Why is the FIA planning a new-team application process, what are the chances of a newcomer joining the Formula 1 grid and who will be queuing up to stake their claim are all questions tackled in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join host Edd Straw to evaluate the possibility of a new team successfully making a case for being awarded an entry.

We also discuss exactly what criteria F1 will require from new teams and why even though it is wise to set a high bar, the existing teams should be wary of making grand prix racing a completely closed shop.

The question of whether more teams is good both for the business and spectacle of F1 is also tackled, along with evaluating some of the well-known racing names that might be pitching to join the grid.
