JA on F1 Podcast: How to “provoke” an F1 team into ultra-high performance

It’s a packed edition this week as James travels to the impressive new Aston Martin factory at Silverstone to speak to CEO and team principal Andy Cowell, the latest in our series of F1 Team Principal interviews.

Cowell speaks in detail about Adrian Newey’s involvement in the design of the teams Honda-powered 2026 car and how he’s ‘provoking’ the team to reach an ultra-high performance level.

Max Verstappen seemed to feel that his Red Bull team was anything but high-performing in the Spanish GP. But is that what drove his bizarre behaviour, colliding with MercedesGeorge Russell? James is joined in the studio by Motorsport.com Editor in Chief Ben Hunt and by Autosport’s Dutch F1 writer Ronald Vording to discuss the fallout.

Don’t miss the chance to compete against our expert writers on Motorsport’s hugely popular F1 Fantasy League.
