Kevin Turner sits down with Haydn Cobb and Gary Watkins to conclude their analysis and rundown of the 2024 Autosport Top 50 and positions 20-1.
As the trio delve into the business end of the ranks, some key questions remain - Where did Sho Tsuboi rank after taking a historic Super GT and Super Formula double? Who had the better season between Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc? And which other IndyCar star joined three-time series champion Alex Palou in the Top 10?

Kevin Turner sits down with Gary Watkins and Haydn Cobb to break down the annual Autosport Top 50 for 2024, evaluating the best drivers across all of the National and International Racing scene.
In the first of a two-part mini-series, Kevin goes behind the scenes and explains how our journalists and reporters put the list together, who was unfortunate to just miss out on making the list and who has dropped off the 2023 Top 50, before discussing positions 50-21 of the list itself, featuring drivers from F1, F2, the British Touring Car Championship, IMSA, Formula E and Super GT, Super Formula and the World Endurance Championship. Check back on Saturday for Part 2!

Also in this week's edition; a debate over whether Lando Norris or Charles Leclerc had the better season, the chances of Rwanda joining the F1 calendar in the future, and whether 2024 was Lewis Hamilton's worst season in the sport.

Alex Kalinauckas and Jonathan Noble review Saturday's Qualifying at the Abu Dhabi GP.
McLaren enters Sunday's race as a huge favourite to win the Constructors Championship after locking out the front row, led by Lando Norris' eighth pole position of the season. Jon and Alex break down the potential threats standing in the way between the team and glory, such as Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz starting behind them from Row 2.
There's also more heartbreak for Charles Leclerc after a track limits breach knocked him out in Q2, forcing the Monegasque driver to start from the back of the grid post-penalty, a shock elimination for Lewis Hamilton in Q1 after a freak bollard, and Nico Hulkenberg's exceptional performance to qualify in fourth before receiving a three-place grid penalty for overtaking in the pitlane.

Together, they discuss Christian Horner attempting to smooth over the war of words between Max Verstappen and George Russell, despite being called a "yapping terrier" by Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff.
There's also a discussion on why it's advantage McLaren in the Constructors Championship fight as Alex reviews the long-run averages, Charles Leclerc's 10-place grid penalty after a battery issue was found in his Ferrari, and the latest on Sergio Perez's future as F2 title contender Isack Hadjar shared the Red Bull garage during FP1.

Alex Kalinauckas and Ben Hunt head to the Marina to discuss a heated Media Day at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
George Russell and Max Verstappen engaged in a heated war of words in their respective media sessions and press conferences, with Russell calling Verstappen a "bully" and the Dutchman retorting with "Backstabber", with even Toto Wolff intervening to criticise both Verstappen and team boss Christian Horner a "yapping terrier".
Alex and Ben try to make sense of it all while also previewing Lewis Hamilton's farewell to Mercedes and their takes on the McLaren vs Ferrari Constructors battle.

Kevin Turner hosts the latest episode of the Autosport Podcast as he sits down with Stefan Mackley and broadcaster Karun Chandhok to preview the 11th season of Formula E, which kicks off in Sao Paolo this weekend.
After Pascal Wehrlein won the Championship in a heated decider in London in the summer, he's back to try to retain the title, and if pre-season testing was anything to go by, Porsche looks like entering Season 11 as favourites. They've also expanded to six cars on their powertrains as the rebranded Kiro will also be running previous-spec powertrains. Their main opposition will likely be Jaguar, who still carry arguably the strongest driver line-up in the series with Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. But can the pair of New Zealanders co-exist?
There's also a discussion about Lola returning to Motorsport in collaboration with Yamaha and F2 race winner Zane Maloney making his series debut, why it could finally be Dan Ticktum's year, and how the new "Pit Boost" feature will affect the series famous "Peloton" racing style.

Stuart Codling and Jonathan Noble sit down to review a controversial Qatar Grand Prix.
There’s analysis on the brilliance of Max Verstappen, who took his ninth victory of the season, leading from lights to flag after passing inherited pole sitter George Russell off the start line.
But the race was clouded by more stewarding controversy as Alex Albon’s fallen wing mirror led to Valtteri Bottas crashing into it, Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz receiving debris punctures, and a race-changing 10-second stop-and-go penalty for Lando Norris for ignoring double-waved yellows. Jon and Stuart review what any in the paddock described as “Draconian” penalties.
There are also words on an exclusive interview Jon had with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem on Sunday morning and the reports Alpine are about to drop Esteban Ocon early for reserve driver Jack Doohan.

Jonathan Noble and Stuart Codling sit down to review all the action from Saturday's Sprint Race and Grand Prix Qualifying from Qatar.
There's an immediate reaction to the news that Max Verstappen's pole position was removed; with the Dutchman demoted to second via a controversial penalty for driving unnecessarily slowly with George Russell in Q3, with the British driver now inheriting pole as a result.
There's also an analysis of Lewis Hamilton's continued criticism of his poor qualifying form, Lando Norris giving up a Sprint victory to teammate Oscar Piastri on the run to the line, and Sergio Perez's losing a position in the pitlane to Franco Colapinto after the Mexican driver missed the green light at the start of the Sprint.

