We love Bernie Ecclestone, we do! And, likewise, F1’s CEO is rather fond of making controversial statements which norally allow you to extract a pound or two of humour from.

In this week’s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal tell you why Bernie Ecclestone backs Donald Trump for President, and why he wouldn’t back Hillary Clinton’s candidature.

But this episode isn’t about Ecclestone alone, it also takes in Filipinho Massa’s celebration skills, that must be applauded and make the team wonder if Masa Sr. hired Max Verstappen’s PR agency to work on his son?

Should we undergo a rule change for 2017? Why is Mercedes resisting it and why are Red Bull Racing for it? Also, what should the rule changes be? All of this and more is up for discussion.

So, sit back, grab a cuppa and take in episode 13 of this season’s Inside Line podcast.
