After going fastest in Qualifying on Friday, Max Verstappen won the F1 Sprint on Saturday. He followed that up with a dominant display in the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday - a race that he won comfortably from 6th place. Yet another race winning trophy was broken, but only after Verstappen equalled a record held by Fernando Alonso; that of winning a race from maximum different grid starting positions (9).  In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah review the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix - with stats inputs from @f1statsguru. We discuss the relationship between Gianpiero Lambiase and Max Verstappen - and their entertainment over the radio at Spa. Does GP speak as though he's Verstappen's biggest rival whilst being his most-able wingman and ally? McLaren's loss of pace, Ferrari's podium with Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz's opening lap error, Oscar Piastri's podium in the F1 Sprint followed by a start incident at La Source and more. Also, Alexander Albon's overtaking moves, Yuki Tsunoda's point for 10th place and in general, the joy of racing around the magnificent Spa Francorchamps. Btw, did Nico Rosberg half-jinx McLaren at Spa?  Tune in! (Season 2023, Episode 39) Follow our hosts on Twitter: Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah Image courtesy: Red Bull Content Pool

Did you expect something else at Spa? 2023 Belgian GP Review

Should Eau Rouge be changed? Safety will be a key discussion each time we visit the iconic Spa Francorchamps...and till such time the circuit does make changes to one of the best Formula 1 corners on the calendar. But really, does Eau Rouge need a change?  We're hosting live race screenings for Formula 1 fans in Mumbai for the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix. Where: Malad and Dadar SOCIAL When: 30th July, 5.30 pm onward (IST) Soumil Arora, Kunal Shah, Sundaram Ramaswami and Siddharth Shah will host a pre/post race interaction &amp; F1 quiz for all attendees. In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil, @f1statsguru and Kunal preview the upcoming 2023 Belgian Grand Prix. Will Max Verstappen-Red Bull Racing continue their winning ways? Will Sergio Perez 'ace' both qualifying sessions? But what about P2? The battle for P2 has gotten ever-interesting. As Aston Martin has dropped off, Mclaren have risen through the ranks. We believe that track position is often the key deciding factor in which team-driver finishes just after the Red Bull(s).  And of course, it's the Sprint format this weekend. This means that all three days of the Grand Prix weekend will have on-track action that matters. And of course, which team will get their setup choices wrong in the lone FP1 this weekend? Tune in!

Records & Trophies broken - 2023 Hungarian GP Review

All eyes on Daniel Ricciardo this weekend. After all, he's making a comeback to Formula 1 at the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix. Admittedly, it's an AlphaTauri, so will Ricciardo exit in Q1...and still out-qualify Yuki Tsunoda? A bittersweet moment that would be.  We're hosting a live race screening for Formula 1 fans in Mumbai for the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Their upgrades have brought them into play for P2 - and they've got another upgrade planned for Hungary.  As for Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing, they will continue to break records. But the one record Sergio Perez needs to break is that of not featuring in Q3 for five consecutive races. Yes, in the same car that his team-mate has scored pole positions in.

Hungary for more of Daniel Ricciardo - 2023 Hungarian GP Preview

Lando Norris, what a drive, what a race! The first four and the last eight laps of the race were absolute platinum class. How on earth did Lando Norris in a Mclaren on the hard tyre keep a charging Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes on the soft tyre at bay? Also, could Norris have challenged Max Verstappen at the restart had he taken the soft tyre? Post-race, Norris was still convinced that soft was the tyre to be on and not the hard! How on earth did Alexander Albon manage to out-score the Ferraris? Williams' 800th Grand Prix couldn't have hoped for a better result. And of course, how on earth did Ferrari lose ground? The Italian team were so lost on strategy that Carlos Sainz even forgot what Plan B stood for! Mercedes consolidated their second place in the Constructors' Championship with yet another podium but without a funny radio exchange between Hamilton and their pit wall. And finally, Aston Martin have gone two races without scoring a podium - their longest non-podium streak of the season. Tune in!

Happy Lando Norris Day! 2023 British Grand Prix Review

Even if Max Verstappen-Red Bull Racing dominate yet another race this season, the 2023 British Grand Prix will be remembered for when a movie was shot during a real Grand Prix weekend. Yes, Brad Pitt's Formula 1 movie will be shot in between all the official racing sessions at Silverstone. But you probably already know this...! We love when other forms of entertainment embrace Formula 1 to narrate a story or two. Lewis Hamilton's involvement in Brad Pitt's under-production movie (rumoured to be called Apex) could make this the most-realistic Formula 1 movie ever?

