We answer your questions in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, starting with Cadillac’s plan to sign both Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to sift through questions submitted by The Race Members’ Club, starting off with one about the driver line-up of F1’s newest team. The chances of Carlos Sainz returning to Ferrari, Franco Colapinto’s future and whether F1 cars really have “baked-in characteristics” are also tackled.
