Of course, we HAD to call this episode as the 'Outside Line F1 Podcast', given the overtaking line of choice for several drivers in the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix. And of course, we received a 5-second time penalty from the FIA for our transgressions as well! C'mon along and join the fun in this race review episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast with Soumil and Kunal. And also, the F1 App was hacked - was it someone called Bernie?

Should we pin our hopes on Pirelli's C5 tyre? A compound that's never been raced before at the Red Bull Ring? And of course, do your rain dance before you tune in - because if nothing else, the weather might just make the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix an entertaining one. Remember the low expectations before the 2021 French Grand Prix? It might just make sense to follow the same strategy this weekend, too.

"The hills are alive to the sounds of the 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid engines," said Soumil in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast as he looks forward to the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix along with Kunal. Is Red Bull Ring the most-picturesque circuit on the Formula 1 calendar? Kunal calls it the 'Wimbledon of Formula 1'!

OMG! Almost no one saw that coming. The French Grand Prix actually entertained Formula 1 fans! As Kunal said, "The 2021 French Grand Prix has raised bar and how for all the French Grands Prix to follow in the next century." But WHAT IF Max Verstappen had not made the opening lap error at Turn 1 and kept the lead, would the 2021 French Grand Prix have been less entertaining? In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil joins Kunal to review the epic race at Circuit Paul Ricard. A race th...

The French Grand Prix is the ONE race that almost every fan fears. Okay, maybe Abu Dhabi as well. For all the history associated with France and Grand Prix racing, the Circuit Paul Ricard almost always fails to deliver a worthy race.

The question on everyone's minds - will the 2021 Formula 1 season be less than 23 races? It's supposed to be the longest season in the history of the sport, but will we actually have those many races? For starters, Singapore has been cancelled and several other venues may be forced to do so due to the ongoing pandemic. In which case, what would be the impact of a shortened season on Formula 1 and its stakeholders? (The episode description follows after the promotional messages) For our global au...

The 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix delivered on all of its pre-race hype and promise. For starters, the 'no repeat winner' stat remained intact after Sergio Perez scored his first race win for Red Bull Racing. Max Verstappen's retirement meant that Perez still has a better record of points and podiums in Baku! A Safety Car has made an appearance at every single race in Baku till date.

We REALLY hope that the 'no repeat winner' stat stands true for the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. If so, we will have a new race winner this Sunday! Could Max Verstappen make the most of Mercedes' misery? If he does win this Sunday, it will be Verstappen's first back-to-back in Formula 1.

After most races at Monaco, the typical question is - should we continue to race on the streets of Monte Carlo? The 2021 Monaco Grand Prix has brought this question back into focus. However, it's time we don't blame the track. In fact, if there's one blame we can lay on the organisers, it would be their shoddy TV direction throughout the 78-lap race. Of course, even a world-class TV director wouldn't have managed to save us from the boredom the race inflicted, but there were several positive nar...

No, we're not delusional. We believe that Ferrari could win this weekend's 2021 Monaco Grand Prix. If they get pole, and mind you, they look quick, they could dictate the overall race pace and go for the win. For those naysayers, Mercedes did exactly that with Nico Rosberg in 2013. The lack of overtaking opportunities makes track position even more vital in Monaco. But of course, the key point here is 'if they get pole'.

The 2021 Formula 1 season has had a brilliant start. The Max Verstappen-Lewis Hamilton battle seems set to last the full course of the season (no, we're not jinxing it!).

The 'low rake vs. high rake' chatter seems like a thing of the past. Mercedes seem to have found their way around the rule changes for 2021 and regained the 'title favourites' tag from Red Bull Racing. And of course, Lewis Hamilton delivering superlative performances race after race. After claiming his 100th pole position in Spain, Hamilton went on to claim his 98th win in Formula 1. His win was a lethal mix of race strategy + overtaking. Yes, it was Hungary 2019 all over again! (The episode des...

The 2021 Formula 1 season got off to a blockbuster start with the opening round in Bahrain. It delivered to the pre-season hype - a Red Bull-Verstappen vs. Mercedes-Hamilton battle. Yes, Hamilton won - but had to fight for it every inch of the way. From what we saw, we expect this to be the rivalry that will headline through the season. However, the post-race focus shifted from the battle of the two generations to the FIA's inconsistent policing of track limits at Turn 4 - the very spot where Ve...