Apart from the 11th team on the grid, modified liveries and helmet designs, modified cars via upgrades will be the key talking points this weekend. This race is the home race for at least 8 teams on the grid (Haas and AlphaTauri have remote operations in the UK, too), so we expect everyone to pile on as many upgrades to their cars as possible. And of course, a 'normal' Grand Prix weekend format means that teams will have three Free Practice sessions to test their upgrades, too. Will Fernando Alonso-Aston Martin return to their podium-scoring ways? Can Ferrari continue to marginally outscore Mercedes and Aston Martin for 2nd place in the Constructors' Championship? Can Sergio Perez get it right in Qualifying? Can Lewis Hamilton and Nico Hulkenberg continue their scoring ways at Silverstone?

Brad enters the Pitt-lane - 2023 British GP Preview

With over 1,200 track limit violations in the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix, we wonder if the drivers ganged up against the FIA to prove a point.

And are you some of the few even more surprised that Alpine didn't further protest Esteban Ocon's post-race time penalties? After all, Ocon was one of two drivers (the other being George Russell) who was given no in-race notification of violation. Just FIA things, we know. Also, Ferrari got their race strategy right two races in a row - but Carlos Sainz (and maybe Charles Leclerc) knows that the podium was his. Sergio Perez had two Qualifying sessions and he decided to mess up at least one. Lando Norris proved that Austria is his happy hunting ground. Toto Wolff's pleading Lewis Hamilton to drive the Mercedes, Carlos Sainz being 'intimidated' by Sergio Perez, Norris-Hamilton playing sensors and a lot more in our review episode of the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix.

Did Drivers gang up against the FIA? 2023 Austrian GP Review

It's time for F1 Sprint and the Grand Prix at the Red Bull Racing this weekend. Yes, the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix will have 2 x Qualifying sessions and 2 x Races (okay, 1 and one-third, to be precise). But will that lead to double fun or double dominance?

Can anyone catch him? The last time we had a Sprint + Grand Prix weekend, Charles Leclerc took pole (Baku, 2023). And the time before last (Brazil, 2022), George Russell won for Mercedes. We expect everyone to use and abuse this stat through the weekend. In the mid-field, several teams will bring upgrades. But they will have lesser time to test them - just one Free Practice remember. Also, will the FIA bring about a rule change for using a 'new soft' in SQ3 on Saturday? Also, it's Red Bull's home race - expect them to host some of the most-entertaining off-track activities. In fact, a jet pack operator will be present along with a legends parade. Will Sergio Perez bounce back? Will Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton continue to battle for P2? And what about Ferrari...?

Lando Norris, the least likely driver to be unsportsmanlike was given a time penalty for being exactly that, unsportsmanlike. And for what? Driving slowly in the pits to hold up his rivals while Mclaren double-stacked their cars! Didn't we applaud drivers for their spatial awareness when they did this for years on end?

6: DAS: Mercedes Calling Hamilton's Tyre Bluff?

Ferrari-Lewis Hamilton-Toto Wolff-Mercedes - we wonder how the love quadrangle will eventually settle. At the moment, it is brilliant positive PR for Formula 1 and Ferrari - but more than Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari needs the managerial skills of Toto Wolff. Like Hamilton, Wolff too is out of contract after 2020. As for Ferrari, maybe they need an outsider to lead them back to their days of glory? We question Ferrari's 'Team Principal' theory from the last many seasons.Also, the FIA finally admit that 'track design' is crucial to good Formula 1 races. Zandvoort is taking it upon themselves to try deliver a blockbuster race. Can the other tracks follow suit? Lawrence Stroll is serious about his investments in Motorsport. If he purchases Aston Martin, we discuss the brightened career prospects for Lance Stroll. Will Racing Point be Aston Martin's works team? Stroll junior partnering Max Verstappen in 2021 at Red Bull Racing may be a bit out of stretch, or is it?

Ferrari - Fast and Furious (Leclerc's fast, everyone's furious with Sebastian Vettel for his repeated errors)3. Red Bull Racing - Musical Chairs or Red Bull-y Racing or Red Bull Roasting (aren't all episode names self-explanatory?)4.

