We are back with our post-race LIVE show and we have the full house today! Join Kunal Shah, Soumil Arora, AND Sundaram Ramaswami (finally, back!) on the Inside Line #F1 Podcast.
The weather didn't disappoint, but the race gave us some great insights.Key talking points from the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix:- Oscar Piastri's bold & decisive move on Lando Norris at the Safety Car restart. It gave him the lead, yes, but crucially, it gave him priority in the pit stops, and that won him the race- The medium or the hard, which was the correct tyre for the race? There's an insight into McLaren's tyre strategy approach from this race weekend. How was Norris allowed to take the hard while Piastri chose the medium? - We discuss some of the best and often-missed post-race radio reactions from the F1 drivers- Stats & other race incidents - Lewis Hamilton's big gamble on lap 11 that "won him big" in the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix. He finished 11 positions higher than from where he started- Sauber's points score with Gabriel Bortoleto, but it wouldn't have come without team orders & why did Nico Hulkenberg make a second stop whilst in the points?

July 19, 2025 F1 2026 Grid: Shocking Predictions You Need To Know!
What does your F1 2026 grid look like? Will Max Verstappen race for Mercedes, or will he stick to racing with Red Bull?
Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah predict the F1 2026 grid on the Inside Line F1 Podcast.
Should Max Verstappen leave Red Bull Racing, will another top driver be willing to take the risk to racing for the team while they're in their rebuilding phase? As one of our viewers put it, should Charles Leclerc go to Red Bull Racing?
McLaren & Ferrari might be the only two teams with the same line-up for F1 2026; could Nico Hulkenberg finally get a shot at a top team next season? Sergio Perez's return to Formula 1 with Cadillac seems almost certain, but could Mick Schumacher be his team-mate with an American racer as a third driver?
Valtteri Bottas may have two choices - Alpine and Cadillac, but if Carlos Sainz departs for Red Bull Racing in 2026, could Williams also be an option for Bottas?
The F1 2026 grid might get a complete shake-up because of Max Verstappen's possible move to Mercedes and the addition of 2 new seats to the grid via Cadillac.

July 06, 2025 FIA deserves an Oscar for that penalty, Lando Norris wins | F1 2025 British GP Race Review Show
Welcome to the post-race LIVE show. Needless to say that our heads are spinning after an epic British Grand Prix this Sunday at Silverstone.
A big win for Lando Norris, a small disappointment for Oscar Piastri, but a major milestone for Nico Hulkenberg and team Sauber. Let's go! Share you thoughts in the comments below.
Was Norris gifted a win by the FIA? How did Hulkenberg score his first podium - was it on merit?
Did we see an emotional Piastri for the first time when he shamelessly asked for a swap with Norris?
How did race tyre strategy unravel for Charles Leclerc & George Russell, also another retirement for Mercedes & Andrea Kimi Antonelli.
And finally, was the FIA fair in penalising Piastri? And did they discuss this with the drivers in the briefing before setting a new precedent in race penalties?
And for those who thought the Safety Car did more racing, in the first half of the race, boy did we get a show, including the position swaps by Lewis Hamilton.

July 05, 2025 Max Verstappen does the talking...on-track | F1 2025 British GP Post-Qualifying Show
Max Verstappen chose to do his talking on-track yet again. He now has the maximum pole positions for any driver in 2025 - with four poles this season. In fact, he took pole in a low-downforce spec Red Bull Racing car, showing yet again that RBR-VER are always experimenting to beat the McLaren duo.
Ferrari's Friday pace faded away on Saturday...yet again. But both drivers made errors to miss out on a front row start and will only line-up on the third row. However, Qualifying for the 2025 British Grand Prix was fought between 4 drivers - Verstappen, Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. Oh yes, George Russell had an outside chance, one that he made for himself.
Let's see what Sunday's race has in store. For now, tune in to Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah's livestream for the Inside Line F1 Podcast.

July 03, 2025 Max Verstappen dominates headlines, Mclaren to dominate on-track? | F1 2025 British GP Preview Show
"Max to Mercedes, Max to Mercedes" whether it's a rumour or the truth, this is the headline that dominated the Austrian Grand Prix, and now, the British Grand Prix as well.
Will it be George Russell who will make way for Verstappen? Or will it be Andrea Kimi Antonelli? How impressive has Kimi been in his 11-race Formula 1 career so far?
The cooler conditions should make Mercedes faster, or so they say. But the British Grand Prix is always iconic, and this is the 75th year of Formula 1's home race. Lots of celebrations and memories in store.
