Three new drivers joined the Formula 1 grid this season after a wild silly season, but can we expect a similar rookie influx for 2024?

The Race F1 Podcast host Edd Straw is joined by Josh Suttill, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Jack Benyon to discuss which drivers might be the next to make it into F1.

Each guest picks the driver they believe deserves to be on the grid next year and beyond, with options from F1’s junior ladder and those racing beyond it.

The panel also review suggestions from listeners and determine whether the drivers suggested are true no-hopers or genuine future F1 drivers.
