The Motorsport Network Podcast

After being invited to an early screening, Mark Mann-Bryans, Ben Hunt and Emily Selleck sit down for a bonus edition of The Outlap to review "F1: The Movie", starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and Kerry Condon.

Between them, the trio discuss why the production quality and soundtrack of the movie stood out and why they think it'll potentially be a hit amongst viewers that aren't Formula One fans. But also the problems with the movie that may irritate the people who are fans of the sport, such as unanswered elements of the plot, the romance angle in the movie and the portrayal of some of the women from the film. 

Mark Mann-Bryans and Ben Hunt report from Montreal ahead of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix and preview the weekend ahead. 

On this edition of The Outlap, the pair discuss Lance Stroll returning from his wrist injury to take part in his home race, and the disappointment for Felipe Drugovich, who still hasn’t made his F1 debut yet. 

There’s also discussion on Max Verstappen being on the brink of a ban, the different personalities of the McLaren drivers as they prepare for their next showdown, Lewis Hamilton’s struggles in the Ferrari camp, and MMB hosts his latest gameshow: “A Stroll down memory lane…”

Ben Hunt and Filip Cleeren report live from the paddock on media day for the Emilia-Romagna GP.

The pair discuss the latest expected upgrade packages for Red Bull and McLaren, with Max Verstappen sure that even with new upgrades, they'll struggle to close to gap to the reigning Champions.

Also discussed is the debut of Pirelli's softest tyres yet, the C6 and what it could mean on track, how Lewis Hamilton will bounce back after his radio fallout in Miami, and Alpine entering Imola without a team principal after Oliver Oakes shock departure last week.

In an exclusive interview, Emily Selleck sits down with star of the Better Call Saul and the upcoming F1 movie, Kerry Condon, and award-winning producer Jerry Bruckheimer to discuss the movie itself and its impact within the sport and beyond.

Emily asks Kerry what she's learnt about the sport after two years of round-the-clock filming alongside the sport itself, and what its impact could mean for women aspiring to get into the sport and other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) careers.

There's also a chat with Jerry on how he expects "F1" to be the most realistic Motorsport movie ever filmed, the differences between filming F1 and his last major movie (Top Gun: Maverick), and who he'd cast from the current grid in a movie, if given the chance!

Ben Hunt, Mark Mann-Bryans and Emily Selleck preview the upcoming Miami Grand Prix weekend on the latest edition of The Outlap.

On this week's episode, the trio focus on pre-weekend favourites McLaren, with Oscar Piastri the centre of attention as Championship leader, how he's dealing with the pressure in a fight many expected to be Lando Norris vs Max Verstappen, and there's a discussion on the impact of Piastri's title campaign back home amongst Emily's fellow Australian's. 

There's also a retrospective on this race last year and the differences between Lando's first win in 2024 and where he and McLaren are as a team now, as well as looking back at Adrian Newey's announced departure from Red Bull and how disjointed they are as a team. 

Also, Cadillac are expected to launch their season at the event, with MMB discussing what the American team are bringing to the table this weekend.
