About this episode

While Mercedes has dominated the early stages of the 2026 F1 season, Ferrari has been a consistent thorn in its side. So what chances are there of the Prancing Horse being able to close the gap in time to get into title contention, and what tracks might it have a chance of being able to beat the Silver Arrows?


On the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill to answer those questions and many more submitted by The Race Members' Club.
