Max Verstappen does the talking...on-track | F1 2025 British GP Post-Qualifying Show

7/5/2025
Max Verstappen chose to do his talking on-track yet again. He now has the maximum pole positions for any driver in 2025 - with four poles this season. In fact, he took pole in a low-downforce spec Red Bull Racing car, showing yet again that RBR-VER are always experimenting to beat the McLaren duo. Ferrari's Friday pace faded away on Saturday...yet again. But both drivers made errors to miss out on a front row start and will only line-up on the third row. However, Qualifying for the 2025 British Grand Prix was fought between 4 drivers - Verstappen, Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. Oh yes, George Russell had an outside chance, one that he made for himself. Let's see what Sunday's race has in store. For now, tune in to Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah's livestream for the Inside Line F1 Podcast.

Max Verstappen dominates headlines, Mclaren to dominate on-track? | F1 2025 British GP Preview Show

7/3/2025
"Max to Mercedes, Max to Mercedes" whether it's a rumour or the truth, this is the headline that dominated the Austrian Grand Prix, and now, the British Grand Prix as well. Will it be George Russell who will make way for Verstappen? Or will it be Andrea Kimi Antonelli? How impressive has Kimi been in his 11-race Formula 1 career so far? The cooler conditions should make Mercedes faster, or so they say. But the British Grand Prix is always iconic, and this is the 75th year of Formula 1's home race. Lots of celebrations and memories in store. Join Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah on the Inside Line F1 Podcast.

"Worst place for Max!" | F1 2025 #Austrian GP Preview Show + FULL Review of F1 Movie (no spoilers)

6/27/2025
It's Red Bull's home race, but is the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix already turning out to be the worst place to be for Max Verstappen, and for Red Bull? And of course, it's called the Red Bull Ring for a reason. For starters, the "Max to Mercedes" rumours have started - and then, the Red Bull Ring does have corners that can make attacking-defending tricky. In effect, make it difficult for Max (or any other driver) to keep it clean and not pick up in-race penalties and/or worse, a penalty point. Soumil, Sundaram and Kunal are back to preview the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix. Also, the trio offer a FULL REVIEW of Formula 1's official movie "F1". No spoilers were discussed, but in general, lots of appreciation and one criticism. Upgrades for F1's 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, will Ferrari's floor upgrade help them fight at the front? McLaren's eager to help Lando Norris resurrect his form, and as for Mercedes, they're focusing on one key aspect - cooling. Yes, the Red Bull Ring seems unassuming (10 corners only, out of which 3 are taken flat out!), but this circuit tests the cars brakes, cooling systems and crucially, vehicle suspension given the "kerb riding" that's required to extract more lap time. The Inside Line F1 Podcast is back...and how! (Season 2025, Episode 35) #F1 #F12025 #AustrianGP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Max Verstappen Mario Kart-ing to the chequered flag | F1 2025 #SpanishGP Review Show

6/1/2025
Did the new technical directive really make headway for anyone in this race? And should the safety car restart have happened earlier? (Pardon the lack of audio punch in Kunal's track!) Before all else, did Max Verstappen deliberately ram into George Russell as the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix came to a conclusion? He received a 10-second time penalty for "causing a collision", but was Verstappen angry at Russell's driving or Red Bull's decision to put him on the hard tyre at the Safety Car restart, or both? But maybe the fans were entertained because they voted for Max Verstappen as the "Driver of the Day" for the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix. At the front, McLaren's Oscar Piastri dominated the race proceedings to score his 5th F1 win of the season. Lando Norris had yet another messy start, while Charles Leclerc ran a different tyre strategy to score yet another podium. Lots of movements in the Drivers' and Constructors' championship after the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix. - Fernando Alonso scored points at home - his first points of the season! He's the 18th driver to score points in 2025. - Isack Hadjar jumps Esteban Oon for 9th- Nico Hulkenberg jumps to 11th in the WDC, ahead of Carlos Sainz. - Pierre Gasly jumps Yuki Tsunoda for 14th. - Ferrari jumps to 2nd place in the Constructors' Championship - 165 points- Mercedes is down to 3rd (159 points), Red Bull Racing are 4th (144 points) - Racing Bulls jumps Haas for 7th place (28 points).- Sauber is up to 8th - up 2 places! It was a race of some of the nicest overtakes this season, and controversial ones too. That's why we're now LIVE on the Inside Line #F1 Podcast with Kunal Shah and Soumil Arora. 3 penalty points for Sundaram Ramaswami on missing our show today!

Too much strategy, too little racing? | #F1 2025 Monaco GP Review Show

5/25/2025
A chaotic race crowned the king of the 2025 Monaco GP - Lando Norris! Norris, who's last win was at the opening round in Australia, closed the gap to Oscar Piastri in the F1 Drivers' Championship to only 3 points. Well, we loved watching the teams put on some super strategic moves, make some tricky calls, and give us the spectacle we deserve at Monte Carlo. But was it too much strategy and too little racing? Join Kunal Shah, Soumil Arora, Sundaram Ramaswami LIVE on the this episode of the Inside Line #F1 Podcast after an eventful Sunday of racing! 1. Why was Ferrari quick in Monaco despite being slow on other circuits? 2. Why did Liam Lawson hold up the pack, and how did that force Williams' hand in race strategy? Lawson's team game helped him and team-mate Isack Hadjar score their best results of the season and in turn, uplift Racing Bulls to 7th place in the Constructors' Championship ahead of Aston Martin. 3. Should George Russell have received a stricter penalty for his defiance of track limits and track position violation? Finally, the battle for 2nd place in the Constructors' Championship between Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull Racing is separated by only 5 points! 4.

