Inside Line F1 Podcast

So it seems that the Ecclestone surname isn’t necessarily a ticket to outstanding business acumen say Mithila and Kunal in the last episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast. And by last, we mean the last of 2015. Happy New Year!

They wonder if the Lauda-Hamilton bromance was timed with Lewis-Nicole’s split and if Toto is Formula 1’s ‘crying wolf’! Is Raikkonen capable of aiding Vettel’s title challenge? Could Kevin Magnussen have helped save Jenson Button-Jessica Michibata’s marriage?

They talk about Renault’s smart $1.50 purchase of Lotus but believe the French manufacturer is displaying lack of smartness when it comes to their driver line-up. And lastly, on the second anniversary of his life-threatening accident, they pray for Michael Schumacher’s speedy recovery. Tune in!

Alain Prost is rumoured to play a Niki Lauda-type role for Renault when they return as a manufacturer team to Formula 1 in 2016. Would this mean that a Prost-Pastor bromance is in the offing a la Lauda-Hamilton?

In a week when Hamilton revealed that he was 'dyslexic', Mithila and Kunal try and figure why he labelled his fellow drivers as 'squares', possibly the most non-aerodynamic of all shapes.

Apart from discussing the Sainz-Verstappen pairing, the duo also reveal why Kimi Raikkonen found Ferrari to be a 'happier' place in 2015. And lastly, can't Mercedes and Ferrari manufacture their power trains in China or India to make them more affordable? Tune in! (Season 2015; Episode 41)

After a three week break, the Inside Line F1 Podcast is back with their 40th episode of the 2015 F1 season! This season has been about Lewis Hamilton - his wins, losses, social media antics, music and the stuff he's said. Mithila and Kunal go about listing all that the three time World Champion has said in the last few weeks and all that the others have said about him.

Is Lewis Hamilton the new bad boy of Formula 1? Are his controversies attracting more attention towards and otherwise boring season (or sport)? And of course, can Mercedes survive without either or both of their drivers?

They discuss the supposed 'Spy Gate' and why the engineer who attempted it isn't too smart after all. And is Tag Heuer smart in moving their bucks from Mclaren to Red Bull Racing for 2016? Our hosts explain how #DontCrackUnderPressure couldn't go hand in hand with #BelieveInMclarenHonda!

There's also a discussion on Renault and their umpteenth return to Formula 1 as a car manufacturer and how Toro Rosso could well be the team to be in rather than Red Bull Racing. Tune in! (Season 2015, Episode 40)

Has 'heavy partying' compromised Lewis Hamilton's pace wonder Mithila and Kunal in this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast. And if so, shouldn't Nico Rosberg hire a professional party planner already? Kunal also explains why Hamilton's race in P2 was far better than all of Rosberg's races in P2 this season.

The duo thank God yet again for Max Verstappen and wonder if there's a lesson or two for Kimi Raikkonen. They put their marketing hats together and offer a new positioning for the ailing but humourous Mclaren-Honda team.

Lastly, they ask if Vettel's helmet act on the podium (a la MotoGP style) should become mandatory next season onwards. Tune in! (Season 2015, Episode 39)

In this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal tell you why young Max is exactly what Formula 1 needs right now and how 'when' is more interesting than 'which' when it comes to discussing his move to a top team.

They also speculate over Hamilton's retirement, why he wants to reunite with Nicole Sherzinger, Red Bull's ingenious engine solution and why Williams need to start planning Massa's retirement party already. Tune in! (Season 2015, Episode 38)

Valtteri Bottas got his revenge in Mexico, but did Nico Rosberg get his too? Could an aggressive approach by Pirelli have livened up the inaugural Mexican Grand Prix from being a boring and a processional race? And in this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal tell you why Force India and Sergio 'Checo' Perez were the true heroes in Mexico. Tune in! (Season 2015; Episode 37)
