The Autosport F1 Podcast

Following the launch of the RB20, we have now seen all 10 challengers for this season's Formula One Championship.

Bryn Lucas is joined by Alex Kalinauckas, Matt Kew and Jake-Boxall Legge as we take a look back at the past 2 weeks and what it could mean for the season ahead. Learn more about your ad choices.

Toro Rosso / AlphaTauri have now been reborn as Visa Cash App RB. It's a hell of a team name, but in terms of online launches, RB's was a bit of an odd one - but they do break the design streak with a full livery instead of 50:50 carbon fibre. Bryn Lucas chats with Jon Noble to discuss Visa's goals, what Laurent Mekies can bring in his first full season with the team, what Yuki Tsunoda needs to push for, and whether this is Daniel Ricciardo's last chance in F1 or not.

Alpine's A524 F1 car has finally been unveiled to the public (sort of), alongside the Alpine A424 LMDh Hypercar at their London launch, alongside drivers Esteban Ocon, Pierre Gasly, Mick Schumacher and more. Repeatedly described as an "aggressive" car, it's been completely redesigned, according to the team, including a new, carbon-fibre-heavy pair of liveries. But will it help the team fight their way into the top 5, or drop them down the pecking order? Sam Hall chats with Jon Noble live at Alpine's launch (with a special guest!) and Jake Boxall-Legge to discuss everything interesting from Alpine's launch. Learn more about your ad choices.
