Beyond The Racing Line - Formula 1 Podcast

Welcome back, well of sorts, we had a month off and we have returned with a belter of a weekend as we said yeeehaw to Austin Texas. The healing process for Ricciardo fans has passed and Lawson has put to bed an doubts for now, a last to 9th drive silenced any haters for the time being. Max took the bull by the horns and drove a solid weekend. Was that a side ways look to Mclaren and Lando that said, hey, you won't catch me? And Ferrari secure a 1/2. Don't sleep on the boys in red. If this season has taught us anything it's that anything can happen. All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

Norris swings the tide in Singapore but with the deficit to Max only 1 point less than it was in Miami, is he running out of time? Six to go, we have been hearing for weeks that the title fight us on, but, for how much longer. A mega save from Verstappen salvaged P2 and for the remaining rounds thats all he needs. Is there time for Norris to get the job done? Time to watch your language. A community service slap for Verstappen had everyone scratching their heads, but what part does the broadcasting play? Too harsh or is it time to mop up the expletives? And a farewell or just goodbye for now. RB pulled no punches behind the scenes as Ricciardo left Singapore in tears, has the Honey Badger become collateral damage in a political power struggle, or is time really up?

Two #1s are better than none. Team Mclaren are flying and we suddenly have a possible four way title fight. Oscar is no mug, after a barrage of Brit beat downs last week, the Aussie shon in the Azerbaijan sun, hard to believe he has been at it for just on 18 months. The top scorer over the past 8 rounds, finished 100% of his races, make no mistake it's not a matter of if, but when.  Checo has awoken, or so it seemed, the street fighter excelled in Baku all weekend, but a late clash with Sainz had many asking who is at fault? And is this Bottas swan song, rumour has it Colapinto is hot on Audi's radar....watch this space. All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

The prince of Monaco becomes the King of Monza, a one stop for the ages, how can you not love a Ferrari win at home. Leclerc drove for the masses, a one stop roll of the dice that crowned him the king on Monza once again, a giant upgrade package and maybe, just maybe another twist in the tail of 2024. Williams, did good. Well kind of, points for Albon and Colapinto didn't disappoint, but let's just sit tight, you just don't know what Vowels might do next. And Papaya Rules were all the rage, people have dropped some "love" for Oscar, but hey we asked for racing so we got it, just be careful what you wish for fans.

SUMMER BREAK IS OVER....and sudden changing of the guard, a 22sec demolition for Lando and it is well and truly game on. Williams have pulled the pin on Sargeant, after a monster shunt, was this the right or wrong call so late in the season? The eb and flow at the front continued, as Ferrari pranced and Mercedes faltered, howereve with this the new trend in the season, it's now something we should be expecting, so who's game is it now in Monza?  And illegal parts at Rebull, rumours of a asymmetric breaking system as pricked ears around the paddock, hmmmmm watch this space.  All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

DISQUALIFIED. Not the words Russell wanted to hear. But 1.5kg short....does someone have questions to answer? Sainz signs on with Williams, after months in waiting, what do you make of the decision? It was a dirty day for Norris, Oscar backed it up with a brilliant showing, who's driving better right now and is there a possible headache on the horizon for Mclaren. And more pain for Alpine as Famine is shown the door. Is this a sustainable team any more? All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Ah the boy did good, it's been cooking but finally the oven has pinged and Piastri comes home P1. Radio ga ga was the talk of the day, and it exposed another chink in the McLaren armour. How much, if any damage has been done by the weekends events? Perez in the wall, a Q1 exit and a Ricciardo P1, pit your money on the line, is he in, or is he out? And it was a fired up Fernando after an FIA blunder in quali, stranded in the Apex GP bays, oh boy, what could have been.

The race of the season. Make no mistake, if Lewis isn't the greatest of all time, he is now. What have Haas been cooking? The 5th fastest car on the grid now, Hulk doing incredible things, Audi would be licking their lips securing his services, how much longer can they sustain it though? Is Checo checking out? With only 12pts in the past 5 rounds and heat on the much-maligned resigning, it's has to be a podium or bust next time out. And McLaren, 4 wins left on the table and a spattering of Ferrari like errors, they must cash in before the sun sets on their red hot form.

A dynamite quali, Norris on pole, a lead stolen by Russell but yet again, Verstappen takes the win. It's a four way fight as we turn for Austria. With the Redbull no longer a dominating force, there is much to look forward to. Who will be our next race winner? A turn of fortune for Alpine after a huge week off track and the return of Flav, but Aston have been once again left reeling with a negative upgrade, who will come out on top in this fight?  And ticket prices were the talk of the town as Silverstone pointed the finger at Redbull for lack of sales, is the GP experience slowly becoming out of reach for the fans?

The race of the season thus far, 5 in contention, a nee pole sitter for the year, rain, action a plenty and yet it was the cool head of Verstappen who did it again. From hero to 0 as Ferrari not only dropped the ball, but tore it up, set it on fire and threw it into the deepest of ocean waters. An opportunity to put more pressure on the Bulls goes begging. Big calls have been made at Alpine, Famine threatened and boy did he deliver. A parting of ways with Ocon might just open the door for Doohan. And is there a seat for Sainz? With Redbull and Mercedes all but out, Williams have thrown the arms wide open, but is this the right call? A lifelong commitment to Audi beacons but could a season in the grandstand also be an option? All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.
