Mailbag: Is Norris '27 title favourite + Why does F1 keep adding soulless street tracks?

विवरण

The latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, is the first of our regular post-race mailbag shows, with Edd Straw joined by Ben Anderson to tackle listener questions sent in after the Spanish Grand Prix. Among the topics covered this time are whether F1 should consider allowing no-stop strategies, why F1 keeps adding soulless street circuits at the expense of classics, and whether Lando Norris should be considered the 2027 title favourite. There are also questions about Franco Colapinto's season so far, whether the latest generation of F1 cars is flattering Kimi Antonelli (and hurting George Russell), McLaren's pit stop problems, and a pair of F3 prospects, namely recently crowned champion Ugo Ugochukwu and Audi junior Freddie Slater.If you'd like to ask a question (and get bonus F1 podcasts, extra content and ad-free listening), sign-up to The Race Members' Club on Patreon today.We're giving away two 3-day tickets to the 2026 F1 USGP!
