Ben answers your questions about his Austrian GP F1 driver rankings

Brace yourselves: Ben's approach to tackling your questions about his Austrian GP F1 driver rankings is to go straight in without having seen them. What could go wrong?

Plenty of questions this time about the midfield standouts and how they were scored, whether it's time to reevaluate how the second Red Bull driver - whoever it is - is assessed, and whether McLaren deserved a 1-2 in the rankings as well as the race.

Plus, which of Ben's rankings will Edd disagree with the most? An...

Val answers your Assen MotoGP rider rankings questions

It's hot. Val's (briefly) forgotten the name of the race he was marking. So goodness knows how this is going to go...

He's got a tough job on his hands this week, too, defending one placement in particular - and no, it's not over who got top spot. Although that first-place decision was very, very close (Val even swapped them around more than once), so what was the determining factor?

Here's his debrief as he answers your questions about his Assen MotoGP rider rankings.

250 days to go - but how ready is Cadillac for its F1 debut? (ad-free)

Cadillac will make its Formula 1 race debut in 250 days time, in next March’s Australian Grand Prix, but will it be ready? That’s the question we answer in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Quiz Ben on his Austrian Grand Prix F1 driver rankings

Ben steps in for Edd on F1 driver rankings duty for the Austrian Grand Prix - and that means he's poised to answer your questions about his judgements too.

Aprilia’s near-win and its Jorge Martin stand-off (ad-free)

The Jorge Martin/Aprilia contract row erupted again during MotoGP’s Dutch Grand Prix weekend as first comments from Martin’s management and series promoter Carmelo Ezpeleta drove Aprilia to make clear it was ready to take Martin to court, then Aprilia gave more reason to question Martin’s logic by nearly winning the race with Marco Bezzecchi.

The Race Members’ Club’s rants suggested plenty of sympathy for Aprilia’s side, and Simon Patterson is firmly in that corner too on Th...

Quiz Val on his Assen MotoGP rider rankings

Here's Val's judgement on how the 22 MotoGP riders performed at Assen - let him know your thoughts and your questions on it in the comments and he'll tackle them in his Rankings Debrief video later this week.

The Dutch TT at Assen may have proven pivotal to the outcome of the MotoGP 2025 title race - though, truthfully, that title race was already on life support coming into the weekend and simply remains that way.

But the two races themselves were close, and the 'race' to be top ...

Austrian Grand Prix review (ad-free)

Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Mark Hughes to unpick the Austrian Grand Prix, in which Lando Norris defeated McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.

After his disastrous Canadian GP, Norris got the big result he wanted at the Red Bull Ring - but will it prove a genuine turning point in his campaign? And after Ferrari enjoyed one of its strongest races in some time, will the Italian team - with its revised floor - be back in contention more regularly from now on?

The team answer tho...

Scott and Jon discuss thrilling - and 'marginal' - fight for Austrian GP win [ad-free video]

Our qualifying winners and losers: in-car insights from Austrian GP Saturday

We're back with more in-car insights, this time to digest the major talking points from Austrian GP qualifying as Scott resists the urge to 'rag' the hire car on the hillclimb route home (with Jon and Josh's best interests in mind, naturally).

Join them in the Styrian hills to discuss whether this was the most convincing qualifying performance of Lando Norris's F1 career, how the likely battle for the non-McLaren podium place is shaping up, each of our trio's standout moment and disappo...

McLaren's next F1 driver? The surprise early star of the Austrian GP [ad-free]

It's not that often an F1 rookie gets to drive their first session in grand prix racing in the grid's best car - but even in that context Alex Dunne's practice debut at the Austrian Grand Prix was insanely impressive.

The Irish rookie is already making a splash in Formula 2 this year, and his breakthrough year has reached another level here.

But can McLaren have any cogent long-term plan for Dunne - or will it have to let him go like it did with Gabriel Bortoleto?

Formula 2 has never been more relevant, having produced six full-time rookies for the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Is Alex Marquez making it too easy for Marc in 2025? (ad-free video)

The Italian GP at Mugello drove home that only Alex Marquez has an at-all-realistic shot at stopping Marc Marquez in the 2025 title fight - but is Alex being too passive in battle against Marc to maximise that shot?

Here's how we see their dynamic out front in MotoGP this year, with a look at some of the specific battles and how they compare to other instances of rider relationships influencing the on-track product in MotoGP as of late.

Val answers your Mugello MotoGP rider rankings questions

Someone crashed into Maverick Vinales and isn't last in Val Khorounzhiy's Mugello MotoGP rider rankings! He takes your questions on how he ordered the riders the way he did after the Grand Prix of Italy.

Watch as Val's grilled more on that, plus Pedro Acosta's perceived under-performance recently against Vinales, trying to interpret Pecco Bagnaia's somewhat underwhelming result and bias in MotoGP journalism and punditry.

Deconstructing Norris's 2025 struggles + Austria preview (ad-free)

Bagnaia's final hope extinguished? Mugello reviewed (ad-free)

After the big hints of a breakthrough at Aragon, Pecco Bagnaia came to his home MotoGP track Mugello - where he traditionally excels and far from a Marc Marquez stronghold - and… didn’t even finish on the grand prix podium as Marquez took another maximum score.

BBV10s Debrief: Looking back at our BAR 1999 episode

Ahead of the return of Bring Back V10s for Season 12, we gave members in our Champions tier the opportunity to vote for an old episode that we'd give the 'BBV10s Debrief' treatment to.

Sadly for Glenn, they picked BAR's literally pointless 1999 season, which we covered back in Season 4. And as expected, you all had lots of things you wanted to discuss about the team that supposedly claimed it was going to win its first race, then failed to score a point all season.
