Will Spa upgrades transform Ferrari’s season? (ad-free)
Added 2025-07-23 07:00:08 +0000 UTCWe discuss the impact Ferrari’s Belgian Grand Prix rear suspension upgrade could have on its 205 season in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Josh Suttill and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to explain what we’ve seen so far of the changes and what performance it could unlock in the hitherto troublesome Ferrari.
With Ferrari so far winless, we also ask how important it is the team salvages something from the season, and what success would look like in the second half of the year.
The impact of Pirelli’s decision to allocate the C1, C3 and C4 tyres is also tackled, along with what we expect from Red Bull after the upheaval of Christian Horner’s sudden departure.
We also take a look at the world of F2, with only six rounds remaining and the title race starting to hot up.

The teams can follow what everyone's doing as it's easy to see what tyres are used in what sessions. Pirelli publishes a list of tyres available at the start of Saturday and Sunday, so it is possible for fans to keep track of. But to do that on Saturday on a non-sprint weekend, need to keep track of what's used in FP3 to do that.

2025-07-24 08:04:34 +0000 UTCHow can fans keep track of each team's tire allocations? As the pod noted, the choices they make in their allocations can have a huge impact on their strategy and results. Is this information available anywhere to fans?

2025-07-24 07:08:48 +0000 UTCVery, but not peak Ferrari. You'd need to add a management change, driver firing and operational errors that turn a runaway victory into third and fourth.
