The Race F1 Podcast

Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and special guest Diego Mejia from Fox Sports Mexico and The Race en Español to discuss Red Bull confirming it is parting ways with Sergio Perez for 2025. They explain why it has taken so long for this announcement to be made, given it has been expected for some time, why the partnership hasn't worked out, and whether this spells the end of Perez's F1 career. They also discuss who is likely to replace Perez, why that announcement hasn't been made at the same time, and whether Red Bull will end up with the team-mate they need for Max Verstappen. And finally, Diego gives us the Mexican perspective on Perez splitting with Red Bull - including the impact the decision could have on the Mexican Grand Prix.

It's time for our regular end of season episode, as Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to countdown The Race's Top 10 F1 drivers of 2024. As ever, we created our list by asking each of our guests to rank all of the drivers on the grid, with their scores then combined to produce a top 10. But which drivers made it in and who missed out? Are there any big surprises or will the top 10 mirror the drivers' championship standings? Listen in to find out and then let us know on social media what you think!
