  • Enough….

    Things were decent when Scott was off, I enjoy his writing but the 2 minute circular monologues literally every tome he opens his mouth is just maddening. Can’t listen when he is on.

    Either fix it, or get him off.

    Otherwise the content is good, been listening since day one.

  • Great Episode 11 10 26

    I have been listening to The Race for years. I thought the episode reviewing the Singapore GP was really good. When Scott first started contributing on the podcast, I wasn’t a fan, but I missed his input during his recent sabbatical. I must say that whenever the podcast features Nelson Valkenburg, it’s a good one. And of course Edd is the OG!

    Do these people even read reviews? You gotta stop putting spoilers in the titles… Not everyone can watch every race live. Unfollow

  • Spoilers in Every Episode Title

    Love the analysis, but the episode titles constantly spoils race and session results. As an Australian many races are on at 1 or 2am, so I am often watching up to 20 hours later. Simply opening my podcast app can tell me the result before I have had a chance to watch. Please consider spoiler free titles, at least for the first 24 hours after a race

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: Is Russell F1’s most underwhelming pre-season favourite?

Mailbag: Is Russell F1’s most underwhelming pre-season favourite?
Q: Why discuss a MotoGP-style concession system in F1?

Mailbag: Is Russell F1’s most underwhelming pre-season favourite?
Q: What would Edd suggest for improving the sprint format?
Introduce one-shot qualifying to determine sprint grids, with points for the sprint winner and a strategic element such as a longer-term tyre strategy, plus exploring a reverse-grid concept to increase differentiation.
Tech Show: How F1 design teams are harnessing AI power
Q: How does the industry evolution of AI tools compare now to two years ago, and is there a point of leveling off?
Baqué notes rapid progress driven by foundational models and AI-native development, with ongoing improvements in 3D deep learning, generative geometry, and LLM integration, suggesting ongoing acceleration rather than a plateau.
Tech Show: How F1 design teams are harnessing AI power
Q: Is there something central to this in Formula 1 and Racing Bulls that hasn't been asked about yet?
