Inside Line F1 Podcast

Yes, two back-to-back episodes of the Inside Line F1 Podcast this week. A double-header, literally speaking. In this episode, we have a special guest. A driver who is undoubtedly one of the most-talented in the world of Motorsport. A driver who has an envious list of employers - formerly Mercedes and now with Mahindra Racing and Ferrari. A driver who we believe will be a championship contender in the upcoming 2019-20 FIA Formula E season. We talk to former Formula 1 and current Formula E driver, Pascal Wehrlein. And of course, we've got a few doses of Formula 1 too.

Formula E - We talk to Mahindra Racing's Jerome d'Ambrosio about the 2019-20 Formula E, their preparations, learnings from the pre-season test and more - Mahindra Racing's biggest challenge has been to remain competitive throughout the entire season.

Formula 1 announced the 2021 regulations but NO team has signed the Concorde Agreement yet. Will your favourite team be racing in F1 2021? Okay, the truth may not be as dramatic as we're making it to be, but for Formula 1's sake, we're hoping that all the current teams race in the new era of the sport. Although Formula 1 could've handled the PR around this issue better. In 2021, will we also see drivers change teams? Historically, rule changes have always shaken up the order in Formula 1, will 2021 do so too? We'd love to see Lewis Hamilton do a Juan Manuel Fangio - basically, win titles with Mercedes and Ferrari. Maybe he could seek some encouragement from Valentino Rossi on winning with multiple manufacturers when they switch machines later this year. We discuss how a Formula 1 team could still spend $300 million dollars per season under the new 'financial regulations'. Is Formula 1's NZC or Net Zero Carbon plan to eventually buy Formula E and acquire all its carbon credits (if they have any, that is)? Would AWS be pleased with Formula 1's tyre life graphic given the controversies around it? Finally, we had Porsche's Formula E racer, Neel Jani, on our podcast a few days ago. Only that our audio recording failed miserably! Yes, that's the story of our special 301st episode. Tune in! (Season 2019, Episode 43) Topics discussed in this episode: - Formula 1 jumped the gun on the 2021 announcements? The Concorde Agreement is yet to be signed - will any team leave the sport a the end of 2020? Is this turning out to be a PR disaster for the sport? - Net Zero Carbon initiative - is Formula 1 doing enough? Is 2030 a bit too late? - How a Formula 1 team could still spend $300 million from 2021 too. We do some math - Lewis Hamilton could seek some encouragement from Valentino Rossi to switch to Ferrari come 2021 - Is Sebastian Vettel the next big trigger in the Formula 1 driver market? - How can $175 million per year not excite a lot of people in Formula 1? Will spending to the budget cap become a prestige issue for teams come 2021? - Given the mess around the tyre life graphic, would AWS be pleased with their Formula 1 sponsorship activation? - Toto Wolff missed his first race since 2013 - he just needs more time to look for a Christmas gift for Ferrari - Lucien's Moments in Time section Subscribe: iTunes (http://bit.ly/insidelinef1podcast) , audioBoom (http://bit.ly/insidelineviarss) (RSS feed for all devices), Spotify (http://bit.ly/insidelineonspotify) and Google Podcasts (http://bit.ly/ilf1pgooglepodcasts) Official Page: Facebook (http://bit.ly/insidelineonfacebook) Follow our hosts on Twitter: Mithila Mehta (http://www.twitter.com/mith_m) and Kunal Shah (http://www.twitter.com/kunalashah) (Image courtesy: Mercedes)

Max Verstappen's been having fun - more so in his media briefings than his Red Bull Racing car; especially in the races after the summer break. But could his latest 'Ferrari are cheating' comment cost him a potential drive with the Scuderia in the future? Let's hope the young Dutch prodigy doesn't lock himself out from global car manufacturers who spend millions on their Motorsport programs world over. It's too early to forget Fernando Alonso and the learnings from his mistakes.

Max Verstappen's been having fun - more so in his media briefings than his Red Bull Racing car; especially in the races after the summer break. But could his latest 'Ferrari are cheating' comment cost him a potential drive with the Scuderia in the future? Let's hope the young Dutch prodigy doesn't lock himself out from global car manufacturers who spend millions on their Motorsport programs world over. It's too early to forget Fernando Alonso and the learnings from his mistakes. The second story we talk about is the possibility of Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari in the future. After all, could he target what the great Michael Schumacher attempted to do and failed? The dream of winning a Formula 1 World Championship title with the two giants of the sport - Ferrari and Mercedes.  Also in this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we wonder if Sebastian Vettel will trigger the next big changes in the driver silly season. Why is Jacques Villeneuve always so anti-Williams? We discuss Formula 1's socialist approach - the financial regulations and why they could be good for the entire ecosystem. Chase Carey's target of having at least 7 teams challenge for race wins under the new regulations and all the noise around Renault's possible exit from Formula 1. How many times have they quit Formula 1 only to re-join after a few seasons? Tune in!

Unless there's a twist of fate, Lewis Hamilton will finally win a Formula 1 World Championship at the United States Grand Prix - and it's gonna be one helluva party. Any guesses who'll be on the guest list? Any guesses which celebrity guest will wish Hamilton on his pit-to-car radio? And of course, Liberty Media have much to celebrate too. They've managed to release the bold rule book for 2021. In this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we also talk about the F1 Live Festival's Triple Donut Challenge, Helmut Marko's surprise admission regarding Daniil Kvyat, Nico Hulkenberg's love for American steak and burgers, celebrating 100 Grands Prix for Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz Jr., Fernando Alonso's absence from the race in Austin, Formula 1 blunders with TV graphics and more.

Yes, we said it, and don't tell us that it hasn't crossed your mind either. Apart from a guy named Cyril, is there anyone who wouldn't want Daniel Ricciardo to be back in Red Bull Racing in 2020? After all, Red Bull-Toro Rosso are still figuring their line-up for next season. Remember 2013? Nico Hulkenberg deflected to Sauber for exactly one season before returning to Force India. Could Ricciardo actually do a Hulkenberg? In this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we talk Mclaren - can they please bring back TOONED? Max Verstappen is a future World Champion, but when he exactly will he challenge for the title and with which team? Ferrari's neutral approach towards its drivers, now that's a first. Liberty Media's struggling to get a sign-off on the rules for 2021, why not put Bernie Ecclestone in action? Tune in!
