As F1 heads to Baku, scene of his second F1 win in 2024 and the start of his championship tilt starting to unwind in 2025, we ask what’s happened to Oscar Piastri this year? On the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, Edd Straw is joined by Ben Anderson and Samarth Kanal to discuss the McLaren driver's struggles and look ahead to this weekend's race in Azerbaijan.
Edd, Ben and Samarth also chat about the long-awaited Williams upgrade and ask if it can improve the car enough to end a points drought that stretches back to Monaco in early June. Plus, we share our thoughts on who should be considered the favourite this weekend, at a circuit where every team will face energy challenges.
