Podcast: What F1 needs to restore credibility for 2022


Podcast: What F1 needs to restore credibility for 2022

The latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast looks at the FIA’s ongoing review of the way the safety car period at the end of the race at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix has been managed and how seriously the suggestions are being taken that Lewis Hamilton could resign.

Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to explain what the governing body process is – and is not about – and where changes are needed to ensure the FIA’s credibility is restored following the events in Abu Dhabi .

We examine how Hamilton’s continued silence and the implied threat that he will walk away could play into that process, and ask if he really couldn’t be on the starting lineup for the start of the season.

There’s also a look at the other big stories in Formula 1, including Marcin Budkowski’s departure from the Alpine team and what that means for the Renault-owned company’s ambitions.

And we talk about Aston Martin’s new team principal, Mike Krack, and what qualities he will bring to the role.

The Race F1 Podcast is published at least once a week and is available for free subscription from all good podcast providers including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
