Hello everyone, and welcome to the sixth Undercutters podcast. As ever, it’s hosted by me, Morris. This time we’re looking at the rule changes for F1 2025, and the schedule for the current F1 season. As always, if you want to get in touch you can find me on Twitter at MorrisF1, or leave a comment at the morrisf1.blogspot.com site. That’s also where I’ll post the calendar information, which will include not just the dates of events but also a graphic grouping them together by consecutive weekends. Rule Changes 00m:36s There have been a few rule changes for the 2025 season but these are mostly on the minor side. For the last few years there have been changes to the way points are scored, with the introduction of a point for the fastest lap and points being available for the sprint races. In F1 2025, the fastest lap point is being removed. There was some controversy last year at the Singapore Grand Prix, which was a dominant weekend for Lando Norris. Norris won the 2024 Singapore Gran...

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the fifth Undercutters podcast, hosted by me, Morris. Thank you all for listening. It’s been a bit of a pleasant surprise but for mysterious the last podcast had more German than British listeners. Guten Tag to any of you who are listening now, and, of course, to anyone from around the world.  Today we’re going to assess the F1 betting market. I want to stress that this is a sporting and not a sports betting podcast, so no tips are going to be offered today. So you might be wondering why we’re looking at the F1 betting odds. The reason is that bookies have a vested financial interest in making accurate forecasts and a good deal of experience and expertise in predicting how things will go. It’s their business, after all. So it makes sense to check their F1 2025 predictions and title odds to see how they think things will turn out. However, this does not make them psychic. Betting markets can and do make mistakes.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the first Undercutters podcast of 2025. This is going to be the first of a few podcasts dedicated to looking ahead to the new season. And once things kick off properly my plan is to have a preview and review podcast for each race weekend. Today, we’ll be looking at the driver pairings for each team and I’ll be picking who’ll end up on top, in my opinion (of course). For some teams this is very easy, others are harder to call. There’s been a huge amount of change this year and a lot of young drivers, with multiple newcomers and three drivers who are kind of newcomers in Lawson, Bearman, and Doohan, who have driven before but for less than a full season. I do need to add a quick disclaimer: Formula 1 is the only sport I follow. This includes other categories of motorsport so my knowledge of new drivers is based on research for this podcast and sometimes numbers don’t tell the whole story. It’s also worth remembering drivers can often be worse than anticipa...
