The reasons for the Mercedes porpoising problem and why it’s taking so long to solve is the big discussion point on the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Gary Anderson and Scott Mitchell join Edd Straw to delve into the difficulties with the Mercedes W13 and ask whether the team needs to take a completely different approach to get back in contention for victories.

We also ask whether Lewis Hamilton’s disappointing results compared to George Russell mean his motivation might be waning.

The FIA’s objectives for the 2026 regulations are also discussed, along with a look ahead to the inaugural F1 Miami Grand Prix.
