Is Verstappen really a title threat?

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has warned that Max Verstappen is a threat for the drivers' championship, a possibility we evaluate in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Samarth Kanal and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss Red Bull's recent progress and ask if the Monza and Baku form can translate to other tracks, starting with the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix.

We also look at the Piastri v Norris battle and how it might be impacted by Verstappen, and ask if the Red Bull driver could force McLaren to back one driver over the other.

And finally, we tackle listener questions on a variety of topics from the idea of bringing back refuelling to Alpine's struggles.
