We've got a bumper episode for you this week, as Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm, Ben Anderson and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw to present The Race's Top 10 F1 drivers of 2023. We created our list by asking each of our guests to rank all of the drivers on the grid, with their scores then combined to produce a top 10. But which drivers made it in and which missed the cut? And are there any big surprises along the way? Listen in and then let us know on social media whether you agreed with our ranking and rationale.

Miami GP: How Lando Norris finally became an F1 winner

It's official: Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull Racing. Newey, the team's chief technical officer, will step back from F1 design duties this year and instead focus on Red Bull's RB17 hypercar project before leaving Red Bull altogether in early 2025. But why is Newey leaving? Will he end up joining a rival F1 team? And how will Red Bull cope with the loss of one of F1's most celebrated design geniuses? These are just some of the questions tackled by Edd Straw and guests Glenn Freeman and Josh Suttill.

Adrian Newey's Red Bull exit - All you need to know

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Edd Straw and Scott Mitchell-Malm are joined by special guest Guenther Steiner - now an ambassador for the event.

He also offers his opinion on Andretti's bid to make the Formula 1 grid, and explains how else he's spending his time now he's not running a team.

EXCLUSIVE: Guenther Steiner on Haas, Andretti’s hopes, and the Miami GP

It's been a busy couple of days in the world of F1 news, and Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to unpack it all. First, they discuss Friday's big news: Nico Hulkenberg becoming the first Audi F1 driver signing. Is this a shrewd move on Audi's part, or an uninspired choice? And what might this move mean for Carlos Sainz and the rest of the drivers involved in an increasingly complicated driver market?
Secondly, Edd, Mark and Ben assess the bombshell news that design genius Adrian Newey could walk away from Red Bull, amid the turmoil that, despite its dominance on track, has engulfed the team off-track this season. They look at the reasons why Newey could walk and debate where he might land next - if, that is, he decides to stay in F1 at all...
