Why Albon re-signed for Williams + Ferrari's Imola upgrades
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw to discuss Alex Albon signing a new long-term deal with Williams. They explain why Albon has re-signed with the team, including why he didn't have many realistic options elsewhere, and what the deal means for Williams.
After that, Edd and the team look ahead to this weekend's Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, and specifically to the significant upgrade home favourites Ferrari are bringing to the race. They also discuss why Charles Leclerc has changed race engineers ahead of the event, and the significance of Ferrari's two new hires, who have moved across from rivals Mercedes.
And the episode is rounded out with some more questions from listeners, including ones on Andretti and on F1's tyre rules.

The latest on Newey's F1 future, plus Antonelli's possible Williams shot
After a weekend of trawling the paddock in Miami, Mark Hughes joins Edd Straw and Glenn Freeman to discuss the latest on Red Bull's soon-to-be-departing tech supremo, Adrian Newey. Included within that discussion are a host of questions from The Race Members' Club, including one on whether Newey could end up working for either F1 or the FIA if he doesn't join another team. There's also an update about how Newey's departure might impact Max Verstappen's future, with Mark bringing us rumours of possible mixed feelings in the Verstappen camp.
Plus, the Edd, Mark and Glenn discuss how likely it is that Mercedes protégé Kimi Antonelli will make an early F1 debut, stepping in for the underperforming Logan Sargeant at Williams. And in a nod to the past, they also answer a question about the controversial 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, which relates to today.

On this exclusive members' podcast, The Race's Sam Smith is joined by Le Mans winner and former F1 driver Allan McNish to discuss what made Ayrton Senna so special. McNish is in a better position than most to comment on the topic, having worked extremely closely with Senna during his three-year spell as McLaren's F1 test driver in the early 1990s. In this poignant conversation, recorded shortly before the 30th anniversary of Senna's tragic passing, McNish shares his observations of watching the great man at work, what he learned, and what left him in awe.

Allows me to survive my drives
I love listening to Edd et al while I deliver parcels. Great insight and analysis without the press release phoniness of most sport journalism. Love it!
Great
Love the show. They’ve got great knowledge and are professional. The one drawback is that the have a betting company as a sponsor which is really unethical for a sports show. This might drive me away.
Spoiled Miami race results in title
I find it shocking that these guys are F1 accredited journalists while the Missed Apex team are not and they’re producing much better content despite being enthusiasts working from home and generally not on site. Edd Straw’s intros are typically contradictory both sides type comments of no actual value. I wanted to try what I thought was a new F1 podcast and gave these guys a few episodes to impress me but no. Continuing on my previous comments, in today’s post-Suzuki pod, Scott Mitchell-Malm manages to get the facts wrong by his third sentence - sooner than usual. The red flag was thrown 1 second before Gasley saw the truck on track (or at least it was visible in the replay). Gasley was moving well slower than typical traffic through that section but was chasing the pack of cars following his safety car pit stop. I really don’t understand why these guys are considered professional journalists, they’re more than happy to opine without facts about other aspects of this very controversial race where Verstappen won the title. This isn’t journalism, this is punditry, which is possibly the worst insult I could throw. Again, the Missed Apex team is more professional, had more sourced facts about the various controversies, and generally provided more interesting technical roundup despite The Race having Gary Anderson, who, let’s face it, just mumbles and rambles when given the chance to answer questions, which generally he doesn’t actually answer. He should be off mic and his commentary filtered by two humans and then reported, instead.
