May 28, 2020 20: Why Driver Salaries Should Never Be Included In The Budget Cap
Formula 1 and the FIA have made one of their most sublime moves in recent times on the teams - a budget cap and handicap for aerodynamic development. They've also introduced two new terms that we will hear for the rest of time - glide path (for the budget cap) and sliding scale (for the aero cap). But the ONE THING we don't ever wish to have added to the budget cap is driver salaries.
Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , why the Dutch Grand Prix should never be without the fans (or TV-only), how Lawrence Stroll's paternal and business instincts need to have a clear demarcation and we bet that Formula 1 will offer more track time to teams before the first race of the 2020 Formula 1 season. Tune in!
(Season 2020, Episode 20)
Here's what's in store for you in this episode:
0:00-3:00 - The Mercedes-Aston Martin, Lawrence Stroll-Toto Wolff rumour and could it finally give us a Lewis Hamilton-Lance Stroll partnership?
3:00-6:00 - The budget cap should never include drivers' salaries ever! We tell you why
6:00-9:00 - A handicap system to help slower teams has reaped results in the past. It's a landmark move for Formula 1
9:00-12:00 - Will A-B team partnerships strengthen even more under the new restricted aerodynamic development regulations?
12:00-15:00 - Kudos to the FIA for starting a 'hotline' number for whistle blowers. But can you please also release the details of the settlement with Ferrari over their power units from 2019?
15:00-end - Audi & Formula E are taking their Esports commitment a bit too seriously. Is a promotion to Mercedes a bit too early for the yet-to-prove-himself George Russell? Finally, teams and drivers will need a bit of track time to get back in sync and rhythm before the start of the 2020 Formula 1 season.

May 20, 2020 19: When Last Did Sebastian Vettel Race Like A Champion?
Yes, there's more and more pouring out of Sebastian Vettel's divorce with Ferrari. After all, yet another former World Champion's career has been messed up by Ferrari, or was it the other way around? The moot question - when last did Sebastian Vettel race a full season like a former World Champion looking for his next title?
This episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) has Mithila-Kunal speak before handing over to the folks that appear on the Pole Position F1 Show. We're attempting a new format to bring to you even more insights on our favourite sport. Let's know what you think of our experiment by writing to us via our Facebook page (http://bit.ly/insidelineonfacebook) .
Also in this episode, we hope that Formula 1's hype about Fernando Alonso's possible return to the sport and Renault doesn't lead to an anti-climax. Are you expecting Carlos Sainz Jr. to settle into the 'number 2' driver role at Ferrari? We tell you why this might not be so. Finally, football hosted a tv-only match a few days ago offering a great lesson to Formula 1 on what not to do. Tune in!
(Season 2020, Episode 19)
ANNOUNCEMENT: We discuss all things F1 on the Pole Position Show every Sunday on our Facebook page via a live stream. Join the chat and our Formula Fun F1 quiz - 8pm IST / 1630hrs CEST

Here's what's in store for you in this episode:
0:00-3:00 - If Fernando Alonso doesn't return to Formula 1 with Renault, it'll be 2020's biggest anti-climax! Carlos Sainz Jr. won't willingly settle as a 'number two' to Charles Leclerc at Ferrari. He's got a very famous lineage to look after.
3:00-6:00 - Did the virus outbreak work against Sebastian Vettel's chances for a contract extension at Ferrari?
6:00-9:00 - This long off-season is the LONGEST Formula 1 drivers haven't driven a racing car in their lives! How will they tackle 'rust' once we resume racing?
9:00-12:00 - Would Max Verstappen or Charles Leclerc if Mercedes were to make them an offer? Will Mercedes change their driver line-up for 2021? Could it be George Russell or Sebastian Vettel?
12:00-15:00 - Are Liberty Media behind the driver changes for 2021? 8 out of 10 teams have at least one 'young' driver in their line-up. As Formula 1 pursues tv-only races, there's a lesson from a football game that was hosted by Seoul FC.
15:00-end: The Pole Position F1 Show with Sirish Chandran (Editor - evo, Fast Bikes & Motor Sport India) and the show regulars - Soumil Arora, Santosh Maruwada and Kunal Shah

