Are Red Bull ‘catchable’? – Pedro and Smedley have their say

Red Bull have been unstoppable so far in 2023. They’ve taken three pole positions and three victories in the first three races. So can the reigning World Champions be caught this season? Tom Clarkson is joined by former McLaren driver Pedro de la Rosa and ex-Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley to discuss how the rest of the grid can maximise a month without racing to close the gap. Lapo Elkann, the brother of Ferrari President John Elkann, has urged Ferrari to “wake up” as they sit fourth in the Constructors’ Standings, after a difficult start to the season. Rob shares some intriguing insight into just how high the standards are at Ferrari and how much influence the Italian media has on the team. The guys also discuss the progress made by Williams and whether changes at McLaren will take the team forward. Will Alfa Romeo be title contenders in the near future?
