Of course, we HAD to call this episode as the ‘Outside Line F1 Podcast’, given the overtaking line of choice for several drivers in the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix. And of course, we received a 5-second time penalty from the FIA for our transgressions as well! C’mon along and join the fun in this race review episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast with Soumil and Kunal.
And also, the F1 App was hacked – was it someone called Bernie?

Max Verstappen’s first-ever Formula 1 career Grand Slam came a month or so after meeting Serena Williams. Lewis Hamilton’s bodywork damage due to end of life cycle for parts – HAM’s not been on the podium for 4 out of the last 6 races. He’s now trailing VER by 32 points in the Drivers’ Championship. After an epic start to the title battle, is this now a one-horse race?
Also, BOT’s second place was his best-finish of the season. But did you also cheer RUS a bit more this weekend? RUS vs. ALO was epic to watch – so close yet so far! Is Carlos Sainz Jr. overshadowing LEC at Ferrari? The Spaniard executed the reverse strategy to great effect. And finally, did the FIA find themselves in a black hole after adjudicating the NOR-PER incident at the restart? Would having a run-off area rather than a gravel trap have changed their penalty decision? PER and TSU were the FIAs favourites as they received 2 x 5 second time penalties.
Lastly, RAI-VET’s clash – how on earth did RAI misjudge that!? The cooler temps + softer compound made for an interesting race even though VER won it by a mile and more! Tune in!
