Courtesy of the Doohans, Australia’s Motorsport royalty, Formula 1 fans will be treated to Formula 1 + MotoGP demo runs through the weekend of the 2024 Australian Grand Prix.
Jack Doohan will drive the Benetton Formula 1 car from 2000 to commemorate his father Mick’s successes in MotoGP. Mick (Doohan) will be on a production Honda MotoGP bike (2016).
Also, the 2024 Australian Grand Prix marks the start of Inside Line Club’s race screening events in India. Soumil and @f1statsguru will host an event in Mumbai (Khar) while other cities of India will have race screenings. Yes, breakfast tastes best when served with Formula 1 action!
(Tickets out soon on Paytm Insider; check out our social media handles)
At this weekend’s 2024 Australian Grand Prix, will the chaos from last year continue? We had three SCs and three Red Flag periods while eight drivers retired. As Soumil mentioned it, this is the only “park” Formula 1 goes racing at.
Could Max Verstappen equal his race winning streak of 10 races? Is it really that easy for him and Red Bull Racing? Also, will this two week break have helped Red Bull Racing negotiate truce between all the warring factions? OR will Jos Verstappen’s possible return to the Formula 1 paddock (he skipped Saudi Arabia, remember?) cause more news and controversy for the reigning World Champion team?
In Bahrain, it was Christian Horner under attack. In Saudi Arabia, it was Helmut Marko. Who’s turn might it be in Australia? On-track, Aston Martin, McLaren and Mercedes have to chase Ferrari first – before they set their sights on Red Bull Racing. Will Carlos Sainz return OR will Oliver Bearman get a second shot for Ferrari?
The narrative has expanded to – who will finish P3 in the race AND who will be the non-top-5 team driver to break into Q3? Lots of facts and stats packed into this preview episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast with Soumil Arora, @f1statsguru and Kunal Shah.
Tune in!