By the way, what's common among most former Formula 1 drivers? Answer: repeated outbursts against Formula 1! In this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we discuss Nicholas Latifi finally being awarded a race driver contract. Not interested in Latifi-Williams? We hope for a surprise appearance by Kimi Raikkonen at the 2019 FIA Prize Giving, how Pirelli are victims in Formula 1 and bet that George Russell will be THE driver to take over from the Lewis Hamilton era in Formula 1. Also, did you know that Renault and Sauber are the only two teams to have not scored a podium in the hybrid-turbo era of Formula 1? There's more, tune in! (Season 2019, Episode 46) Here's what's in store for you in this episode: 0:00-3:00: We discuss Williams' very specifically worded press release announcing Nicholas Latifi's promotion to a race driver in 2020 + Lewis Sebastian Vettel? Our commiserations to Valtteri Bottas 3:00-6:00: Can we have Kimi Raikkonen attend the 2019 FIA Prize Giving anyway? 6:00-9:00: Are Pirelli the victims of an ever-changing brief from Formula 1? The jokes around the Formula 1 tyre graphics on television 9:00-12:00: The Inside Line F1 Podcast Awards - have nominations? Send them to us via our Facebook page. 12:00-15:00: A Honda-powered car beat both the Ferraris in 2019 - would anyone have ever imagined this? Ecclestone: LEC would beat HAM at Ferrari, really? 15:00-18:00: George Russell will be THE driver to take over from the Lewis Hamilton era in Formula 1, that's our prediction. But, is there a better crusader for the world and for Formula 1 than Lewis Hamilton? 18:00-21:00: What's common among most former Formula 1 drivers? Answer: an outburst against Formula 1. This time, it's Stoffel Vandoorne's turn to hit a few punches. Renault &amp; Sauber the only mid-field teams to not score a podium in the hybrid-turbo era 21:00-24:00: Will Formula 1 never go all-electric, ever? Or 'never say never'...? Formula 1's making anti-all-electric statements. Yes, they are to counter Formula E! Robots to conduct pit-stops in Formula 1?

46: Will Formula 1 NEVER Go All-Electric?

The Corona-virus has led to the postponement of the Heineken Chinese Grand Prix. Yes, there's some irony in the disappointment. But for Liberty Media, could this be an opportunity to turn race promoter? Can they host a 'private' Grand Prix in place of China just so that we have 22 races this year? Let's remember that there's money to lose if the calendar is reduced to 21 races in 2020. If not China, where would you like to see Formula 1 race twice at this season? We got interesting responses from our listeners.Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b) - are the Strolls considering to host a Stroll Grand Prix at a Stroll Racing Circuit to replace China?

5: If Not China, Let F1 Race Twice At...?

Formula 1 announced the 2021 regulations but NO team has signed the Concorde Agreement yet. Will your favourite team be racing in F1 2021? Okay, the truth may not be as dramatic as we're making it to be, but for Formula 1's sake, we're hoping that all the current teams race in the new era of the sport. Although Formula 1 could've handled the PR around this issue better.In 2021, will we also see drivers change teams? Historically, rule changes have always shaken up the order in Formula 1, will 2021 do so too? We'd love to see Lewis Hamilton do a Juan Manuel Fangio - basically, win titles with Mercedes and Ferrari. Maybe he could seek some encouragement from Valentino Rossi on winning with multiple manufacturers when they switch machines later this year.We discuss how a Formula 1 team could still spend $300 million dollars per season under the new 'financial regulations'. Is Formula 1's NZC or Net Zero Carbon plan to eventually buy Formula E and acquire all its carbon credits (if they have any, that is)? Would AWS be pleased with Formula 1's tyre life graphic given the controversies around it? Finally, we had Porsche's Formula E racer, Neel Jani, on our podcast a few days ago. Only that our audio recording failed miserably! Yes, that's the story of our special 301st episode. Tune in!(Season 2019, Episode 43)Topics discussed in this episode:- Formula 1 jumped the gun on the 2021 announcements? The Concorde Agreement is yet to be signed - will any team leave the sport a the end of 2020? Is this turning out to be a PR disaster for the sport?- Net Zero Carbon initiative - is Formula 1 doing enough? Is 2030 a bit too late?- How a Formula 1 team could still spend $300 million from 2021 too. We do some math- Lewis Hamilton could seek some encouragement from Valentino Rossi to switch to Ferrari come 2021- Is Sebastian Vettel the next big trigger in the Formula 1 driver market?- How can $175 million per year not excite a lot of people in Formula 1? Will spending to the budget cap become a prestige issue for teams come 2021?- Given the mess around the tyre life graphic, would AWS be pleased with their Formula 1 sponsorship activation?- Toto Wolff missed his first race since 2013 - he just needs more time to look for a Christmas gift for Ferrari- Lucien's Moments in Time sectionSubscribe: iTunes (http://bit.ly/insidelinef1podcast) , audioBoom (http://bit.ly/insidelineviarss) (RSS feed for all devices), Spotify (http://bit.ly/insidelineonspotify) and Google Podcasts (http://bit.ly/ilf1pgooglepodcasts)Official Page: Facebook (http://bit.ly/insidelineonfacebook)Follow our hosts on Twitter: Mithila Mehta (http://www.twitter.com/mith_m) and Kunal Shah (http://www.twitter.com/kunalashah)(Image courtesy: Mercedes)