Jonathan Noble and Stuart Codling begin their Qatar GP coverage as they review Media Day at the Lusail International Circuit.
In this podcast, the duo discuss the drivers reacting to the latest round of firings by FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, as Deputy Race Director Janette Tan and veteran Race Steward Tim Meyer were both let go in surprise fashion, with George Russell reacting by saying: "We'd love to get a little bit of clarity and understanding of what's going on and, you know, who's getting fired next.”
There's also discussion on progress towards new overtaking regulations and meetings with drivers on the matters, and what Qatar has done with the circuit to avoid a repeat of the tyre failings seen during last year's race.

After a hectic Vegas GP, Bryn Lucas hosts the latest edition of the Autosport Q+A alongside Haydn Cobb and Jake Boxall-Legge.
On the show this week, you, the Autosport audience, asked where Max Verstappen ranks on the all-time list of F1 drivers after capturing his fourth World Championship and pondered what more he needs to do to be on the level of Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, and Juan Manuel Fangio. There's also a breakdown of what our experts think would happen if Verstappen swapped cars with McLaren's Lando Norris. Who would win the title?
Also on the show; analysis of Carlos Sainz and whether he was right to be so bullish with teammate Charles Leclerc, ranking the American tracks on the current F1 calendar, and asking whether the excitement over Williams' Franco Colapinto has died down after a couple of high-profile crashes in recent races.

In a shock announcement, Formula 1 has announced that the sport has an “agreement in principle” with General Motors to join the grid in 2026 via their Cadillac brand.
Bryn Lucas is joined by Jake Boxall-Legge in a special video to break down how the negotiations, which had seemingly stalled, suddenly got pushed through during the Las Vegas GP weekend and why F1 changed its mind on GM’s proposal.
In addition, the pair also discuss who could supply the team with power units in the interim, Andretti’s role within the Cadillac F1 team going forward, the history of the family in the sport itself, and who could potentially drive for them in 2026.

Ben Hunt and Mark Mann-Bryans head to the Casino to finish rounding up the Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
Together they sit down and discuss Max Verstappen finishing fifth to win his fourth consecutive World Championship, becoming just the fourth driver to ever do. There's a deep dive into his managing drive in Vegas, as well as the key moments across the season that cemented the title, and just how far up the all-time list he sits with his fourth title secured.
George Russell is also discussed at length as he led a brilliant Mercedes 1-2 finish in the race itself, with Lewis Hamilton mounting a charged comeback through the field from 10th on the grid. Ben and Mark also ponder that with Mercedes dominating in a controlled manner, what could Lewis be letting himself in for when he joins Ferrari next year, who had to deal with Charles Leclerc having a heated rant on teammate Carlos Sainz in front of him in the battle for the final podium spot.
And finally, more on Alpine and the battle for sixth in the Constructors as Gasly's P3 grid start was ruined by a power-unit failure.

The FIA answer was cut from the podcast? silence from about 39:55 till 41:10 ... 🤷♂️
Bryn's mike is a bit 'hot'.
#1 senna at donnington 93 #2 senna at Monaco 84 #3 senna at estoril 85
Eduardo Freitas is Portuguese not french! Mitigation is quite acceptable in Portuguese.
Genius you gave away the winner in the description! Not great for fans on the other side of the world who have to watch it the next day!!!
dirty racing from Crashtappen like usual
great podcast. I grew up as a family member of the getem team who are still going. great memories
max was ahead 90% car length.... they were not side by side
racing incident. max was 33 pts in the lead yet didn't play it safe at all and assumed Lewis would be able to hug the Apex. lewis is more at fault but not entirely.
JBL, please make sure you have no halogen or a light on a dimmer running. The EM noise gets on to the audio.
12:02 A lot of subsonic noise on Jess' audio. You'd think she is banging her first on the table and the mike is right there.
If those are the fans of people's laptops spinning, they should ask a techie ( IT or a friend who's a geek) to remove the dust buildup from their heatsinks. Sometimes it forms into a strip of felt.
she has to be the best female racing driver ever right?
Give someone a stress ball or another silent play object, because whatever is clicking, it's bloody annoying.
I am unsubscribing to this podcast due to the blatant favoritism toward Mercedes. Yes, they have a successful program and have done a great job of putting together a well rounded team. However, the digs and jabs at Ferrari powered teams is getting old. Whatever happened with their power unit last year, that is between them and the FIA. Also I have notice the occasional dismissal of Red Bull and a lack of highlighting Max and Alex's progress up the grid.
appreciate them not putting spoilers in the title unlike the f1 YouTube channel
great to hear Jess. she was my favorite part of Wtf1. hope she can get over her hatred for Bottas tho lol jk
As we now have Albion in a RB , it does seem like they want to test him, to see if he is 2020 material. If he isn't, then we might get Kvyat?
David Evans needs to re-up his game.
With everything happening in WRC, you can also give us some real interesting insight! Diversify your content guys. We all love F1, but your talks are getting repetitive and predictable. Very.
