THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, we discuss how big an opportunity the Brazilian Grand Prix could be for Sao Paulo specialist Max Verstappen to propel himself further into the title fight.


Veteran Brazilian journalist Lito Cavalcanti joins Jon Noble and Edd Straw to look ahead to this weekend's race and the factors that will decide the balance of power between McLaren and Red Bull.


After a special look at the history of race fuels with Shell, we also tackle the impact Gabriel Bortoleto has made in Brazil ahead of his first home grand prix, and the implications of the Felipe Massa legal case about the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix costing him the world championship.


And finally, we look at what Franco Colapinto might be able to achieve next year with his confirmation expected to be imminent for 2026 and his progress in recent races.