43: Will Your Favourite F1 Team Race In 2021?

The future is NOW! Formula 1's Virtual Grand Prix series will replace the cancelled / postponed rounds of the 2020 Formula 1 season. Who'd have ever imagined such a start to the sport's 70th year. The upside is that we will see rivals race in equal cars, something otherwise unheard of in Formula 1. The downside could be that not all drivers will participate. 2020 will be a hybrid-season of races, many virtual and some real? In this episode, we discuss the steps Formula 1 has taken to try bring us as many real Grands Prix in the second half of the year. We could experience the longest off-season and the most-cramped-period in history in 2020.Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b) , we discuss Sebastian Vettel's possible following of Fernando Alonso's path in life after Ferrari. After the fiasco in Australia, Formula 1's made a series of smart decisions to protect the sport, the business &amp; the teams. We discuss why a postponement of the new rules for 2021 is a step in the right direction. Clearly, the virus has already impacted three seasons of Formula 1 and we're yet to see the economic aftereffects.

10: F1’s Hybrid-Season: Virtual + Real Grands Prix

Max Verstappen's been having fun - more so in his media briefings than his Red Bull Racing car; especially in the races after the summer break. But could his latest 'Ferrari are cheating' comment cost him a potential drive with the Scuderia in the future? Let's hope the young Dutch prodigy doesn't lock himself out from global car manufacturers who spend millions on their Motorsport programs world over. It's too early to forget Fernando Alonso and the learnings from his mistakes.The second story we talk about is the possibility of Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari in the future. After all, could he target what the great Michael Schumacher attempted to do and failed? The dream of winning a Formula 1 World Championship title with the two giants of the sport - Ferrari and Mercedes. Also in this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we wonder if Sebastian Vettel will trigger the next big changes in the driver silly season. Why is Jacques Villeneuve always so anti-Williams? We discuss Formula 1's socialist approach - the financial regulations and why they could be good for the entire ecosystem. Chase Carey's target of having at least 7 teams challenge for race wins under the new regulations and all the noise around Renault's possible exit from Formula 1. How many times have they quit Formula 1 only to re-join after a few seasons?

Let's hope the young Dutch prodigy doesn't lock himself out from global car manufacturers who spend millions on their Motorsport programs world over. It's too early to forget Fernando Alonso and the learnings from his mistakes. The second story we talk about is the possibility of Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari in the future. After all, could he target what the great Michael Schumacher attempted to do and failed? The dream of winning a Formula 1 World Championship title with the two giants of the sport - Ferrari and Mercedes.  Also in this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we wonder if Sebastian Vettel will trigger the next big changes in the driver silly season. Why is Jacques Villeneuve always so anti-Williams? We discuss Formula 1's socialist approach - the financial regulations and why they could be good for the entire ecosystem. Chase Carey's target of having at least 7 teams challenge for race wins under the new regulations and all the noise around Renault's possible exit from Formula 1. How many times have they quit Formula 1 only to re-join after a few seasons? Tune in!

50: 2019 Inside Line F1 'Parody' Awards

At the moment, Lando Norris is the only 'thing' about Formula 1 that's operating. The Mclaren racer has become a Twitch sensation - entertaining the much-deprived fans with lots of virtual racing action. If we were MotoGP, Formula E and the Indy Car series, we'd invite Norris to race virtually in our series, too. We like how Norris is building his positioning in Formula 1 - fast, friendly, social and funny; a positioning that actually clashes with the other jokester of Formula 1, Daniel Ricciardo.In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we discuss if Bernie Ecclestone's comments are worthy of the 'Chairman Emeritus' of Formula 1. He's advised Mercedes to leave Formula 1. Are Flavio Briatore's views generally disagreeable? We tell you why a possible delay of the new rules to 2023 is actually good a decision for the business of Formula 1. Lastly, let's applaud all of Formula 1's engineering and financial might coming together to fight the virus.