Franz Hermann wins on impressive Formula 1 debut | #F1 2025 Imola GP Race Review

5/19/2025
Franz Hermann aka Max Verstappen showed once again why he's the GOAT of this generation of Formula 1 drivers. Is Red Bull Racing back to being the fastest team in Formula 1? At least in Imola, they were the class of the field. Can this continue for the rest (or most?) of the season? Based on the radio exchanges between Verstappen-GP, Max wanted to win in Imola...but with a large margin. - Max Verstappen's most-classic and cleanest opening lap/Turn 1 move since many races? - Oscar Piastri's bad luck with McLaren's pit stops & timing of the VSC and SC - Lando Norris' podium that didn't feel like a podium! - Yuki Tsunoda's pit lane start to a points finish in 10th If Ferrari start higher up the grid, do they have the pace to win? - Lewis Hamilton's comeback drive, and Charles Leclerc's frustrations. What can Ferrari do to qualify better!? - Alexander Albon's missed podium opportunity, but fantastic battles with Ferrari. Should Albon have battled differently with Leclerc? The Thai-British driver reckoned that he could've challenged Oscar Piastri for the podium! - Leclerc's radio exchanges with Brian Bozzi on the Ferrari pit wall regarding the possibly penalty in his battle with Albon - Carlos Sainz's lost chance due to an early pit stop What a way to bow out for Imola!

Williams' run of pace, Ferrari's tyre warm up issues, Oscar Piastri's repeat pole, Lando Norris' struggles and Max Verstappen making a fight of it, again.

Kimi or Lewis - who will the tifosi cheer in Italy? | #F1 2025 LOOONG NAME Imola GP Preview

5/16/2025
2025 could well be the last time Formula 1 races at Imola, at least for the foreseeable future. Btw, have you memorised the LOOONG name of the iconic Grand Prix? Imola hosts one of the two races in Italy - the other being Monza. But who will the dear tifosi cheer for - an Italian prodigy in Andrea Kimi Antonelli or the legendary Lewis Hamilton racing for the Italian marquee Ferrari? Imola, Monaco and Barcelona - as we get ready for another triple header, look out for the upgrades teams will bring to this race as we start the "European leg" of the 2025 Formula 1 calendar. Apart from Ferrari & Antonelli, who else has an Italian connection? F1's Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri has claimed he has Italian roots and Racing Bulls' factory in Faenza is about 18 kms away from Imola. Did you know? Haas has an office in America, the UK and a design office in Italy! Imola could well offer a turning point in the 2025 Formula 1 season, and Ferrari would be hoping for a less embarrassing outing at home in front of the tifosi. And of course, Franco Colapinto is in at Alpine in place of Jack Doohan. Let's see how he goes!

Max Verstappen robbed us of a battle with Oscar Piastri - 2025 Saudi Arabian GP F1 GP Review Post-Race

4/20/2025
With all the drama and action starting right from Lap 1, the 2025 Saudi Arabian GP paved the way for Oscar Piastri to take P1 in the race and in the World Drivers’ Championship. From the scuffle with Max to the daring and unconventional overtake on Hamilton, Oscar Piastri gave us a show worth watching. AND he becomes the new World Drivers’ Championship Leader with 99 points on the board. With great driving dynamics on display, especially with the DRS games throughout, it’s been a race worth watching even for the midfield battles. Your live comments riling up Sundaram, and the rest of us pulling Soumil’s leg on Sainz’s race, this LIVE show of the Inside Line #F1 Podcast is also worth a watch! Miami is next and we finally have a break! By the way, if you haven’t watched it yet, you must check out why THE Franz Tost, former Scuderia Alpha Tauri and Torro Rosso Team Principal, thinks Oscar Piastri is World Champion material for the 2025 season!

Simply lovely, that! How did Max Verstappen nail it once again? 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Qualifying

4/19/2025
The 2025 #F1 Saudi Arabian GP Weekend is far from over yet! In this LIVE episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Kunal Shah and Sundaram Ramaswami discuss a dramatic, yet an edge-of-your-seat worthy Saturday qualifying session in Jeddah. Here’s where the slightest error could cost you everything — just ask Lando Norris! That being said, it was Max Verstappen at the end who did deliver a sensational lap to take the pole position! Our outlook for the weekend: - Is Lando Norris caving under pressure and will Oscar Piastri keep outshining him the rest of the season? - Will Max Verstappen convert his pole into an unchallenged victory? - Historical data suggests a preference for one-stop strategies during the race, but the softer compounds could prompt teams to reconsider. So how will the teams navigate their tyre and pit stop strategies? - With Russell P3 and Antonelli P5, Mercedes cars have a competitive edge. Does this indicate the team's potential to challenge at the front, especially if they can capitalise on race-day strategies? Will Ferrari find a race defining solution going into Turn 1 tomorrow?
