🏎 F1 Extra: Would Verstappen be even quicker driving a Racing Bull?
Added 2025-03-20 00:00:10 +0000 UTCThe latest episode of our F1 Extra podcast, exclusively for members, starts with the fascinating hypothetical question of where Max Verstappen would have qualified had he been driving a Racing Bull (and not a Red Bull) in Australia.
That provokes a discussion between host Edd Straw and his guest Ben Anderson on whether Max would actually be quicker right now if he was able to switch his Red Bull for the seemingly better balanced Racing Bull.
In a lively Q&A episode there are also questions about whether it's a blessing in disguise that Yuki Tsunoda wasn't promoted to Red Bull, how long it will be before Kimi Antonelli is matching or beating George Russell on a regular basis, and whether Australia will hang onto its season opening calendar slot.
Plus, after skirting around the question several times and going off on a variety of tangents, Edd finally manages to get Ben to answer the question of which driver/team combination he'd love to see happen. And no, it's not Max to Mercedes...
