Ad-free F1 podcast: Previewing Las Vegas and the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship
Added 2024-11-21 13:18:56 +0000 UTCCompared to last year, the opening day of the Las Vegas Grand Prix event was relatively subdued, but despite the lack of razzmatazz there's still plenty to talk about on The Race F1 Podcast.
Ben Anderson joins Edd Straw after a long day in the paddock to give you a taste of what it's like to be in Las Vegas and what's changed since last year.
As this is Ben's first visit to Vegas, he offers a fresh perspective on the unique qualities of the event - and the challenges of the strange timetable - but inevitably the big talking point is the start of the triple header that will decide the constructors' championship.
We weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull and the factors that might impact their performance this weekend - including a technical directive issued since the last race in Brazil.
The response, or lack thereof, to the GPDA's statement on the FIA's crackdown on swearing and the way it has been pursued, is also a talking point.

Has the (mis) fortune of going to Vegas for work. I won’t say I hated it, but I don’t need to see it again. One observation: I spent a fair bit of my time at night on the strip. During my week there, I sae several escalators (used for crossing over the strip) out of action, and for several hours too. I only saw 1 pokie out of order, and there was a technician working on it within 5 mins.
