After Red Bull tried to interfere with Lando Norris's grid tape in Austin (and at previous races), The Race F1 Podcast asks if the fractious relationship between the two teams has reignited. With both teams inevitably having to take a public position on it at this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix, we discuss the best approaches and explain why teams have always engaged in such shenanigans to a greater or lesser extent.  The question of whether there really is a ‘spirit’ of the regulations or the sport is also tackled, as well as examining why the lines that are artificially drawn between the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ guys by some are reductive.  We also tackle a batch of listener questions on Oscar Piastri’s struggles, Pirelli tyres, Carlos Sainz’s risk assessment and more. 00:00 Intro 07:24: What should Red Bull do? 12:08 Two teams on a collision course 18:03 Is it bad for F1? 33:45 The endless tyre problem 36:42 What's happened to Piastri's pace 39:37 Sainz's risk assessment 41:52 Should Vasseur be worried? 44:35 Verstappen's lost points 48:27 Time to go back to 2011/12 Pirellis?
