In the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, we ask to what extent Max Verstappen’s brilliance is papering over the cracks at Red Bull, given the team's struggles with its second driver, its difficult car, and the continued exodus of senior personnel.

Nelson Valkenburg and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to evaluate what Verstappen has to do to make things work at Red Bull, and what he makes of the latest driver switch.

We also look at Yuki Tsunoda’s prospects for Suzuka and beyond in place of Liam Lawson, and the skill set that should at least make him better prepared than his predecessor.

We also tackle more listener questions on a variety of topics ranging from who would be Verstappen’s optimum team-mate to the value of the four-times world champion’s sim-racing endeavours.
