The power balance in the 2021 Formula 1 world championship swung back towards Red Bull in the United States Grand Prix – but only just.

Edd Straw, Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell assess Max Verstappen’s narrow defeat of Lewis Hamilton at Austin and answers questions about it from The Race Members’ Club in our US GP episode of The Race F1 Podcast.

Could Mercedes have tried something different with its tactics in the first stint? What’s going on with its lingering reliability problems?

Our panel answer those questions and many more, as well as assessing every single team’s performance.