May 15, 2020 18: Should Ferrari-Vettel Even Bother To Partner In F1 2020?
The Vettel-Ferrari relationship nosedived fairly suddenly. From being 'The One' who would help Ferrari reclaim their days of glory, Vettel was quickly relegated to the illustrious list of World Champions who failed to win titles with Ferrari - Fernando Alonso and Alain Prost being the other two. Were Ferrari right in letting go of Vettel? Will the Carlos Sainz Jr.-Charles Leclerc partnership deliver to Ferrari what several former far more experienced drivers couldn't? And of course, WHAT IF Sebastian Vettel wins the 2020 Formula 1 World Champion? Okay, given how they separated, we wonder if they should even bother to race together in 2020. Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we mourn Ferrari overlooking the availability of proven race winner, Daniel Ricciardo. But of course, Mclaren have offered Ricciardo a career lifeline and they'll have the funniest driver line-up in 2021, if nothing else. Would Nicholas Todt have influenced Ferrari's partner of choice for Leclerc? Would THE Carlos Sainz (Sr.) have pulled all strings to get his son (Jr.) a seat at Ferrari? And before we end, helmets off to Liberty Media for doing all they can to retain all 10 teams in Formula 1 after the pandemic. Tune in!

May 01, 2020 16: Will F1's Budget Cap Force Ferrari To Race In Formula E?
Ferrari are at it again. The Italian horse is prancing in a direction most of Formula 1 doesn't wish to go in. Ferrari's arguments against the all-teams-are-equal budget cap hold merit, but they assume that all will be hunky-dory in Formula 1 once the virus is contained. But why is it that Ferrari always have an alternate view on the affairs of Formula 1?
In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we discuss the pros and cons of Ferrari's exclusivity to Formula 1 - has it become a liability as seasons have passed? Would the value and image of Formula 1 be damaged if Ferrari race in other Motorsport series? In fact, we'd love to see Ferrari race elsewhere - Formula E, please? We're not sure about you, but we definitely don't tune in to Formula 1 to only watch Ferrari race even though their bloopers are unmatched.
Also in this episode, did the Wolff-Hamilton interview deliver a veiled message to Mercedes? Zak Brown's hits-misses suggestions to Formula 1 for 2020. Does Lewis Hamilton interact with his virtual character while playing the Gran Turismo? Finally, Lucien re-lives the classic 1989 Australian Grand Prix - a wet race that saw only 8 drivers finish.

April 23, 2020 15: Rival Teams To Protest Leclerc's Sim Setup?
Charles Leclerc is on a roll (again!). He's won two Virtual GPs back-to-back. We're sure you remember what happened the last time he won two Formula 1 GPs back-to-back - there were protests against Ferrari's power unit. We assume that protesting against sim setup is the virtual racing equivalent to protesting against Ferrari's power unit. Will the FIA be able to prove the legality of LEC's sim? Or will Ferrari opt for another settlement?
Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we discuss Toto Wolff's efforts to secure his future in the Formula 1 paddock just as rumours emerge that Sebastian Vettel might be struggling to salvage his future with Ferrari. We tell you why many unexpected circuits may be coming forward and showing interest to host Formula 1 races in 2020. Did you know that Romain Grosjean is the only team-mate Kimi Raikkonen isn't friends with? Tune in!
(Season 2020, Episode 15)
Here's what's in store for you in this episode:
0:00-3:00 - Kimi Raikkonen offers the most-epic stance on F1's Virtual GPs. Do you agree with him, too?
3:00-6:00 - Alexander Albon is the other driver who's been on fire in the Virtual GPs. Would Helmut Marko be impressed, too? Liberty Media has vested interests in the second seat at Red Bull Racing
6:00-9:00 - The rumours around Sebastian Vettel's extension with Ferrari. Have these rumours been spread to keep the conversation on-going in this long off-season?
9:00-12:00 - The truth: Charles Leclerc is yet to prove that he's a championship contender for Ferrari. We're displeased with 33% of the drivers named as Vettel's possible replacements at Ferrari
12:00-15:00 - The most-surprising exclusion in the list of replacements for Vettel? Sergio Perez! And of course, Fernando Alonso - would he be making a comeback, too?
15:00-18:00 - Would you tune in to a Formula 1 race on a Wednesday? Pay TV contracts could actually come to Formula 1's rescue in 2020. Those TV contracts could be funding the races this season
18:00-end - Toto Wolff's investment in Aston Martin could lead us to a Lewis Hamilton-Lance Stroll partnership at Aston Martin F1 Team?
