Formula 1 podcast: Are Ferrari, Mercedes controlling Fernando Alonso's fate, competitiveness of the sport?

Ferrari & Mercedes don’t seem interested in hiring Fernando Alonso’s services for 2018. But by not willing to offer McLaren their power units for 2018, they’re not helping McLaren (and hence, Formula 1) retain Alonso either. Are Ferrari and Mercedes controlling Fernando Alonso’s fate in Formula 1? In fact, we think they are certainly controlling the ‘competitive quotient’ of Formula 1 too. From power struggles, Formula 1 is now witnessing power unit struggles! In this week’s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Mithila and Kunal discuss Formula 1’s partnership with Snapchat, the business of the F1 Live Events (we can’t wait for the next one!), Formula 1 drivers releasing their personalised emoji packs (we can’t wait for Raikkonen’s) and how another ‘Sebastian’ might join the grid in 2018.
