Max Verstappen's stellar performances in a Red Bull RB20 that has slid down the order is the main topic of interest on the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Samarth Kanal join Edd Straw to discuss Verstappen's season of two halves and how he's handling the pressures and challenges of his eight-race winless streak.

We also explain what Michael Andretti moving into an advisory and ambassadorial role with his own racing team means for its F1 aspirations and why it's still pushing on with its intention to join the grid despite not yet having an entry.

Charles Leclerc's form during 2024 and Renault shuttering its engine programme, ending CEO Luca de Meo's dream of a ["French Ferrari"](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/alpine-grasping-for-f1-shortcuts-after-french-ferrari-failure/), are also tackled.
