Stay On Track with Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert

How F1 became hostage to its manufacturers - The Undercut with Damon Hill and Mark Hughes

On the latest episode of The Undercut, Damon Hill and Mark Hughes explore the complex relationship that F1 has with automotive manufacturers - a relationship that many would argue is to blame for the knot that the sport has put itself in with the 2026 regulations. With another big manufacturer - Chinese car giant BYD - exploring joining the grid, is it time for F1 to de-couple itself from the 'myth' that road relevancy was every really an important aspect of the sport? That's the question at the heart of this wide-ranging conversation...

The art of communicating with F1 drivers - A race engineer shares his secrets

On the latest episode of Stay On Track, Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert go deep on the most important relationship in F1 - the one between a driver and his race engineer. They're joined by special guest Pierre Hamelin, who listeners might recognise as Arvid Lindblad's race engineer at Racing Bulls. Pierre has developed a reputation as a man who nurtures rookie drivers, having previously engineered Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, Daniel Riccardo, Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar and others. But how does he go about helping a young driver get the best out of himself and the car? Pierre shares his secret tips and tricks, plus Johnny and Damon discuss the evolving F1 title race and why Canada is such an important grand prix for George Russell...

How F1 drivers have lost their power - The Undercut with Damon Hill and Mark Hughes

On the latest episode of The Undercut, 1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill and renowned F1 writer Mark Hughes discuss the topic of driver power. Many drivers on this year's grid have been notable critics of the 2026 regulations - including four-time champion Max Verstappen. So why didn't the drivers' initial skepticism over the regulations carry any weight and should they make a collective play for more power over future regulations? Those are two of the questions tackled in this wide-ranging chat.

Adrian Newey and the fine line between triumph and disaster - The Undercut with Damon Hill and Mark Hughes

In the latest episode of The Undercut, Damon Hill and Mark Hughes discuss legendary designer Adrian Newey, whose Aston Martin adventure has got off to a very shaky start. Newey is rightly regarded as one of the finest (if not the finest) technical minds to have ever graced Formula 1, but as Damon and Mark discuss, his boundary pushing designs and insistence on doing things his way mean he sometimes walks a tightrope between triumph and disaster. The question is, with almost unlimited control at Aston Martin, can he turn the Silverstone team into winners or has he bitten off more than he can chew? Want to listen ad-free?
