This week on The Inside Track, Rick Edwards and Matt Majendie tackle a wild week in F1 — Are Red Bull in crisis? Did Oscar Piastri just announce himself as the main title contender? And is Verstappen really thinking about jumping ship?
We break down all the Bahrain drama, reveal who nailed their podium predictions (spoiler: not the AI), share heartwarming team radio moments from Ollie Bearman and learn all about the country of Bahrain. Matt shares what he’s hearing from inside Red Bull, and we look ahead to Saudi Arabia — what to expect from the track, the teams, and the chaos to come.
For the entire season Matt is embedded with Max Verstappen, Christian Horner and the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team. He’ll be in the pits and in the garage, with the drivers and in the factory, at the debriefs and the strategy session. Each week, Matt will share insider stories and updates with Rick in the studio.
