The trio cover the key talking points heading into the weekend, such as the debates over porpoising and what technical regulations may or may not be introduced to counter the problem, before getting into the nitty-gritty of the action.

They discuss practice - particularly the fascinating wet Practice 3 - and Saturday's thrilling qualifying. Should George Russell have taken the risk of the dry tyres? How did Haas manage to lock out row three? It's been how long since Fernando Alonso was last on the front row?

And, of course, they share their views on the race itself, including the charge through the field by Charles Leclerc, the return to form of Lewis Hamilton (or was he never out of form?), Carlos Sainz coming so close but yet so far again and where it all went wrong for Alonso. There were plenty of other under-the-radar performances - some good, some bad - to discuss up and down the field too, along with the pressing question: is the title decided already?

Then, as is tradition, they conclude with their choices for Driver of the Day and race ratings.I

t's a return to home soil (at least for most of us) in a fortnight's time with the British Grand Prix, so be sure to check our race review for the hugely popular weekend in Silverstone.

On this edition of the ‘Cut to the Race’ Podcast, Oli is joined by Sam, James P, and another new panellist, John, as they dissect the ‘usually a blockbuster’ Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.

In this episode, the team cover the key talking points heading into the race, namely whether Nicholas Latifi’s days are numbered, and if Williams are soon to be with a new engine supplier.

The debate over ‘Max Verstappen Racing’ and surging Sergio rumbled on, playing a big role in the narrative of surrounding the run up to the weekend.

The agenda was heavily influenced by the ongoing struggle with porpoising. Is it a solely Mercedes problem, or is it wider than that? It dominated conversations during practice and on Saturday before, and after, the really important parts of the event.

Once there, the team discuss the ever-entertaining qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which seems to almost guarantee at least one red flag. Was Stroll unlucky, is it is symptomatic of a larger problem for the driver?

The panel share their views on the start of the race, the pain endured by Ferrari, and the impact it is, or isn’t yet, having on the championship. Can Ferrari claw it back, or is it already too late?It was an interesting weekend at McLaren. In the midst of widespread criticism, Daniel Ricciardo appears to have closed the delta between himself and the always impressive Lando Norris. The team didn’t have the easiest day from a driver-management perspective. Did they ultimately get it right, or did they get it wrong?

There were quiet and unassuming performances up and down the field. Some of them caught the attention of the team as they decided on their drivers of the day before concluding with their race rating.

The long-awaited return of the Canadian Grand Prix is up next weekend, so be sure to check our race review for the popular race in Montreal.

On this week’s ‘Cut to the Race’ Podcast, Sam is joined by Cal, Abby and new podcast panellist, James P, as they cover the crown jewel of the Formula One calendar: the Monaco Grand Prix.

In the episode, the team cover all the highlights from qualifying and the race, as well as wider conversations surrounding the sport, such as the long-term feasibility of the Monaco Grand Prix, and whether it should remain on the calendar with the current era of cars being so big and so heavy. And crucially, what the sport could do to rectify some of the issues facing Monaco.

The panel share their thoughts on the race direction and ponder what might have been the problem as F1 narrowly avoided a repeat of Spa 2021.The aptitude of Ferrari’s race strategy is called into question after a less than perfect race and the group debate how much of an impact on the championship it might end up having, or is it already too late?

Sergio Perez and the dynamics within Red Bull are on the agenda. Is he biting off more than he can chew, or are the team getting more than they bargained for, and what issues might that cause? But also, controversially, what might the Mexican have signed?

Alex Albon, Mick Schumacher and Fernando Alonso feature for their own unique reasons before the team rounds up and with their drivers of the day and weekend ratings.
