How an awful F1 project went on to win a championship
Honda's F1 engine project was going so badly with McLaren from 2015-17 that the manufacturer seriously considered giving up and walking away rather than trying to put it right. In this video Scott Mitchell explains how that outcome was prevented, and the key steps on the journey that led to the Japanese manufacturer claiming its first world title win since 1991 with Ayrton Senna Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. #F1 #Honda #MaxVerstappen https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace

Hamilton’s shock Belgian GP win and Russell disqualification explained
Mercedes’ delight at a surprise 1-2 at the Belgian Grand Prix quickly turned to anguish after George Russell was disqualified from a hard-fought win. Mercedes winning a Formula 1 race is no longer the absurd fantasy it was a few months ago but its initial one-two in Spa was still unexpected. The shock value of that was quickly surpassed when the stewards threw winner Russell out of the race just hours after the flag, ensuring team-mate Lewis Hamilton won after all. We explain where Mercedes' pace came from and why Russell was disqualified. 0:00 Two big surprises 0:40 What doomed Russell 3:37 Russell's ludicrous strategy 4:59 McLaren falls just short 6:22 Red Bull's stalled victory bid 8:08 Leclerc was overachieving READ MORE HERE: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/george-russell-doomed-outlier-belgian-gp-mark-hughes/ Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #F1 #Formula 1#FormulaOne #F12024 #F1BelgianGrandPrix #BelgianGrandPrix #F1BelgianGP #GeorgeRussell #Russell #mercedes #LewisHamilton #Hamilton #f1news #formula1driver #totowolff #f1dsq #russelldisqualified
Max Verstappen’s furious wake up call to Red Bull
“Not good enough, too sensitive and also really too slow”. That was Max Verstappen’s damning indictment of the upgraded 2024 Red Bull, during a Hungarian Grand Prix weekend in which he failed to feature in the fight for victory and became embroiled in furious radio exchanges with his own Formula 1 team. Such a crushing defeat never goes down well with someone as ultra-competitive as Verstappen of course, but this happened on an F1 weekend he declared especially important because of the introduction of Red Bull’s biggest upgrade of the season. Verstappen’s frustration has been growing for months, starting long before Oscar Piastri led home McLaren team-mate Lando Norris to take his first grand prix victory. 00:00 Verstappen's Red Bull fury 05:45 What Red Bull changed 07:21 Red Bull's mix and match strategy 08:22 The added pressure of McLaren's rise READ MORE HERE: Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #grandprix #f12024 #therace #f1news #redbull #maxverstappen #mclaren #mercedes #lewishamilton #ferrari #hungariangp #hungary #budapest
Ricciardo’s fury and what we learned from F1's Chinese GP

Ben Anderson and Scott Mitchell-Malm unpick the consequences of that incident, Ricciardo's reaction, the response of Stroll and Aston Martin - and analyse the key lessons from a race where McLaren over-performed, Ferrari underwhelmed and Mercedes looked lost (again). 00:00 Intro 00:25 The true source of Ricciardo's anger 01:35 Sympathy for Stroll? 03:39 A concerning response from Aston Martin 05:16 McLaren surprise everyone (including themselves) 07:39 Why were Ferrari off the pace? 10:12 Mercedes (and Hamilton) get lost again READ MORE HERE: Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #formulaone #f12024 #therace #formula1 #grandprix #f1news #redbull #mercedes #maxverstappen #lewishamilton #ferrari #danielricciardo #mclaren #astonmartin #chinesegp #china #shanghai
The evidence that damned Alonso in Russell’s Australian GP crash
You don’t normally see an F1 driver punished for someone crashing behind them without any contact - but Fernando Alonso’s driving in the Australian Grand Prix was penalised for exactly that. Alonso was given a 20-second time penalty for the "unusual manoeuvre" that contributed to George Russell's dramatic last lap accident in Melbourne. What initially looked like Russell shunting on his own in Alonso’s dirty air quickly morphed into something more, as it became clear that Alonso had at least lifted off the throttle on his way into the corner. Unsurprisingly this became very divisive very quickly. Was it a brake test? Or was it just classic, ‘wily’ Alonso doing an age-old trick of making the car behind check up - and Russell just got caught out? 0:00 Intro 1:13 What damned Alonso 3:02 Alonso bites back 4:54 But... he's wrong 6:58 Why this penalty?
