Welcome to News From the Nerds - Our midweek news show covering everything you need to know from the world of F1. This week, James Abby and Sam cover:


The long-awaited Miami Grand Prix is almost here
It's been one of the most hotly anticipated races for some time and F1 has been all over social media, with the in-track marina and the circuit layout taking the headlines



Upgrades for the race
Who’s bringing upgrades, who’s hot and who is not? It remains to be seen whether Red Bull or Ferrari will reign supreme in the 305. Mercedes will hope to arrest the poor form they've endured at the start of the year



Crypto Sponsorship and NFTs
A new breed of sponsor is all the rage. McLaren have signed OKX to a deal and Crypto.com is the headline sponsor of the Miami Grand Prix. Will Crypto go the same way as other sponsor-fads or is it here to stay?


W-Series is back
Miami marks the first race of the new W-Series season and the first opportunity to see the new teams and drivers. Also, Alice Powell has some exciting news…



The Driver Merry-go-Round
Is silly season officially here, already?! An ex-driver has their say on their former team’s line up and will we see changes at McLaren before too long?



New Season, New Games
EA’s first instalment of the F1 game after taking over Codemasters is due in July. Will it remain a fan favourite, are the team excited? There's also a new F1 game of a different flavour dropping this Summer… will it live up to the hype?
