Episode Notes

On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, we react to the news that F1 is upping the sprints to 10 in 2027, with the season starting and finishing with the two-races-per-weekend format and Monaco, of all places, getting that treatment for the first time.

Is this just another step towards sprints being ubiquitous, and if it is, will that change F1 for better or worse? Joining Edd Straw to answer those questions and debate the 2027 F1 calendar in general are Josh Suttill and special guest Nelson Valkenburg, F1 commentator for Viaplay Netherlands.
