Why Sergio Perez was testing a 2023 Ferrari and the value to the new Cadillac team’s preparations for next year is explained in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Glenn Freeman and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to outline the reasons for the test and what can be got out of running an out-of-date car built by another team. We also lay out the value of Perez’s experience, and also what to expect from Cadillac in terms of its competitive next year and beyond.The question of what Perez’s Ferrari future might have been had he not turned his back on its academy to join McLaren in 2013 is also tackled. In the final part of the podcast, we take on listener questions on topics ranging from Lewis Hamiton’s Ferrari future to first-lap stewarding leniency, and Valtteri Bottas’ contract to Red Bull’s driver decision.Want to listen ad-free?
