Episode notes
This week on News from the Nerds, host James M is joined by Abby and Sam and they delve into some of the biggest F1 news stories from the past week.
F1 (and F2 & F3) is back!
We have a full card for the opening round of the F1 season, as the support paddock kicks off the F2 and F3 seasons respectively. What are the panel looking out for, who are the panel looking out for?
Alonso confident but missing Stroll
Lance Stroll is still not yet confirmed in or out – and his name still sits atop his pit garage in Bahrain. What we do know is that Felipe Drugovich is the replacement, if necessary. How does the podcast trio feel about this?

AlphaTauri not for sale
…Or so they say. With the team linked to interesting parties Andretti, Hitech GP and the Mumbai Falcons Racing Team owner, AlphaTauri have moved decisively to quash those rumours. But are the panel convinced?
Don’t believe everything you read or hear, and our trio debate whether buying a team is preferrable to creating one.

Susie Wolff appointed F1 Academy Managing Director
The former Williams test driver left Venturi last year after being at the helm of the Formula E team since 2018. Now, we finally know Susie Wolff’s next venture.
Heading up F1 Academy as the series approaches its first season is no small task, but an exciting one, nevertheless. The panel cover the thoughts on this career step and what impact Susie might have for the newest junior category.

F1’s Football connection continues
Not one, but two football-related news stories this week: first, F1 has entered a strategic partnership with Tottenham Hotspur which will see a brand-new karting facility opened beneath Spurs’ new stadium.
Second, could Liberty Media be in the running to purchase a minority stake in Liverpool, and thus expand their empire further still?
