The Autosport F1 Podcast

Martyn Lee is joined by Autosport’s F1 Reporter Filip Cleeren and our special guest, U.S. motorsport journalist and F1 author Elizabeth Blackstock, to analyse the Canadian Grand Prix.   They discuss the achievement of Red Bull hitting 100 wins in Formula 1 even at a weekend which was not one of their strongest. They also discuss the pressure on Sergio Perez following another qualifying where he failed to reach Q3.   Behind Max Verstappen and the inevitable World Championship coming his way, the battle for runner up spots continues to deliver plenty of interest with Aston Martin, Mercedes and Ferrari all giving us interesting talking points.

Ferrari has ended Toyota's run of consecutive Le Mans victories. Today we dive into the exciting centenary running of Le Mans 24 Hours, and the extraordinary journey of Ferrari's triumphant return after 50 years, clinching their first overall victory at Le Mans since 1965 with their cutting-edge 499P Le Mans Hypercar.   Host Martyn Lee sits down with sportscar experts Gary Watkins and Jamie Klein. Together, they dissect the critical moments, unexpected setbacks, wet weather surprises and driver performances that made this one of the most unforgettable races in recent history.   Martyn presents three key questions to our guests: did Ferrari win Le Mans on merit? Did Toyota contrive to lose it? Or were Ferrari handed a win by the rule makers? Our guests' thought-provoking answers shed light on the complex dynamics of endurance racing, offering an inside perspective on a race which was lead from each of the five manufacturers in the Hypercar class, marking it as one of the most competitive Le Mans ever.
