Help, Red Bull Needs Energy

In this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal try and solve Red Bull Racing's energy (engine) woes for 2016.

Lewis Hamilton > Ayrton Senna?

Is Lewis Hamilton greater than Ayrton Senna? Should he win in Singapore, he could be so, at least statistically say Mithila and Kunal in the latest episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast. This week too, the FIA joined us in delivering humour to our listeners - we still can't get over the record 168 grid penalties! And thankfully, they didn't deliver to the Tifosi a dream result of a Ferrari victory via a post-race disqualification for Lewis Hamilton. The duo discuss why Honda and Renault would be...

Lewis Hamilton has had a near flawless season or has he? In the latest episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal pick the one flaw that has dogged the reigning World Champion on the podium all season long.

Raikkonen Needs A New Challenge?

We love Kimi Raikkonen, we totally do! But it isn't he who got selected as the 'best driver' by the team bosses, it was Lewis Hamilton (unsurprising!). At GBP 100 million, that's some cost for a driver in this era of cost cutting. What is Mercedes really paying for though? And if FIA were to introduce 'driver telemetry' for the fans, we tell you how it could enhance a fan's viewing experience.

Inside Line F1 Podcast - Jumping Jack(man)

After a forced two week break, the Inside Line F1 Podcast returns to talk about the jumping jack-men, Hamilton vs. Vettel and Mclaren's absence from the 2015 Spanish Grand Prix.
