Show Notes

In this episode of The Race F1 Podcast, sponsored by Skinceuticals, we ask what’s next for George Russell, as his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli looks to seal the world title in Mexico this weekend. Is Russell done as far as being a title threat is concerned given his team-mate’s rise, or can he use the closing stages of this season to build the foundations for a title push next year, Nico Rosberg 2015-style?

Edd Straw is joined in Mexico City by Josh Suttill to answer those questions and look ahead to the Mexican Grand Prix, including which teams might flourish in the high altitude surroundings, and the importance of Colton Herta's FP1 outing for Cadillac as the American chases a 2027 race drive.
