Ollie Bearman’s fourth place was the big story of the recent Mexican Grand Prix, but does it prove he’s ready for promotion to a full-time Ferrari seat?

That’s the question Nelson Valkenburg, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Edd Straw take on in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 

With Bearman showing impressive pace for Haas, we look at his season so far and his progress and compare it Charles Leclerc, the last Ferrari protege to make such a step.

We also tackle Red Bull’s driver situation and the reasons why it has postponed its decision on Yuki Tsunoda’s future, and the factors that will play into how it fills its seats next year. 

Finally, we tackle a batch of questions from The Race Members’ Club covering a range of topics, including the point of Renault’s F1 involvement, FIA stewarding, cooling at altitude and more.
