Is there any word better than ‘curiosity’ to describe Alpine? How on earth do you go about grading Ferrari? And what’s an outsider’s take on Red Bull’s season so far?  

 
In this pod swap episode of The Inside Track, Late Braking’s Ben Hocking joins Matt Majendie and the theme of the day is the 10 teams on this season’s grid. Matt and Ben pull out their red pen and grade each by their own personal criteria… Who is exceeding expectations? Who has let themselves down? And which team has the most entertaining in race radio? 

 

Special attention is paid to Red Bull, with Matt eager to get the perspective of an F1 fanatic who is a little more detached from the personalities involved. How does Ben rate Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda’s year so far, and what did he make of the surprise Christian Horner sacking? 

 

 

 

For the entire season Matt Majendie and Rick Edwards are embedded with Max Verstappen and the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team. Matt will be in the pits and in the garage, with the drivers and in the factory, at the debriefs and the strategy session. 

Over the midsummer break we are bringing you special interviews and insight to give you the F1 fix.
