For many F1 fans, tyres are a boring necessity - essential to the sport, but dull to talk about. On this episode of the pod (which we promise is far from dull), Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Glenn Freeman to explain why, with Bridgestone interested in returning to F1 in place of Pirelli, fans should be very interested in what tyres the cars are running in the future. They also debate whether F1 would benefit from another ‘tyre war’, where rival tyre manufacturers would vie for supremacy rather than every team using the same rubber.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidClick here to join The Race Members' Club and have the opportunity to ask a question on the showGo to Indochino.com and use code RACE to get 10% off any purchase of $399 or moreSign up for a Chime Checking Account today to link your paycheck.
