  • 17: “Reinvention Is Powerful”
    Jan 7 2025
    For the first JA on F1 podcast of 2025, we discuss Lewis Hamilton as he turns 40. The seven-time World Champion is preparing to drive a Ferrari F1 car for the first time this month. In his New Year message to fans, he said “Reinvention is powerful”

    So how will this reinvention for Hamilton go? What do we know so far about the 2025 Ferrari car he will be driving? And what does history tell us about F1 champions who make late-career moves; how did it work out for them? Is it possible to win a World Championship beyond 40?

    With James in the studio to dive into Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari are Chief Motorsport Writer Ben Hunt and F1 writer Jake Boxall-Legge. We also hear from our colleague Roberto Chinchero on the excitement building in Italy.

  • 16: Superforecasting - What Will Happen In F1 In 2025?
    Dec 13 2024
    Who will win the 2025 F1 Drivers' Championship?

    Will Lewis Hamilton score more points than Charles Leclerc?

    What impact will the struggles of car manufacturers, especially Europeans, have on F1 next year?

    How might geopolitics impact on F1, for example in the Middle East and Asia ?

    For our final podcast of the year, we thought that rather than looking backwards with yet another Season Review – we would immediately throw it forwards and Superforecast F1 in 2025.

    Joining James to look into the future are Jon Noble, Ben Hunt and Jake Boxall-Legge.

  • 15: It’s Ferrari Vs McLaren For F1’s Constructor Crown
    Nov 28 2024
    The F1 season is almost over. Max Verstappen has joined Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel as a four-time world champion. But there is one very important matter still to resolve.

    The Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship may not have the same caché with fans, but it matters a lot to the teams; it dictates how much F1 prize money they earn.

    But this year it means even more; for the first time in 16 years, the two teams fighting it out are McLaren and Ferrari. This has echoes of the great years of Schumacher and Hakkinen of Hamilton, Alonso, Raikkonen and Massa.

    Ferrari hasn’t won the title since 2008 and McLaren hasn’t won it since 1998. Whoever wins, it’s going to be epic!

    Which of these great names will prevail? Who has the stronger drivers?

    And how did we get here, when the season started with a series of Red Bull 1-2 finishes?

    With James to discuss this are; Rob Smedley, former race engineer to Felipe Massa at Ferrari, BBC Commentator and former McLaren mechanic Marc Priestly and Autosport’s own Jake Boxall-Legge.
