JA on F1 Podcast: F1's latest ugly bust-ups

Some of the relationships between leading F1 drivers and their cars are coming under serious strain. In the latest JA on F1 podcast, Autosport takes a look at the fallings-out going on up and down the grid

Formula 1 has taken some very interesting turns in the last week.

After last weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris have all admitted to ongoing struggles while Oscar Piastri put himself firmly in contention for the 2025 title. 

The FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem also made his first appearance of the season in Bahrain, after a tumultuous week of resignations and accusations. He had a chat with F1 teams and manufacturers about the possibility of V10 engines returning, but that is currently unlikely.

In the studio with James Allen to analyse the behind-the-scenes intrigue and decode why some top drivers need relationship counselling with their cars are Autosport's F1 writers Ronald Vording and Jake Boxall-Legge. 

It’s also the last chance to take part in the Global F1 Fan Survey, which the Motorsport Network is running together with F1. Make your voice heard about F1 regarding what you like, what you don’t like and who your favourite teams and drivers are. It closes soon, so take part here

And don’t miss the chance to compete against writers from the Motorsport Network in the hugely popular F1 Fantasy League.
