Experience the F1 season with unrivalled access to Red Bull Racing.

Matt Majendie and Rick Edwards are big F1 fans and they might have just hit the jackpot.

For the entire season Matt is embedded with Max Verstappen, Christian Horner and the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team. He’ll be in the pits and in the garage, with the drivers and in the factory, at the debriefs and the strategy session. Each week, Matt will share insider stories and updates with Rick in the studio.

The 2025 season promises to be epic, with Verstappen going for his fifth title in a row. But the competition is fierce. Multi-time world champion Lewis Hamilton joins Charles Leclerc at Ferrari, McLaren is looking super-fast with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, and Mercedes has paired George Russell with rising star Kimi Antonelli.

Join Matt and Rick each week as they break down the latest F1 news, the backstage gossip, which driver is thriving and who’s under pressure. Get up close and personal with Red Bull as they battle to retain their standing as the fastest team on the planet.

And between races, become an expert on what makes the difference between winning and losing in F1. Matt will be exploring the technical aspects of the sport – from car design and cornering, to understeer and oversteer, defensive driving and perfect overtaking.
