The latest twist in Red Bull and McLaren's off-track battle (ad-free)
Added 2025-05-21 13:14:39 +0000 UTCIn this episode, we tackle the latest technical intrigue between Red Bull and McLaren and look ahead to the potential for an upset in the Monaco Grand Prix.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to explain the real story behind the technical directives that were issued before the Imola race, but only emerged after it.
They also ask how the mandatory two pitstops might impact the Monaco race, and if there’s a way for a backmarker to leap up the order with some clever strategy.
We also tackle listener questions on Red Bull’s driver situation with Yuki Tsunoda’s struggles, Liam Lawons’s troubles at Racing Bulls and Isack Hadjar’s strong start.
There’s also questions on warm-up lanes, Ollie Bearmans pace relative to Esteban Ocon, similarities between McLaren this year and Williams in 1997 and more.

Why is F1 using gimmicks to spice up Monaco? Next thing you know they'll have Joker laps and relay races.
