Ad-free F1 pod: Norris' development, the GPDA hit back, Mercedes' form & more
Added 2024-11-11 13:33:06 +0000 UTCOn this episode, with the title fight now effectively settled in Max Verstappen's favour, Edd Straw, Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson discuss what Lando Norris needs to do to move from regular race winner to real championship challenger in 2025.
They also look at the collision course Mohammed Ben Sulayem appears to be on with Formula 1βs drivers after the FIA president's clampdown on swearing was met with a firm and united rebuke from the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA).
There's also chat about Mercedes' recent form, plus we hear the thoughts of the author Matt Whyman, who recently spent a season-and-a-half embedded within the Silver Arrows' set-up for his revealing new book Inside Mercedes F1: Life In The Fast Lane (published by Penguin Random House, and available now at all good booksellers).
And finally, Edd, Mark and Ben answer another batch of your questions.

Great to hear Mark back in full flow. I always enjoy listening to him on the pod. He seemed a bit tired and exhausted on the post race Brazil episode though. Or did the time zone difference between the UK and Brazil mean that particular pod was recorded at some ungodly hour maybe? π
