    Aston Martin: What could have been?

    • Round 5 - Miami GP Race Review 2022

      On this week’s ‘Cut To The Race Podcast’ Sam, Cal and Grace review the (now) infamous Miami Grand Prix.

      The panel cover how the Grand Prix was hyped up and even discuss the possibility that it was “overhyped”. The team take us through the weekend with a hot topic being the Turn 14 crashes and whether the safety standards were enough.

      We also look at qualifying and discuss who were our standouts. Then, inevitably, the trio discuss the race including the high points, the low points and the utterly dull points. One highpoint being Verstappen’s Lap8 / Lap9 overtake which leads on to the discussion: “Is Max Back?”.

      We discuss who was to blame between Gasly and Norris AND who was to blame between Schumacher and Vettel. As always the team give us their Race ratings and Driver of the Day. It’s not one to miss, especially with how bizarre the Miami Grand Prix weekend was.

        The long-awaited Miami Grand Prix is almost here

        It's been one of the most hotly anticipated races for some time and F1 has been all over social media, with the in-track marina and the circuit layout taking the headlines

        Upgrades for the race

        Who’s bringing upgrades, who’s hot and who is not? It remains to be seen whether Red Bull or Ferrari will reign supreme in the 305. Mercedes will hope to arrest the poor form they've endured at the start of the year

        Crypto Sponsorship and NFTs
        A new breed of sponsor is all the rage. McLaren have signed OKX to a deal and Crypto.com is the headline sponsor of the Miami Grand Prix. Will Crypto go the same way as other sponsor-fads or is it here to stay?

        W-Series is back

        Miami marks the first race of the new W-Series season and the first opportunity to see the new teams and drivers. Also, Alice Powell has some exciting news…

        The Driver Merry-go-Round

        Is silly season officially here, already?! An ex-driver has their say on their former team’s line up and will we see changes at McLaren before too long?

        New Season, New Games

        EA’s first instalment of the F1 game after taking over Codemasters is due in July. Will it remain a fan favourite, are the team excited? There's also a new F1 game of a different flavour dropping this Summer… will it live up to the hype?

                On this week’s ’Cut to the Race’ podcast, Oli, Sam, Abby and Grace dissect the third round of the 2022 season as Formula One returns to Albert Park for the Australian Grand Prix.
                Sebastian Vettel made his 2022 debut but it was not plain-sailing as over the whole weekend there was drama in every session from crashes to penalties to disqualifications. Free practices were unusually eventful in Australia, seeing Aston Martin have an unfortunate start to the weekend, which continued in Qualifying.
                We review the build-up to the race, including key track changes, Daniel Ricciardo’s excitement at returning to his home race, and Charles Leclerc’s success that sees him break a record from 2012.
                Ferrari had a mixed performance whilst Mercedes and McLaren bounced back with some good results, whilst Max Verstappen and Red Bull suffered issues they were hoping to avoid.
