High Performance Racing is here! With Jake, Rob Smedley & Otmar Szafnauer

About this episode

Jake and Damian announce a new Formula One podcast featuring insights from industry experts.

Jake and Damian discuss a BIG announcement this week... High Performance has a new show, and it's all about Formula One. Hosted by Jake Humphrey alongside former Aston Martin & Alpine Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer and ex-Ferrari & Williams Race Engineer Rob Smedley , High Performance Racing breaks down F1's biggest stories through the eyes of people who actually lived it. Jake explains why the audience demanded it, and why no other F1 podcast is made quite like this one — front row seat to the paddock, from team analysis and technical breakdowns to the unfiltered conversations of the pit wall. You'll also hear a clip from Episode 1 — covering the cancelled races, the Mercedes era question, Kimi Antonelli's talent, and whether F1 2026 has broken its own sport. Plus...can Lewis Hamilton ever become an eight-time world champion? That conversation is waiting for you in the full episode!
