to stop cost cap cheating, and can the FIA enforce them without serious overreach and breaches of privacy?
Hughes says stricter controls are intended to prevent teams from using separate organizations to get around the cost cap. He argues that the cap helps keep the championship financially viable and describes measures including separate buildings for F1 and non-F1 personnel and recorded electronic access controls.
Antonelli: what marked him out as an F1 megastar
Q: Why is the Racing Bulls car easier to drive than the Red Bull, and is there an unwritten rule that it should be slower?
Hughes says there is no rule requiring Racing Bulls to be slower. Differences reflect the teams' technical approaches and resources, while Red Bull's more demanding car can offer greater performance that a driver such as Max Verstappen can exploit. Racing Bulls' more benign car suits its role of developing young drivers.