12: Lando Norris & Twitch - F1's Latest Obsessions

In this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b) , we debate two of Formula 1's most-useless topics. First, free-to-air vs. pay television broadcast where our choice is quality over quantity. Second, how many cylinders should a Formula 1 engine have? The current solutions to both these questions reflect how the business of Formula 1 has evolved over time.We also discuss 'The Baku Way' - a model for new markets of Formula 1 to follow. But for the existing markets, there's a lesson or three from Zandvoort's approach to the 2020 Dutch Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso is now a free agent - how embarrassing will it be if no Formula 1 team picks him for 2021? Let's hope Liberty Media is working hard to bring him back to the sport. Finally, would Helmut Marko ever hire two Max Verstappens for Red Bull Racing? Tune in!(Season 2020, Episode 03)Here's what's in store for you in this episode:0:00-3:00 - Formula 1 is primarily a European business, the official reports prove that. Do the possibility of boring races make pay-tv a more compelling business proposition for Formula 1 than free-to-air broadcast?3:00-6:00 - Free-to air vs. pay television, what side of the debate are you on? Btw, why are the reported 31 million Indians fans not tuning in to the television broadcast?6:00-9:00 - Do you still care how many cylinders exist in a Formula 1 car? Almost 10% of Formula 1's seasons have been powered by the hybrid-turbo power unit and we still keep questioning if we have the right engines in the sport9:00-12:00 - Is 'The Baku Way' an inspiration for new Formula 1 markets?

3: F1's Two Most Useless Debates

To summarise, Liberty Media was undercut by the corona-virus. Yes, that's the unfortunate truth! Liberty Media's strategy for the 2020 Australian Grand Prix was a lot worse than Ferrari's race strategies. Either way, let's hope that the aftereffects of their delayed decision-making isn't too heavy on the human capital of Formula 1. The 12 hours between Mclaren's withdrawal and the eventual cancellation of the race were Liberty Media's worst ever since they took ownership of Formula 1.In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b) , we discuss the three stages of Liberty Media's decision-making around the opening round of 2020. We ask if the delayed timing of the cancellation was influenced by insurance clauses. We discuss why no other team joined Mclaren in their decision to not compete and how Formula 1 management's 'who blinks first' approach was appalling. Tune in!Here's sending our best wishes to the infected Mclaren team member &amp; others who might realise days or weeks later that they were infected by the corona-virus due to the shenanigans around the 2020 Australian Grand Prix!(Season 2020, Episode 09)Here's what's in store for you in this episode:0:00-3:00 - Formula 1's microphone act gone all wrong at final media session of the 2020 Australian Grand Prix where the cancellation was announced3:00-6:00 -  Liberty Media's strategy decisions around Australia were worse than Ferrari's race strategy decisions - the corona-virus undercut Formula 1!6:00-9:00 - 3 stages of Liberty Media's attitude towards the virus outbreak - first, very Bernie Ecclestone-like.

Third, complete naivety!9:00-12:00 - Formula 1's indecisiveness around the 2020 Australian Grand Prix wasn't worthy of a series that's labelled as the pinnacle of Motorsport. Did the responsibility of cancelling the race fall between three stools - one each for Formula 1, FIA and the local promoters?12:00-15:00 - Was insurance one of the reasons why the race wasn't cancelled earlier?

Jehan Daruvala is the latest recruit of the Red Bull Junior Team - the Formula 1's team driver development program helmed by the much-feared Dr. Helmut Marko. In this episode of Inside Line F1 Podcast (http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b) , the Formula 2 racer shares how his partnership with Red Bull came about, if he received the infamous early morning call from Dr. Marko, Red Bull's targets and expectations of him in 2020, why he chose Carlin, who his key rivals are in the upcoming season and more.A note for our non-Indian / non-F2 listeners - we strive to bring to you different aspects of Motorsport that we work with. Our conversation with Jehan will give you insights into how Red Bull assesses junior drivers progressing through the Motorsport ladder, how Formula 2 team decisions are made, how a driver needs to adapt when graduating from Formula 3 to Formula 2 and so on.For those interested only in Formula 1, worry not.
