Ollie Bearman’s fourth place was the big story of the recent Mexican Grand Prix, but does it prove he’s ready for promotion to a full-time Ferrari seat?

That’s the question Nelson Valkenburg, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Edd Straw take on in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

With Bearman showing impressive pace for Haas, we look at his season so far and his progress and compare it Charles Leclerc, the last Ferrari protege to make such a step.

We also tackle Red Bull’s driver situation and the reasons why it has postponed its decision on Yuki Tsunoda’s future, and the factors that will play into how it fills its seats next year.

Finally, we tackle a batch of questions from The Race Members’ Club covering a range of topics, including the point of Renault’s F1 involvement, FIA stewarding, cooling at altitude and more.

Damon takes us inside the mind of a driver battling for the title, and gives his opinion on the wobble that's cost Oscar Piastri his big points lead, while Johnny shares his thoughts on why Lando Norris has come on so strong in recent races.

There's also chat about driving standards, dealing with criticism, Max Verstappen's skills in wheel-to-wheel combat, and the merits of McLaren’s so-called papaya rules. Plus, Damon and Johnny look ahead to the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix whilst sharing a few memories of their own of racing in Sao Paulo.

Come and join Damon and Johnny on their new adventure - and see if they really can stay on track...

As F1 2025 heads towards a spectacular conclusion, we wind the clock back to arguably the greatest title showdown of them all, which happened 17 years ago this coming Sunday: Brazil 2008.

It's a race that hosts Matt Bishop and Richard Williams were both in attendance for, affording us a unique perspective to look back on what happened, with Matt and Richard recalling how events played out through their own experiences: Matt watching on nervously from the garage as McLaren's PR and Communications chief, and Richard in the press room as a working journalist reporting on the event.

Listen in as Matt and Richard discuss the build up to the race, explaining its significance to all the key players, and how the tension grew and grew all weekend before that spectacular climax where McLaren's Lewis Hamilton snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, denying Ferrari's Felipe Massa - a moment that, even today, generates plenty of emotion...
