It’s Miami GP week. We have an exciting podcast with two special guests from different parts of the F1 spectrum. Racing Bulls F1 team principal Laurent Mekies invites James up to the new factory in Milton Keynes to chat about what it takes to be a modern F1 team boss as well as the season so far with all the dramas of Hadjar, Lawson and Tsunoda.

And ahead of this weekend’s Miami GP we speak to one of F1’s biggest influencers, Matt Gallagher of P1 with Matt and Tommy fame. They are hosting the Race Center Live watchalong on our Motorsport channel this weekend in Miami, so we get Matt’s irreverent take on all things F1.

James is also joined in the Studio by our ace F1 reporter Ronald Vording, en route to Miami.

Don’t miss the chance to compete against our expert writers on Motorsport’s hugely popular F1 Fantasy League. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/race-our-writers-motorsport-launches-its-first-ever-featured-league-on-f1-fantasy/10702182/
