Ad-free F1 pod: Why itβs Bottas out, Bortoleto in for Sauber in 2025
Added 2024-11-06 22:12:38 +0000 UTCJoin Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm as they discuss Audi/Sauber's decision to sign F2 championship-leader Gabriel Bortoleto to partner Nico Hulkenberg for 2025 and beyond, in the process saying goodbye to Valtteri Bottas, who for a long time looked favourite to retain his seat.
Amongst other things, they discuss why Audi/Sauber have opted for youth over experience, whether there's a risk with Bortoleto beginning his F1 career in uncompetitive machinery, why McLaren were happy to let the talented Brazilian go to another team, and what all this means for Bottas' F1 career.
Plus, with Zhou Guanyu also out of a drive, they ask what's next for the Chinese driver.

I will admit that yesterday felt like 48 hours as Tuesday and Wednesday merged into one! Edd

2024-11-07 14:45:51 +0000 UTCI always have a very good sense of timing! Have always wanted to visit so I'm very fortunate to be able to do so - plenty of museums on the list as well! Edd

2024-11-07 14:45:28 +0000 UTCYeah, but Edd did say it all seemed relaxed in DC. I also think he said he had been there for all of 5 minutes before recording the pod. π

Meanwhile Ed just moseys his way up from the southern hemisphere after a long triple header to have a look about the place on one of the most tense days in that city's recent history LOL
