On track, Formula 1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix ended up an absolute triumph. But there’s still plenty for F1 to learn from and make amends over – as The Race F1 Podcast discusses
The Las Vegas Grand Prix lived up to the pre-event hype and provided possibly the best race of the 2023 Formula 1 season. Edd Straw, Scott Mitchell-Malm, and Mark Hughes discuss and celebrate the race weekend on The Race F1 Podcast. However, on race day, the focus shifted from the excitement and glamour to the dissatisfaction with F1’s rules and how they were applied. Some teams and fans were bitter about Max Verstappen not having to give first place back to Charles Leclerc after making a questionable move at the start, and Carlos Sainz being penalized and removed from the lead fight for component changes that were deemed unjust by the stewards. Many questions from The Race Members’ Club for the podcast panel revolved around these controversies and the frustration caused by the track problems on Thursday night, which resulted in most of the day one running taking place in the middle of the night without spectators. The Race F1 Podcast is available to subscribe for free on popular podcast platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
