The Race F1 Podcast · Verstappen + Antonelli? Our take on F1's next big driver moves · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

I think for Kimi's race pace compared to Russell is problematic for Russell.

And it's the one takeaway he could have...

taken from Barcelona yes he took points from Antonelli because Antonelli didn't finish but ultimately he wasn't quicker at a racetrack where he was supposed to be quicker at least to our mind so I am pretty sure behind the scenes he's working extremely hard

To figure out the race pace and race pace and qualifying pace fundamentally are different as is the driving style because you're on full fuel load, you're worried more about deployment and harvesting and you're taking into account your tire wear.

And it is here, it seems to me, that Antonelli has the biggest advantage over Russell because it's nip and tuck and Russell might be quicker over one lap at the moment than Antonelli.

But in race pace, Antonelli, he's just relentless and he won't let go.

And that I find very interesting and a little problematic for Russell.

I was just going to say all of these drivers are incredibly happy to have a more predictable car.

And most of the struggles that Hamilton had, but signs in his early year in 22 with this regulation set.

Similarly, it was the unpredictability of the last generation's car, the flick, the switch on downforce, up or down, that they struggled with.

And I think...

A lot of drivers love the dynamics of these chassis and aero packages.

But Hamilton looks a lot more, I agree with you, Josh, a lot more like himself under these regulations.

Well, television, you pay the big bucks.

Or they just want us commentators in a car all by ourselves.

Talking about drawing the curtain, people will love this.

Melroy and I last year raced a i20 Hyundai.

um, against, uh, or two years ago against Carlos Sainz in a Ferrari all the way on, on some B road all the way to Oxford.

And he had to work hard to get rid of Melroy.

So that was quite fun.
