Well, someone had to pay the price for Ferrari’s debacle in 2018\. But by promoting Mattia Binotto, has Ferrari promoted their best engineer in a non-engineering role? The start to 2019 has been explosive in many ways – the other being the super-entertaining and unpredictable Marrakesh ePrix.
In this week’s episode of the [Inside Line F1 Podcast](http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b), we discuss Red Bull Racing rejoicing Honda’s ‘party mode’ for 2019, FIA’s cheeky ways to get Max Verstappen to a Formula E ePrix, Mclaren’s foray into professional cycling, the upcoming Race of Champions and if Esteban Ocon is already dropping hints to attract alternate employment in 2020\. And of course, do you think Romain Grosjean will be in Formula 1 till 2027?
(Season 2019, Episode 1)

10:00-13:00: Red Bull Racing rejoicing at Honda offering them the infamous ‘party mode’ in 2019 – frankly, Red Bull Racing need to plan harder for their parties to be fun since Daniel Ricciardo won’t be around to entertain their guests
13:00-15:00: Mclaren expand (or actually, contract) from racing on four wheels to racing on two! But, Brown’s five year resurrection plan means that if Fernando Alonso was to return to Formula 1, it most certainly won’t be with Mclaren
